Default Big Losers

I thought we could start a thread to talk about the happenings on NBC's "The Biggest Loser." Since it is a subject near and dear to our hearts, I think we might have plenty to say about it.

You can get more information at http://www.nbc.com/The_Biggest_Loser/

It's coming on now!

Poor people! I feel so bad for them because they seem so shocked at the numbers, especially that one who started crying after she weighed. I can't remember her name but I'll figure it out soon.

OK--I did manage to use the gazelle for about 30 minutes during BL tonight. That's pretty good considering the circumstances. I feel a little bit like I could throw up now, but I also feel good for sticking to my goal of exercising during the show. Who knows, maybe it will help work out whatever is making me sick.

Go Girls!!! I was so proud of them! I've gotta say, I'm more motivated than I've been in a while to work out hard tomorrow.

Those people are also working out constantly with trainers and are being fed by nutritionists. It isn't a world that most of us will ever be able to duplicate!!

Okay, here's an idea. Why don't we join as a group and pitch it to a TV network that WE would like to be on a reality show to lose weight and inches. It obviously can't be NBC (since that's been done!) but what about the others? It could sorta be a show about chicks who met online and have formed a tight group ... and who are all struggling in one way or another to lose.

?????

Sounds like a great plan to me! You never know, someone might actually go for that. Talk about motivation...

Sandra You go girl!

Default Motivating or not

Considering it has taken me about nine months to lose 47 pounds; I could not believe the weight loss in that first week. I know it's an unreal situation; but I was still asking myself "where is that camp and could I afford it?".

I still find the show does inspire me. I have the "if they can do it, so can I" attitude. I have been trying to change my workout routines, and get better at writing down everything I eat. I have been on a plateau which is driving me bonkers; so I needed something to kick me in the pants and get me going again.

Kathy - I'm in - tell me when and where to show up - not sure which is my best side? ha ha ha ha

I sure agree that this would be extremely motivating as we would be scrutinized by the world!

Well I missed it this week. But I have a good excuse--I was exercising!! So I guess I still held up my deal to exercise during the show, I just didn't get to see it.
Did you guys see that the 3fc mods started a whole BL forum?
