The biggest loser show (biggest looser)

Oh suck!

I'm sure a breast reduction would be better than actually getting implants, no? They'll remove skin and kinda put them back to the correct position.

I dunno, I'll look into it. I'm typing out loud...

for real? or just spamvertising to get links?

Not sure what you mean. Yes, I trained him for real. If I was after links I wouldn't put them in a forum as the those links aren't worth too much with the search engines. I just thought fans of the show may be interested!

In my experience, the excess skin can be a problem with many people. Usually though it's not to the extent that Adro had. When we got him down to the late 80's (kg), his skin would slap a bit when he ran. He also had a problem with chaffing on is nipples which was caused by his 'man boobs'.

He has just recently got out of hospital after having the first stage of his surgery (tummy tuck). In about a month he's going in to get his boobs and arms fixed up. He's filmed the whole lot and is amking a documentary on the process. At the moment I'm trying to convince him to put a preview up on You Tube.

I googled about loose skin after weight loss and I found this that had these tips:

1. Follow a well rounded balanced diet such as my insulin response diet located at .

2. Follow a full body exercise routine alternating with a split routine every 4 weeks. For example, full body routine 4 weeks, split routine 4 weeks, full body routine 4 weeks, and so on.

3. Considering you don't have stomach ulcers and you are not on blood thinners you should also take ONE TEASPOON of cold artic cod liver oil ONCE PER DAY with your evening meal.

4. Take 1000-1500mg of lecithin per day. Lecithin has been known to increase the elasticity of the skin.

5. Anything you can do to increase circulation will also help. Skin brushing techniques are very good. Do a search on the internet for skin brushing to get all the info you need. Deep massages are also good.

6. Most importantly if you are more than 75 pounds overweight DO NOT try to lose weight too fast. The more you weigh the easier it will be to lose weight on this program so ease into it slowly so you only lose about 3 pounds per week. Doing this will prevent the sagging skin. If you lose weight too fast you will end up with loose skin 90% of the time.

7. Some of my clients have done weekly body wraps with great success but it can get messy. You can do this as an option but it's really not necessary.

As an option you can also take a supplement called collagen.

Does anyone agree with this????
 
Whilst changing your weights program every 4 weeks is a great idea (for everyone), I can't see how it would effect the elasticity of the skin.

And body wraps??? Not likely!

Hi all,

Many of you who aren't from Australia have probably never heard of Adro but he won the Aussie series of The Biggest Loser.

Anyway, rather than jump on and tell everyone what's happening with him I decided to take a camera around to his place today so he can tell you himself!

Im watching an Australian Biggest Loser on TV here now (repeats probably).
They have the same trainers as the american ones. whats up with that?
 
I heard they had a Biggest Loser marathon on.

Yes, the trainers were Bob and Jillian but they will only be involved for 4 weeks in season 2. Then a couple of Aussie trainers take over

Biggest loser club

Does anyone know how many of the people who were on the biggest loser managed to keep their weight down after a while?
 
Looks like Tues. Sept 4th there will be an episode of the Biggest Loser where they show people who were on the show and see if they've gained it back.

Just found that snooping around google.

Biggest Loser Workout DVDS

P.S. I just bought 3 "Biggest Loser" Workout DVDs... Power Sculpt; Cardio Max; and Jillian Michaels. I did the 1st phase of the Cardio Max and LOVED it and will do the Power Sculpt on alternating days. Anyway, just thought I'd recommend them!

I've never been a big fan of TBL, probably because I've only ever seen 10 minutes of one episode that was in the middle of a season, but the family aspect sounds interesting so I'm probably going to check it out.

I'm not much of a TV person, though, the only thing I watch on American television is, ironically, the USA channel, haha.

Is TBL cheesy? Weight loss reality shows tend to be..

I love it! I am a fan of the show, so I guess my opinion is somewhat biased :eek: But I would recommend starting from the beginning so that you get to know the personalities and you know what's going on. Yes, it can be cheesy sometimes. Almost all reality shows are. I think the cheesiest parts are when they do product placement. It happens like once each show and for like 2 minutes everyone is kinda ooing and ahhing over Nabisco 100 calorie packs or Wriggly's Sugar Free gum....It's kinda funny IMO and a little entertaining! haha! But definately watch the first episode...they will probably give a lot of background to the people on the show.
 
I know that real health gurus are WAAAy against the show...BUT... I LOVE it. Mostly because I harvest a lot of motivation from the show. Honestly I can not enjoy watching it if I have not exercised. I feel too guilty! lol So, I either run before it comes on or ride my elliptical while it is on. That wat I can watch it with the satisfaction that I am doing well on my diet/ exercise and losing weight the healthy way.

I just really love this show.
 
I have watched each season in full and just LOVE the show! :hurray:

I adore Jillian! :biggrinjester:

I can't wait for Sept. 16th to get here!
 
K, I'm with you. I look forward to TBL every season. The show does so much good for so many. I love seeing the participants have so much success. It's easily my favorite show on TV. We'll have to have a running thread during the season to compare notes!

Tiff, I haven't heard that about health gurus being against the show. What's the reasoning for it?
 
Well, the root of that matter is that the way and speed at which the contestants lose weight is not ideal...or very realistic. I think those who are against it oppose the health risks to a viewer who would try to mimic the losses of a contestant. I think most who are against it would view it as a crash diet (which I am not sure it isn't) and that it is not very healthy.

The thing about the health issues that conflicts me is that there have been several contestant who were borderline diabetic and saved themselves from that by the end of the show. So even if the speed at which they lose weight is not ideally healthy, it does obviously have some health benefits to some individuals.

Either way, I LOVE the show and will continue to sit on the edge of my seat throughout the whole season. :)
