The Biggest Loser - good or bad?



Recommended Posts

Maybe if all of you devoted a little more of your TV watching time to exercise you wouldn't be in this situation. You don't have the "time" or "determination" for exercise but you have "time" for TV and the "determination" to get a Lap-Band. Seriously this is an hour long show... sometimes two hours... and you are here complaining that in the real world you can't realistically do this, get real. Want to try and separate TV from Reality....try "separating" your rear from the couch your "reality" wouldn't be so large...

Maybe if you devoted a little more of your time and effort to your own life you wouldn't be such an asshole.

On the troll meter, this rates 1/10....Try again, Tiki when you have some decent material.

You are well within your rights to think that. Just as I am to think you are an asshole. Good day to you.

Well, Biggest Looser fans!!!!

I was real worried the Black team was not going to make it tonight...BUT...they did...WOOHOOO

I like Jillian and am so glad she is back. Not sure if I like the new host...she is so much different than the last one...But...oh well.

What is everyones opinion on the red team???

I think they dont work out in the gym nearly as hard as the blue team...I was surprised the black teams girls didnt do any better...they really seemed to have kicked it up allot...

Well, that was my opinion as I sat in my chair and watched..LOL

Hope everyone had a good night

hehe... apparently THAT idiot with the TV issues... has their own problems...

See i watch TV WHILE I exercise... isn't THAT a concept? Who'd have thunk it? Blows that eliquent 'couch potato' theory... ha

Tiki2007 - here is something you could learn. you don't have to sit motionless on the couch to watch tv... haha you moron.

I love the show! They do workout a lot but I don't think its all that more extreme than what a lot of fitness junkies do - even at our local health club there are people that workout several hours every day. I wish I had that much determination. :rolleyes:

You are exactly correct. If you are determined it is not unrealistic. They really don't work out 24/7, they can't...Your body has to have time to heal. It becomes unhealthy if you workout to much. I work out 5/6 times a week and run at least 2 miles a day. But I have always worked out..I'm one of those "work out junkies" plus I'm training for the Navy SEALs, so I have been pretty hardcore for a bit. I have a lot of knowledge in working out if anyone here has any questions just aim me at crossfitnick. Weight loss has SO MUCH to do with what you eat. People eat food and drink stuff that makes me think "and you wonder why you can't lose weight". You have to stop COMPLETELY drinking carbonated beverages. Water Water WATER. ALL SUGAR TURNS INTO FAT EXCEPT FOR THE SUGAR GOTTEN BY fruit. If you work out almost at all. You should drink a gallon of water a day, not pepsi cola (makes me cringe). I mean I could give tips all day long, but if nobody here will follow them it's pointless so if you want advice aim me.

If you picked up on it last night, the blonde trainer girl said that they are working upwards of 4hrs per day, not all day. I totally thought that they were exercising 8hrs a day.

And I read Jillian Michaels new book this weekend and she wrote in there that you can only work out for 2hrs at a time before your body starts burning muscle, so I'm sure they are doing a morning workout and an evening workout, not all at once.

And to the jackass - I do sit on the couch and glue myself to the tv for the biggest loser, after my 1hr spin class and taking the dog for her 1hr walk, thank you very much...

Okay everyone....I think that we raise our foot off Tiki2007---because he/she makes a valid point. However, Tiki just keep in mind that it is not what you say, but how you say it. Because to be perfectly honest, I know that if I spent less time on the couching watching tv that would be an opportunity for me to do something that would exert more energy and thus promote more weight loss.

I think he/she deserved everything that was said to him/her.

A lot of us work out around here. Some more than others, but many of us put in much more effort than many naturally thin people do. It pisses me off that people assume because we are fat, we are lazy. We are here trying to do something about it and snotty asshole comments from people like tiki are not helpful in our struggle.

      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.
