Start of Biggest Loser - Weigh In

Mita · March 9, 2006

Ok I just saw the weigh in of the Girls and Let me ask is it just me?

When I first saw the 1st show All of the Contestants were over 2oolbs and now I saw 2 gals under a 200 pounds 157.00 & 190.00 what is up with that?

Are you talking about the Biggest Loser show with the military wives? Did you realize one of them had gastric bypass and has gained the weight back?

I saw it tonight also...I thought it odd that someone that was way under 200 lbs was on there too. I noticed the gal that had the GB too. I hope she learns better eating habits this time around. It will be a great suprise for their husbands when they come home.

i think that the one who was under 200 was only 5 ft tall. thats quite a bit for some one who is that small.

Yeah, Eathensgrandma, they were short. I really enjoyed watching it. I gett excited someone other people reach for their goals. It's very inspirational and I don't feel along.

im 5 2 and a quarter (lol) i was 215 at the start my journey i bounce back and forth 198 - 215 for the last 4 years being so short it was effecting my heart ended up on insulin and my joints hurt all the time ! either way short or tall any extra weight can csause troubles ..my goal is basicly to get off meds be healthy and well yeah wouldnt mind being the skinny one for a change

Well I guess I missed the intro part --Which one had he GP?

I guess what I am thinking is that even if you are 5 ft and weigh 190 you really do not have much to lose vs someone who is 240 and is 5'6 - to me it is not fair to the other contestants on who loses more in the end.

And I do agree the shorter and the more weight you put on adds more stress not only to your system but all of you..

I think these women were all chosen because their husbands are serving together and not just serving. I don't know how many of you have past military experince, but there is a bond that forms when your spouses are serving in the same group, espicaly for the Navy. (I can only speak to Navy experience, since Army wives are whiny :confused: )

I think it was the tall blond Navy wife that had the WLS; the Navy is in blue obviously.
