Biggest Loser

i know ... ladies in the top 2! i cannot believe Ali weighs 145 pounds! she looks AMAZING! it concerns me if she is in the final 4 how much lower she can go. the less you weigh, the harder it is to come off.

**fingers crossed anyway**

I'm with ya! Ali does look great, but she kinda pissed me off too! She was more than happy to vote off Brittany and I think she was going to vote off Kelly until she saw what was happening (the guys being so mean). Ali really buddied up with the guys, but I wonder now if she came to her senses.

I don't understand why they all don't get the jist of the show. They need to be voting off the ones with the most potential to win, not the ones they just don't like. That is the only way a girl is going to win is if they ever smarten up and vote appropriately! ARGH!

I guess I'm the only one who liked Dan. I always took his "cockiness" kind of like he was joking, i.e. "I'm the smartest one in the house", etc. I figured he was being silly. Oh well. I really hate how the guys cry all the time and say "I love you, man". I'm waiting for them to start making out! I don't like Ali either. I guess I'm rooting for Kelly at this point. I'm hoping someone like Curtis comes back to win the at-home Biggest Loser to shock all those boys! It proves that you can do it at home without all that Weight Control oatmeal, Zip 'n Steam bags, 100 calorie packs and Extra gum!

And Orville Reddenbacher 100 Calorie Popcorn!

And don't forget your Brita!

Their product placement is driving me NUTS.

The product placements wouldn't bug me if the trade off was less commercials. Kind of like TV back in the 50's and before. But no such luck.

Good point. We are getting screwed. Not only are the commercials and product placements there, but they repeat everything you just saw before the commercial break! The show itself is short! They need to pick one or the other!

I'm sure you guys caught the "one a day multi vitamin" add a few weeks ago.. It was the lamest!! I laughed so hard.. What a joke! Bob went into Dans room to see his new outfit and conveniently asked if he was taking his one a day mens vitamin.. "Oh, look Dan, your Mom left her Womens one a day here.. Your mom, as a woman needs other vital nutrients to support her throughout her day. That's why Womens one a day is specially formulated with blah blah bla blah blah." haha..

I too am addicted to this show, but of late, I am thinking it is sooooo much scripted and rigged. Are you aware that the scales they get on at the end of the show are FAKE? not even scales. They all weight in separately with the producers earlier and they don't see or know the weight. What keeps the producers from setting up a GOOD ending???

I agree with the AD placements and in show commercials. I laughed the other night with the W.W. oatmeal. I hope they are getting paid for the commercials they do. Another thing, how can they be off work for 4-6 months at a time without getting paid? I know there is NO WAY I could do that and not be guaranteed to win the 250,000. I would love to know what is REALLY going on there! 6 hrs a day exercising?? Just 1 challege a week. Gee TAKE ME PLEASE...oh wait. I have the lapband and don't need it anymore :)

I'm soooo tired of them re-showing every thing and the stuck in fakey commercials. I think there probably isn't more than 20 min of actual new stuff. I think we should all write in to complain. I don;t have any idea to write though. I think next season I will not get started on it. It's too late for me this season. I'm hooked.

I just saw Tuesdays episode - Refuse to watch it in real time, because 50% of it is repeating itself....Drives my husband CRAZY.

I had liked Dan for a Long time, and was pulling for him - till he got a cocky wannabe rockstar attitude, BTW: I recall him saying that he wanted his haircut to look like Keith Urban...Keith Urban he is NOT!!

I'm rooting for Ali, but it's not likely she can go much further (I too think the boys vs girls is BS), my guess it will be Kelly & Roger. I'd like to pull for Kelly just to piss of the boys, but she was a bit whinny in the beginning.....

I know! I'm so sick of the cry-baby brothers! And, his wife said, "Mark squealed like a girl" after the make-over section.

LOL...bad when your wife disses you. I really want Ali now, or Kelly. NOT Roger!

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      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
