The Biggest Loser ~ Season 10 ~ "Paying It Forward"

[disneymom3]

I agree completely with the bolded .

I love Jillian, much more than Bob who I don't really care for...BUT...I'm over her forcing "breakthroughs". I get that there is sometimes a psychological reason people are overweight but there is also sometimes NOT a reason other than eating too much and being lazy.

I'd also like to see the exercise as not being torturous sometimes.

I did find myself last night trying to figure out what trauma I had gone through in my life to make me overweight. But what it comes down to is, I drink soda and I hate excercise.

Looks like next week we go back to the Regular Yellow line -- in its correct place. No more 1/2 the players being under the Yellow line.

REally? Where did you see that?

I also find myself wondering why the "deck is stacked." I mean, yes, the women will lose a smaller number of lbs but if they weigh less their percentage is dependent on that.

Because overall women simply don't burn calories as efficiently as men. Their bodies are genetically programmed to hold onto body fat - especially women who are at or past childbearing years. There are exceptions, a couple of seasons ago Tara had a metabolism off the charts the way she dropped those pounds.

But overall a woman has to work incredibly hard to burn calories like the men do.

I think just like so many other shows it has run its course for me.
I may put it on just because the TV is on anyway. I couldn't tell you anyone's names or their stories.

I hope everyone does well but just not into it anymore. The last one I liked was with Tara and Mike.

 

[Michelle and crew]

I don't think that it has to be a traumatic event. Sorry. I do know about the physical issues play a part. Sometimes a big part. But eating more than we need, and exercising less than we need is not good for us. The fact that they/we, in general don't take care of ourselves is based on priorities and how we feel about ourselves. I have been there. I was affected by a non functioning thyroid, but I also tended to eat what was easy, rather than taking care of myself and my needs.

It is highly unfair that men burn easier! My husband can skip lunch and lose 5 lbs. I hate him.

Sorry if I offended. I wasn't clear about the trauma of those contestants and the general issues that lead to poor decisions. I will keep my vague thoughts to myself, lol.

I thought I saw it in the previews for next week.

I thought I saw it in the previews for next week.

I heard them say that too...that it will go back to the normal way with the weigh in at the end and the line will go back where it belongs.

I agree that was a great season. And I don't know anyone's name this year, except Fredo. I've been recording it on the DVR and zipping right through a lot of it. I don't think it's the change of the yellow line; the contestants just aren't catching me.

No comments about yesterday's show? I listened to the contestant voted off - 2 hours at the gym before work, then 1 1/2 before dinner and another 1 1/2 hours after?? That's 5 hours per day at the gym!

Sorry, but no one's going to convince me that that's healthy. The contestant has simply traded one obsession (food) for another (exercise).

That contestant needs some REAL help, not the pop crap they get on the show.

I am sure they won't keep that up after the finale. They are still playing for the $100,000. prize.

Mind you they say people who have surgery to lose weight turn to another obsession like drinking. That is why Jillian is always saying you have to get to the root of the problem. But I am like others. I don't think there is a root other then I love food.

The game play is in full force now.

 

[Pembo]

I'm watching. This season's contestants are unlikable to me. There is too much game play not enough worry about the weight loss.

And for anyone who didn't watch...we're black vs blue.

 

[PixieDustandEeyore]

I really enjoyed last season I found the transformation of Michael amazingggggg and of course the pink ninja Ashley was fab!

I just think people are focusing too much on becoming rich or "skinny" it needs to be more about becoming healthy. Biggest Loser used to inspire me last September I lost 100 lbs between September and April... but this year if I was looking for inspiration I'd be more inspired to play risk as they seem like strategists more than wanting to be healthy.

Ada is the only female pulling decent numbers and she doesn't even seem that impressed.

I love how the Dread locks guy said something like he was going to be a lean mean Dread machine!

Wow! Congrats on your weight loss.

[jenseib]

I'm still watching too, but I am finding this season kind of boring. I loved the shorter episode and the really fast weigh in

 

[Diznygrl]

There was a short episode last night?? My stupid DVR is supposed to record all new BL episodes, but there was nothing there when I checked today. I just assumed there was no show last night because of all the election coverage.

 

[Pembo]

Anyone watch last night?

I'm so sick of all the game play and I really hope that Brendan doesn't win. I can't stand that guy!!!

and Lisa with the chocolate tart!!! That would be me...two months with no chocolate and I'd skip the entire meal to eat the dessert. LOL

I hatl the game play, Agh it gets good people who really want to lose weight kicked out.

 

[PixieDustandEeyore]

I hate gameplay...they should have voted out Lisa and Elizabeth. Lisa kinda undermined with the chocolate tart...but good job Elizabeth on a good week! And even bigger good job to Jessica it seems something has clicked for her and thats AWESOME! She should really work with Ada more often lol!

But wow Jesse was looking great and Aaron they looked pretty average weight to me(to me average is an AWESOME thing )
