The Biggest Loser!!!

Suzy was so cute!! Her personality is amazing...so bubbly!

I wanted Seth or Suzy to win, not Matt. One minute he's too arrogant, the next he's crying. Decide already!

I couldn't believe Pete-AND his wife! Wow.

I didn't cry.

Suzy's dress was wrong, why didn't she go with something more form fitting?

And what was with all that kicking she did?

Jillian's boobs looked like they were about to fall out of her shirt (DH said so).

I wanted Seth to win.

Pete was amazing too. 

But... the show was a bit looong IMO.  

I cried like a baby from start to finish.  I Love Pete and Dr. Jeff.  They all looked so good.  It is very inspirational

Oh shoot- I can't believe I missed it   I forogt it was on!!  I wonder if they have before/after pics posted online?  I'll have to check- I really want to see them.  It's so amazing to know that ANYONE can lose weight with a proper diet and exercise.  I wish more people would realize that.

yep, they have video.

somewhere on www.nbc.com

Suzy had skin sagging from her arms. I think on last weeks episode they showed one of the guys, maybe Jeff, with a lot of loose skin. 

I'm pretty sure dark clothes (Suzy, Seth, and Matt) and stage lighting help...

Did anyone catch that the winner (Matt) has now started racing Triathlons?

Now way!  That's awesome!  Maybe he'll join BT and his username will be "biggest loser".

I was thinking about this in general...not just against the females.  Of COURSE the folks with the highest BF% at the beginning have a huge advantage in this game!  Straight up percentage of weight lost isn't the right way to go because like you said...some people mathematically could not win no matter how much weight they lost.  I think in the first Biggest Loser they used some crazy formula that did percentage of weight loss but incorporated change in BF% too.

Now that I'm done replying to that...I was so totally addicted to this show!  Watched it almost EVERY week!  I think it's a great concept!  Other thoughts:

1.  Yes, everyone (but Kathryn) looked fabulous on the finale!  Wow!  The three finalists almost looked too thin though...I mean...Seth needs to gain back a few pounds.  I know they probably went as low as they could to give themselves their best chance of winning...but I hope they realize now there is no more game and they need a healthy weight.  Those that remember Gary from the first Biggest Loser...he says on his website that he had to gain a few pounds back after the final weigh in.

2.  I feel SO bad for Suzy!  She lost $25,000 by one pound!  Oh, how frustrating...I mean...that's WATER weight...you gotta wonder about that...are there rules about how hydrated they have to be?  For that finale you could totally throw the results off by 5-10 pounds just by dehydrating yourself.  And think of the gamesmanship you could do throughout the several months on the ranch just by playing your fluid levels when it suited you....

3.  One thing this show definitely got me thinking about...I couldn't believe how skinny people ended up looking.  When I saw them at their fattest, I thought to myself...well, they will get thinner but that person just has a large frame too.  However, I was definitely proven wrong!  I've always felt like no matter how much weight I lost I wouldn't look smaller.  Like Suzy, I have always worn a double digit size.  Even 20+ pounds lighter than I am now I was still a 12.  But the show made me wonder....

Okay, that's enough musing.  Suffice to say...I love that show!  Can't wait for round three!

This show was GREAT!  It just goes to show you that if people take care of their bodies and put their mind to it they can really increase their health and make themselves less of a health concern to their loved ones.
