The father of the fantastic Weight Loss Twins, George Germanakos, used to claim, "The only way to get something done is to get it started." I'll bet you can imagine how overjoyed and proud he'd have been if he'd lived long enough to see his twin sons, Bill and Jim, diet and exercise their way to victory on series four of the extremely popular NBC weight-loss show The Biggest Loser to become famous as The Weight Loss Twins. Surprisingly, it wasn't always like that, although Jim Germanakos has traditionally been a great fan of the series. Jim's a NY cop and a caring family man. Up to a couple of years before, when his shifts permitted he'd sit on the sofa in front of the television chewing away at high-cal comfort snacks, soaked up by the exploits of the shrinking competitors, but not especially worried about his own 295lb ever expanding waistline. That was before his "ahaa" moment, before he became one of the Weight Loss Twins.

The Weight Loss Twins weighed into the show at 361lbs and 334lbs. Jim and Bill had been large guys since they were young. The Weight Loss Twin's father, George, was a big man as well and had died of obesity related complications when they were children. Despite this, Jim was an active guy, a dedicated fire-fighter and cop who ejoyed joining in and play with his youngsters. He didn't consider his own size was an enormous problem. His better half, Val, was a big lady too. In common with a lot of folks, they enjoyed to eat. As Jim remarks, when you get to 295lbs you come to accept your obesity and keep on eating..

That's until your size starts to stand in the way of your family's happiness! It was when his sixteen year old son, a keen eagle scout, eventually got himself and his pa accepted on a once in a lifetime adventure trip, that Jim suddenly saw his weight was potentially a massive obstacle. While they were on a rigorous training session, when the coach saw that Jim weighed over 300lbs, he had to ban father and son from the adventure. It turned out that the helicopters couldn't evacuate anyone who weighed more than 250lbs. His son was so distressed he cried all the way back. He loved Jim but he understood that his father had let him down. For Jim this was his slap in the face, his "Ahaa moment" and he resolved to do something about it - by becoming one of the Weight Loss Twins.

Therefore together, the Germanakos bros, the Weight Loss Twins, auditioned for The Biggest Loser. In the first 5 weeks Jim managed to shed 54 lbs. Next he was eliminated from the competition. During the next six months at home, through dedication and grit, he lost another 133lbs. He could not have done it without the love and support from his better half, Val, who also lost 50lbs. The Weight Loss Twins went on to win the show. Bill was the series winner and Jim was given the "Winner of losers" prize.

Since then the Weight Loss Twins have been featured on television shows like Larry King Live and Entertainment Tonight and have been given nation-wide affection and approval. They've quite rightly become celebrities in their own field. Particularly they will soon be gaining fame in the video-gaming arena when they appear as characters in the enormously popular Nintendo Wii series. Most significantly in the time since they won the show both the Weight Loss Twins have shown they can keep almost all of the wonderful weight reduction they achieved during their time on The Biggest Loser.
