The Weight Loss Twins Story
The daddy of the incredible Weight Loss Twins, George Germanakos, used to say, “The only way to get something done is to get it started.” I’ll bet you can imagine how pleased and very proud he would be if he’d lived for long enough to see his twin sons, Bill and Jim, exercise and diet their way to victory on series four of the extremely popular NBC weight-loss show The Biggest Loser to become well known as The Weight Loss Twins. However, it was not always just like that, although Jim Germanakos has traditionally been a massive fan of the series. Jim’s a Manhattan cop and a big family man. Up to 2 years ago, when his shifts allowed, he would lounge on the settee before the television chewing away on high-cal comfort snacks, soaked up by the stories of the weight losing competitors, but not really concerned about his own 295lb ever-expanding waistline. However that was before his “ahaa” moment, before he became one of the Weight Loss Twins.
The Weight Loss Twins entered into the show at 361lbs and 334lbs. Jim and Bill had been big guys since they were kids. The Weight Loss Twin’s pa, George, was a big man also and had died from obesity related problems when they were children. Despite this, Jim was an active man, a dedicated fire-fighter and cop who ejoyed joining in and play with his kids. He did not think his own weight was a huge obstacle. His better half, Val, was a big lady as well. Just like plenty of folks, they enjoyed their meals. As Jim puts it, once you reach 295lbs you come to terms with your size and continue on eating..
Until your weight starts to get in the way of your family’s happiness! It was when his 16 year old son, a keen eagle scout, finally got himself and his dad to go on a once in a lifetime adventure trip, that Jim suddenly saw that his weight was potentially a big obstacle. During a rigorous training session, when the coach found out that Jim weighed more than 300lbs, he had to ban father and son from the adventure. It transpired that the rescue helicopters weren’t capable of evacuating people over 250lbs. His son was so upset he was in tears all the way back. He loved Jim but he realised that his father had let him down. For Jim this was his slap in the face, his “Ahaa moment” and he decided to do something about it – by becoming one of the Weight Loss Twins.
Therefore together, the Germanakos brothers, the Weight Loss Twins, went on The Biggest Loser. In the first five weeks Jim managed to lose 54 lbs. Then Jim was knocked out of the competition. Over the following 6 months at home, through dedication and grit, he lost a further 133lbs. He could not have achieved it without the love and support from his better half, Val, who also lost 50lbs. The Weight Loss Twins went on to win the series. Bill was the show series winner and Jim scooped the “Winner of losers” prize.
Since that point the Weight Loss Twins have been featured on television shows including Larry King Live and Entertainment Tonight and have been given nation-wide affection and approval. They’ve justifiably become celebs in their own field. Notably they will soon be gaining fame in the video-gaming arena when they are seen as characters in the hugely popular Nintendo Wii series. Most importantly in the period since they were winners in the show both the Weight Loss Twins have shown they can retain most of the fantastic weight reduction they achieved when they appeared on The Biggest Loser.
