Did y'all hear NBC will have a new The Biggest Loser show for children aged 13-17?

I'm intrigued.

    I seriously hope they take a more realistic approach to the younger kids than the adults. That could seriously damage a child for life!

    I'm staying out of this. I can only imagine the debate that's about to ensue.

    I hope they don't use the same exercise and diet techniques as the regular show on them but then again that wouldn't be as entertaining...

    Without even seeing it, I am already disgusted.

    I hope they involve the entire family and not just the kid(s), teaching them all how to live a healthier life and workouts that are age appropriate.

    From what I saw, the kids will not have any of the same competition sort of stuff or "boot camp" style yelling. Nor will they be weighed. It will be about "fun" activities/exercise and learning how to eat right.

    Honestly, I can't criticize The Biggest Loser. There was something I saw on one of there shows where the doctor was speaking to this woman about her high BMI and how it was at the point where organs were beginning to be pushed around and squeezed from the fat. Her BMI was only 2 points higher than mine. Hearing that was among the several things that eventually lead to me making a choice to make a change. So while they might not be taking the best route with weight loss, the show does bring awareness.

    As for involving children... I think that it should not include children. Especially, if they are going to be as verbally abusive as they are to the adults. Also, I think appearing on that show could be harmful to the child's psyche in the long run, even if they manage to keep off the weight. I don't like putting children on reality shows of any kind.

    That's my thought.... Honey Boo Boo is damaged for life.

    But it's "Biggest Loser". Nothing healthy about it.

    this needs to be repeated. hopefully that is how the show will handle it.
