Anybody watching Biggest Loser tonight?



Recommended Posts

I agree Tiffy, my first impression of this season, after seeing that the contestants were even BIGGER...AGAIN... and seeing how they made them weigh in front of their families and hometowns...that just didn't sit well with me at all. I mean, how humiliating, and all for the sake of entertainment. I've always loved the basic idea of the show and how it does educate and inspire people but damn... treat them like human beings instead of circus animals.

btw, my surgeon has done the VSG on a former B.L. contestant who gained all the weight back, plus some (privacy laws keep him from telling which one!).

I don't watch tv at all ( i knowi know i'm a freak from another world but i like movies!) but i have seen the show like two years ago and i always did wonder how come the don't have loose skin???? it seems so unrealstic to me? can some shade some light on that?

Hey Nikki,, that is my BIG question...not of them have loose skin, even the older lady that won last year. What's up with that? Do they have Tummy Tucks before the winners are choosen? I agree with some of the ladies about unrealistic. For a short while they are in a very upbeat invironment that is dead set on them loosing weight, in most cases, they are succesfull. But after the show...the old way of life creeps back in. The trainners are gone, and you not in the lime light anymore. This is the best tool ever. I was hope for the loose skin to disapear if I really worked hard at it...but looks like that's something else I'll have to fix....sigh. Oh well...it's better than where I was 2.5 months ago. I wouldn't change it.

I don't watch TV Much either NIkki, you know why? Because there's nothing but TRASH on TV anymore. Everything is about image and money. And who had what, and who's doing who. I hate reality shows, police show, homicide shows, real video shows and all that trash...it's not worth watching. I like National Geographics, the Discovery Channel, show's that make me go..ahhhhh..that's cool. Or shows that make me laugh or feel good. I do like American Idiol...because it's inspiring that anybody could win it. I hate Biggest looser, because the explote fat people. Nobodies perfect. But the world of man only accepts perfect people. Good thing GOD accepts me like I am. SO he's the only ONE, I care to please. No other oppinion really matters, if you think about it. Ok I'm done with my rant.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
