The real tricky part is going to be when they go back to the real world and try to continue to lose weight and then maintain it.<br /><br />A little while ago, I happened to have Oprah on, and she had the winner of the first biggest loser as a guest. He gained back HALF of the weight he lost!!! He was in the process of losing it again, but the reality is, it didn't stay off because he wasn't working out like before and not eating like before.<br /><br />I'd like to see Heba and Vickie and their husbands now to see how they fared. (the meannness in me is secretly hoping they're all fat again. they were a hateful group!)Joaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08943128638748507880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-933205011038630788.post-23778432914248223032009-04-29T08:59:00.000-04:002009-04-29T08:59:00.000-04:00This was interesting to read since I don't wat...This was interesting to read since I don't watch the show (except for those back-to-back reruns in February where everyone was so nice)--but you wrote a couple of things that have stuck out in my noggin, so here ya go:<br />In 17 weeks they dropped 100 pounds by purposeful exercise and a controlled diet.<br />That is amazing!!!!!!! I can have a "controlled" diet--I'm the one who does the grocery shopping around here and 99% of the cooking. The thought alone is empowering. And with my new walking program and awesome new puppy that I hope walks me like Jillian's evil twin sister someday, I can get off my bahooey and put more effort into my health instead of dwelling on the many reasons I don't.<br />These people have been GIVEN an opportunity millions of us will never get--but what inspires me is their Before & After pics--they started out bigger than me, with more weight to lose--and I LOVE that they mentioned one gal was 48 years old! that's how old I am--so it helps me to squash the idea that I'm too old to lose weight.<br /><br />Of course, their motivation is money-based as well as the physical, but like the one gal said, she got her life back. I want that feeling too.<br /><br />Great Post today Amy!Momzahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01078211684662158122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-933205011038630788.post-60109454754621434112009-04-29T01:05:00.000-04:002009-04-29T01:05:00.000-04:00I have to admit, I came here before the show ended...I have to admit, I came here before the show ended California time. I saw the weigh-in and figured it would be Felipe they voted off, so coming here only confirmed that.<br /><br />It hasn't been said, and I'm not a Mike and Ron fan, but they were the only team that stayed intact and neither on of the two ever went home.<br /><br />After Helen weighed in Jillian made the comment about Helen being on the pink team. Last two winners have been female from the pink team.<br /><br />I think I'll be rooting for Tara in two weeks. She never went home or fell below the yellow line.<br /><br />Should be interesting! And I guess I'll be watching an NBA playoff game next Tuesday night......Lakers, if it's their night to play!Debyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07313754829308802528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-933205011038630788.post-32968114042738476082009-04-28T23:49:00.000-04:002009-04-28T23:49:00.000-04:00I know you don't want Mike to win, but I can't hel...I know you don't want Mike to win, but I can't help but to see MY son in him. My son struggles with weight issues (maybe not to the extent of Mike) and there are only a few years between them. I am rooting for Mike. What a changed life this boy will have who has never been thin before, and to have it at an age where he can surely enjoy it. Plus, in all honestly, I probably would have played it the same if I were in their shoes. Well, except I would have admitted it. <br /><br />And you know I am not a huge Ron fan, but to be able to do what he did with his broke down body is amazing to me. I deal with back pain that keeps me from working out or even getting up at times. I know first hand how hard it is when you hurt so dang bad. Ron didn't do this for himself either. He did it for his son, and for that I can totally understand! A parents love... ah nothing like it!<br /><br />And wow have these people lost some weight!! They look awesome!! I can't wait to see the others when they come back on! Can't wait to see Daniel!Shannon @ Gabi's Worldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06489515190295297209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-933205011038630788.post-19547684815313141232009-04-28T23:43:00.000-04:002009-04-28T23:43:00.000-04:00Doesn't 2nd place ($100,00) only go to one of the ...Doesn't 2nd place ($100,00) only go to one of the players who has been sent home?Joaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08943128638748507880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-933205011038630788.post-17752996830481305842009-04-28T23:41:00.000-04:002009-04-28T23:41:00.000-04:00For the first time in a long time, Helen was not o...For the first time in a long time, Helen was not on my nerves. Neither was Filipe, which surprised me. <br /><br />It's funny how often we can change our minds about different people from week to week. I have, on alternating weeks, not liked each one of the final 5. <br /><br />I think, of everyone who is there now, Tara DESERVES to win The Biggest Loser. She stayed above the yellow line the entire time and was the only one to do so. She won the last 6 challenges in a row! Tara never made any coalitions except for with her own teammate.<br /><br />I liked Filipe this week. This was a first for me in a long time. He was focused on himself and was not trying to distract the other players to gain an advantage for himself (which ultimately never worked anyway). I think Filipe was correct when he said they were taking the easier player to beat by keeping Ron there. Actually my respect for Filipe seems to be back.<br /><br />It's going to be very interesting to see how they all fare being on their own for a month and getting weighed again. I have a feeling that Ron and Mike just might fall back to old habits. Possibly even Helen. <br /><br />I'm saying this from my own experience. I lost a lot of weight back in 1989-90. I was working out daily. I swore I'd never get back to where I was. Then I got pregnant and have been struggling every since. I lost again a few years ago, got back into regular size clothes. Swore I'd never gain the weight. I'm now 10 pounds more than I was when I started the weight loss/work outs back in 2003. I think, of everyone, Tara will keep it off.<br /><br />I hope, next week, we see a good weight loss with Tara and Filipe. And in the finale, I hope Tara wins and Filpe gets 2nd place. I'm done with the brown team.Joaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08943128638748507880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-933205011038630788.post-31535737042195346332009-04-28T23:37:00.000-04:002009-04-28T23:37:00.000-04:00This is sweet!!
