Biggest Loser

OMG....I watched last night for the first time in forever! Those stories were just heartbreaking! I teared up a couple of times...especially on the Green Team where the girl has lost several babies due to her weight.

It really is an eye opener not to let things get out hand and do something about it!

I love this show, I have been watching it since season 2. I agree the stories are phenomenal, but on the only hand who can spend most of the day at the gym! They lose alot of weight in short amount of time, which many of us just can not do at this point of our lives. Nor is it safe for us to outside of the 24 hour ranch with medical personnel standing and watching your every move to keep you safe. Last night , I also saw people passing out, throwing up and unable to keep up. There was one season that Kia, was there she share the in/outs of the behind the scense of what really go on. Very interesting read. Any way, I still love the show and glad there is a new twist with unknow trainer... it was getting kinda of boring with the so, so stuff happening.

Last season was the first time I've watched it. Fell in love!!! This season I'm super excited about watching Rulon after having seen the episode of " I survived " or whatever it's called that he was on and nearly died. Very inspiring!

I'm guessing you are in the US as I haven't seen it advertised in the UK? Am I missing something?! I've only seen one series over here and that was when I was on maternity leave in 2008/2009. I loved it though and found it really motivating! x

I have watched it since season 1 and one of the things I like best about the show is for many it is educational. It educates people on the lives of many who are super morbibly obese and shows many how a person gets there. The average super morbibly obese person is not going to discuss this issue with others.

So I think the show highlights their pains, struggles, etc. It helps others not to think the person is huge because they want to be. I get my tissues out every show. Unfortunately I have to watch it later because I am not at home on Tuesdays anymore but the show is phonomenol. And I am sure you all have noted that the contestants are getting heavier with every show. I give them a thumbs up for just putting their pain out their like that because I would not have the courage to put my life and mental issues out their like these contestants have. I can't wait to look at it tomorrow or Friday!

I have only watched a couple of seasons, but my wife and I are for sure watching this season! I love all the tips and learning I do while watching the show. I do envy those on the show for being able to lose so much weight so quickly, but I do realize that isn't possible in our real life situations.

I haven't watched it in a while but I watched the premiere last night. Two new trainers is an interesting twist. We'll see how the season turns out. I feel bad for the big guy on the blue team. Over 600 pounds? YIKES!

I did not know they had someone on this season who weighed 600. That is the highest yet. Who are his trainers? I hope it is Jillian and Bob since I doubt the other ones have really worked with anyone that size.

I think Patrick won if I remember right. Sad thing is the Biggest loser that got kicked off really won. the first and 2nd place BL "winners" really finished 4th and 5th place.

Yes it is motivating and fun to see how FAST they change. Some of the exercises they do seem unsafe. Ok if the guy is 350 lbs why is Jillian at 120 lbs ?? on his back? his poor knees ! Also seems unsafe to just throw them into 5 or 6 hours of exercise a day. Maybe they build up to that rate before they come to the show.

Lastly, does anyone leave with eating disorders ? If the game is on the line as far as weight goes, ive heard they go w/o water all day to lose more Im sure they do other things also to get the weight as low as possible before the big weigh in.

I always watch it tho ; )

I agree it is rare the Biggest Loser wins the money. This is the 1st season that neither of the Biggest Losers won 1st or 2nd place.

I love the show and watch it every season, I did miss the first couple of seasons though but now I never miss an episode. I can't wait to watch this season and watch the people change and for us to start learning their personalities so I can decide who to cheer for. I always want all of them to do well but I like to have one or two people that I like best. :happy:
