He\u2019s on a journey to become a better father and husband than his was, a man who suffered from alcoholism. Aaron played college football for Edinboro University, where he continued to exceed everyone\u2019s expectations; he is currently studying visual communications at Kent State University to complete his degree. Aaron is realizing that he doesn&#8217;t know how to deal with emotional issues that led to his weight gain. Similarly to his father, he&#8217;s battling addiction, but with food instead of alcohol. Gasping for air one night in his sleep, a result of his sleep apnea, he realized it was time to make changes to better his life. With a wife and young 3-year-old son, he&#8217;s ready to become a better role model, and better spouse, and is looking forward to visiting an amusement park and the beach with his family.<\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dietsinreview.com\/slideshows\/aaron-thompkins-biggest-loser-10-journey\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dietsinreview.com\/media\/slideshow_images\/aaron-thompkins-biggest-loser-10-journey\/aaron-BL10.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"View Aaron Thompkins' Biggest Loser 10 Journey  Slideshow\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p><strong>Other Spellings<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Aron, Arron, Erin, Tompkins, Thomkins, Thompkin<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.jdoqocy.com\/click-1825067-10419578?sid=BL10Bio\" target=\"_blank\"><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ftjcfx.com\/image-1825067-10419578\" border=\"0\" alt=\"Shop the Official Biggest Loser Store\" width=\"468\" height=\"60\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>DietsInReview.com is your Biggest Loser 10 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>, sponsored by the Biggest Loser Resort, and each Wednesday you\u2019ll get the most current information on contestants and trainers, plus Biggest Loser recipes, interviews, giveaways, video recaps with Biggest Loser 8&#8217;s Shay Sorrells, and much more!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Biggest Loser Finale Interview Keep up with Aaron Thompkin&#8217;s journey during Biggest Loser season ten.
