Helen Phillips, a 48-year-old mother of two, won Season 7 of The Biggest Loser.

Helen dropped an amazing 140 pounds to win the competition. Her final weight was 117 lbs.

Helen was on Jillian Michaels’ Team Pink, and for the third year in a row someone from the pink team has won the competition.

She says she feels like a new person since losing more than half her weight. “I feel like I can do anything,” she said at the show’s finale.

Jillian was beaming for Helen and is thrilled that the mother from Michigan beat out all the other players. “I always want the underdog to triumph. Helen is 48, she was the smallest contestant, she was absolutely an afterthought and she ended up beating everyone’s percentages. But I’m willing to let a man win next year!”

After all the hard work and excitement, Helen says she is just ready to take her hubby on vacation. “I really, really, really want to take my husband [Russell] to the Bellagio in Las Vegas! I really want to take him there for a nice break because he has been such a support system to me. I want to lay by the pool, go out to lunch, and be able to go work out in the middle of the day and have a nice salad somewhere and relax!”
