    I"ll definitely be watching it tonight. Its going to be pretty brutal for those families. Total shock, in a good way though. I love Jillian Michaels, I can't wait for 8:00 pm so I can watch the show.

    Did I misunderstand something with tonight's episode??? When they were in the gym making their promises, the dad said he wanted to lose 50lbs for the daughters wedding. The wedding was in 6 weeks and he lost 48lbs. How did he lose so much weight so quickly??? I don't get that. Even the mom lost 34lbs - that's a considerable amount in only 6 weeks.

    Yea, that is a lot. but when you think about it, the heavy you are the quicker and easier it is to lose weight at first. Just like the Biggest Loser contestants who lose 8-10 pounds a week, that's basically what he did. 8lbs x 6 weeks = 48 pounds.

    I'm 330lbs - started at 350lbs and I've never had that kind of loss week to week. I've only had that my 1st week and then it tapered off. I wish the would've shown more of what they did to lose the weight. I really thought that was lacking.

    Definitely a quote that I scribbled down as well! Loved it, really true when you think about it, since she kept saying it too. lol

    Man she's such an awesome Bad *kitten* I would love to have her kick my butt an hour a day! There's no excuses or wimping out with her. I love how she just is in your face about it!

    I wondered if the family knew the show was going to pay for the wedding- such an elaborate beautiful place and wedding- truly was gorgeous!! They all looked great too!

    interesting to see the young daughter still looking great, but going through all the inner turmoil, and unable to see herself successful.

    Yay! I love this show! I'm watching it right now. My new fave quote-"I'm not killing you, are are killing you!" I have to remind myself of this quote when I'm doing my 30 day shred!:laugh:

    I loved it, but I love Jillian Michaels. I would love for her to come kick my butt and yell at me. I loved the comment the Dad made about how he thought she'd be bigger lol

    The family really did look great at the end, Jillian is a life changer, it must be so rewarding helping people like that.
