I agree with you all the way around Crystal. How can a lady win physical challenges against guys? And you took the words right outta my mouth about Alison's comment. My hat's off to Ali for doing so great losing weight, but of course she's gonna drop tons of weight coming back, because it's such a change in her routine.

This is my first season watching, but I've been told a girl has never won the show is that right? That should tell the producers something right there.

I'm so happy to learn there was no elimanation. I thought maybe alzheimers was setting in because I couldn't remember who got elimanated last night. I didn't have my mind on it 100% but I thought I should've remembered that!

LOL. I was about to have a stroke because I thought my DVR cut off early!

And those guys are so smug.. UGGG, it bugs me. I like Dan, but he can be a smart allick too sometimes and act like "of course we won, we are better" attitude. I wanna say, "no, of course you won, because you're a bunch of men"..

It is odd that BL hasn't adjusted this problem at all and this is what season?? Most shows will adjust for these types of issues.

I'd like to see them base it on the percentage of their Excess Weight Lost instead of just weight lost. That would go a long ways in evening the playing field. Ofcourse it also opens up the whole can of worms of how exactly do you determine what their excess weight is.

I was just saying the other day that they need to have either all women or all men, or AT LEAST start picking smaller men. It's not fair to have a guy with 250 lbs to lose against a woman with 80 lbs to lose. I mean, seriously.

Even if they went by the charts, it would still be fairer to do % of excess weight vs. absolute pounds lost.

Okay we got to see 2 players eliminated last night -- Maggie right up front and then at the end we saw Brittany get the boot. Everyone looked great with the makeover that Macy's and the runway guru Tim Gunn did with them. Jay and Mark sure are emotional at getting to see their wives. Mark was just home so how homesick can he be and they've had a few different things now where contestants got to go and do fun outings and see family. Dan looked great with his punky haircut.

Having watched Jillian's face last night during the weigh off at the end again, she was so bummed to see Brittany fall below the line with one of the Blue team guys because she was pretty sure they'd vote for Brittany and that's how it went down.

It does feel like they are extending the show or stretching things, they show the same clip, go to a commercial, then come back and show that same clip again before moving ahead. Really trying to fill the air time I guess.

I think I have said this before, but there is something so odd about Mark and Jay and all of their boohoo'n. Gimme a break Mark, you were just home!

I am sad to see Brittany go. She works her tail off and lately the scale sure has not been her friend. how dissapointing!! I know we most likely will not see one of the women win, but I get bummed when they get booted off anyway! How come Alli voted for Brittany?

Dan sure has become full of himself... kind of annoying. But he does look better with out the long hair I think.

Why am I so addicted to this silly show?!?!?!

Maybe Mark needs to be on medication. SHEESH! Was he gone a week from home? Bet when he sees these shows he just cringes.

I think Ali voted for Brittany because of everyone voting her and her mom off before. Though, I can't remember which members voted the pink team off....?

I love Ali, I love Brittany, too. Those are my two favorites. I hope Ali takes it (even though I think it's going to be a guy) and Brittany wins the 2nd prize.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
