NBC Bio
Dane is the classic offensive lineman who played in high school and college, and was told to eat big and be big or get cut from the football team. In recent years it has been quite the opposite; he has been told to diet and lose weight or die a young death. Just five years ago Dane was a lean, mean machine, but since switching to that infamous desk job, he has found himself inching towards an obese 400 pounds.
Although Dane is 395 pounds, he still plays sports and is more athletic than anyone his size. Dane fears leaving his family at a young age, and because of his size it is possible that could be in the not-too-distant future. He has to do this, and the love of his family along with his competitive spirit will make sure that he is the Biggest Loser.
Dane is the biggest liar. I was at that Desert Classics Marathon.
NBC is supposed to be rectifying the misleading events of the latest episode.
Dane and NBC are liars. Sorry, many of us battle weight issues and many of us have worked hard to finish a marathon even at 100 pounds over weight. Even running the extra 3 miles later in the day you still did not complete a marathon. You have to live with that so prove to yourself you can do it. Train and try again. There is no better feeling than crossing the finishline. Maybe consider joining a charity like Team in Training.
