Default If a TV show came knocking...

...would you agree to go on?

Would you, could you do one of the weight-loss segments on, say, Dr. Phil or Oprah or Tyra Banks? Could you, would you ever do Biggest Loser? Remember, as your incentive, at the very least you'll probably get a personal trainer and a year's gym membership, and probably a copy of the host's new book or DVD. And you'll be on TV!

By the same token, you'll be on TV! You'll have ALL your business exposed on TV. Including your current weight. You may even have to be in a bikini.

So, given the potential rewards, would you, could you do it?

I couldn't.

Nope, I couldn't do it for a bazillion dollars. I'm a very private person. Not even my husband knows how much I weigh (But of course I have no problem sharing that with thousands of people here on 3FC, ) I just can't imagine having everyone seeing me in a skin tight sports bra and shorts. Sounds like the stuff nightmares are made of!

The only one I would even concider is The Biggest Loser. Even then they wouldn't probably accept me since I don't have as much to lose as most people that go on there. I would like to meet Bob in person though.

It would be nice to have a personal trainer and to be able to get the knowledge of how to actually work out to get good results for me and my body type.

But there is no way I would go on any other show. Period. It would be too embarrassing and uncomfortable.

That's so funny, Quirky! My husband doesn't know, either! And as long as I'm drawing breath, he never will!

I wouldn't go on one of those shows either - they really zoom in on those flabby areas and taunt you pretty bad.

Nope I couldn't do it.
I think of that every time I watch The Biggest Loser. I would love to get all the benefits that they get from being on the show and how good they look when they are done.
But the thought of being on that monster scale in spandex and a sports bra just isn't gonna happen here...

I'd do it in a second.

Which is odd because I'm the most self-conscious person ever. For some reason the idea of being on one of those shows doesn't bother me. I think it's because your showing everyone you recongize a problem and your working to change it. Plus to me the benefits would be well worth it, especially on Biggest Loser.

The Biggest Loser...YES I would! I am very self-conscious but...I would have help to get the weight off and it would be awesome! I've watched the show and saw the results of a lot of the people and I would love to have that kind of help, for free!
