I find myself switching who I'm cheering for - I'd like to see most of them do much better. Gives me hope. Really wish I could afford a Jillian clone to train me LOL

Cross the line, leave the game and get $25,000 in your pocket.

To those questioning, yes, the Detroit area is a pit and house prices are crazy low. Here's a listing for 4500, and it's in no way the cheapest house listed.

Our really good friend lives just outside Detroit and just got laid off again, for the 3rd time in 8 years. He's coming to Texas next week for a job interview. He has two mortgages (the one he lives in and the one he has to rent out). His houses are worth more than $5K, but he can't get rid of them. If the job offer is good, we're hoping he will live with us for a while and get everything straightened out. It's bad in Detroit, really bad.

I taped TBL and finally got to watch it tonight. If I were in her shoes I would have taken the money and gotten the band! :( That money might have made the difference in her life. I feel so bad for the orange guys. I know how horrible they feel and how hard it is to kick the habit of eating so bad. What was his family thinking, going to a place where all he could get was hot dogs and fries?!! I just hope Dan does well. He's so young and he needs to be there.

Off Topic Alert: Things seem to be getting pretty bad all over. I hate it when the evening news feels compelled to list all the companies laying off thousands of employees across the country. How is that helpful? It only makes people panic even more.

I am watching TBL now. I see a lot of Comments for Dan. The Orange team are actually members of the same car club that i belong. I am not just rooting for Orange because I know them, but that I believe they really need the support being that young et al.

I agree. WTF is with that?

I wonder if the promo guys are screwing with our heads on the upcoming "very special edition" next week?

Dang it, they were doing the promo for what happens next week and my DVR cut it off!!! It appears the the two biggest and youngest guys are below the yellow line? I would hate to have to choose.

thats what it appears to be but who knows??

i hope not... but i have to say that i'd probably send the brown shirt guy (not sure of names yet) home ... the other, IMO, needs it more...

but yeah, tough choice!

Where was Dan during the temptation...does anyone know?

I feel so bad for him...he really doesn't have the support at home. He needs it there.

I agree that the silver team is annoying...I don't like either of them, but I like the one at home a lot better than Joelle. What was up with the black team not voting her off??? I thought no one liked her?

Makes you wonder if the producers of the show "influence" the votes. Joelle is the one everyone loves to hate and she puts out a lot of drama whereas the engaged couple were nice and sweet, but not much drama. The show is about ratings after all.

Do you support those that need it or those that earned it? Keeping someone there because they need it and making someone who earned it leave doesn't seem very fair to me.

Was wondering the same thing last night. I can see where Jillians team would want to keep Joelle around to create chaos amongst Bob's team.

All I know is, so much for no drama this season. Bob's team is going to be out for blood. They are going to feel betrayed by Jillians team after they asked Bobs team who they wanted voted out.

I don't think I can take Joelle another week! Darn them for not voting her off!

I wondered if she wanted to give up/go home. It seemed to me like she was expecting to be kicked off.

As for keeping the silver team alive. It might be some tactics here. Why not keep the silver team around another week. I think keeping the weakest team in is not bad idea. Joelle not having her heart in might by some time for the others.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
