Sam Poueu proposed to Stephanie Anderson while filming an upcoming special at The Biggest Loser ranch on Monday, Us Weekly reported Wednesday.
Poueu and Anderson met while competing on last spring's ninth edition of the NBC reality weight-loss competition.
Poueu, a 24-year-old from Rohnert Park, CA who competed on The Biggest Loser with his cousin Koli Palu, finished as the season's fifth runner-up. After beginning the competition at 372 pounds, he shed 142 and weighed-in at 230 pounds during the season's finale weigh-in in May.
Anderson, a 39-year-old radio sales executive from West Hollywood, CA, competed on The Biggest Loser with her mother Patti Anderson and was eliminated during the ninth season's eleventh week. She began the show at 264 pounds and weighed-in at 165 pounds at the finale.

Fellow contestant Sherry Johnston had revealed Poueu and Anderson were dating after NBC's broadcast of her own The Biggest Loser elimination aired in March.
Poueu and Anderson's wedding won't be the first marriage to result from The Biggest Loser. Second-season The Biggest Loser contestants Matt Hoover and Suzy Preston married in 2006 and were followed by third-season contestants Marty Wolff and Amy Hildreth in 2008.
In addition, eighth-season The Biggest Loser contestants Antoine Dove and Alexandra White also got engaged during last December's live season finale.
Earlier this week, Johnston's daughter Ashley Johnston -- who finished as the ninth season's runner-up -- also revealed that she is currently dating Palu.
