Big Vinny Hickerson of Trailer Choir is a contestant on NBC’s weight loss challenge, The Biggest Loser, which debuted Sept. 20. For as long as he's on the show, Vinny has agreed to write an exclusive blog for CountryWeekly.com to share with readers just what he's going through.
Why is he on the show? At 27 years old and 426 pounds, a recent health scare caused by high blood sugar convinced him he had to get healthy so he could be there for his fiancée and future stepson.
