Anybody watching Biggest Loser tonight?

[Stacy160 201]

I agree Tiffy, my first impression of this season, after seeing that the contestants were even BIGGER...AGAIN... and seeing how they made them weigh in front of their families and hometowns...that just didn't sit well with me at all. I mean, how humiliating, and all for the sake of entertainment. I've always loved the basic idea of the show and how it does educate and inspire people but damn... treat them like human beings instead of circus animals.

btw, my surgeon has done the VSG on a former B.L. contestant who gained all the weight back, plus some (privacy laws keep him from telling which one!).

I don't watch tv at all ( i knowi know i'm a freak from another world but i like movies!) but i have seen the show like two years ago and i always did wonder how come the don't have loose skin???? it seems so unrealstic to me? can some shade some light on that?

Hey Nikki,, that is my BIG question...not of them have loose skin, even the older lady that won last year. What's up with that? Do they have Tummy Tucks before the winners are choosen? I agree with some of the ladies about unrealistic. For a short while they are in a very upbeat invironment that is dead set on them loosing weight, in most cases, they are succesfull. But after the show...the old way of life creeps back in. The trainners are gone, and you not in the lime light anymore. This is the best tool ever. I was hope for the loose skin to disapear if I really worked hard at it...but looks like that's something else I'll have to fix....sigh. Oh well...it's better than where I was 2.5 months ago. I wouldn't change it.

I don't watch TV Much either NIkki, you know why? Because there's nothing but TRASH on TV anymore. Everything is about image and money. And who had what, and who's doing who. I hate reality shows, police show, homicide shows, real video shows and all that trash...it's not worth watching. I like National Geographics, the Discovery Channel, show's that make me go..ahhhhh..that's cool. Or shows that make me laugh or feel good. I do like American Idiol...because it's inspiring that anybody could win it. I hate Biggest looser, because the explote fat people. Nobodies perfect. But the world of man only accepts perfect people. Good thing GOD accepts me like I am. SO he's the only ONE, I care to please. No other oppinion really matters, if you think about it. Ok I'm done with my rant.
