Biggest Loser contestant Gerard: Weight loss hard, but worth it

Limerick man Gerard Burke, who appeared on the reality TV show 'The Biggest Loser', has said he made a choice to either lose the weight or kill himself eating.

At his heaviest, the 24-year-old tipped the scales at over 23 stone. He dropped almost 14 stone taking part in the show and now wants to help educate children about the importance of a healthy lifestyle.
