OMG - I've never heard of such a thing!! That story was awful - I can't even imagine how the family must feel.

Do you think he could do it safely by adding salt or whatever to keep his levels normal?

I think it is inexcusable that the DJ's knew it could harm the contestants, yet continued to proceed with the contest. I think each one involved with putting together that contest should personally be held responsible.

It is possible that salt could balance out all the Water, but I'm not sure.

Neil was probably dehydrated before hand so I don't think he would of had to worry about that. I wonder how much Water weight they loose in a day. I know I can be 3- 5 lbs lighter just working out for 2 hours.

His bladder must have been ready to explode.

That explains a lot. I knew they had to exercise for hours to lose so much in a week. I think I am doing so well if I do an hour of cardio.

One of these weekends, I am going to try to do more than an hour. I am so bored on the weekends, it's easy for me to want to stay at the gym. Maybe if I ever get down to goal, I will feel more confident and actually have a date on a weekend.

Neil isn't the first contestant to waterload. I think Erik(the winner) from season 4 did it to force his duo partner to use her free pass that would protect her form elimination. He gained weight, thereby pushing them under the yellow line and forcing her to use it to save themselves. Everyone on the show hated that free pass that she had and he played the game well to get rid of it. The only difference was that he waterloaded 3lbs, not 17lbs! It will be interesting to see what Neil does next.

I hated to see Bryant leave, I wonder what will happen now to Kim? She keeps talking about "Bryant is her last chance", "if he goes, I go". I'm curious to see what happens now.

Who do you think is gonna win?

"B" looked good when they showed him at the end of the show.

I don't know who's going to win. And I tell you even though I realize it is all just a game I just hope that it isn't Neil. I'd love to see one of the girls win.

I agree, I would love to see a girl win it this year.

Did anyone catch the Biggest Loser finale last night. OMG, they all looked fantastic. Nicole looked absolutely stunning, and the blonde (the mom, can't remember her name) she looked fantastic, what beauties. I wasn't surprised who the winner was. Boy did those twin brother's look hot. So toned and healthy. They both walked away with new a new lease on life and a pocket full of money.. Man that kind of money would come in handy now.

I am so impressed by all of them.. My little Kae looked beautiful as well. I need to get in touch with my personal trainer, I'm inspired, I look fine now, but I want to get toned.. I want muscles.. Look out here I come.

If watching the Biggest Loser doesn't motivate us to exercise, what will? I know I'm ready to head back to the gym. I thought they all looked so good! I really thought Holly was beautiful, she looked like Demi Moore almost.

Anyhow, I love that show and have watched it every since it first aired. Each year I am so amazed at the transformations, it just proves that no matter how big you are, you can change, you can get healthy. It always inspires me to get back to the gym!

Okay, that is who I meant Holly, not Nicole. Who is Nicole??

Yes, Julie looked amazing.. Yep, I'm hitting the gym. I'm at 137 right now, and look okay, but a little tweeking wouldn't hurt me.

The four finalst were - Bill - of course, Hollie - the brunette, Isabeau - the youngest blonde, and Julie, the mother - man she was skinny!

Nicole was one that was voted off, she was on the red team, I think she was a radio DJ.

Can you tell I'm obsesses with the show? lol.

Mariposa - I just noticed your tag line says you were banded in 2004 and had a port revision in 2005. How has it been now that you've gone what 3+ years? Are you at your goal?

I thought the big guys would win it all along - knew Neil was a likely winner but wasnt' surprised by the Twin brothers winning both the $100K and the $250K top prize.

The only thing that bothered me this season was the Product Placements...ie. advertising... stop it please! That's what commercials are for. I hate that they keep renaming all the football Bowl games with big commercial product names too.

Like it that they keep the Rose Bowl as just that .. The Rose Bowl!

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
