....for viewers to see larger folks losing will give them so much more hope then I'm sure they have now!!
I'm a realist. The show is great and I don't want to kill anyone's enthusiasm for the show ... but if I was able to go a month or so without my job and be able to focus only on weight loss I'm 99.99% sure I could lose weight
The killer (not making excuses) is time. People have to work for living and in this economy they have to work either two jobs or extra hours. I don't even have a family but I struggle to work my job. Work extra hours running clubs and intramurals. So I'm putting in 10 or so hour days. I'm trying to fit in a boyfriend. Taking grad classes (cause for whatever stupid reason teachers basically have to have their masters done within 6 years of teaching - I agree with more education but why so soon after getting educated do I need more education) Plus, I'm desperately trying to find a job in a different area and have to go through the hoops that teachers have to go through to find employment. At the end of my work day - I am exhausted. Not physically but mentally and that does affect the physical. I have no desire to workout.
In the end, I workout I feel good. But afterwards I might have an hour or so left in my day then I go to bed and have to start all over with the same stress and time constraints.
So back on my point - biggest loser good show and inspiring to see how great people look after losing the weight - but in the real world its hard and my hat goes off to anyone of you that is surviving and making it work! :happy:
Very true!
I'm pregnant with baby #3 and right before I got pregnant I had managed to lose 22 lbs of the 50 I had wanted to lose! lol
The ONLY way I could with two kids running around was to TRY and get my 40 mins of exercise a day. It's really hard when you have a life to live, kids to chase, etc!
It's nice and inspiring though- I can't WAIT to have this baby and get back on track with exercise, and hopefully breastfeeding will help! lol
ok, so I'm rather fond of the former model friends team
and the young girl..with sort brownish hair with a blonde streak that weighed in at 364....ok, to bad I don't recall her name:blushing: :huh::noway::laugh::laugh: guess I'll catch it on the next weigh in tonight
off ot excercise before it comes back on. love this challenge Jeannie and Laura and some of them started with the excercising on commericals...IT ROCKS:drinker:
ok so I like the models and the daugher on the purple team...for particular reasons, no clue on their personalities, I merely like them right off the bat as they remind me of myself
oh I think her name is Kristen from the purple team...guess it's the weight I wanna watch as she goes down.....
I cant WAIT to see Danial (orange team) at the end of the season. I think this team motivates all of us. From the biggest to the smallest biggest.
I've enjoyed my first day here, and I'm looking forward to many many more.
I LOVE THIS SITE !!!!!!!!!!!!
Amen Sista! When ya work for a living and have school and have other projects, all that stress takes its toll, and can inhibit weightloss (stress hormones or something, I believe).
So, Hats Off To You! You've lost 5 LBS so far, on top of all that you do :happy: Great Job!
