Rant about Biggest Loser



Recommended Posts

I watch BL every week...Tivo is the best! I think Vicky and Brady are doing some sneaky stuff and I hope they get voted off! I think that it is really unrealistic for the real world. A good kick off for weight loss, but there doesn't seem to be any post-show support. I went to a fat farm (weight loss spa) for 2 months a few years ago and did fine for a while, but gained it all back. I did see that Matt has been struggling and I'm sure some other people are too. They also don't really focus much on what they are eating other than to promote certain brands.

I hate the "game" part of it...but I like seeing people successfully lose weight. I TiVo the show and fast forward through the drama.

Yes, Vicky is definitely a conniving b----.

I use DVR (same thing as TiVo) because my husband and I refuse to watch that show unless we can fast forward through the commercials and the boring/meaningless chit-chat during the weigh-ins. You know, doing it that way, a 2hr show becomes 35mins! :rolleyes2:

It's Heba that bothers me. She acts like such a know it all. I can't wait for her to go down the road.

That site did not work for me. What am I doing wrong. It said I had to be a VIP

Did anyone see the Oprah show where they showed the people who had gained the weight back? Ali from last year is doing great.

      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.
