Biggest Loser on now



Recommended Posts

When I did Nutrisystem, a fairly young gal, 20ish, weighed over 500 lbs I believe and tried out for this show. Even though she was in good health, they told her to lose 100 - 200 lbs and come back, they didnt take really heavy women because of the risk. She was so upset and sad to be told she was too large to be accepted for a show called "The Biggest Loser". My heart went out to her.

I see the show is doing some large men and women and I'm glad. Everyone needs help losing and I would think those who are larger, even more so.

The father on the brown team had by-pass surgery to lose weight and still gained. They showed his stomach on the MRI machine and said it was the size of a egg and still he managed to gain, "WLS is not a panacea" (edited to add the doctor said this, not me).

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

      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! 😞
