I love little Kay, man she is kicking some butt on the show. I am so glad that girl got the boot yesterday. I wish I could have Jilliam all to my self, man she could whip my saggy butt into shape.

Man...I am addicted. I love the show. I am glad that Amy was sent home. I think it was rude that she switched from the Red Team to the Black Team. She deserved to go home. Although...I think that it's great that she has lost 100 pounds. She really looks good now. My favorite is Kay. She is kicking some mean weight loss butt. She is so determined and such an inspiration. Now, granted...I know that the show is nowhere near realistic. I mean really...who has their food set out for them and who gets to work out EVERY day all day long? The common folk must go to work and live in the real world.

I am sooooooooooo glad ungrateful Amy went. Happy for her weight loss but I couldn't take the complaining and poor me attitude anymore. I am rooting for Neil and Kay.

I'm with you guys on Amy being sent home. What a whiner. I couldn't take much more of her. I like Kay because she's determined! I like her attitude and determination.

Second fav is Hollie...

I love the Biggest Loser. This is the first season I have watched it all the way through. Now I would like to get the other seasons.

I was glad Amy got sent home too. She didn't deserve to stay, but I am still glad she did well when she got home.

I love that show, I'm definitely addicted. Kae is kicking butt on the scales. She is the only one so far that has withdrew from every food related temptation and that inspires me. I really liked the ex-football player that got sent home. You are all right, Amy deserved to go home. It was like a slap in the face to the red team when she switched to black and then tried to give her shirt back to them. How rude

I just caught the last episode of this one but I LOVE the biggest loser! I like the off season shows as well, they are a little shorter.

Can you really rent the previous seasons? I would so love to see them. The inspiration is just amazing!

I love biggest loser. I hope Neil doesn't win after that stunt he pulled. I'm glad to see Amy go. I was sick of watching her every week.

I also love Biggest Loser! I Tivo and watch it later so I don't have to watch the 30 minutes of commericals from a 2hr episode. I didn't follow the other seasons but a few weeks ago Style channel or Bravo showed almost the entire last season and the season before that, so I recorded all of them and watched them!

It is amazing what they accomplish on the show and the changes they make in their lives and lifestyles. I always find myself crying at some point in every episode, whether it's when one of them wins a tough challenge or when they meet a certain weight loss goal.

I look forward to watching it every week! It gives me motivation for the week to keep doing what I'm doing and to know that I can reach my goals as long as I persevere.

What do they do, exercise all day and all night? I just don't get how they can pull such big numbers week after week. I want in on that!

I also wonder how much they exercise. They have the "last chance workout", which I guess is the day before the weigh in. And challenge day I gather they reserve a lot of their energy for the challenges, which are workouts in themselves. (like this week's was with the 24km triathlon). I'm guessing they have 2-3 more big workout days.

What else do they do besides exercise? They never show anything else. And if they do, it's usually them sitting around eating a product placement food such as, oh I don't know...Quaker Weight Control oatmeal, Jenny-O turkey, Nabisco 100 calorie packs, Extra Gum, and Subway (did I miss any?) What do they do when they aren't exercising or plugging a product? They must go out once and a while like to go shopping because they obviously have clothes that fit them properly because they are all dolled up for the elimination room. But it seems like they would have a lot of free time, unless they do exercise 6hrs a day everyday.

Another Biggest Loser fan here! I totally agree about Amy's actions toward the red team being a slap in the face! Then to call out Isabeau in the elimination room for not being loyal. I couldn't believe it! Amy is the one who wasn't loyal.

I always hate when anyone has to go home because I know that desire to lose weight and I want them to all reach their goals however, someone has to go. I would much rather someone get to stay that truly wants to be there. I was sick thinking that B might have to go home because you can tell he wants to be there and change his life.

I do have a question that maybe one of you can answer for me. An unimportant thing and probably stupid but I am going to ask anyway. Kim made a comment about how she needed B as much as he needed her. How so? Is it a paycheck thing? Or just that she won't be on the show this season anymore? I don't get it.

      So I guess after gastric bypass surgery, I cant eat flock chips because they are fried???  They sell them on here so I thought I could have them. So high in protein and no carbs.  They don't bother me at all.  Help.

        It's possible for a very high fat meal to cause dumping in some (30% or so) gastric bypass patients, although it's more likely to be triggered by high sugar, or by the high fat/high sugar combo (think ice cream, donuts). Dietitians will tell you to never do anything that isn't 100% healthy ever again. Realistically, you should aim for a good balance of protein, carbs, and fat each day. Should you eat fried foods every day? No. Is it possible they will make you sick? Maybe. Is it okay to eat some to see what happens and have them for a treat every now and again? Yes.

      I'm not at all hungry on this liquid pre-op diet, but I miss the sensation of chewing. It's been about two weeks––surgery is in two days––and I can't imagine how I'll feel a couple of weeks post-op. Tonight, I randomly stumbled upon a mukbang channel on YouTube, and it was strangely soothing... is it just me, or is this a thing?

        I actually watched cooking shows during my pre-op, like Great British Baking Show. It was a little bizarre, but didn't make me hungry. I think it was also soothing in a way.

      How do you figure out what your ideal weight should be? I've had a figure in my head for years, but after 3 mths of recovery I'm already almost there. So maybe my goal should be lower?

        Well, there is actually a formula for "Ideal Body Weight" and you can use a calculator to figure it out for you. This one also does an adjusted weight for a person who starts out overweight or obese. https://www.mdcalc.com/calc/68/ideal-body-weight-adjusted-body-weight

        I would use that as a starting point, and then just see how you feel as you lose. How you look and feel is more important than a number.

      2. Clueless_girl

        I did find different calculators but I couldn't find any that accounted for body frame. But you're right, it is just a number. It was just disheartening to see that although I lost 60% of my excess weight, it's still not in the "normal/healthy" range..

      3. NickelChip

        I think it's important to remember that the weight charts and BMI ranges were developed a very long time ago and only intended to be applied to people who have never been overweight or obese. Those numbers aren't for us. When you are larger, especially for a long time, your body develops extra bone to support the weight. Your organs get a little bigger to handle the extra mass. Your entire infrastructure increases so you can support and function with the extra weight. That doesn't all go away just because you burn off the excess fat. If you still had a pair of jeans from your skinniest point in life and then lost weight to get to the exact number on the scale you were when those jeans fit you, chances are they would be a little baggy now because you would actually be thinner than you were, even though the scale and the BMI chart disagree. When in doubt, listen to the jeans, not the scale!

      Tomorrow marks two weeks since surgery day and while I'm feeling remarkably well and going about just about every normal activity, I did wind up with a surface abscess on on of my incision sights and was put on an antibiotic that made me so impacted that it took me more than two hours to eliminate yesterday and scared the hell out of me. Now there's Miralax in all my beverages that aren't Smooth Move tea. I cannot experience that again. I shouldn't have to take Ativan to go to the lady's. I really looking forward to my body getting with the program again. 
      I'm in day three of the "puree" stage of eating and despite the strange textures, all of the savory flavors seem decadent. 
      I timed this surgery so that I'd be recovering during my spring break. That was a good plan. Today is a state holiday and the final day of break. I feel really strong to return to school tomorrow.

      Now that I'm in maintenance mode, I'm getting a into a routine for my meals. Every day, I start out with 8-16 ounces of water, and then a proffee, which I have come to look forward to even the night before. My proffees are simply a black coffee with a protein powder added. There are three products that I cycle through: Premier Vanilla, Orgain Vanilla, and Dymatize Vanilla.
      For second breakfast on workdays, I will have a low-fat yogurt with two tablespoons of PBFit and two teaspoons of no sugar added dried cherries. I will have ingested 35-45 grams of protein at this point between the two breakfasts, with 250-285 calories, and about 20 carbs.
      For second breakfast on non-workdays, I will prepare two servings of plain, instant oatmeal with a tablespoon of an olive oil-based spread. This means I will have had 34 grams of protein, 365 calories, and 38 carbs. Non-workdays are when I am being very active with training sessions, so I allow myself more carbohydrate fuel.
      Snacks on any day are always mixed nuts, even when I am travelling. I will have 0.2 cups of a blend that I make myself. It consists of dry roasted peanuts, cashews, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, pistachios, and Brazil nuts. This is 5 grams of protein, 163 calories, and 7 carbs.
      Breakfast and snacks have been the easiest to nail down. Lunch and dinner have more variables, and I prepare enough for leftovers. I concentrate on protein first, and then add vegetables. Typically tempeh, tofu, or Field Roast products with roasted or sautéed vegetables. Today, I will be eating leftovers from last night. Two ounces of tempeh with four ounces of roasted vegetables that consist of red and yellow sweet peppers, sweet potatoes, small purple potatoes, zucchini, and carrots. I will add a tablespoon of olive oil-based spread, break up 3 walnuts to sprinkle of top, and garnish with two tablespoons of grated Parmesan cheese. This particular meal will be 19 grams of protein, 377 calories, and 28 grams of carbs. Bear in mind that I do eat more carbs when I am not working, and I focus on ingesting healthy carbs instead of breads/crackers/chips/crisps.
      It's a helluva journey and I'm thankful to be on it!
