Biggest Loser "Couples"

I dunno, for a man his size to gain 3 pounds after all that working out? It really doesn't jive for me. He should've at least remained status quo. I bet he threw it with some water drinking.

I might have agreed with you at one time...but just a few weeks ago I put on 8.6 pounds in 7 days.....while restricting my calories and working out for at least 2 hours per day.

I got so frustrated with the weight gain that I went on a diet break for one day. I did not work out at all!! I also let myself eat the remainder of the cheeseball in the fridge and the rest of the crackers I had from the Christmas party platter.

My day of breaking my diet stopped the weight gain. It was the first day in 8 that the scale did not go up. It took 2 more weeks for the 8+ pound weight gain to drop off. I'm still juggling those last pound off and on.

My point is that I know my calorie intake and my exercise for the week that I put on 8.6 pounds. I should have lost at least one pound that week. Instead I put on weight.

Sometimes you can put on weight w/o water loading or excessive caloric intake.
 
Bob & Jillian

I enjoyed the challenge - both Bob and Jillian are in amazing shape - I can't believe how hard they had to push it and how out of breath they were.

I love Bob - other posts remark how tough Jillian had been in prior seasons - but she is a little too emotional for me. Every episode it seems that she is crying. Come on!!!!

I wish the show would spotlight more on foods that the contestants eat - other then Weight Control oatmeal and sugar free gum. Addin in some yummy healthly recipes would be a nice touch.

Overall - I DVR every episode and can't wait to watch. Keeps me motivated and I have to say that I love the Biggest Loser Workout - dvds.

I've lost 15 lbs since October - I just need to keep my healthly eating habits consistent to really get the weight off - currently 157lbs - goal 135.

Drinking water doesn't add the pounds, water retention does and that is due to having too much sodium in the body. Had he drank more water, he might have lost the 3 lbs.

How did I gain 4 pounds in one day?
Temporary weight gain is most likely a result of water retention, which can be caused by eating too much sodium. Water is heavy: a gallon weighs 8.34 pounds. In the body, sodium is found in the tissues outside of the blood vessels. If sodium becomes too concentrated, water rushes in to lower the concentration. The result is puffiness, often seen in the fingers and ankles as gravity pushes water to the ground. To eliminate excess sodium and water, reduce dietary salt intake and drink plain water to flush out the system. In women, the hormones of the menstrual cycle can also cause sodium retention. Certain medications can cause water retention as well.

I agree that the in-show commercials are so cheesy! Jillian seems so fake while doing them.

I was using the weight control oatmeal about six months before the show started doing that, and while it has about 20 more calories than other oatmeals it has double the protein and fiber of them as well. Most beneficial to feeling nice and full in the morning with the combo of protein, carbs and fiber.
 
Those little advertisements in the show are so funny. Like the one for extra gum, their zooming in on her with a big smile, "try this, no fat no sugar and low calorie!" :bigear:
 
I would LOVE to try the Weight Control Oatmeal, but for some unkown reason, they don't seem to sell it in Canada?! At least not in the big grocery stores in my city! :cuss:

I am glad Yellow Team is still on there - together ! I thought it was a good choice the gal they sent home. I love the part of the show where they let us see how the contestant has done with continued WL at home! The whole thing is just very inspirational, and I think one of the most helpful shows on the tube!

Looking forward to next week,
ABBA:eh:
 
I love this show i watch it every tuesday im not as big as the people on the show but its still motivateing.
 
:waving: I love this show! Boy, it was heartwrenching seeing how much short bald guy still loves his ex-wife. I thought it was very tacky that they had all of the team watch the (private) videos from family together, especially knowing that she had one from boyfriend! I thought she handled it really well, though.

So Jackie is gone home now - hope her son can keep up with the WL! She looked awesome in the part where they show how the contestants have done at home! Beautiful! I generally really enjoyed her on the show, but I thought it was totally rude and inappropriate to try and force her team mates to "swear on the lives of their children" that they would not vote her off! That is one vow a parent ought not to make, IMHO. So I wasn't too surprised that they gave her the heave ho. And Yay for Bernie for losing such a huge amount this week!

Cheers

While I liked her and the tactics she used previously to get Black team off, it came back to bite her in the ass. She should have seen it coming. Simple as that. They shouldn't have sworn on their children but whatever... I don't have kids so I can't really judge them on that, nor should she have thought there was an allegiance between the group.
 
I really thought that she was underhanded in the way that she dealt with most people on the show. And I didn't like the way she would always make snide remarks about people. A good example would be Neil and Amanda.
Was Neil working up to his potential, no. But does that mean she had a right to make fun of him? No. And then to involve her son in the "merry-making" just disgusted me. Just shows how insecure she really was of herself.
I was glad to see her go.

Me to she was annoying
 
If black looses again, her son will go home - the four really big guys will protect each other. Yellow made a huge strategic error by not sending the gray team home when they could.

Next week should be interesting.

God Bless,

I wonder why they had bob walk out in the commercial maybe someone gains alot of weight.
 
Unfortunately I missed this beacuse of all the tornados and the power was out, so what exatly happened???

I already read that Jackie went home and who lost what?

What did Bernie lose? Anyone remember? Thanks!
 
Bernie lost the most out of anyone.......13 pounds. Britanny lost the most for the ladies with a 10 pound loss.
On the commercial they were saying something about a Biggest loser 1st and at the weigh in everyone had an astonished look on their faces. The "What?" look if you know what I mean.
I can only imagine that someone tries to throw the game again for some reason.
And Bob has said on numerous times that he hates it when people do that.
So perhaps that is what it could be about.
Who knows?
They definately know how to keep people guessing that is for sure.
Oh and Kelly was crying again.
Who knows.
 
The blue team blew the black team out of the water. Jillian read the riot act on Kelly, Paul and Brittany (I think it was Brit) for pushing their callories as low as 500/day. I wish they would have talked more about WHY they need to keep their calories up. They didn't spend nearly enough time on that at all.

Jillian also said they work out 6 hours a day - wow. Boot camp indeed. It's no wonder they drop huge numbers each week.

They had a temptation - chocolate covered caramels - and the prize was that they could swap one person to another team. One of the big guys on the black team won by eating 49 candies.

The challenge for this week was they had to cook for a renowned chef and make his recipes more healthy. Black team won the challenge and got dinner prepared by that famous chef AND they got videos from home.

At the weigh in, Black team weighed in first and put up pretty respectable numbers adding up to about 40 pounds of weight lost between the 6 of them. Blue team had to loose 28 pounds in order to win the weigh in, which they did. In fact, Paul lost 12, 9 of which counted because he gained 3 last week.

When black team was deliberating on who to vote off, Jackie and her son went to the 4 big guys, thinking to get Trent voted off, but her scheming bit her in the butt when the 4 voted her off instead. They were absolutely not sorry about it either. It's easy enough to tell that the son will be the next one voted off that team if they loose another weigh in.

I wonder if one of the big guys throws the next weigh in JUST for that purpose next week and that's why Bob walks out.

God Bless,
mik

Wow...thank you mikitta! {hugs}

I'm wondering why Kelly, Paul & Brit (or whoever) pushed thier calories under 500??? I agree that they don't seem to deal with the "calorie" aspect as near as much as they should. Seems like they just focus on busting ass day in and day out.

And 49 chocolate candies???? OMG! lol

Sheesh.... I can't wait for next week!
