Lisa Hose becomes Australia’s first female Biggest Loser

SYDNEY - A West Australian mother has become the first woman to win reality TV show The Biggest Loser.

Lisa Hose has lost almost half her body weight to triumph in the latest series.

Hose was declared the winner for shedding 56.2 kilos in 5 months.

She entered the competition weighing 121.9 pounds and toned down herself to 65.7 kilos, reports The Sydney Morning Herald.

Hose is a 40-year-old education assistant who works with disabled children.

She defeated 21-year-old Joe Medway from Queensland who lost 82.7 kilos and managed the second spot.

Hose said that the weight loss was far more than she had expected.All I ever wanted from The Biggest Loser was to get my weight off and be a better role model to my beautiful daughters and to make my husband proud,” she said.

“I could never have done it without the support of my trainer Shannan Ponton. Thanks to him, I am looking forward to a new beginning with my family,” Hose added. (ANI)
