When the 6th season of The Biggest Loser got underway on Monday night, the families were split between husbands, wives and children, with Bob heading up the parents and Jillian leading the kids on a charge to weight loss. When it was all said and done after the first episode, Washington, DC couple Adam and Stacey found themselves on the outside looking in when they became the first family to be eliminated from The Biggest Loser: Families. Although Adam stripped away double-digit pounds, Stacey could only muster nine pounds despite putting in her best effort, which wasn't enough to keep them going into the next episode.

The day after their elimination, we caught up to Adam and Stacey on a conference call to find out what they learned from their experience, how it felt to lose the weight, and what it was like to not only battle the pounds, but also fight off the 100 degree heat.

THE DEADBOLT: Adam, after losing so much weight, what did you notice about the changes in your body?

ADAM CAPERS: You know, even when I was thinner, I guess in my teenage years and younger adulthood, I had fat, fatbacks. I guess we call them fatbacks, and since I’ve been on The Biggest Loser and really have been at home for the most part competing at home, it’s disappearing now. For me - I mean it’s just amazing because even when I considered myself as thin during those early years, I’ve always had them. I had a flat stomach, but...

STACEY CAPERS: He’s referring to "love handles", but they’re kind of on the side and to the back.

THE DEADBOLT: A lot of guys have that problem.

ADAM: Yeah. So they’re disappearing now and it’s from the activities that we’re doing. It’s not necessarily the running, it’s the crossovers and some of the sit-ups and those types of things that are aiding me in my effort to get rid of those. But that’s I think the most noticeable change.

THE DEADBOLT: Stacey, what did you learn about yourself after going into the show? What did you discover?

STACEY: That real weight loss is attainable. I’ve struggled with my weight my entire life. When I was eleven years old, I think I weighed like 142 lbs. I was always the friendly girl, the nice girl, the girl with the pretty hair, but I was never the thin girl. You know, pretty athletic in high school but I carried the weight very well. As I got older and went to college, and having children obviously that does a whole lot of stuff to your body.

And as many diets as I tried and as athletic as I am, or at least I was, I was never really able to get meaningful, sustainable weight loss. After having children time to put into the gym to get an effective workout just wasn’t there or at least I made the excuse that I didn’t have the time to do it. But now I’m pretty amazed at my transformation and what I’ve been able to accomplish. It was the one thing I was worried about going into that weigh-in, was, "I don’t know if I’ve lost enough weight." So it’s always been, "It’s never enough, it’s not good enough."

THE DEADBOLT: What was going through your minds when it was so hot on the mountain before the plane dropped the banners? Off camera were there any concerns about the heat?

ADAM: To be honest with you, I wanted to quit. [laughs] It was just so hot. And it wasn’t just the heat, it was just the terrain. You know, they had you in freaky bushes all over the place. When we were going up, I had no way of passing the people in front of me. So that’s why I fell behind the pack because there wasn’t a clearing that allowed me to go around people. And I was a little winded initially and I caught my second wind when I saw that opening, I took it. But it was really the terrain. There were rattlesnakes out there. You could hear them and it was crazy. It was just the heat and - I’m telling you, man, I really felt like quitting. But I couldn’t quit, so I went and pushed on.

STACEY: There were plenty of medics on staff and I think there were some ambulances just in case people were really really bad off. [laughs] So we weren’t concerned in that regard of our safety and well being for the heat, it was just hot. It was hard.

THE DEADBOLT: How surprised were you guys when the doctor revealed the biological age of your organs?

STACEY: That didn’t air for us, so I actually don’t remember what Adam’s biological age was.

ADAM: But the doctor did indicate that I had high blood pressure and that was a bit of a surprise for me. I was fairly healthy. I think it was just the blood pressure. And with the blood pressure, you know, [could] be followed by hypertension. And especially with me being an African American male, it does have a tendency to shorten the lifespan of an African American male, starting with high blood pressure then hypertension.

Other Conference Call Highlights:

Stacey on whether she thinks they have what it takes to go the distance:

"Absolutely. We are super competitive and we’re so thrilled from getting voted off first. So we have a lot to prove; prove them right. And we’re sticking with it and nothing’s going to stop us."

Adam and Stacey on the target weight they would like to ultimately achieve:

ADAM: Well, for myself I would like to get down to at least 220, but 230 I’ll be happy.

STACEY: For me, I don’t know yet. I’ve never been this small in my life, so all I can do is push through and see where I get before I start looking real crazy.
