The Weight Loss Twins – Jim’s wake-up call
Like their father, Weight Loss Twins, Jim and Bill Germanakos, had been big guys all their lives. Sadly George died of obesity related illness when his sons were young. When the Weight Loss Twins weighed in for The Biggest Loser they weighed 361lbs and 334lbs respectively. Up to this point, Jim was an active guy, a dedicated fire-fighter and cop, a family man who liked to take part and play with his children. He didn’t see his own weight as a huge problem. Like lots of us, he and his wife, Val, enjoyed their food. In any case as Jim saw it, you come to terms with your obesity when you get to 295lbs. It’s part of your chosen lifestyle
However it’s hard to see it that way when it starts interfering with your family’s happiness. Jim’s sixteen year old son, an enthusiastic eagle scout, was thrilled when he got himself and his father accepted on a once in a lifetime adventure trip. It was then that Jim suddenly saw his weight could be a massive problem. When the coach at the training session realised Jim weighed over 300lbs, he was forced to disqualify father and son from the trip. He told them the helicopters wouldn’t be able to evacuate anyone who weighed over 250lbs. Jim’s son was devastated and cried all the way home. The father he loved had let him down. Fortunately for Jim this was when life jumped up and slapped him in the face. After this “Ahaa moment” he was determined to shed those dreaded pounds so that he would not let his family down again. So the Germamakos brothers auditioned for the show and became known as the Weight Loss Twins
