The biggest loser show (biggest looser)

I understand there may be alittle lying....its "reality tv" for gosh sakes and thats never "real" :) .... but you also have to factor in that these people are in the gym 8-12 hours a day...i'd say that would add up to a pretty big defficit if they only were on say a 1200-1500 cal diet like i have read(and heard them personaly say during the show) that some contestants were on. As for it being a longer time frame...i truly believe its a week. They only have a certain number of months at the ranch and then go home for a few months before the finale so they can start taping the next season.
 
I am also glad Michelle won. There were a lot of people i didnt care for this season. Maybe it was the way the show made them out to be but majority seemed bitchy or not really interested.

I would love to see these people in 6 months and see how do with keeping the weight off. I am also surprised there are not more articles on how the past people have done keeping it off. I did read the article about the season one winner gaining it all back.

YAY for Michelle!! I'm so happy she won, she looks awesome. I can't believe how skinny everyone was. That show really got me motivated.

If you read through this thread, you'll see my commentary earlier which included this convo between Lyle McDonald and a BL contestant:

Installments makes sense, but these people are killing themselves! Couldn't such large weight loss be due to a major portion of water and hard work? Maybe I just want to believe! hahaha

I'm so glad Michelle won, she had the biggest heart of the final contestants and she was the most likable. How about Ed over Heba. WOW! I was one of the people who voted for Ed, but I can't believe almost all of America agreed with how horrible Heba was during the show. I'm so glad Vicky didn't win, she makes my skin crawl....

Can't wait for the next season!

PS: Steve, for the article you posted, could you explain the water and carbs part. Is BL talking about more carbs require more water? I was confused in that part. Thanks for posting such a great article!

I also am so excite for Michelle. I was on the age of my seat all night and she look fabulous. I didn't vote for either Heba or Ed because frankly I couldn't stand them both. I knew when Ed won over Heba is was because Heba was just god awful throughout the season. All I know is that Vicky didn't win an that makes this a great holiday. :)

Snow day here, but I'm off to the gym because Michelle is seriously my idol. I so want to be her. ha!
 
i was VERY happy that Michele won!!!!

Defently was the nicest of the crew!!! She looked AWSOME at the final!! [well she was darn cute all through the season :D]
 
Hi I am new.
I absolutely love the show.
I always think to myself, if they can do it, then what is my excuse.
Then I get my ass to the gym and do some weights or go to a studio and just dance.
 
Poppi Kramer, one of my favorite Biggest Loser contestants, was on Season 3 and has a blog on her myspace that outlines her eating and exercise regimen (she calls it the "shrinky dink diet, lol). She says it is very similar to what she did while at the ranch and she has kept all of her weight off since being on the show.

Here is her myspace: myspace.com/poppikramer

I was so sad when Bob said that Ryan (biggest Looser 1's winner) gained ALL of his weight back....so sad. Just reminds me of what I read in Randy's diary....this weight loss journey never ends, not even when your at your goal....

i dunno...maybe i'm just emo tonight, lol

I finally got my taped episodes watched and I'm fairly content with the winner. She was the best of those left.

I could not stand Vicky!!!! I predict she will gain back all her weight and more. It's sad too, cuz I really wanted to like her cuz of the kids.
 
I was happy Michelle won too, I had a feeling she would. It seems it is coming back early January. So is it 2x a year now? That's great, I love that show.

I was thrilled to see they're coing back in January. Going 9 or 10 months w/o my Biggest Loser would be painful...esp during these dark, dreary winter months when it's so much harder to keep motivated and moving.
 
yea, me too!! I LOVE the show :D

I saw Michelle on some magazine cover today..US weekly, I believe, she looks great :)

I saw that too. I was in line at Wal-Mart, lol.

I can't wait until the new season. I'm happy that they chose people with the worst weight problems. It makes the show more worthwhile, and inspirational. I took a sneak peak at the off. site, and I've already found the team I'm rooting for.
 
Has anyone bought the Biggest Loser cookbook? I was browsing the store a couple days ago and was wondering if it is worth it. I love that they list the calories, carbs, protein and fat of each diet, but I was hoping someone bought it and if it was worth it.

Can't wait for the new season!
 
I'm with you all. I'm thrilled Michelle won. Didn't like the Witch neither. That's what my wife and I called her while we watched the show. (Could never remember her name... Brady's wife)

We also didn't like Heba much. Ed's somewhat annoying... But not that annoying. We felt bad for Phil. They were nasty towards him for no reason.
 
That show is awesome and gives me so much motivation! The amount of workouts they do (6-7 hours a day!!) is unbelievable! The transformations are amazing...

I am looking into the BL dvd's, two disc set, does anyone have them?
 
Looks like it should be a fun season!!!

Not sure I like that they sent so many home though. Not a fan of that at all!!!

HUGE looses last week!!! Wonder how its going to pan out....
