On the finale this season we meet Jeff, a 423 pound 55 year old and Juliana, a 265 pound 15 year old with a broken relationship. It is apparent that these two need some serious bonding time along with their year long transformation. Lucky for them they are already in Denver, near the Ansutzch Wellness Center. !2 miles to be exact.. and Chris and Heidi want them to walk the 12 miles to the center before they accept them into the program.

 

For Phase I Jeff's goal is to lose 124, Juliana's goal is to lose 66 pounds (figured out by a pediatrician specializing in overweight children). Unfortunately Juliana has to start school so she is only able to do 45 days of the 90 day bootcamp but Jeff stays on campus with Chris and Heidi. Neither of them are able to make their goals, however. Jeff blames his injured back, weighing in 19 pounds away from his goal. Juliana blames long days at school, weight in 22 pounds away from her goal. But both promise to take Phase II more seriously.

 

Chris and Heidi get Demaryius Thomas, the Broncos wide receiver, to do drills with them, Terrell Davis to deliver opening day tickets to them both, and sent them gym equipment to their home. But when it comes time to check in, something is amiss. Per usual, the participants are lying. They're not working out when or as hard as they say they are, putting their progress on hold. Phase II goal for Jeff is to lose 55 pounds, but he falls short once again... weighing in at 277 (but Chris and Heidi are ecstatic that he lost 30 pounds in only 6 weeks). Phase II for Juliana is to lose an additional 30 pounds, but she also falls short, but only by 4 pounds. For their 6 month milestone Chris and Heidi send them to Orlando to run the Disney half marathon. What is with this show and marathons? Better them than me. What's most impressive is Heidi must be only a few months postpartum at this point and she's dominating the half marathon with the father, daughter duo.

 

In order to be a candidate for skin removal surgery Jeff has to weight under 250. Heidi wants Juliana in at 175 by next weigh in, as well as join the NFL to be an ambassador to work with kids to encourage physical activity. Just for tagging along with his daughter, Jeff now gets to meet all his football heroes.

 

At the nine month weigh in Juliana learns since she is only 16 she is not eligible for skin removal surgery and weighs in at 184. Her third unmet goal. Jeff weights in at 249, his first met goal and making him a candidate for skin removal surgery.

 

At the final weigh in Jeff and Juliana look fantastic. Chris and Heidi can actually put their arms around Jeff when they hug him. What a year. Juliana comes in at 170 pounds, 95 pounds lost! Jeff comes in at 218 pounds, 205 pounds lost!
