While I was channel surfing last weekend, I saw the weighing in of the show "The Biggest Loser". In this weigh in, the contestants have to weigh in an see how many pounds they lost after a week of none-stop workout. As I was watching, I can't help but be amazed that some of them are able to loose 13 or even 20+ pounds in one week. I know they have the help of trainors but still it's a feat in itself. I mean, I have been working out and all but I haven't lost more than about 3 or 4 punds in a MONTH! Wel, I am not sure if this is even true but I want to give them the benefit of my doubt.

I agree with the poster that people shouldn't lose to much weight in one week. Its important to lose weight properly to keep the weight off for the rest of your life. Recently, I learned that one of the winners has gained some of the weight back and I can see that would be easy to have happen.
I know that either trainer on The Biggest Loser would be able to help me get the weight off. The real issue is for how long would I keep every pound off? One of the biggest problems for me is the smell of fresh baked bread can quickly get me into the kitchen making my own bread.
The show does bring awareness that some Americans really need help losing weight and they are going to die without help losing weight. Its clear that people need to make lifestyle changes by eating differently and getting more exercise.

The real issue really is KEEPING THOSE POUNDS OFF. I guess, for mst of us it is easier to get it off. A few days of crash diet would do the trick. However, if we don't change our lifestyle in general then those pounds would be back again with some other pounds making their way in to our body too. So in the end, our crash diet backfires. I agree that it has to be a lifestyle change to maintain a healthy body.
