Diets & Weight Maintenance Support Group

I started to watch it but turned it off half way through. I don't care for reality shows as they are edited for entertainment value.

I find the show entertaining,and I was also saddened at times last night. I do, however, disagree with how unrealistic it is. You cannot do at home what they do on the ranch. I have also read some behind-the-scenes stuff about how the weigh-ins actually span more than a week and the contestants will completely dehydrate themselves right before a weigh-in. So I think it is good that it is getting the message out there, but not so sure it's the proper way. I look at it as just a set up television show, but do find it inspirational at times. I know those people work VERY hard!

We watch Biggest Loser faithfully. My daughter and I were discussing how the contestants keep getting bigger and bigger. It is a very sad commentary on America. I really hope that 19 year old Daniel wins. He is a sweetheart and I soooo want to see him healthy!

I agree that a lot of it is for entertainment value, there is no way to compress a whole weeks worth of stuff into a couple of hours. We see the major things. I wish they would show more of the food/training an education that goes on. Bob one of the main trainers actually does a lot of food/program education. Have any of you ever visited the web site for looser? I think the show even with its faults is opening the eyes of America as to just how big a problem obesity is.

Yes, I watched the show (as well as all the other seasons). I find it motivating. Yes, I felt sad, at times but turned that over to :) because they were now getting the help they needed. I was also happy that they pointed out how bypass surgery sometimes do not work. Did you see how big that guy got after he had the surgery. WOW! Anyhoo, I will continue to watch and learn new tips.

BTW, I have not been able to catch Oprah this week. I did hear that she gained her weight back.

Life happens.

Watch the bigest loser every season It is wonderful and give us all hope.
Make you wish you could aford a trainer.

Oprah this week has been great.
I am taping as I work.
But if you watched last night show Susie Orman she hit the nail on the head for saving money, and I think it will help you loose wait too.
1)one day a month spend no money.
2)one week a month use no credit cards
3)one full month do not eat out.
I thought that was great advise if we did it every month we would all be rich and thin.......

Tonight it is about sex, hoping my husband watches........

I am addicted to the biggest loser, last nights episode, I couldn't stop crying, I feel bad for the blue team. I am so impressed with all the weight they have lost especially ron, even with is health issues he has still ost 103 lbs. No I know that they excercise rediculously but I do find it inspiring when they went home this week and still lost quite abit of weight, even up to 10 lbs. It seems everyweek I am still rooting for everyone and can't wait to see the finale

I watch the biggest loser every week and miss seeing it when it isn't go for a while. I have to tape it since I work evenings but watch it the next day. I haven't seen last nights show yet. Have you seen the one that gets voted off the next tuesday morning on the Today show. They show what they look like after going home. It is prettey amazing.
