Biggest Loser fans were anxiously waiting to find out which contestant had come the furthest this season to secure the title of Biggest Loser Winner 2011. We’re happy to report that Olivia Ward was crown last night after losing half her weight over the course of the show.
Olivia, who weighed a whopping 261lbs before starting the show, was told by her doctor that, if she didn’t lose a significant amount of weight, she may not be able to carry a child through pregnancy. This was motivation for Olivia and she and her sister Hannah embarked on the journey of a lifetime, joining the Season 11 group of Biggest Losers.
Olivia, 35, ended up losing half her body weight and clocked in at 132lbs during last night’s finale.
“I’m so excited because a whole frontier of roles is in front of me. Now, the sky’s the limit and I’m so excited,” Olivia said.
Olivia’s sister, Hannah, came in just shy of the title, beginning at 248lbs and finishing the season at 128lbs while Olivia’s husband joined in the fun and lost 100lbs at home as well.
Looks like The Biggest Loser has had a hugely positive impact on this family!
Take a look at the before and after photos of Olivia above and Hannah below and let us know what you think of their transformations!

I AM VERY PROUD OF ALL CONTESTANT BECAUSE I HAVE A WEIGHT PROBLEM TOO. I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO LOSE WEIGHT AND IT IS NOT EASY. SO HAT OFF TO THE WINNER AND THOSE THAT ALSO WAS ON THE SHOW THAT LOST.
Is there excess skin in such weight loss as the recent winners (all have won in my book) or is there a strategy to avoid such things

Dear Ruthie
Thanks so much Dear Ruthie! You’re the best!
Does anyone know anything about where I could find the dress that Hannah was wearing? I’m so a sucker for RED!!
Thanks for the info on the dress! I’m hoping they see the popularity of it and make a knock off for bcbg stores. I can’t swing a paycheck on one dress!!!
But LOVED it.
