Re: Biggest Loser Season 8 Challenge

Hello Everyone, I am watching the biggest loser right now and really would like to join in on this challenge if it is not too late. I had major surgery 2 weeks ago and still have four-six weeks before I can really work out but I can still walk and will do that until my doctor clears me to so more working out. So if can join by goal is 2 pounds for the week.

Re: Off topic: Body For Life

Mizski,
I am sort of new, what is "Body for life"?

Body For Life is a bodybuilding (with cardio) program. A group of did the 12-week challenge unofficially last year. I had great results but stopped during the second month after the sudden death of my mom. The same bunch is doing it again but I'm going in for surgery. I WILL complete those 12 weeks (and more) some day (hopefully early next year).

p.s. We do the BFL workout but with our own diet/eating plans.

Re: Biggest Loser Season 8 Challenge

All right Biggest Loser challengee's (is that a word??? ), did anyone see tonight's show? I won't comment on details in case people are still watching it but I will say I was surprised at how heavy all the contestants are.

It will be interesting to see this group slim down but I hope this season isn't plagued by all those product plugs.

Looks like it will be great motivation for the Atkins group here. Although, I think we all could benefit from Bob and Jillian kicking our butts and screaming at us at the gym.

It's Week 1 kiddos...clean up your meal plan and get moving!!!

p.s. Was that mean enough???

Re: Biggest Loser Season 8 Challenge

I just got through watching the first hour of TBL taped last night. My question...how long/often is everyone exercising?? I'm guessing that at the ranch all they do is exercise, eat, and sleep. Obviously, we can't do that in real life. But I'd love to hear what others' schedules for exercise are going to look like. I haven't lost 5 pounds in one week for months. I need an extra boost for sure!

Re: Biggest Loser Season 8 Challenge

Hello and welcome to everyone! I'm so glad you guys are here. I know we will have an amazing amount of weight loss between now and the shows end! I can't wait to see all the progress pics, and watch those numbers drop each week.

I DVRed the show, and will be watching it in just a few minutes.

Good luck to you all and thanks a million to those that will be popping in and out with encouraging words of support for the duration of the challenge

If my memory serves me correctly, the show is basically their job for the 5-6 months that they're there on the ranch.... I believe I read somewhere that they workout 6-8 hours a day

DON'T FORGET TO GET YOUR PICS AND MEASUREMENTS POSTED ASAP!

I'm off to get mines out of the way now!

Re: Biggest Loser Season 8 Challenge

I finished watching TBL last night. There's no way to compete with weight loss like that! I'm interested to see how much they can lose the 2nd week. Wow! If I lost like that I could be to goal in 6 months. As it is, my challenge goal is still 60 lbs above ultimate goal.

==========================================
****CAUTION RANT IN PROGRESS****

Ok, so I am plenty pissed! I know that weigh-in is not for another 3 days yet, but I hopped on the scale this morning, since TOM finally vacated the premises...low and behold, the water did not leave with him! I am up to197.2, and I don't appreciate it at all! Now I have to bust my hump to try and lose 7.2 lbs in the next 3 days. While, this is very doable, I still don't appreciate the liquidy baggage, I've been left with!


WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEWWWWWWWWW! Alright, I feel better now...thanks for reading!
