Contestant from the New “The Biggest Loser” is from Philly!

How awesome is this!?  The Biggest Loser is back this January on USA, and one of the new contestants is from Philly!  Essington in Delco to be exact, but all the same.

I chatted with Jim over Instagram and here's what he had to say!

Jim DiBattista, 47, grew up in Clifton/Upper Darby and now lives in Essington!  He's a "monster" Eagles fan and helped run St Gabe's CYO football in Norwood.  He's been married 19 years, played HS football at Upper Darby and college football at Delaware Valley in Doylestown.  He's the dad of 3 boys and likes long walks on the beach and the occasional candle lit dinner.  HA!

“I wanted to take this opportunity to make myself a better husband, a better man,” he says. “I’m trying to change who I am mentally so when I go home I’m not as stressed out.”

Also, in case you didn't now, I was also on The Biggest Loser!  Season 4 back in 2007!  I had the best time and I would do it again in a second!
