eason 14 of The Biggest Loser came to a close on Monday and with it, a new winner.

What a transformation: Danni Allen was crowned The Biggest Loser on Monday after she lost 46.9% of her body weight

Danni went from 238lbs to 137lbs, meaning that she lost 46.9% of her body weight, and 121lbs in total.
Jeff on the other hand shed a staggering 181lbs, going from 388lbs to 207lbs. This meant he had lost 46.6% of his body weight.
Had Jeff managed to drop just one more pound, the percentage of his body weight lost would have exceeded Danni’s and he would have been the one taking home the $250,000 cash prize.
