There are expectations that are put on Koli because of his weight: he is expected to eat more than everyone else, and he is the first person everyone calls when they need help moving. Koli&#8217;s jobs as a high school football coach by ay and head of security by night causes him to eat at odd hours. Koli grew up playing sports with an understanding of the importance of healthy living. He is very involved in athletics and wants to continue coaching where he can be a role model for young men. The first step to achieving this dream is being healthy and fit himself.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Other Spellings <\/strong>Kolinaisi, Kolli, Kolie, Coli, Balu, Poueu, Pallu, Paloo<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.anrdoezrs.net\/click-1825067-10419578?sid=BL9Bio\" target=\"_blank\"><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.lduhtrp.net\/image-1825067-10419578\" alt=\"Shop the Official Biggest Loser Store\" width=\"468\" height=\"60\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>DietsInReview.com is your Biggest Loser 9 resource. <strong>Sign-up now for the <a title=\"biggest loser newsletter\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dietsinreview.com\/newsletters\/subscribe\/\" target=\"_self\">Biggest Loser Newsletter<\/a><\/strong> and each Wednesday you\u2019ll get the most up to date information on contestants and trainers, plus Biggest Loser recipes, interviews, giveaways and more!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>UPDATE: Koli Wins Biggest Loser At Home Prize Keep up with Koli Palu&#8217;s journey in Biggest Loser season nine.
