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!!!

      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.
