A new Nintendo Wii game based on the popular 'Biggest Loser' series hits stores on October 6, and Bob Harper, a trainer on the show, is very excited about it. More About The Game
"It's almost like being a contestant on the show. Not only is there a workout, but there are challenges and there's recipes from our book. There's the whole package in this video game," he says.
In an interview with PopEater, Bob talks about the advantages of the game, and what he loves about 'The Biggest Loser.' More

The game gets people exercising with the help of Harper and fellow 'Loser' trainer Jillian Michaels' avatars -- which were meticulously crafted to look just like their alter-egos.
When he saw himself on the screen, the tattooed Harper was surprised.
"I was like, wait a minute, those are my tattoos!" he explains.
But more important to Harper, is the effect the game will have.
"I'm so excited about this game because I'm just trying to reach out to more people to get them to work out. To reach out through a video game like this, I think is going to be such a great tool," he tells PopEater.
"We have the workout DVDs, we have the show ... everything I hear all the time is that we're inspiration. It's like 'You inspire me to do this, you inspire me to get off the sofa.' All of the sudden there's a whole new population. Being able to put this into your video game and get a work out in, there are no more excuses. I'm trying to figure out every way to take an excuse out from in front of people," Bob adds.
Being a part of 'The Biggest Loser' has changed his life, the trainer reveals.
"It's redefined what my purpose in life is and it is to be able to help as many people as I can live a healthier and happier life. It's like the one thing that I realize is that I have a calling to help as many people as I can and 'The Biggest Loser' gives me that platform."
I was lucky enough to never have been overweight in my life. That all ended after the birth of my second child. I got down to 20 pounds over my normal weight but no matter what I did I couldn't lose the rest. I didn't know if was age catching up with me or if somehow my metabolism changed. Whatever the reason, nothing was working. I tried all the bogus "diet" pills that we see all over the internet, but are just scams. All I ever lost with that stuff was money. One of my friends, knowing what I was going through, told me that she had been losing weight using a special plan http://bit.ly/FatLoss4You It laid out the facts in a way I never saw before and had easy to follow meal plans and diets. Not only have I lost the weight and kept it off but I'm leading a healthier lifestyle, mostly from the knowledge I gained from this amazing program.
Recently,I found a very interesting place ______W ea l t h y C u p i d. C 0 M_____. It is the best club for seeking the rich singles, beauties and even hot celebs......There are More than 3,200,000 members. including CEOs, professional athletes, doctors, lawyers, investors, entrepreneurs, professional models and cheerleaders, and Hollywood celebrities, just to name a few.I think everyone need to meet some miracle after all the terrible stuff in the news and the economy . You should check it out!
