In 2008, she was hired to train "The Biggest Loser's" (NBC's Hit Reality Show) oldest contestants once they were voted off the show in order to get them ready for the finale.
The 64 year old couple, Jerry & Estella Hayes, only lasted on the show two weeks. They spent just under 7 months training with Amanda and lost a combined total of 261 lbs!!! At the live season finale, Jerry's final weigh in resulted in a loss of 177 lbs, equaling almost 50% of his body weight lost. It earned him the $100,000 at home prize and the title of "The Biggest Loser".
