I was watching last night and some of those huge men don't weigh as much as me and I don't think I'm bigger than they are. Do you think those weights are right? Ye gads maybe I'm bigger than I think. I looked at by before pictures, front, side and back and I still don't think I'm bigger and I'm only 5'2". I was glad to see the b--ch in pink leave but felt a little sorry for her daughter. Sorry I had to miss Idol to watch it but to lazy to tape it and don't have a tivo. :biggrin:

Boy i gotta say that show does the same thing to me! I see those women on there that weigh more then me but yet i look at myself and say SOMETINGS wrong here i dont weight that much but i look bigger i feel!

Not loving this season - how about you guys?

I'm with you, Karen. I'm not loving this season either. I'm just not as inspired by the teams. Maybe it's because my inspiration is coming from myself and my decision to have the band!! How many hours do you think they work out while they're at "the ranch"? I would venture to say between 6-8 hours a day? YIKES!!

I don't like the show this season either, and I look at what they weigh and I am like what???

I happen to like that the pink mother was trying so hard, she is over 50 and was doing the workouts. I can't stand the orange mother and son combo.

I have been watching also. I am 5'9" and 260. I asked my wife last night if I look like that guy with the big man boobs -black team- he weighed about 260 and she said yes, without the boobs!!!! I don't see myself that way/BIG. SCARY

I'm a fan, but for some reason, I'm not into it this time around.. go figure.

Last season I spent a lot of time comparing the before and after weights that are like mine. I know everyone looks different, but it was nice to see on screen how different 292 is compared to 209, b/c to me it sometimes seems the same.

How many hours do you think they work out while they're at "the ranch"? I would venture to say between 6-8 hours a day? YIKES!!

I have a bodybugg which they use on the show and APEX (maker of the band) said that the Biggest Loser contestants work out an average of 3 hours a day. Which they would know bc you have to upload your bodybugg everyday.

The show might get more interesting now since they are playing as singles. I have always been a big fan and even went to the NBC/MSN biggest loser tour for the million pound match up. It was fantastic to meet players from season 4!

How funny, I love the orange team!! The ones I don't like are the yellow, that guy is really starting to creep me out how strong he's coming onto her and then to say he has a girlfriend at home... ewwwww.

3 hours a day isn't as bad, I was sure it was about 9!!!

I watched the Biggest Loser UK yesteday on the Fox Reality Channel, it was an all day marathon, no food commercials during the show LOL. But I liked their format better. Consise one hour shows, with fewer commercials.

I hate the commercials IN the show. Chew this gum, eat this oatmeal, omg brita, etc. Totally annoying. I also hate when they recap after each commercial. FFS I just saw this 2 minutes ago, I haven't forgotten.

Would make me happy if they'd make the show 1 hour and cut out all that stupid crap!

Angie, I so agree with you! After every commercial they recap what we just saw,what, do they think we all suffer from short term memory loss or something? And the in-show ads are getting annoying too. But, I am still addicted.

I also agree about the yellow team. They are divorced, apparently both have new significant others, but are doing this together and sharing a room. If I was the SO, I would be pissed. Especially with the way he is always hanging on her. And, apparently this week he is going to confess how much he still really cares for her. That should be interesting.

I met with some of the cast from season 4 yesterday and they agreed that the ad placement was awkward and cheesy! We were all making fun of it, "you know what I do when I get a hungry? I chew a piece of wrigley's gum" and "you want to know a quick way to make oatmeal? Try....." It was really funny.

Also, although Allison is mildly less annoying this season than last, I still don't like her. Why does she close her eyes when she talks to people?

Can we get Jeff Probst please?

I watched it Last night and NOWAY are their weights accurate-not unles fat weighs a lot Less in California!!

They are HUGE.I was 220# and a size 20...5'4".

220 on there has to be at least a size 50.!

and don t tell me the camera adds that much weight.

I am a size 16 and 183# now...headed for my size 12 and comfort of being me again.

Good luck to all of you and great going.
