Biggest Loser Fall 09



Recommended Posts

Well... when Alexandra was kicked off, they did the "look at her now". She said something about having a crush on someone (apparently on the show) and that she was too shy to say anything. She then said to wait and find out who it was.

I just caught the last 15 minutes of the show, but I thought Alexandra looked great with her 60 lb weight loss. Yay for her, and I'm glad she's has more confidence in herself.

So glad it is back on - I feel more motivated watching it - I think the love connection was Dan - did you notice how upset he was that people were voting her to go home?

I watched the show today, over the seasons I have caught a show or 2 perhaps, but to tell you the truth I didn't ever get into watching it. It made me squirm. so unhappy and uncomfortable with myself didn't want it in my face , now I must say I am inspired by watching it and will stick with it this season.

I did notice, and I felt bad for him. He is such a sweet, likable person. I also suspected he may be the "crush".

What a tear jerker last night. Abby touched my heart, Shay also did.

I agree, I think Dan is the "crush". How cute would they be together! Who needs the Bachelor when you have the Biggest Loser! lol.

I was kinda excited, there are two players from Oklahoma, Danny is from Broken Arrow (suberb of Tulsa) and Sean the youth pastor is from Tulsa - where I live. I have heard Oklahoma is one of the fattest states, I believe it. I just look around and everyone is overweight, its all the down home cooking they do around here.

Anyhow, thought it was a great show, but got tired of the F bomb being dropped too much. But besides that, I think this is going to be a good season.

Who is everyone's pick? Anyone have one yet? Still too soon for me to pick, but so far I like Abby. I guess I can relate to her being a mother, and I feel for her losing her entire family. I also am partial to Dan, he's an inspiration.

I was sobbing like a baby! :sad: So far my fave is Abby because of her attitude. She is obviously still suffering, though, and I'm not sure she doesn't need other type of help. Maybe this will be good for her, but I'm hoping it doesn't break her. I'd crack like a nut if that happened to my family. :) My heart really aches for her....

I still love Dan, though, too! :unsure:

I stayed in Broken Arrow for a week as a kid and went horse back riding and went to the church of Christ there Lyle M was the preacher at the time a friend of our family. They had a one room school house there at the time population was only a few hundred

No picks yet for me. Frankly I never really care about the backstory, and so the sobbing doesn't win me over. I want to see how they act -On The Ranch-

That's all. Do they want it enough to get over themselves and kick their own rear? Tens of thousands of other people would gladly be where they are; will the contestants realize just what a gift they've been given?

I suspect this is why I never cared for Bob, and like Jillian's methods better.

At least this season we don't have to worry about blood ties messing up the game strategy.

I couldn't even make it past the opening introductions without crying - but that's just me.

Love the show - excited!

Did notice the increase in cussing - I was cracking up that the censors apparently no longer have an issue with the word bitch - i was like wow - don't think I remember hearing that on the show before.

Thank y'all for letting me in on the love crush might be Dan. I was thinking that they were all married but I was forgetting about Dan.

HAHA you sound like my husband, I was crying when the lady who lost her family told her story, and my hubby was looking at me like I'm nuts. (ok I am) hehehehhe

I haven't made any picks yet either.

Agreed! I don't have favorites either. It's a wait and see game for me.

yes, I am glad they aren't family teams.

      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! 😞

      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.
