Helen Phillips, 48 years old, won the 'Biggest Loser' season 7 crown and the $250,000grand prize. Helen’s way to reach the crown not easy. Having begun the season at 257 pounds, she wasn't considered a serious threat to beat out considerably younger finalists Mike Morelli (19) and Tara Costa (24).
Costa, a ferociously competitive former model, won a record 12 challenges and didn't once fall below the dreaded yellow line (a 'Biggest Loser' first). And Morelli, a fan favorite, beat out his father Ron with enough call-in votes to win the third spot in the finale.
