Justin Pope

Hometown: Logan, Utah
Occupation:  Gym owner, city worker and bounty hunter

Being around as long as he can be for his family was Justin Pope’s primary motivation for trying out for "The Biggest Loser."  Justin was born and raised in Cokeville, Wyo., the middle child among 10 siblings, and attended Ricks College in Rexburg, Idaho.  He knew he wanted to change his life when he was watching the show last year and cried because he weighed more than the contestants did.  It was an “aha moment” for Justin who says he “never cries,” but he  didn’t realize, until that point, that that’s what he looked like, too.  Justin, who weighs 365 lbs., has always been heavy, and he and several family members have diabetes.  Now married and the father of a 10-year-old son and 12-year-old daughter, the 39-year-old looks forward to shopping in regular stores, riding horses again, playing sports and being able to do more with his kids once he loses the weight.
