Last season, Daniel tipped the scales as the biggest Biggest Loser contestant ever. This season Shay is the heaviest. But come January, twin brothers from Orlando may be the heaviest contestants yet on Biggest Loser season 9.

We say "may" because for all we know, there may be some unannounced 500-pounders lined up.

John (484) and James (485) Crutchfield will be part of the ninth season of The Biggest Loser, which begins in January, just in time for reinforcing your resolution.

Shay was a mere 476 pounds when season 8 kicked off last week.

The brothers, wearing shirts that usually signify the brown team, had a send-off in downtown Orlando's Church Street district Wednesday as they left for the Biggest Loser campus.
