Who Won The 2011 Biggest Loser Season 11? New York opera singer, Olivia Ward, who initially tipped the scares at 261 pounds, lost half her weight (129 lbs) and took home the title of the Biggest Loser, a $250,000 prize and a healthy new life.

The 35 year-old competed on the show with her sister, Hannah Curlee, who also lost 100 lbs to the final weight of 128 lbs, because she was worried about her health. Olivia was particularly scared when her doctor told her she would not be able to bear children if she didn’t dramatically change her life.

What brought you to The Biggest Loser?
Olivia: I like to control things in my life, but for me, food was the one area of my life where I could be out of control. Then last summer, I turned 35, and I started to panic. I felt like I had wasted all these years being overweight. I decided I did not want to live another day in that body. That’s when I reached out to The Biggest Loser.

Hannah: I was a college athlete, and all these people had such high hopes for me. [After I gained weight] if I saw someone from my past, I would duck into bathrooms. I was just in a funk. I thought, “I’m never going to have kids because no one is going to want to marry me.” It was just a vat of self-pity.
