Although last season just ended a couple weeks ago, The Biggest Loser is back! Season 5 – The Biggest Loser Couples premiered on Tuesday night.

The show has been wildly popular, with hardcore fans tuning in for each and every episode. The Biggest Loser takes you inside the lives of contestants as they try to lose excess body weight as they compete for the $250,000 grand prize.

However, now people at home can join in on The Biggest Loser frenzy. Teaming up with MSN, The Biggest Loser Million Pound Match-Up is a challenge for people in the United States to lose a cumulative total of 1,000,000 pounds.

When you signup for the challenge on MSN, you will be paired up with a weight-loss buddy and you will get updated fitness goals to help you achieve your target weight. You will also be eligible for daily prizes.

Best of all, the contest is free. It uses Windows Live Spaces to help track your progress and match you up with someone in your area. Now when you are watching The Biggest Loser this season on NBC you too can get in on the action. This is perfect for those looking to lose weight as part of their New Year’s resolution!
