Season Two

Season two of The Biggest Loser was held in 2010 on Mallorca. The slogan of that season was Abspecken im Doppelpack (Losing weight in double pack). The host was retired boxer Regina Halmich.

The biggest loser title was won by Heino from Hamburg who shared the prize with his teammate Sven, who finished third.
