I catch it off and on depending on which day of the week they play it or what else I am addicted to TV-wise during that time slot. :tt1:

I DID catch the season finale and saw Michelle win. What a gorgeous woman, no matter her weight. I thought she was gorgeous when she was fat, and she is certainly gorgeous now. I hope she can stick to it since not all can.

I will try to catch this season to help motivate me.

Btw, I bought some of The Biggest Loser's workout dvd's -- anybody else get them or use them? I haven't cracked them open yet so I don't know what to expect. Ten hours' worth of Nazi-style workouts? Hope not... :wub: :thumbup:

Well sheesh! I type up this huge post and it doesn't work - ugh! I hate it when that happens!

Anyway, I'm excited to see how the largest contestant ever pans out. He seems very determined but he does have a lot of weight to lose and can be seen as a threat to the other contestants...

Woohoo!! Can't wait!

I can't wait, either! I have the front page of last week's US magazine on my fridge. :thumbup: Michelle looks great, and so does Ali, still! I'm so impressed.

I can't wait to see tonight's show, and assess (sp?) the players. I really am hoping there isn't any drama like Vicky from last season. As much as I love to hate, I'm hoping for inspiration this time.

Ok, so I don't really watch TBL, but it's on now and I'm watching the "race" thing that they're doing. I don't mean to offend all you fans, but this show seems a little.....exploitative. Still I watch, though....

Exploitative in the sense that American Idol is exploitative in the beginning when they are making fun of those horrible caterwaulers? :thumbup:

Yeah, it is somewhat exploitative, but they at least give these people something to strive towards and you can see the progress as the show goes on. I guess htey could start them out by having them weightlift creme puffs, but what fun would that be?

Yeah, the difference is that I don't identify very closely with singers.

I love this show, however, I do seem to be a reality show junkie! Such inspiration. I too disliked the manipulator, Vicky last season. I enjoy watching the progress throughout the season tho.

True. My singing is legendary. Not in the good way. Anybody catch that one of the dudes had a gastric bypass? The doc pointed it out when they were reviewing a MRI / CAT scan.

      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.
