The Biggest Loser News: Sonya Jones dropped 100 pounds and only five more contestants left

Sonya Jones, a contestant of The Biggest Loser Season 16, surprised everybody by dropping 100 pounds! That was a better way to start the new year!

US weekly had an emotional exclusive clip and photo showing her slimmed-down figure. She was a former softball semi-pro player.

"Since Junior High, I've gone to bed with the same thought every night: Maybe tomorrow will be the day that your weight-loss challenge actually starts," Jones, a PE teacher, tells the camera in the clip. "Physically I feel like a complete disaster...I'm desperate to make a change."

The training and dieting lasted for 15 weeks until finally Jones made the spectacular makeover. Trainer Jennifer Widerstrom was between tears on Jones' transformation: "I'm speechless...truly this is the butterfly experience for Sonya."

Jones, who started the show weighing 283 pounds, says during her sit-down. "Looking at this picture of me at 283 pounds, I was so embarrassed of that picture, I felt like, 'Did you really look like that?' I realized that [old picture] will never define me again.

Meanwhile, The Biggest Loser final contestants had an amazing beach experience in Hawaii.

There are only five remaining contestants and after some inspiring words about moving forward with the new year, the contestants awkwardly move some logs around the Hawaii beach for exercise.
