My thoughts are very similar to yours.. I think the show is cruel . It is a unrealistic view on obese people. Jillian is a tyrant I think they should have left her off the show period. I like Bob okay and Dovett is a good trainer too. Rachel was going to win from the beginning, she has a competetative personality but I think she looks too thin. I have lost 60 lbs this year it has been slow but steady and I am healthy. Biggest Loser has become a soap opera. All the psycho analysis by these trainers is ridiculous and disingenuius .

I love the show and love seeing how the people end up. I do think Jillian is a bully, a lot of the time. I know I wouldn't want her to be my trainer.
Rachel did go over board to win the money. But then she was a swimmer, so maybe this weight is normal for her younger self.

Amen!! You're doing the right thing. Going into this journey you will really need to be free from any distractions, especially ones that might have been seen as co-dependent. Obesity and over eating is an addiction, and until we all realize this for ourselves we will always fall back into bad habits. You're already starting out on the right foot.
You're going to do wonders with your Sleeve!

That is very cool! Good luck with everything!

That is fantastic!! ALL THE TIME, GOD IS SO GOOD. Congrats to you.

Wow! You are truly blessed to work for someone who cares.

That's wonderful!

congratulations!!!! blessings always come in amazing ways!!! im happy for you.!! the journey begins soooon!

That's really an inspiration.

You go girl! I'm thinking about trying it and keeping an eye on your success!

:-)

This is so amazing! You Rock!!!! I an so proud of you.....

LOL :-) Well I'm glad everything turned out okay for Lyra.

Woww, I was wondering what the 60 days was! You will rip your body apart, muscle by muscle! LOL You cn do it!

damm girl you do an hour of cardio 6 days a week what is insanity is that weight training you are a machine i lift 6 days a week but i do 45 minutes of cardio 4 times a week i use to do hour of cardio but since i increased my weight training i dont have the energy to do hour at night after 10 12 hour work days

I really needed to read this! tHANKS! I'm with you here! I will have to check this out! Go Irene!

I have faith in you LMD! I know you can do it! I can't wait to see you at the end of 60 days!

Lets see...last check in was 19 hours...now you're at 21 hours...and I'm pretty sure you wrote this a while ago. Told ya, it's all downhill from here!! You got this! If you can do everything you've done to this point a couple days of liquids is NOTHING!!! Just think about how much easier it is now, than it was Pre-Op!

...and it is a first step in the right direction! We all have to start somewhere, but the important thing is continuing on this journey and seeing it through.
I do understand the guilt that goes along with leaving the guys as I'm in a similar situation at work. I'm heavily relied upon and I do feel bad if I take too much time off. Well, perhaps that or I just hate coming back to several hundred emails... ha!
Anyhow, many blessings to you as you begin the first step to the rest of your life. I took that step a few years ago and I don't regret a single one along the way - even the missteps!! *hugs*

You're doing just fine, keep up the great work!!!

I'm so glad you've checked in to share with us all your successes and great news! I'm sure you were riding high wearing a slinky hot little black dress.
I agree it is so much fun watching our families reactions, especially Hubby.
Congrats!!!

I like it and will keep those thing in mind as I start my journey. Thank you for sharing.

Awww Hang in there, one week will go by really fast. True the pre-op diet is tough, but sticking it out is both for your best health going into surgery AND any weight you lose will be bonus. You won't have to lose it post-op.
xoxo

Wow great job!! I'm glad to see you're back on the wagon, though you did take a little time off it didn't seem to hurt you too much. Keep up the great work and I'm looking forward to checking in next month.

Wow Raven that is excellent!! It's always better to let someone else pick up the tab. ;o) Cheers on your journey!
