NBC Bio
Julio is an “Alpha Dog” that always has a smile on his face. His personality is equaled by his kindness, generosity and love for his family. Julio is the son of Cuban immigrants that fled Communism in the early 1960s. The youngest of three boys, he relied on his charm, wit and good looks to stand out in a crowd. Julio grew up on Cuban food, which eventually led to his weight gain.
Julio works as a mortgage loan officer, a job that requires intelligence and a strong ability to communicate, which has become increasingly difficult due to his weight. Julio would love to become healthy, fit and energetic once again so he may lead his overweight wife and two athletic daughters down the right path. Do not be fooled by his humor, Julio is here to be Season 8’s Biggest Loser!

Hey Julio –
The Posejpal Family is rooting you on. Keep up the good fight. You are inspiring us.
Julio, you remind me of my Dad. He was an awsome man. He just passed away June 30th. He was obese, had diabetes, high blood pressure and many other illnesses that go along with these. I am praying for you. If you see this and get a chance, go to the link @ the bottom and look at the video of my Dad I think you will be surprised at how much you look a like. By the way my Dad was a month shy of his 52nd birthday and spent most of his last 4 years on his back because of hole in his foot that could not heal from diabetes, he died of a morphine over dose because his body could not metabolize the morphine. I pray that you and everyone else on this show is successful in their weight loss. A good Dad is priceless! I’ll be praying and watching the show. http://www.onetruemedia.com/shared?p=9737b5945b6db70f151617&skin_id=701&utm_source=otm&utm_medium=text_url
