During the workout, Ashley began crying about her mom, so Jillian led her inside and told her she was going to talk to her mom and tell her how she feels. Once inside, Ashley told Sherry she felt like she&#8217;s had to take care of her since her dad (Sherry&#8217;s husband) passed away, but Sherry let her daughter know she wants her to focus on herself instead.<br \/>\n<span id=\"more-6972\"><\/span><\/p>\n<h3>A Tasty Challenge<\/h3>\n<p>Back in the &#8220;Biggest Loser&#8221; kitchen, Mike&#8217;s mother sent word that his grandmother&#8217;s health was declining, so he packed his bags and headed home. Meanwhile, the remaining &#8220;Biggest Loser&#8221; couples met with Alison and Chef Curtis Stone. Alison told them they would have 30 minutes to prepare an appetizer, entr\u00e9e and dessert, using only 12 ingredients, and the chef would choose the winning team. The biggest news of all: the winning team would get a 5-pound advantage at the weigh-in!<\/p>\n<p>Each team took turns picking 12 ingredients, and then they made their way into the kitchen. Each contestant worked hard to ensure his or her dishes would be good enough to win Chef Stone&#8217;s vote.<\/p>\n<p>30 minutes later Chef Stone sampled the food that the &#8220;Biggest Loser&#8221; couples cooked for him. He started, of course, with the appetizers and liked Andrea&#8217;s better, so the black team earned their first point. Chef Stone moved on to the entr\u00e9es, and the blue team won that round. Finally, it was time for dessert. Though Chef Stone thought both desserts were yummy, he liked Stephanie&#8217;s better, giving the black team the win they hoped for.<\/p>\n<h3>Last Chance Workout and Weigh-in<\/h3>\n<p>Bob and Jillian led their teams to the gym for another Last Chance Workout. With the black team&#8217;s 5-pound advantage, Bob knew his team was at a disadvantage, so Bob put the black team through a tough workout and hoped it would be enough to keep them out of the elimination room.<\/p>\n<p>Mike returned to the &#8220;Biggest Loser&#8221; ranch and reported that his grandmother was on a ventilator. Then Mike thanked his competitors for their support. Shortly after Mike&#8217;s return, the blue and black teams headed to the scales.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Andrea lost 5 pounds.<\/li>\n<li> Sam lost 8 pounds.<\/li>\n<li> Ashley lost 7 pounds.<\/li>\n<li> Stephanie lost 2 pounds.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The black team lost a combined total of 30 pounds (2.5 percent).<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Lance lost 8 pounds.<\/li>\n<li> Daris lost 10 pounds.<\/li>\n<li> Koli lost 9 pounds.<\/li>\n<li> O&#8217;Neal lost 9 pounds.<\/li>\n<li> Sunshine lost 9 pounds.<\/li>\n<li> Mike lost 11 pounds.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The blue team lost a combined total of 56 pounds (3.11 percent) and won the weigh-in.<\/p>\n<p>The black team felt Sherry could continue her weight loss journey at home, so Sherry bid farewell to her daughter and friends.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Update:<\/strong> Although Sherry&#8217;s teammates voted her off the &#8220;Biggest Loser&#8221; ranch, Sherry has continued to workout and eat right at home, and to-date she&#8217;s lost 80 pounds.<\/p>\n<p class=\"correspondent\">(By Misti Sandefur for CalorieLab Calorie Counter News)<\/p>\n<p>From the RSS feed of <a href=\"http:\/\/calorielab.com\/news\">CalorieLab News<\/a> (REF3076322B7)<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/calorielab.com\/news\/2010\/03\/16\/the-biggest-loser-couples-prepare-a-meal-for-chef-curtis-stone\/\">The Biggest Loser Couples Prepare a Meal for Chef Curtis Stone<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"feedflare\">\n<a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.calorielab.com\/~ff\/calorie-counter-news?a=Q-1NxsAoOtM:gSu4-OJGcxo:yIl2AUoC8zA\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/calorie-counter-news?d=yIl2AUoC8zA\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a>\n<\/div>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~r\/calorie-counter-news\/~4\/Q-1NxsAoOtM\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\"\/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The &#8220;Biggest Loser&#8221; couples met with Alison for a pop quiz.
