"The Biggest Loser" winner shed 129 pounds

(CBS) Who won "The Biggest Loser" this season? One thing is for sure, it was a woman. An all-female group of three went into Tuesday night's finale on NBC (Spoiler alert).

New York opera singer Olivia Ward emerged as the winner, losing 129 pounds over the course of eight months.

The 35-year-old winner beat out her sister Hannah Curlee and full-time student Irene Alvarado for the Season 11 title. Curlee and Alvarado lost 120 and 116, pounds respectively.

Ward and Curlee became breakout stars in the competition for the $250,000 prize with their run in New Zealand.

Tuesday's show marks the end for trainer Jillian Michaels, who said she was looking forward to taking her work "to the next level." She is being replaced next season by tennis player Anna Kournikova.
