Antoine Dove fought the fight with obesity since his younger years as a child. As he grew older he had a strong desire to give back to others by working in the field of health and wellness; ironically all he knew was an unhealthy lifestyle. Chasing his dreams to help others Antoine earned a bachelor’s degree from one of the top public health programs at The University of North Carolina with a degree in Health Policy and Management. Antoine began a career with Humana Inc. as a health insurance provider.

While working in the health care field, he tipped the scales at a hefty 367 pounds. At the young age of 23 Antoine was pre-diabetic, sluggish, and near death so he decided to fight for his life. Coincidentally, after Antoine’s determination set in, one of Antoine’s friends advised that the “The Biggest Loser” was coming to town to hold auditions and that he should attend. Antoine took a leap of faith and landed a spot as a cast member on Season 8 of “The Biggest Loser” in 2009.

Although his time on the show was short lived because he sacrificed his place for the heaviest contestant, Shay, Antoine lost 152 pounds in 6 short months on his own at home while working a corporate job.
