    That's why I like Extreme Makeover Weightloss Edition. They give you 1 week at a spa then they go home with you stay with you for I think 30 days then leave you still set goals for you. they check in with you all the time there are cameras in the home they set you up with a gym if your not doing the work the trainer comes right to the house. also they take the time and teach you how to eat. All those people lose a little slower than the Biggest Loser but they seem to lose at a good pace and keep it off. It's more realistic for me.

    This is what John Hussman's website says re: not eating enough calories. Don't know him or endorse him, but this resonates with me....

    "NOTE: If you are having trouble losing weight, it is wishful thinking to believe that eating more calories will help. Do not use the BMR calculation as a reason to increase your caloric intake. Even if you were taking in far too few calories, you would still lose lots of weight, but part of it would be muscle. So if you're losing neither fat weight nor scale weight, most probably you're eating too many calories that you aren't counting. (I write this because the research on this point is clear). You have to run a caloric deficit when you total it up over the full week, counting any free day. Sadly, some people use the BMR calculation and their free day to justify overeating. This is unfortunate. The only way to lose fat is to create a persistent, daily, sustained caloric deficit. Eating more frequent and smaller meals can help, but it is is superstition that simply eating more will help you to lose fat."
