The Truth About Life After 'The Biggest Loser'



Recommended Posts

I actually adutioned for season 9 with my cousin. I am thankful that I didn't get the call. Now my cousin did, the next season. She was part of the season 10 cast. She did an awesome job while being on the ranch, lost 96 pounds during the season. I will say, she has reminded me that it is a "contest" and they really do try to win the prize. I know that she had a really unforgettable experience while being on the ranch and is happy she did it, but I think this last season just went to far! The winner looked ill.. too skinny.. not healthy.

I just can't wait to get my sleeve on!!

I used to watch that show but it almost made me think they were torturing those people to lose weight. Who in real life has time to exercise six hours a day. I have a job, a home, a zoo of animals to take care of and the only time I get to exercise when I take my horse size dog for a walk or he walks me lol. I think it is ridiculous that they think this is healthy weight loss.

Ya know it was a contest the Biggest looser wins money and all the attention from the world. I am not sure I could handle all the pressure to compete with others in that way. I just saw her in an interview and she looks like she put on about 5 lbs, she looks good. Now when the camera's and interviews stop maybe she can relax and enjoy her life in maintenance with out the long hours of exercising. Still it is her journey wishing her the best!

I have only ever seen a tiny bit of the show, but what I saw disgusted me.

There was some contest and the loser had to eat donuts (or maybe it was some other crappy food).

Clearly not a show about gaining health.

      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.
