Biggest looser?

I agree with you for pretty much the same reasons. I know I'm lucky to find 30-60 minutes to exercise. But at the same time, I've never actually watched a whole episode all the way through. I mean, it doesn't take a genus to figure out if you workout 8 hours a day you'll lose weight.

I do like watching the biggest looser, but also agree that loosing weight that fast is not good. I feel they will gain the weight back if they dont stick to the hours and hours of exercise they are putting in each day. I think they are offered extended privaleges to work out at a exercise facility near by but not sure how long that last. I also think the 2 looking for those cards in the slots along with the food were enjoying every bite of it, for the show they said that the food was making them sick, ya right those cookies looked good to me lol.

I also dont agree. They are getting the chance of a life time to change their health and there ways. Of course its filled with 8 hours of excerise, but we dont see alot of what is going on, learning to eat right, cook right, and giving and getting the support they need. And remember its a show, and its a ranch, they are away from home, what else would they do all day long, might as well excerise and get the weight off while they can. then learn to keep it off when they go home. I say you cant lose weight fast enough. but the key to it all is to keep it off, and i feel that most of them will but not all of them. Just like a lot of us on here, we lose the same weight over and over again, we have to make our mind its a life style change and stick to it. If I had the chance to lose all that weight, that fast, i would be damn if i would turn around and put it all back on after such hard work. good luck to them all

I like the show and I have learned some really good tips from watching it. The trainers do give the contestants good information to go by, how to eat healthy and how to face difficult times without relying on food. Sometimes I think Jillian goes a little too far trying to make people cry so that they will bring their feelings out and deal with them. But it is important for people to realize why they gained the weight and learn a new way of dealing with their problems. Of course it's not healthy to lose that much weight that quickly, but they do eat the number of calories they are supposed to and they workout 6 hours a day. They are doing it the right way, just too fast, which isn't good. But the whole being kicked off thing is all about the money, it's a game where people lose weight and learn to change their lifestyle. And then when they get kicked off they have to go home and keep all the stuff they learned and continue to work at it. Because they will be on the finale so they end up learning even more than just when they are on camera. They have to apply what they learned and when the finale comes around how well they applied it will be revealed. It's motivation that helps them keep doing it, and we all need a little motivation sometimes.

I watch the show for what it is worth. Entertainment. I have picked up some train ing tips as well. My main problem is that they set these people up to "play games" and then Jillian and Bob come on and act all upset that the contestants went for the scripted bait.
