Ron and Max Morelli Prepare for Release of Fat Family, Fit Family

Now in its eleventh season, Biggest Loser has had individuals compete and teams of two, but ever more than that. Unless you count season seven. That’s when Ron Morelli and his son Mike Morelli competed as the brown team, a team of three if you count honorary member Max Morelli, the youngest son in the family. Ron and Mike went on to the final four that season, but Max watched from home; at 17 he was too young to join the show. However, the trio lost astounding weight together at home and continue to support one another today.

You can hear all about the impressive story of this family’s journey to health in their upcoming book Fat Family, Fit Family, a group effort that includes contributions from Becky Morelli, “the mom,” who also has her own weight loss success story to share.

In the meantime, we caught up with Ron and Max during a recent stay at Biggest Loser Resort. It was Max’s third trip, and a first for Ron.

First, catch-up with Max, a young man we’ve had the privilege of watching grow and transform into an inspiring, healthy and smart “kid.” Since 2024 he’s lost more than 150 pounds, mostly during his stays at the Resort but also from a lot of hard work at home.
