Biggest Loser



Recommended Posts

I watch the Biggest Loser every week and I am hoping a girl can win this time. The crying is a little much- I AGREE! Did you know that the reason they contestants must take off their shirts before weighing in is to prove they haven't had weight loss surgery. (I guess everyone would see the scars if they had). Just something I heard on a the radio. Apparently on the Biggest Loser in anther country, one of the contestants had a lap band put in and tried to "cheat" as they said on the show. I don't know about you guys, but having a lap band still requires hard work to lose weight! Why do people think it is cheating? :smile2:

I thought I heard somewhere that there was going to be a contestant who had Gastric Bypass that failed. Maybe I dreamed it, but I could swear I saw it on a commercial or something? Anyone else remember hearing that?

I am just bummed that I can't vote. I am going to be so angry if Mark or Roger win when it's so obvious that women struggle so much more to lose.

This may have already been asked, but has anyone tried their meal plan? They mentioned it on the last episode and I went on their website to check today.

I don't think I would try it, but it sounds pretty okay. It sounds like a Nutra System type plan.

They lost me at the price. :smile2:

Georgia - I remember hearing about a previous bipasser being on the show since they had gained the weight back. I don't know if it ever was shown or not.

I love Ali!!!! She looks so good!!

I've thought about taking a week off of work, and just working out like a mad-woman the entire week. Would that let me lose 11-15 pounds like they all did in the last week?!?!?! Anyone considered doing that? I don't even know at what point I should eat more calories to be able to make it through the workouts. Ah well - it will stay a distant thought for now :)

Woohoo - tomorrow's the final show!!!

        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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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
