Not a huge fan of the show. Also not as 'anti' show as I once was. But I just signed up for the Biggest Loser Run/Walk in my town so I got interested in how they are doing now.
This is a pretty well laid out fast read. I'd say most are doing pretty well if this article is accurate. The first one you come to is doing the worst so keep reading.
I went to the link and did like seeing how a few of the past contestants are doing. But, that article only took one or two, mostly winners from each season. There are what...15-20 contestants each time? I would be a interested in seeing real results, percentages, pictures, etc. of a lot more of the contestants before saying whether they promote long term weight loss. I have seen some pics of other regainers before...Courtney who won the Subway commercial deal looks to have gained quite a bit back. I can't remember any of the others off the top of my head, though.
Oh yeah...about tonights episode; not thrilled that they brought back the yellow line, the voting, etc. and tonight is the perfect example of why. They vote off the competition and keep the slackers that they think they can beat later. At least some of them admitted it, I guess. But, it stops being about the Biggest Loser and starts being about popularity, alliances, drama and voting off anyone who might have a chance to win the minute you get the chance. Boo.
Felt bad for Tanya...goodness. Girl can't catch a break with her weight loss. Wonder why it's just been so low for her?
Honestly, as much as I draw inspiration from this show, I really do want to see a show of ALL of the previous contestants from past shows and what they look like today. Did they keep it off? why or why not? I mean, it's great to lose over 100 pounds, but when you're not killing yourself ranch style afterwards, how did you maintain the weight loss or how much did you regain because you weren't working out so much a day?
I saw this thread pop up on the new posts and I almost clicked on the last page. Then I remembered I haven't watched it yet! I wonder if I can find it on my phone and watch it at the gym today!?!?!
