Plainfield Contestant Survives Week 2 on 'The Biggest Loser'
Tanya Winfield makes it to week three.
Plainfield mom Tanya Winfield still has a shot at becoming the "Biggest Loser" after making it through the second week of the NBC reality show.
The 41-year-old restaurant chain COO had a heavy weight resting on her shoulders this time around: As part of this week's challenge, Winfield was chosen to represent the red team at the weigh-in, meaning her results would determine the fate of her entire team. Winfield's four-pound weight loss was enough to ensure none of her teammates went home this week.
Last week, trainer Dolvett Quince chose Tanya for his team, alongside other contestants including "American Idol" winner Ruben Studdard.
The show airs at 7 Central Tuesdays on NBC.
