There's no getting past it: the Morellis were a fat family. From cookie dough and pizza binges to extreme plastic surgeries, Ron, Becky, Mike and Max Morelli experienced the swinging pendulum of weight loss that so many readers will know all too well. But when Ron and Mike were accepted as contestants on The Biggest Loser, the Morellis' lives changed forever. Fat Family/Fit Family chronicles the Morellis' amazing journey in dropping over 50 stone together, from the emotional and physical struggles of obesity to the triumph of their newfound healthy lifestyle.

Author Bio

The Morellis are a family that struggled with obesity-and conquered it. In January 2009, Ron Morelli and his eighteen-year-old son, Mike, were cast as contestants on season seven of The Biggest Loser, making it to the final four and losing four hundred pounds combined. At home, Becky (who has previously lost 125 pounds) and her youngest son, Max, watched wtih America as her family shrank. Inspired by his father's and brother's success, Max went on to lose almost 150 pounds. Now, the formerly fat family has become a fit family, inspiring millions along the way. The Morellis live in South Lyon, Michigan, and continue to educate others about nutrition, fitness, and weight loss.
