This is Sam Rouen before joining Biggest Loser and before he became a fireman.
He was always heavy and had obesity issues during his childhood, but it escalated in his early teens.
In 2008, he participated in The Biggest Loser to get rid of the extra weight and to change his life.
He went from weighing 340 pounds …
… to just 183 pounds! Sam lost 157 pounds in just 12 weeks.
Since then Sam has maintained his healthy lifestyle. For 10 years, he has been exercising regularly and eating well.
“I’m addicted to working out now, I definitely love running and working out with my brother,” says Sam.
Sam has also fulfilled his childhood dream: to become a firefighter.
He has modeled for several calendars.
Talk about the difference 10 years makes …
He has also found the love of his life, Dani — and they’re engaged!
Despite his impressive physique, Sam is still humble and down to earth.
It’s clear that those tough years — when he was overweight — still impact him today.
“I still don’t like taking my shirt off, even at the beach,” says Sam.
Sam’s journey is truly inspiring and shows that it’s actually possible to change your life, even if it feels almost impossible at the time
When we see his transformation, we’re reminded that NOTHING is impossible!
“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,” says Sam.
