The biggest loser...  

Yeah, i know about this show though ^_^ I like the concpet of it, but i find it cruel too.. lol =D Because if one is seriously thinking about losing weight, they should not be joining the reality show even.. As it's a team work, and everybody should encourage each other to try harder..

But in the show, that's not the case.. Which ever team loses for that episode, they will have to nominate someone for elimination or, if anybody who is not trying hard enough to lose the required weight, they will be booted out..

I mean, everybody's metalbolism rate and energy leves are different, thus the entire show is not really fair to everybody..

Well to be honest I had thought of going on the biggest looser a couple years ago when it first came about. At the time I weighed in at darn near 300 #. It just never happened. The wife and I started doing our own thing to loose weight and it has worked for us both. Today I still can loose a few pounds at 230 but not near the blob I was before. My wife has lost over 100# in the last two years and is very happy with what she has done and what she has accomplished. By the way we watch the Biggest Looser every week. It is a weekly show over here and they start with about 30 people and weed down like you had mentioned. Most however stay on the ranch and work out with the trainers. Sometimes they will send them home for awhile and then bring them back. Great show.

It's not only interesting, but it's a money-making concept, because do you know how many people there are thirsting to shed off those unwanted fats? Plenty! I guess it's a win-win for both parties. I believe the participants will have a better knowledge of their health, more disciplined toward weight control, and become healthier individuals. Who knows, they might even get some advertising opportunities from the sponsors! If this show concept hits town, I'll definitely encourage my friends to give a try, especially those who have been unsuccessful in weight loss programs
