I don't know why but Biggest Loser depresses me usually. Maybe I would feel differently now after surgery. But I used to watch it when it first started then found myself so depressed with myself I didn't start the last several seasons. My sisters watch it faithfully. I don't think I could handle being yelled at like that. But I am a wimp. And interesting about Jillian, my expression is about the same as Raquel's, But really happy for her, I really wish her and her family the best.

I think it all depends in how I am feeling at the time when it is one. Sometimes I can watch one season and be ok but then they air another right after and then I'm not interested. My sister says that it's not a good program to watch because you tend to eat badly while your watching and she is right. I am usually eating during the program and that's not good.

I love the biggest loser and finally understand why they are so emotional!

I used to say at the beginning of every season, that I would diet and exercise too. Well that didn't happen. LOL. I ate crap on the couch watching the show.

You know in the beginning when the BL started just how much unprepared everyone was but that was expected because not everyone knew what to expect. Now it surprises me that when people get to the ranch they just want to give up. Haven't they seen the show and know that the first week is worse than hell. I don't know...I go back and forth watching it. I might watch it this time because of the kids.

The Biggest Loser and Extreme Makeover Weightloss Edition were shows that actually help me make my decision to have surgery!!! They are very motivating and I applaud them for having kids on the show this year. I however determined I needed the tool of RNY to achieve my goal as my life is hectic, stressfull and exhausting. I simply do not have the time to exercise all day long, cannot afford a personal trainer or a cook. I admire all those who can make the changes on their own. I simply could not.

Yesterday we had visitors and we offered Snacks. They knew I could not eat and so there was no pressure. It was kind of relaxing to not have the pressure to "be polite" and join them!!

No will power was needed!!! I think I am going to love this!!

I have seen multiple people on fb state that they were eating junk food while watching the biggest loser, lol. When it first came out, I would watch it regularly, but I got out of the habit over the last few seasons. I feel like the show became more about the competition and money than the motivating lifestyle change. I'm hoping the addition of the kids will renew the excitement about the show. I'm going to start watching again. I feel like it will motivate me now that I'm on the healthy living track again. I'm glad that it's on tonight! I thought I had missed it!

I like this show, but feel like its kinda unrealistic for most people. They work out upwards of 6 hours a day. Most people don't have that kind of time.

Doesn't surprise me that people do that....I am one of them. Last nights episode was just not good. You would think that after these contestaints watching previous seasons would know that the first workout would be like that. I just hope tonights episode is a little less whining and more about winning :)

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
