Well, this popular NBC show will be in Charlotte on Aug. 6 holding casting calls as part of a 13-city cross-country search to find new contestants.

Casting producers will be at the Planet Fitness at 10215-B University City Blvd. in Charlotte that Saturday from 10 a.m. - 6 p.m.

Individuals and teams of two, at least 18 years old, and who have at least 85 pounds to lose are encouraged to apply for the new season that will begin airing in January, 2012. You’ll be competing for a grand prize of $250,000.

The show provides the contestants with challenges, temptations, weigh-ins and eliminations until the final contestant remains to claim the title of "the biggest loser."  Season 12 will have contestants work out under the supervision of Bob Harper, Anna Kournikova and Dolvett Quince.

Good luck and make everyone in Charlotte and Auston Woods proud!
