It seems like 'The Biggest Loser' could teach 'The Bachelor(ette)' a thing or two about finding real love on a TV show. Earlier this week recently eliminated contestant Ramon Medeiros told Wendy Williams that his time on the show was well spent. He lost a ton of weight, inspired his family to get fit with him and fell in love with fellow 'Loser' Jessica Limpert.Now, in a refreshing change from the big rings and flashy engagements of other reality TV stars, he's told 'People' magazine that the couple plan to wed, but not just yet.
"It is in the cards for Jess and I to get married," Medeiros said. "But it will be in the future. We're a new couple, and we're going to just get into the real world now. I want to take it a little slow. We're not going anywhere, so we're going to be together for a long, long time."
For her part, Limpert told Wendy Williams that she went on the show for the sake of her health, not her love life, but found a deep connection with Ramon. "I was able to connect with him on a different level ... We're not outside in the real world dating, where you're showing off your good parts ... we're showing our bellies, and our fat, and our depression," she said.
Medeiros -- who lost a whopping 87 lbs while on the 'Biggest Loser' Ranch -- says that he and Limpert were good friends before they became anything else. So, could the warts-and-all start to their relationship help the couple avoid the break-up curse afflicting the oft scantily clad alumni of the TV dating shows? (Yes, we mean you, Ali Fedotowsky, Jake Pavelka, Emily Maynard, Zora Andrich, Jason Mesnick, Andrew Firestone, the list seems endless ... )
Medeiros told 'People' that he's motivated to keep the weight off and hopes to qualify as a personal trainer. He says he's been sticking to a similar workout schedule as on the Ranch, running three to five miles a few days a week and lifting weights three days a week.
"I'm going four to six hours a day," he said. "It's less than on the Ranch, but it's what works in the real world." He's also watching what he eats: "It's about changing your quantity and doing everything in moderation."
'The Biggest Loser' airs Tuesdays, 8PM ET on NBC.
