And while he doesn&#8217;t recall many trips to McDonald&#8217;s, he says his collection of Happy Meal toys is proof of the frequent fast food meals. Admitting he&#8217;s never known what healthy eating is, he says he doesn&#8217;t even know where he&#8217;d begin. He was a heavy kid in high school, and although he lettered in football and weightlifting, he was still picked on, and earned the nickname &#8220;Pumbaa,&#8221; which he has maintained to this day. He calls his high school years the worst of his life; but things wouldn&#8217;t become easier college where he quickly gained 50 pounds his freshman year due to his discovery of beer. Today, Jesse works as a law clerk. This job is not impacted by his weight, but he knows the future of his career is. People consider him to be lazy, unproductive and assume he&#8217;s incapable of doing an efficient job. Jesse is ready to end a life of torment and judgment, he just needs help finding where to start.<\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dietsinreview.com\/slideshows\/jesse-atkins-biggest-loser-10-journey\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dietsinreview.com\/media\/slideshow_images\/jesse-atkins-biggest-loser-10-journey\/Jesse-Atkins-Biggest-Loser-10-Journey.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"View Jesse Atkins' Biggest Loser 10 Journey  Slideshow\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p><strong>Other Spellings<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Jessy, Jessie, Jessey, Akins, Atkens<\/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 Jesse Atkins&#8217; journey during Biggest Loser season ten.
