Neil Tejwani, who lost hundreds of pounds on NBC's The Biggest Loser, will be speaking at Old Town Hall in Salem tonight - Wednesday, January 14th at 7:00 PM.

Neil Tejwani appeared as a contestant in the fourth season of the NBC reality television series The Biggest Loser. He is 25 years old and hails from Marblehead, MA. Upon earning his

degree and graduating from Northeastern University in Boston, he pursued a career as a chemical engineer. He has been described as eloquently clear with his words, as well as possessing a practical set of worldly smarts and a down-to-earth, straightforwardly honest manner.
