However, I have NO desire whatsoever to lose it the way that they do. It's not healthy and it's not easily sustainable! However it does remind me that it CAN be done....and if they can do it..then I can (just at a slower pace)MaryFranhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02507347923712459651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5590003896764652039.post-12561918633947134782009-01-07T23:42:00.000-05:002009-01-07T23:42:00.000-05:00I admit, I have never seen the biggest loser.I admit, I have never seen the biggest loser.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5590003896764652039.post-84818409720631364192009-01-07T22:16:00.000-05:002009-01-07T22:16:00.000-05:00Congrats on the loss.

It has to be at the very top. However, like Cara commented, we can learn somethings for watching the show. The biggest thing I've learned it the food really is not the issue and until we deal with what is really keeping us fat we will stay fat. <BR/><BR/>Honestly though when the old guy fainted, I heart skipped a beat. Not for him (I know I'm terrible) but for his wife!! They just left her there (at the ranch) and took him to the hospital. They have been married for over 40 years and she just lets them take her husband away without her. That was disturbing to me but I suppose it really isn't any of my concern. <BR/><BR/>Sorry, I'm going on and on. BTW I'm proud of you keeping up the exerciseJChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09958762456460566151noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5590003896764652039.post-85113210188103393262009-01-07T21:34:00.000-05:002009-01-07T21:34:00.000-05:00Congrats on the loss!

That must be quite a shock to realize that they have to try to squeeze working out in sometime during a regular day of life.Nataliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14999334781498930101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5590003896764652039.post-9546788539876863782009-01-07T18:54:00.000-05:002009-01-07T18:54:00.000-05:00I just wish they would do a show with all the part...I just wish they would do a show with all the part participants so we could see if they have in fact learned anything!Fatinahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12070940470440385585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5590003896764652039.post-92210667427325014852009-01-07T15:09:00.000-05:002009-01-07T15:09:00.000-05:00Keep it up girl.

You are doing so great and all the exercise......you go girl!<BR/>watched most of the biggest loser shows and even though their weight loss is unreal, I still watch it to try and get some inspiration. The exercising is intense, but i also like to find out their "reasons" for gaining weight. Even if I only get a little out of the show, it is worth it.Donna Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02073595593219354611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5590003896764652039.post-807478867391494902009-01-07T13:27:00.000-05:002009-01-07T13:27:00.000-05:00OMG the new season of BL is on already?

These people aren't in it to stay skinny for life. They're in it to lose weight the fastest. That's why so many of them balloon right back up after they're off the show.<BR/><BR/>The season one winner was so crafty and underhanded in the way he "played the game" of losing weight on the show, that as soon as the show was over, within a year, he was right back up to his original starting weight.<BR/><BR/>So for the people on the show, no, it's not going to help them. But along the way, they learn valuable information that they can take with them to change their life for good after they leave. It just depends on their motivation while their on the show.<BR/><BR/>What we, as American viewers of the show, will hopefully take away from the show is that "we can do it". We get inspired by their loss. We hear their horrible stories of how they were abused or oppressed or teased as "fatties" and we draw on their strength and determination to help us to overcome our own obstacles.<BR/><BR/>At least that's what I take away from the show. This show has inspired me to keep losing weight about as much as my blog has inspired me. If they can do it, I can to. And I will. <BR/><BR/>I absolutely love that show!--carahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15805561962175920077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5590003896764652039.post-65510401846287273952009-01-07T11:57:00.000-05:002009-01-07T11:57:00.000-05:00Awesome!

I agree about the fast wt loss. They work out so many hours a day which is not possible in the "real world." That alone makes it seem like they won't be able to sustain the loss.<BR/><BR/>I will probably keep up with the show only because it keeps me motivated. :)Shrink to Fithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16451314251973264944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5590003896764652039.post-34605679302600320792009-01-07T11:39:00.000-05:002009-01-07T11:39:00.000-05:00Way to go on the loss.

They will not have Bob and Jillian training with them when they get home. I woke up to about 3 inches of snow on the ground this morning. Have a wonderful Wednesday.Dutchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18387959469660830830noreply@blogger.com
