yes - i have an addiction to the show & can't wait for the season premier tonight.

was at the gym this morning (24hr fitness) and they had new posters of michelle up - she LOOKS GREAT!!!

great time of yr for a new season...

I am not voting because I can't decide who I want to stay. My vindictive side says keep Ron because he wants his son there, but I want to kick his butt off.

Either way - I get a fill tomorrow! This should put me back where I was before my gallbladder surgery and on the road to happy band life again!

I didn't know Jillian had a book. That is worth looking for.

Watched the show with interest last night...I'm amazed that they all finished a marathon! I don't know if I'd be ready to do that...that was awesome!

Jillian is hot - no matter what her orientation. :wub: I'd love to have her arms. :wub::wub: Even my DH who usually says women her size "need a sandwich" doesn't have ANYTHING bad to say about Jillian...

Love Tara - I hope she wins it all.:thumbup:

Helen whines too much for me - grow a set, already!:thumbup:

Mike finishing the marathon with a semi-injured hip was cool to watch - very inspirational.

Ron finishing the marathon was amazing - pure grit. He just refused to give up and it was very cool to see all the past participants come and walk with him. Yep, I still dislike him overall, but last night was a redeeming moment for him.

Feeling sorry for Max - he's got three people in his house that have lost the weight and he's still big. To his credit, he really seems to be working on it - I hope he makes it.

Can't wait for the live finale!:thumbup:

While I'm very proud of Ron for FINALLY finishing something in his life, it also aggravates me that much more about his whiny ass and all those times he quit almost immediately after starting.

In the half-marathon, he went (somebody said) about 3 miles. Well, he PROVED last night that he COULD do it, twice over. Same with every other challenge he's quit. Last night proved that he COULD do it, he just consistently chose not to. Like he chose not to let the gastric bypass work for him.

Plain, I didn't know that Ellen was from Atlanta, Tx. I live in Omaha, just a stone throw away from you.

Oh, I live closer to you than that. I reside in the metropolis of Douglassville.

OH, and WHY WHY WHY do they ALWAYS have to show these people puking??? Did we REALLY need to see Max tossing his water? :thumbup:

You know you like it....

Even my DH who usually says women her size "need a sandwich" doesn't have ANYTHING bad to say about Jillian...

She's a little too "muscle-y" for me (I know, y'all really care, right....lol). I find it fascinating.....the difference between what men find physically attractive and what women THINK men would find physically attractive.

You know you like it....

Yeah, no. Not really.

Nah, I think it's about what women find fascinating and realizing the hard work that's involved.

Don't you know yet that women don't do stuff for men? They do things (makeup, clothes, exercise/good bodies) for other women. Duh! :thumbup:

I saw Daniel tonight at the gym. He's lost 148lbs!!! He looks great! He said that all the contestants are weighing in on Sunday morning. I can't quite figure out the reasoning behind that, other than they don't want all the contestants looking dehydrated and pale at the Finale on Tuesday. Just wanted to update everyone on his progress!!

Wow! Sounds like he's right on track to keep it off. I wish him well.

I just bought some Jillian Michaels stuff -- the book mentioned here plus two dvd's, another book, and a box full of 50 different exercise routines. Guess I'm gonna get Jillianized.

There's also a Wii game. My sis bought it and one of those Wii boogie boards.

(I figure I'll get it from her cheap here in about 6 months)

Hehehehe!!!

I keep saying nwo is about the time to check CraigsList and places that buy used workout equipment. All that stuff people got for Christmas with the best of intentions is probably collecting dust about now.

I want to be that muscle-y. And I don't care if guys don't like it!

that's awesome...

I just heard he got a job at a Gold's Gym.

I am traveling down to N.C. in a month to visit. I have been wanting to chat with him. We belong to the same Car Club, different chapters though.

That's awesome to hear about Daniel - he's going to be really close to hitting the 50% mark at that rate, and may be a contender for the at-home contestants' prize.

I'm really glad he's doing so well - it broke my heart to watch him struggling. He's showed a lot of courage and commitment by sticking with it at home - he should be very proud of himself.

I can't wait to see what Joelle and Carla did while they were away, plus the other woman who was eliminated, but came back and was eliminated again the first week back...can't remember her name right now. She was on with her then-fiance...

Everyone going home for a month and only losing at the most 10 pounds just goes to show how hard it is losing weight can be (ok, I KNOW we already know this) but it also shows just how artificial the ranch environment is. Unless I can work out 6-8 hours a day with a trainer and not have to work I won't be able to lose 10 pounds a week. I'd be happy with 10 pounds a month!!
