Biggest Loser 10 Talk

I usually stop watching the show once people start playing the game. I hate when it goes down that path which it always does... Sadly it gets to that point sooner and sooner each season.

I totally came to the realization that I chose to eat what I eat and I chose to not work out and not move so I cant sit and complain about it unless I am willing to get up and do something about it. Last nights episode kinda made that click in me.

EXACTLY! I got to 340lbs all on my own. Nobody forced me to eat that whole medium sized Pizza Hut Supreme pizza in one sitting and wash it down with 2L of pop. That choice was mine.

I came across a quote from Lao Tzu that I love - "If you do not change direction, you may end up where you are heading."

Yeah I mean I hit 320+ not because I was unlucky but because when I got out of the army I stopped moving well stopped moving everything but my mouth...... I say plus because my scale only went up to 320.

With the people that didn't "win", I knew they were still going to be on the show but as a separate team like how the Biggest Loser usually does it

Oh man, I hope they ALL get to come but in the form of a separate team, that would be a great gimmick. I didn't know if maybe only two were going to get to come because there was no yellow team and the preview showed two yellow players walking in. But I hope you're right and it's ALL of them!

WHen I finally got to the end as was watching the mini clips of the season I heard Jillian say something along the lines of adding more competetors, about 700 pounds worth. Some of the people that didn't make it were over 400#, and nobody seemed to be under 220. I think they'll add either 2 or 3 of the people that didn't make it to go to the ranch instead of all the people that failed.

Unfortunately, I only got to see part of the show I will check out hula next week as suggested! (can't remember by who, sorry!)

I did celebrate the start of BL10 by doing day 1 of Jillian's 30 Day Shred yesterday! I'll be skipping today though.

The stories did seem pretty extreme this year, not many 'regular' folks it seemed like.

You know, watching the season premier just kind of reminded me of part of the reason I started MFP and getting serious about getting my health back once and for all.

I just realized that if I didn't change what I was doing, pretty soon I would be so big that I might have to consider doing something humiliating like going on Biggest Loser...except I never would and I mean, does that mean I just have to be fat forever?

So I just buckled down in July and since then I've been exercising and eating healthy food in smaller amounts, and losing weight and inches.

So, yeah the show is inspirational because of how much I would never want to have to do something like that.

I want to see it but it can only be viewed on NBC site in the USA. Looks like I will have to wait until next year when it will be shown in the UK. I'm still watching season 9 here so no mention of who won it please

you can catch it online at hulu.com next week.

Thanks for this I will look out for it

That's because it is a game. It's a reality TV show. As much as people are in it for help to get healthy, it is still a game...on TV...where $250,000 can be won... so I don't understand why people get so upset when people are 'playing the game'.

Not to mention, a lot of it is put on by the producers. While the focus of the show on the ranch is fitness, unfortunately it's still a reality TV show so the REAL focus is on ratings. Even if no one "played the game", I'm sure at some point the producers would find a way to push some of it in, or edit it to make sure it looked that way. It's frustrating for sure, but I just kind of keep in mind that it's mostly an outside factor injected by the producers and watch for the motivation.

I saw Jillian and Bob telling the ones who didn't make it to work hard, so I bet they'll have a weigh-in and/or another challenge to see who gets to be the yellow time.

Every season there are certain moments where the people I can relate to most just make me cry my head off. Like last season, when Darius did the weigh in in the auditorium, he breaks down when he says "I'll come back here, and I'll make you proud"...something in his voice, I think it sounds like shame, which I can 100% identify with unfortunately, just kills me. And during this season's first episode, when the one girl, Sophia, got up and broke down when she announced her starting weight as 272. Same thing...she sounds so ashamed. I can easily identify with what she's feeling.

Yes, they will have a 2nd chance to get on the show; but they need to get on the ball now.

It would be great if Corey could get back on...I'd be cheering for him. I look at him and I see myself. He NEEDS to be there. He reminds me of O'Neal from last season. I so wanted him to win...he made me cry every time he bounced up and down those stairs - he came so far

SP0472

Tonight's episode was...interesting. I didn't catch the beginning so I have no idea how the Yellow Team came to be. I'm not sure about this group. So far...no favorites. I know it's still very early in the season but they all seem like a bunch if whining babies to me. Not one person stood out as a kick a** contestant. Hope that changes.

lloydrt

SP, you know, I dont know about some of those exercise regiemes they enforce on the contestants.......Dont get me wrong, they nned it, really, they all need to lose it, but sheese, Lol..........Id die of a heart attack, esp on the treadmill

there is NO WAY I could ever ever keep up with Jillian, shed go off on me once too many, and well............curtains for her............

I get a little uncomfortable seeing people puke in a trash can next to a tread mill, ........I just dont think thats too medically safe, do you/

I know its a show, and it has to have its share of drama, but sheese, how do they do it...............

I was sad to see the girl leave, she was so scared to go home, thanks to her " uncaring" mother of hers, who left the chocoalate on the kitchen counter...............talk about sabatoging her

Also, I was really shocked that when she was only 14, that she got surgery for decreasing the size of her stomach...........hmm, whats up with that.......

This is my first season I have ever watched it, and I was really excited for them when they weighed in.......that along with living longer, there medical stats were horrible concerning the builid up of plaque, adn the index of fat they had.................really really scarrry stuff there....................Ill be rooting for them all........LLOYD

A 41 pound loss in a week? O.M.G. I too missed the beginning but I can't believe they lost that much in a week! Those men were kicking out 30-40lb losses left and right! Unreal.

I don't think it's that big of a deal to puke during working out. It just means you are pushing yourself to the extreme. I have seen people do it at the gym, I swallowed vomit once when spinning and I didn't feel light headed or anything.

SP0472

EWWW!

The last time I ever vomited while exercising was in Jr. High School when I ran cross country and tried to keep up with our fastest runner.

TBL ranch workouts are tough! I'm not sure I could do it. Well...I COULD...I'm not sure I'd want to. I wonder if they actually work out that hard for the 6 hours or if that's just for an hour and then they do moderate activity.

fit2sit

Just got done watching. GRRR. I couldn't believe that Jessica got that last flag. Was sad to see Allie go since she had the highest percentage of fat of all the contestants. But man, Jessica reminds me of one of my sister-in-laws, just don't like her attitude. But hey, that's what reality TV is all about, they want the villians as much as they want the heroes to get them the ratings.

Julbella78

haha I know that is gross! Although, the alternative was vomitting in class so I took one for the team. lol

I don't think I could do the ranch workouts. I wouldn't get attitude like some of the people on there rather I would cry like a baby. lol

edorice

Most of the exercises I didn't have problem with, but...to have Bob or Jillian on my back while exercising no way!!!

MTDork87

No real favorites yet for me either. Ada seems like she might be a force. I enjoy the silent but deadly contestants (like Ashlee last season).

A little sad that the weigh in / elimination stuff with the new yellow line means that portion of the show can take up more time. I'd rather see the work and the changes. Oh well, it's early!

It was actually 2 weeks but still crazy!

Julbella78

Two weeks makes much more sense. I missed the beginning so I didn't know. Thanks!

I wish they'd focus more on how they work out, on what exactly they do instead of the the time spent yelling at them. I think it'd be so helpful if they spent just a few minutes explaining what they're doing and why they're doing it and what results they'll see.

I agree. I'd love it if they showed the diet/menu plans and workout plans.

SP0472

I was really surprised by the low weight loss results last night. I know that's how it SHOULD be but considering how much they work out I thought for sure they'd all hit double digits again.

I think dude on the blue team, Adam - the one who had the highest loss last night is going to be someone to watch. Even in the gym, he's always quiet and just works out hard. I think he's the one person there who really gets it. Brendan is really getting on my nerves and so is Burgandy. I don't know why - they just don't sit well with me.

I'm glad Tina's no longer there. I think if you waiver so often, the ranch is not for you. I am annoyed that she didn't speak up sooner and they voted the other girl off last week.

edorice

Some of them got low weight results because it was a surprise weigh in at mid-week.

True, but even still...I expected more than just 1-3lbs for some of them. On the plan I'm on now I'm losing about 2lbs per week with NO exercise [yet].

What bugged me the most is how they started that women against men cr@p again. Way does it have to get down to that?

I'm disappointed that Jillian kept implying that the women weren't working as hard as the men. We all know that men DO lose weight easier and faster than women. The women will have to work 2 or 3 times as hard to get near equal results and even then, it may not happen. I can't imagine any of those women losing 20lbs in a week!

MTDork87

Ugh totally agree. The women v men thing is obnoxious. Do you think it'll be that way when they split for black and blue?

I'm also glad Tina is gone, not because I didn't like her, but because I think that she will do better at home. And she can help her daughter which is really sweet.

I'm also starting to love team blue. Both Ada and Adam seem to have that quiet storm thing going - kinda like Ashlee last season (who was my favorite - go pink ninja!).

And random - I noticed that all their rooms are painted the team color. How silly is that? Imagine being on the yellow team and always having that bright yellow vs being on the black team with the monochrome. I know that would effect me. :-)
