Membership Luncheon, August 2010
 Meet and Be Inspired by the Biggest Loser
Matt Hoover is the winner of NBC’s Emmy nominated reality series The Biggest Loser. Matt won the show’s grand prize of $250,000 by shedding an incredible 157 pounds.
As a young man Matt was an elite athlete who earned a scholarship to wrestle at The University of Iowa for legendary coach Dan Gable. While at Iowa Matt was a member of four NCAA Division I national championship teams. Unfortunately, poor choices while in college kept Matt from reaching his goals of becoming a national wrestling champion and Olympian.
After failing to meet his goals Hoover walked a path of personal destruction through his eating and drinking habits. Matt went from a 177 pound world level competitor to over 350 pounds in a very short period of time. In an attempt to pull himself out of despair he applied to be on The Biggest Loser.
Mr. Hoover was chosen to be one of 14 contestants who were chosen out of 250,000 applicants to be on The Biggest Loser.
Matt shares his personal story and how his destructive habits were leading him down the path to a premature death and how one small action toward improvement drastically changed his life.
Matt has appeared on Oprah, Larry King, The Today Show, Regis and Kelly, Dr. Keith Ablow, The Joy Behar Show and countless other national programs sharing his story.
Mr. Hoover is a nationally known speaker as well as an author. He and his wife Suzy, whom he met on The Biggest Loser, have two children Rex (3) and Jax (2). Matt is currently preparing for his second Ironman race, an endurance challenge in which competitors conquer a 2.4 mile open water swim, a 112 mile bike ride, and a 26.2 mile run all in the same day with a 17 hour cut off time.
Matt is living proof that it is never too late to make changes that can lead to an amazing life.
