NSD: What was your big turning point-either during the show or before that made you realize you needed to lose the weight?
Frequent trips to the ER or calls to 911 for high blood pressure and panic
attacks.
NSD: What is one thing you wish you had known before going on The Biggest Loser?
That I was capable of losing weight and becoming more active
NSD: Did you think it’sharder or easier to be on the show with a family member as a teammate as opposed
to competing by yourself? I think it's easier to be with a family member
because you're with someone you know and you can push each other and you know
what makes the other person tick.

Lost more weight in week one
NSD: What was the hardest thing to adapt to while being on the ranch?
Being away form my wife and having no outside communication or
television
NSD: What is one thing that keeps you motivated?
My future wedding ceremony and future children
NSD: What is your favorite workout?
Throwing a medicine ball against an impact wall.
NSD: What's the best advice Bob or Jillian has given you?
Bob told me not to compare myself to other contestants as they don't know what I've been through and my physical limitations will not stop me from being successful.
NSD: What is your favorite meal or snack?
Tilapia or orange ruffee with asparagus
NSD: What's something viewers at home wouldn't know from watching the show?
I'm not sure. I think I laid it all out there.

I Love this show, it's so inspiring and I wish you all the luck and I KNOW YOU CAN DO IT! :) However; I don't think it's Fair to eliminate people so quickly! I hope they at least give you long enough to learn some helpful things before going home because it's hard enough to lose on our own but to get there, only to get eliminated right away - I'm really sorry - I know it's hard to lose. Your not a loser in ANY sense of the word and we believe in you - Stay strong James- you'll succeed!! :)

When I saw your picture I couldn't believed it, but if it is your real weight brother please don't attempt to decrease it again.

I saw you on the show and you have real potential. Although you were eliminated, you still hold your head up high and get that weight off. You have the determination to do it and I look forward to seeing you at least 200 pounds lighter. With hard work and believing in yourself you can do it. Just hit the gym and carry on. You can do it. We all have faith in you
