Biggest Loser



Recommended Posts

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:

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

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.

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?

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
