Biggest Loser show

Did anyone see the Biggest Loser Tuesday night? They had a challenge where they were in teams of three. Each team member's favorite meal was on the table. They each had to guess the total number of calories in all three meals. When Ali went through and told them the calorie counts, it was shocking. Sunny's favorite was a Mexican platter with all the chips and salsa you could eat...4100 calories! That's my calorie allotment for 3 days! They were all quite shocked at how many calories those dishes contained. I think the lowest calorie count was 1749 for ONE meal. That's more than my allotment for the day. Quite a wakeup call for them and me. I don't advocate losing as fast as they are losing, but I do like to watch the challenges, especially the ones like this where you see calorie counts and such. Makes me much more aware of what I'm putting in my mouth.

I think an interesting thing was that nobody really had any idea. They were just pulling numbers out of the air. Had NO clue. Not sure I would have either. I look at things now..and i record...can't say I remember. That's what happens when you get old!!! :laugh: Thank God for MFP where I can record it and don't have to remember.

I read somewhere once that their weeks were not true 7 days. I love the show, but the thing that bothers me about it is that is not realistic. Nobody can really spend 8 hours a day in the gym. It's very motivating though and I'm thankful that now when I watch it I'm not eating a huge bowl of ice cream at the same time! LOL!!

I love Biggest Loser, hate the drama. Losing weight is enough drama without stupid game play. I'd prefer to see the voting portion of the show removed and have eviction based on how much weight was lost. But that's just me.

Of course, regardless of the format I would have loved to be on the show when I was 300lbs .

I think that was the lesson for me...guessing is usually going to give you numbers that are WAY off. I remember when they revealed Sunny's 4100 calories...the look on Antone's face was priceless.
