    I want to look like a high school cheerleader again -- NOT!!

    When they first started advertising for this show I thought maybe it'd be interesting, but the first clip I saw of it blew that thought out of the water. They "weigh off" whoever lost the least amount of weight. Don't they have a clue at all??? Uh, guess not. No measurements, no endurance tests, just if you didn't lose (or heaven forbid- gained!) you must NOT have been trying.

    It's a huge competition against each other instead of helping each other. Guess that is a high school mentality they're going for.

    If anyone doesn't know why this drives me nuts, check out the "weight loss is not linear" sticky in the 14-day induction forum.

    Yeah, I know what you mean. I watched the first episode but I couldn't watch anymore. Most of those ladies didn't even look like they needed to lose weight in the first place. I'd be happy if I had some of those bodies All those weight loss shows are the same. rediculous.

    Everytime I am tempted to use food to satisfy my frustrated desires, build up my injured ego, or dull my senses, I will remember,
    That even though I overeat in private, my excess poundage is there for all the world to see.

      Ahh, I disagree. All of them are heavy - maybe not poundage wise, but they are definitely too high in body fat and their lack of fitness and health shows.

      I've been watching too and I agree, Linda, the weigh off is They should be doing body fat calculations/fitness tests instead.

        We seriously need our own reality show concept to sell to a network.

          To be honest, I hate that the reality weight loss shows vote anyone off at all! I can't stand on Biggest Loser in the beginning when they have a bunch of people on the first episode, but only a few of them get to stay on the show. It's a great thing that they do for the people that get to stay; however, I wish all of the people got to stay. I can't even imagine the emotional rollercoaster of letting your family and town know that you are going to be on a popular tv show and come back in the next couple of days having not even participated.

          Obviously all of them need to be there. It's just an example of ratings vs. caring I guess. With that being said, I still watch the dang things every week. lol.
