    I found out that Chris Powell has a website called www.reshapethenation.com

    It's a paid membership though, I was wondering if anyone knew anything about it?

    Tonight's show really hit home for me and I cried. Tonight's show was the best of all because it showed that everyone will not succeed and it showed how hard it is to beat a food addiction. Everyone will not do it in one year.

    The Insight program they showed on there tonight is the same program I am being evaluated for and looking to get approved for by my insurance. I have been waiting on them to have a show on the difficulty of food addiction and finally tonight they did it! I know everyone loves a success story, but unfortunately that is not the reality.

    My hubby & I watch it every Monday.
    I didn't think it was safe for a 100mile bike ride in that heat. He made it to the 42-43mile and couldn't continue...
    I thought the poor guy was going to have a heart attack. I totally related to his addiction to fast food.
    What a vicious cycle..... I hope Wally can pull through at rehab.

    When he said it was very hot, I wondered how he was going to do it. I never seen them stopping for water but I know they must have had water in all that heat.

    They normally do but I guess since he did not lose the weight they did not put him on and that is truly a bummer. People need to see more than the successes. They had a model on who had lost 110 pound from South Carolina.

    If he can run then my *kitten* can run. I cried like a biggest baby watching that tonight. I couldnt imagine loosing that much weight in 3 months. It would be the happiest day of my life. I am tired a living like this and he gave me strength. However, I would like to know what he did everyday or some of it at least. I have looked him up and cant find him. I was going to send him a message. lol
    Does anyone have any idea what he did?

    If you have a facebook acct, Chris Powell and Extreme Makeover Weight Loss Edition have pages. I looked to see if there were any updates on Wally, but there was just some encouragement from Chris. Hoping they update about him soon.

    Great show! I feel for Wally. Addiction is brutal, in any form. I also have a crush on Chris. :heart: He is so sweet!

    I love this show. I'm glad that they showed that sometimes people really truly struggle with food. I was so sad though. I love that Chris invests not just his time but also that he is emotional invested.

    Chris is a cutie!! I just love all these weight shows because they do inspire me to do more too. I can't run but they do inspire me to do more for sure!

    I'm standing here watching the latest episode of this on Hulu. Can't believe how much better this show is than Biggest Loser.

    Chris, the trainer, is a lot more realistic and employs a good kind of "tough love" to the participants.

    (Though, side note: not sure putting a 350 lb. guy on a road bike in 100+ degree heat was much of a good idea at all. Dangerous with traffic, dangerous to him for heat exhaustion which he obviously had. The challenge with the first girl - Rachel - a hike and bungee jump seemed much more sane in comparison!)

    I totally agree on this one!! I was trying to figure out were they even stopping for water.
