Mrs Obama, who made her debut on the NBC program last year, will encourage contestants and viewers to drink more water as part of her collaboration with Partnership for a Healthier America.
The segment featuring the first lady was not taped at the White House. It will air sometime in November.

Brita, the German manufacturer of water filters, is one of the sponsors on The Biggest Loser, and the company also has backed Mrs Obama's ‘Drink Up’ campaign, according to The Washington Times.
'I’ve come to realize that if we were going to take just one step to make ourselves and our families healthier, probably the single best thing we could do is to simply drink more water,' Mrs Obama said in September. 'Drink just one more glass of water a day and you can make a real difference for your health, your energy, and the way you feel.'

The first lady's latest anti-obesity program has come under criticism from activists, who argued that Mrs Obama should have promoted specifically drinking free tap water over bottle water, or phrased her message as 'drink less soda.'
Members of the scientific community also weighed in, suggesting that Mrs Obama did not have enough hard data to back up her claim that drinking more water helps combat obesity, according to Forbes.
Michelle Obama, 49, appeared on the show last April, taking part in an intense workout session at the White House alongside Biggest Loser participants to tout her Let's Move! Initiative battling obesity in children.

As one of the nation's top healthy lifestyle advocates, the toned first lady proved her mettle, performing multiple sets of jumping jacks, burpees, push-ups and sit-ups with ease.
At one point, the show's trainer was even compelled to exclaim, 'look how strong that woman is!'
The 15th season of The Biggest Loser premieres tonight at 8pm ET. The Hollywood Reporter said that this latest installment of the show will feature celebrity contestant Ruben Studdard, who won the second season of American Idol.
