Biggest Loser 2009 - Couples 2

[Eeyores Butterfly]

Thanks for the clarification, that makes more sense.

UTAHMAMA: It's great to see you here too! I guess we're stalking eachother, lol.

I thought I heard somewhere that Bob used to be overweight at one point? If that's true, I would think that it would give him a more personal connection with the players, but it seems to be Jillian who gets more personal.

As to rate of weight loss: A healthy rate of weight loss .5-2lbs average a week. Anything more than that is considered very dangerous if not done under medical supervision. I wish they would show more of the medical supervision that is done, because people need to realize that doing this on their own can have some horrible consequences.

The on gripe I have about this show is that I think it presents a very unrealistic picture of weight loss. I can't count the number of people who come on the Weight Watchers boards and are devastated that they *only* lost two pounds that week. In reality, that is a great weight loss for a week, but between the Biggest Loser and those stupid diet drugs that promise 20 lbs in two weeks, people no longer know what is a safe and reasonable rate of weight loss. I strongly suspect that this is one reason Americans have such a hard time losing weight. They have these very unrealistic expectations that go unmet, and they give up because they are discouraged.

Merry Christmas!

You TOO!

Ok...screw Jan. 1st! I started back dieting hard core today. Grrr. I'm cranky since I haven't goten rid of the treats yet. Eat up, kids!

I love Bob and Jillian equally, but for different reasons. I think I'd need both of them.

Me too...... and between them and the BODYBUGG I just ordered for myself this morning.... I might see a lb or two come off?!?!?!

I can hardly wait to get my grubby little hands on that thing!

last season was awful This one HAS to be better. Why can't they just play fair and show us what they are eating and how they are losing. And...Ally could lose a few herself!

Ally was sporting a baby bump on this last season- she's due towards the end of January.

You do know that Ally was pregnant right? Yeah, she looked a little chubby this season but I have never thought that before. I agree though..terrible season. After Colleen left I was only watching in hopes of Michelle winning. Could hardly stand anyone else who was left!

thanks, very interesting...

okay I am in. Read the thread. Last year I dropped weight and am in a better place, but not the actual place I should be. Hoping this will help.

Just for the record I am not much into the game-players and IckyVicky made me say things I have never said before in my life, there-fore I was unable to post them either.

Hey everyone....I really need Jan 6th to get here.

For starters I am quitting smoking, again. I have been off the wagon for 6 months.

I need to eat healthy. How the heck do you do that anymore? I am so sick of "food". Does that sound crazy?

And then exercise and toning is top of the list.

I am really going to give 2009 a shot at coming into a better lifestyle.

Ok since I was listed as being on the old thread, here I am. Does anyone know when they taped this season? I only wonder because Allie is going to be very big if it was this fall. It has been fun watching her pregnancy progress on Days, they hid the last one.

I have to agree, hopefully there will be no game play like last season.

 

[The Mystery Machine]

I don't know but she has be right? I know she is due Jan 20th.

As far as "game play", I think that it will happen but hopefully not to the level of the last season.

I believe they started taping in November, at least that's when I believe Jillian started talking about it on her radio show. Up until 2 weeks ago, they were still taping. Hopefully it will be done in time for Allie to relax a bit before her daughter's birth.

I am excited for the new season to get here.

And FYI for anyone who wants to get motivated, they are showing a BL Marathon tomorrow all day on Bravo. I'm not sure which season it is though.

Happy New Year, all! arty:

I thought I saw Heba at Target last night, but she wasn't quite tall enough. I started to back a few steps for a closer look, but thought no way was that person near 5'10".

I received am email about the marathon. The pictures shown were from this season-Biggest loser Families, so I am assuming that is what will be shown tomorrow. last year they showed an earlier season--I don't want to devote a whole day to beatch Vickie, and her cow friend-Heba.

Looking forward to Tuesday though

It's not this past season they are showing- it's another season.
