Biggest Loser - new season



Recommended Posts

I am making a new resolution - to ride my new-to-me exercise bike (that I rearranged my whole office for) during this season! Anyone else up for it?

I did buy an eliptical that I am having a very hard time using. I'll see what I can do to get it and a TV in the same room and join you. There is no way I can do the eliptical during the entire show, but it's a good idea.

Great - would love to have company! I did ride for 5 minute sessions 3 times last night, and hope to build up to more over the course of the season. I tend to get problems with plantar fascitis so wanted to take it slow (all my exercise this year has been in the pool, and this is my first try at a machine).

The eliptical is one that I tried in '06 and couldn't seem to figure it out - coordination wise. I could do maybe 30 seconds, so congratuations to anyone who gets it! Seeing John and James doing it makes me want to try it again though!

Okay, I'm in. My recumbant (sp?) bike sits in my LR and I look at the dust collecting on it. My ortho doctor said for me to ride it during each commercial in the beginning and work up to longer periods with it.

I also promise to start back to YMCA and the pool/machines.

Excellent - this will be much more fun...mine is a recumbent bike too. I started with 3 commercial breaks and rode for 5 minutes, then got off and stretched. I also tried to do some of those sort of knee bending things that they were doing, but wasn't sure if I should (one knee started making a noise)... I was probably in the wrong position.

So, if we touch base each week to say what we're doing, it might help us be motivated, and give each other ideas for things to do?

Ok - everyone watching? My goal tonight is to do at least 20 minutes total tonight (last week I did two 5 minute stints). I started at the beginning of a commercial and just kept going until I reached 5 minutes or a mile.

love this show! So motivating...

I don't have a machine that i can put in front of the tv (i would LOVE to do that for this show), BUT I'm going to do something during the commercial breaks...pushups, crunches, squats, toning w/ the band....every commercial break..

Hope your station will replay it sometime soon, it was the medical "how bad are you" episode...

I didn't meet my whole goal, but made about 50% (plus paid the bills I'd been putting off!), same as last week. I'm mad I made an excuse that 25 laps in the pool this morning was enough - I need to follow-through as much as the contestants do! I'll make it up during Project Runway? or Grey's Anatomy...

I am looking forward to 2 weeks from now when I get my WII system and the games to go with it. I will then play the WII in the playroom while watching the Biggest Loser. So glad I can see the main tv from the other room.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
