Antoine Dove was one of the contestants who was recently eliminated from Season 8 of the NBC reality weight-loss competition series "The Biggest Loser."

Tune in Wednesday, November 18th, to hear his story of how he was picked to be on the show, how it has changed his life, and where he is now with his weight loss journey!

Antoine Dove, who is a health insurance agent, was looking to shed his extra pounds after struggling with developing a regimented gym schedule because he travels quite a bit for work. After slowly packing on the pounds year by year, Antoine knew he would not be able to provide for his mother and brother if he did not stay fit and healthy. Helping raise his younger brother has forced Antoine to grow up fast and become the leader he is today. Antoine's father passed away from heart disease at the young age of 30 and Antoine is afraid he will share the same fate if he does not change his life now. Being raised by a single mother, Antoine took on the role of being man of the house and always tried to set a good example for his little brother.
