Carla Triplett<\/strong> made The Biggest Loser<\/em> history<\/a> when she appeared on the show\u2019s seventh season in 2009 at 379 pounds \u2014 the heaviest for a contestant at the time.<\/p>\n

But as she showed during her run on the show, Triplett was committed to bettering her life. By the time she was eliminated in week five, she was down to 251 pounds. She has had ups and downs in her weight loss journey since then, and while she now lives a more private life, she has no problem sharing what she\u2019s comfortable with on social media.<\/p>\n

Triplett\u2019s priorities seem to revolve around family, as she frequently shares photos of her siblings, parents, nieces and nephews.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tThe Biggest Loser became a cultural phenomenon when it premiered in 2004 \u2014 but the show has been plagued with scandals and controversy as well. When NBC introduced the show, it followed a group of people deemed overweight who would compete in a 30-week competition. The goal was to lose as many pounds as possible [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Triplett appeared on The Biggest Loser<\/em> season 7, which aired in 2009. She was sent home in week 1 and eliminated in week 5, but not before losing 128 pounds in the process.<\/p>\n

She Went on the Show With Former Friend Joelle Gwynn<\/h2>\n

Triplett and Gwynn<\/a> were relatively new friends when they went on The Biggest Loser<\/em>, and their friendship did not last through their reality careers. Gwynn butted heads during the show with trainer Bob Harper<\/strong><\/a>, leading her to temporarily quit. Triplett managed to bring her back, but the two bickered throughout their time, including one week where Gwynn did not manage to lose any weight at all.<\/p>\n

\u201cI still consider her a friend and have reached out to her many times but I don\u2019t know how she feels,\u201d Triplett told People<\/em><\/a> in 2009.<\/p>\n

Gwynn said at the time that the two were merely acquaintances and would continue pursuing their weight loss goals separately.<\/p>\n

Whether I was skinny or whether I was [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Triplett Criticized Gwynn for Her Comments on Netflix\u2019s \u2018The Biggest Loser\u2019 Documentary<\/h2>\n

Fit For TV: The Reality of the Biggest Loser<\/em> is now on Netflix, but Triplett does not appear to have watched. She did, however, say that her sister has tuned in and she seemed to have sharp words<\/a> for Gwynn.<\/p>\n

\u201cAll of my ideas verbatim are being plagiarized by a person being interviewed on this show!\u201d she wrote via Instagram. \u201cBut hold up\u2026. Now \u2018She was my friend!\u2019 All for a check, RUN ME MY MONEY!! Girl Bye!\u201d<\/p>\n
