The Two Over 50 Candidates On Season 16 Become One

Zina Garrison Update

Fifty year old, Zina Garrison was the first contestant to be eliminated from Season 16 of The Biggest Loser. The 263 pound Garrison struggled to make it through  the first challenge, so she did not make it onto the Red, Blue or White team.  She ran out of energy and strength shortly before crossing the finish line and had to be treated by paramedics and carried from the obstacle course.   After leaving the ranch, she was given a second chance  at Comeback Canyon with veteran trainer Bob Harper. In this challenge, she competed against ousted contestant Vanessa Hayden, former WNBA player. The goal of the challenge was obtain the highest percentage of weight loss at the end of a week of diet and intense working out. Unfortunately,  Zina was not the biggest loser, since Vanessa lost a greater percentage of weight in the challenge. Zina was sent home, but in the post episode update, Zina  had lost 40  pounds and continues to work out. We will see her again at the end of this Season.
