When Roberto Hernandez took home the Season 17 "Biggest Loser" prize Monday night, he thought everybody would be thrilled.

And they were, for the most part. The exception? His son.

"My little boy Jacob told my wife that he misses the 'fat daddy' because I would play with him a lot," Hernandez revealed during a visit to the TODAY plaza Tuesday. "But that's changing. I'm only going to be working out once a day now, instead of the four times."
