Locals on NBC's BIGGEST LOSER....

The photographer....:jester:

 

thought i would pee my britches loling when bob said he had been possesed by gillian michaels!! :lol:

 

I was so inspired by Daniel last night. I cried when he was making his way up that hill because I know I would be in the same shape trying to do that. God bless his heart . . he's surely a trooper.

Does anyone know when the finale will be?

I was yelling at the TV when Daniel's partner was ordering 2 hot dogs and fries and a coke. WTH?

 

i was too! not smart boy!

 

I am always truly amazed at what these folks accomplish and what it must take for them to do so and I can't imagine the numbers of people that it motivates to try and get healthy, but it seems impossible to me to even get close to duplicating what they are doing for their rapid weight loss. The controled environment they are in for their eating and then the amount of time they spend exercising is unreal. I think in a way as long as folks don't expect to lose weight at the rate that they do on the show it's a great thing, but weight loss is one of the most frustrating things in the world and this may set some people up for huge disappointment and then subsequent giving up on their motivation. But truly, I think that these folks can survive the grueling workouts and diet is motivation in itself that all things can be overcome no matter how much you may think not - even if you can't get the same results that they do.

Ok...I'm totally getting back with my serious diet today. All this talking about being able to do it is giving me my confidence back. :cheers:

 

My husband and I laughed so hard at Bob last night. I never thought I would see such a soft spoken person like Bob loose his cool. When he turned his back to his team and the camera was on him, he took that calming breath and I just busted out laughing again. And then at the weigh in when he said he was possessed by Jillian, that was the icing on the cake!
Next week should be even funnier. Joelle's partner will be back and she seems to be the type of person that would keep her on track. But last night if that 1 lb weight had not been added, I have a feeling they all would have voted for Joelle!

 

I loved the show last night!!! I've truly been inspired and can't wait to keep this up. I've only lost 4 lbs so far but hey, it's a start and we all have to start somewhere. This show motivates SO many however, I really wish it would caution folks that this type of weight loss in a week is NOT TYPICAL!!!! I used to be a health & fitness specialist(yes, you'd never know by looking at me now--LOL) and realistically, people should lose 1 to 2lbs per week in order to keep it off. Honestly, w/ work and family, how many can exercise 8 hours a day and have chefs prepare meals for them? Doesn't work that way in the real world. Maybe that is why they are showing hte workouts at home. But I don't know if the home poeple are working out 8 hours a day or are back to work as well. Love the show but want them to warn people weight loss takes time. My cousin so far has lost 90 lbs over last year! He has a bit more to go but definitely under 50 to go. He did it all on his own w/ cues from Biggest Loser but took it S-L-O-W. I think that is key here. SEt up a plan and stick to it. I will do a before and after picture. Showing no one the before picture until my after is taken--LOL.

This show is so great at what they do. I was sad to see Jerry go but OMG, did you see him after?! I was in shock. I said if that 63yo can do that and look that good now, I sure as heck can. Wish Joelle would have gone home. HOpefully, her partner can kick her back into the groove. Can't wait to see how this season ends. Does anyhone want to tell what their starting weight was at the beginning of the Biggest Loser season? Or should we all save it till the finale show?

Now, I'm going to get off this computer and go for a walk around the neighborhood! Good luck everyone in the battle of weight loss.

ok.....i fell asleep last week before the ending. where is daniel right now?

boy dem gals are going at it! :boxing:

 

I don't know where he is. He was not sent home last week.

I wish they would tell us why he's not on there!!!

 

we're watching it right now and he is at the weigh-in

 

But he wasn't at the first challenge.

 

yes....why was he not there? made me nerbus!!! next week will make me cry!

 

Why would you cry next week?

I can't believe that they didn't vote off Joelle, just crazy. But, I think they did what they did cause she is not a threat to the rest of them. At least at this point.
Daniel was at the weigh in, I didn't notice that he wasn't there.

I noticed that too...I couldn't figure out what happened to him but he was at the weigh in. Strange.

 

Daniel wasn't at the first challenge because he had a medical problem and was seeing the doctor. They may show some of it next week.

 

Hope all is well with him now. He is really looking good.

What does he think of his partner eating what he wants while he's home? I would be mad as hell like Joelle's friend.
