Calorie Killers - Chat (10/23-10/29)

Looking forward to another good show...and this time getting to watch it live finally! (And getting home before 8pm for once :) But bummed it will only be 1 hour yet again.

Commercial Challenge:

In honor of tonight's episode named the drop:

I can't remember what these are called. You bend your knees & jump in the air throwing your arms above your head. As you land back on your feet, you keep bending your knees and touch the ground with your hands and then immediately push back up with your legs to a jump with your arms overhead...and cycle.

For a harder version, when you land & bend your knees to touch the ground with your hands, instead of going straight back into a jump, you punch your legs out into a pushup, then back to your hands and then back up into the jump...and cycle.

If you have bad knees or something find an alteration like wall "squat" holds or something.

    Wow, right off the bat, stakes are high! I would be nervous about the possibility of losing my trainer for the week.

    Go blue team! So excited that they kicked butt for the challenge. They definitely need their trainer. Glad white team has Jen for one workout. And I love how the read team is working together to do what needs to be done. This episode is pretty good.

    Did one set of the commercial exercises. They are tough. I'm watching with my dad so I think I'll do more of the exercises after while I'm watching my other shows.

    Very curious to see how the weigh in turns out for the red team after a week without Dolvett.

    Liked seeing Joe from srason 14. He was a favorite. I love Gina. I am glad she can stay at Comeback Canyon. Rob has changed so much in the 7 weeks! He has a completely different attitude! Scott is very hard on himself. Blake is in onederland. The Blue team is not doing well! Happy for Matt!

    I like the update about Matt and being able to make it up the mountain then asking his girlfriend to marry him. One of the reasons I wanted to lose weight is cause when j was out of state visiting in-laws I tried to climbing a mountain and couldn't make it to the top and I said next time I visit I will make it to the top.

    I had to watch the show on demand this week. It was a great show. Lori's talking about how she wasn't there for her husband when she had her miscarriages was so sad. The red team did great, even without having Dolvett there. I LOVED the update from Matt at the end. (great proposal) and loved seeing Gina get a shot at Comeback Canyon. Previews for next weeks show looks like it is going to be a good one, but not for somebody. =(

    I did wall squats during the commercial breaks.

    I enjoyed the show this week... I hate seeing team blue (I love me some Jessie!!!) get whittled away though! Dolvett's team did awesome and I really like him as a coach. Still just NOT into Jen!!! I miss JILLIAN!!! Next week's show looks awesome --- I actually started my weight gain spiral with a trip to Vegas last March - I gained 20 pounds between March 29 & July 4th - & I can TOTALLY relate to eating & drinking out of control "when in Rome!!!"

    I did the first version of (what I think are called) burpees - can't do push-ups or planks due to a wrist injury as well as some squats!

    Great show I'm just so sad that the blue team is just not doing well :( They will probably break up teams at this rate with the blue team having so little people left will see. I think Matts proposal to his girlfriend was sweet and glad Gina got to stay another week at comeback canyon. I also did wall squats for the challenge during commercials.

    Hi, l finally managed to watch last episode and l did 10 burpees while watching it.

    My take on the episode 7 is that obviously it's not how hard you workout for you to lose weight. I just can't believe that one will lose only 2lbs after all that regimen of workouts and strict diet. I truly feel sorry for the blue team but then, l am happy that my team, red team, won despite not having their trainer, Dovet. Anyway, the lesson here is that we shouldn't be too hard on ourselves if and when we happen not to lose weight in a week.
