This is Sam Rouen, pictured before as a teenager on reality TV show ‘The Biggest Loser’
He was always heavy in his younger days before deciding to go on the show
He was the winner of the third series back in 2008
Going from a hefty 154kg
To 83kg, losing an astonishing 71kg in 12 weeks on the show
He has kept up his healthy lifestyle in the 10 years since
”I’m addicted to working out now, I definitely love running and working out with my brother”
He has fulfilled his dream of becoming a firefighter
And has appeared as a model in a firefighters calendar
He has found love and is engaged to his girlfriend Daniella
Despite his impressive physique he still gets self conscious
”I still don’t like taking my shirt off, even at the beach”
Sam’s story is pretty inspirational and shows what can be done with some hard work and dedication to healthy living
”You can be at your lowest point and, with a bit of hard work and persistence, you can turn it around and fulfill your dreams”
