Erik Chopin is the Winner of NBC’s The Biggest Loser Season 3. He lost the most of weight on the show that year and held that record until the Season 8’s winner broke it. Erik lost a staggering 214 lbs in just 8 months, going from 407 lbs to 193 lbs. But, what many may or may not know is that he also gained most of it back just two years later. He found himself in the same situation of having to lose it all again, as many people have, but this time he gained more than he did the first time by tapping into the reasons of why he gained it in the first place.
“I figured out the missing pieces to maintaining the healthy lifestyle. It wasn’t just healthy eating and getting exercise and I want to share my journey with you. We have worked hard to assemble a team of counselors and life coaches that will mentor you in your journey to keep the weight off for good. For me, it had a lot to do with retraining my mind and heart for the long term lifestyle commitment of health and wellness. It also had a lot to do with discovering my drive to help others to succeed in your journey to their own wellness. Join me for one on one coaching sessions and weekly teleconferences to reveal the missing pieces inside you.”
