Allen grew up a middle child in a large family that found comfort in food. It was not until well into his adult life that he paid the ultimate price. Allen has gained well over a hundred pounds since his days as a young college student, and it’s made a huge impact on his career as a firefighter/EMT. You can watch his journey on the Biggest Loser 8 Tuesdays at 8 PM ET on NBC. Visit the show online at nbc.com.
