So, I am totally addicted to reality TV (with a 2 yr. old and a 2 month old I end up watching most of it during middle of the night feedings!)...does anyone watch Biggest Loser?

Re: Biggest Loser?
I kind of want to watching. What channel does it come on?
At the same time I feel really bad for those people. They practically wave food in front of the Losers' faces.

Re: Biggest Loser?
I like this show for the most part, but this Biggest Loser: Couples show is kind of lame in comparison to past shows, IMO. I think it's a pretty messed up message too, especially for those who have never tried to lose weight before. 8 pounds in a week is NOT normal! I think it gives those who are starting weight-loss journies unrealistic expecations. Geez, these people start crying if they "only" lose 2 pounds. I was always ecstatic when I'd lose 2 pounds in a week!START 8/16/06 @ 270+~MG1: 220-12/2/06~MG2: 210-1/07~MG3: 199-3/2/07~MG4: 190-4/27/07~MG5: 180-7/04/07~GOAL: 170

Re: Biggest Loser?
Julie I agree with you on the 8 lbs in a week thing ....... I know better and it still gets me down sometimes ..... I have even read up on what they do and these people work a regimented 6 hours a day of excercise and often times more on their own ...... I think it's awesome that they are given this amazing head start to the weight loss but it does set up a HUGE comparrison for those in the real world that then try and do the same ..... in normal life it is just NOT possible. With all that said I LOVE the show I have watched every episode since it started and just stand in awe at the transformations we see.Originally posted by julirama723I like this show for the most part, but this Biggest Loser: Couples show is kind of lame in comparison to past shows, IMO.

Re: Biggest Loser?
LOVE IT! Good Motivation for me! As for the 8 pounds in one week not being normal......on Induction sometimes we loose more than that, right?

Re: Biggest Loser?
On induction, yes it's possible, but do we lose 8 pounds EVERY week? No. Some of these people are consistently losing 6, 8, 10 pounds each week. But then again, they spend 6 hours in the gym. YIKES!START 8/16/06 @ 270+~MG1: 220-12/2/06~MG2: 210-1/07~MG3: 199-3/2/07~MG4: 190-4/27/07~MG5: 180-7/04/07~GOAL: 170

Re: Biggest Loser?
I LOVE Biggest Loser. This is the first season that I've watched it. I'm really looking forward to the season finale on Tuesday. My vote is for Ali.
Who do you want to win?

Re: Biggest Loser?
I am totally addicted to the show!!! I even voted Tuesday night. I cry right along with them
I think it is awesome. I mean they all lost in the double digits Tuesday!!! In the real would this doesn't happen every week, but it is motivating. I set the DVR to record it, just in case I get busy, or don't have time.

Re: Biggest Loser?
I have to say....... I want Kelly to win because she was the heaviest woman there on day one. She is awesome. However, I think it will be Ali or Mark.Originally posted by cloggerI LOVE Biggest Loser.

Re: Biggest Loser?
I really want Ali to win. I think she's a genuinely nice person. I love the show but I wish they would show the past people and how they're doing. I think a lot of them don't keep it off so they don't want us to see that. When we do see people they pick a small few, who are doing well. I thin the young girls from this season won't keep it off. I don't like Mark but I think he has the best chance to stay thin.
