An interesting article an interview with Damien:
Biggest Loser Couple Damien & Nicole Prep for Wedding
The contestants got a reality check on Tuesday’s episode of Biggest Loser: Couples episode, when game play reared its ugly head in the season’s third week, resulting with the nice guy finishing last. Team Red’s Damien Gurganious, 31, fell below the yellow line with Team Silver’s Joelle Gwynn, an increasingly unpopular teammate for her lack of desire to be at the Ranch. But when it came time for elimination, Jillian’s team went for the lesser threat and a tie vote sent Damien packing due to his lower percentage weight loss. At home in Brooklyn with his fiancée and teammate Nicole Brewer, Damien has already lost 85 lbs., and has a goal to be a sexy 180 at their wedding. He spoke to reporters about his experiences how his life has changed, what they’re doing to prepare for the wedding and whether Joelle is really as bad as she appears on TV.
How has the weight loss and the whole experience affected your relationship with Nicole?
The weight loss is going to open up different doors for activities that we can do as a couple. We love to fly and … with the weight loss, it allows us to enjoy each other and not be cramped up in the seats, and if somebody actually gets a seat in between us, they can actually enjoy their plane ride as well. . . . We can now go for three or four-hour bike rides and not be tired or winded. We can go to a movie theatre together and sit side by side and not infringe upon each other’s space and comfort. We get to relive things we’ve been doing all the time and we get to experience it the way skinny folks do.
How’s it going in the kitchen? Did you modify your recipes?
I had to throw them out and get a whole new set of recipes. You really can’t cook low-fat coconut rice. You have to just have plain brown rice and try to enjoy it. I make a low-sodium chicken soup that allows you to get all your vegetables in. Let’s be honest here, vegetables are not always the greatest unless they are salted down or almost fried. I figured out a way to make a chicken soup where you get the flavor, and it’s hearty and filling.
What is your pre-wedding diet plan?
There are three things that we actually follow: 1: our calorie intake. 2: A minimum cardio workout of 90 minutes in the morning and 90 minutes at night, six days a week. 3: Water to get rid of the sodium intake that comes with the food.
Will you be inviting anybody from the show to your wedding?
Bob’s entire team will be there. We’ve decided we’re going to have a giant round table cut into a pie chart with blue, pink, brown colors and that’s going to be the Biggest Loser wedding party.
What would you do with the $100,000 if you won the at-home prize at the finale?
Our wedding is already paid for. I think the honeymoon is going to be the magical part. I’m going to take the longest honeymoon ever recorded in history. Right now, it’s five months of working out everyday, with Nicole and I in each other’s faces and we are going to need a vacation that we can actually forget that we worked out for five months through achy bones, tired muscles and frustration.
Is Joelle really as bad as what viewers see on TV?
You can’t fake what you saw. . . . I don’t think she was prepared for the emotional and physical battle. A lot of times people act out different ways, and with hers it was just what you saw, an emotional block.

Biggest Loser 7 - Episode 4 - Behind The Scenes
This week we answered some of your questions

From etonline.com
Is Daniel Wright, the heaviest-ever "The Biggest Loser" contestant, quitting the competition?
"I never thought it was possible to not be fat," Daniel, who weighed 454 pounds on week one, tells trainer Jillian Michaels. "I look in the mirror and I try to see that this can happen, but..."
On tonight's episode of the weight-loss competition, Jillian is frustrated with Daniel's inability to psyche himself up for the workouts, despite the fact that he has lost 48 pounds in three weeks.
"Dan doesn't get out of his comfort zone," Jillian explains. "He talks a good game, but he doesn't follow through."
What Jillian is trying to get the 19-year-old to achieve is a five-minute run on the treadmill, but Daniel keeps making excuses.
"All these things keep popping up in my head," he explains. "I weigh 400 pounds. I could break my knee, or my ankle could go out. All these excuses make me want to run away."
Tune in tonight to find out Daniel's fate, when "The Biggest Loser" airs at 8 p.m. on NBC.
