The Weight Loss Twins

The father of the popular Weight Loss Twins, George Germanakos, used to point out,tell his sons, "The only way to get something done is to get it started." Imagine how delighted and proud he'd have been if he had lived for long enough to watch his twin sons, Bill and Jim, diet and exercise their way to victory on series four of the enormously popular NBC weight-loss show The Biggest Loser to become well known as The Weight Loss Twins. You'll be surprised to hear, it wasn't always like that, although Jim Germanakos has always been a massive fan of the series. Jim is a Manhattan cop and a loving family man. Up to 2 years ago, whenever 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 contestants, but not especially worried about his own 295lb ever expanding frame. That was before his "ahaa" moment, before he was one of the Weight Loss Twins.

The Weight Loss Twins weighed into the competition at 361lbs and 334lbs. Jim and Bill had been large guys since they were kids. The Weight Loss Twin's pop, George, was a big man as well and had died from obesity related problems when they were children. In spite of this, Jim was an active man, a dedicated fire-fighter and cop who enjoyed taking part and play with his children. He did not think his own weight was a large handicap. His wife, Val, was a big lady as well. Just like a lot of folks, they enjoyed . As Jim puts it, when you get to 295lbs you simply come to terms with your obesity and carry on snacking..

Until your weight begins to get in the way of your family's happiness! It was when his sixteen year old son, an ardent eagle scout, finally got himself and his pop to go on a once in a lifetime adventure trip, that Jim suddenly saw his size was potentially a big obstacle. When they were participating in a rigorous training session, when the coach saw that Jim weighed more than 300lbs, he had to ban father and son from the trip. It transpired that the helicopters couldn't evacuate anyone over 250lbs. His son was so distressed he was in tears on the way home. He loved Jim but he understood that his father had let him down. When Jim saw his son's distress this was a slap in the face, his "Ahaa moment" and he decided to do something about it - by becoming one of the Weight Loss Twins.

Then together, the Germanakos bros, the Weight Loss Twins, went on The Biggest Loser. During the first five weeks Jim managed to lose 54 lbs. Next he was eliminated from the competition. During the next six months at home, thru dedication and grit, he shed another 133lbs. He couldn't have managed it without the love and support from his wife, Val, who also shed 50lbs. The Weight Loss Twins went on to win the competition. Bill was the series winner and Jim scooped the "Winner of losers" prize.

Since that time the Weight Loss Twins have told their stories on TV shows including Larry King Live and Entertainment Tonight and have been given world-wide love and approbation. They've justifiably become celebs in their own field.
