Biggest Loser

[The Candidate 3,215]

I have to admit I will keep watching: Biggest Loser, 600 Pound Life, Big Fat Fabulous Life, all of them, because I don't ever want to forget what it feels like to be fat. The way you're treated and the stereotypes. It keeps it in perspective for me, how much I don't ever want to go back, and how easy it would be to do so.

When they cry I feel their sorrow because it was my own. I empathize with their desperation, because I was desperate too. I know how debilitating it was to lose, again and again, only to gain it back plus more. Once you lose the weight and you're suddenly treated better, the further you get out, the easier it might be to forget the way it was before.

I don't ever want to forget. I don't ever want to get complacent.

Do they continue to work with the contestants after they are off the show to help them try to successfully keep off that excess weight they lost and/or help them with a realistic diet and exercise plan that they can follow "back in the real world" or do they just forget about them once their usefulness is over?

Great post about " where are the former contestants"? There are A lot

Of them and they occasionally parade one through, but many obviously are not long term successful.

I guess that doesn't sell ads....or their camps etc. I watch it fast forward on my dvr... Like a train wreck, I should look away, ....but those shows help me remember how I felt often pre surgery.

The humiliating sports bra weigh ins are a bit much....i have also read that a week is simply not what they show it to be...10days....etc. for the results they want.

All that being said, the twin young men appear to be front runners with their youth and sense of competition.
