Shay Jones<\/a> from Season 8 weighed in to see how much weight she last lost since last season’s finale. Subway promised to reward Shay with $1,000 for each pound she lost. After weighing in, Shay lost 52 pounds. Jared from Subway<\/a>\u00a0then surprised Shay and offered her one last challenge:\u00a0To complete a\u00a026.2 mile marathon with him by the end of the year and Subway will double her prize money to $104,000.<\/p>\n

Daris then returned on stage to wait with Ashley and Michael as they revealed their new figures and weights. After each gave a mind-blowing wow to all those watching, they each weighed-in. Ashley weighed in and lost 183 pounds, leaving her at a final weight of 191 pounds. This knocked Daris into third place. Michael then weighed in with an epic weight loss of\u00a0more than\u00a050 percent\u00a0of his weight, and an ending weight of 262 pounds crowning him as season 9’s Biggest Loser.<\/p>\n
