I am super excited about this season because the yellow team is from our little rural town!

You have to admit — the majority of the BL contestants *have* kept their weight down way below what they started at. I think the one exception is the Ryan guy from season 1

One of the challenges the contestants face (Biggest Looser) is sustaining their weight loss after the Program. They do acheieve impressive results during their time on the show but in most cases not sustainable going forward. I recently started on a dieting system “Beyond Calories” – I have achieved very impressive gains in such a short time however yet to see if it is sustainable in the long term.

Hi James,
I have not, but am in contact with 2 Crossfits in the area that are just waiting on me. I have decided to push my Crossfit training back to about March. Congrats on the success!

Hiya Israel,

Did you end up trying the Crossfit class at Tampa South? I’ve been Crossfitting for about 9 months now and have had great success (I’ve lost about 30 pounds of fat and kept it off, I’m stronger and have added muscle mass). I have found that the high intensity group training sessions have kept me very motivated.

From what I have heard and read, not all Crossfit gyms are made equal. A good Crossfit coach is a stickler for good form and reliable. It is really sad that some Crossfit outfits aren’t reliable, but that can be said about service provider.

I also mostly follow the Crossfit version of the Zone diet which while it may go against the grain of popular diet philosophies it certainly works, in my experience.

Great blog. All the best with your quest!

It is funny that you mention THE BIGGEST GAINER. I am skinny man, and the first time I saw the biggest loser, I was like they need to come with the opposite. Your blog is such an inspiration I am lunching my own, which will be the opposite of yours off couse.

I was having server issues. But it appears to be under control for now. Thanks for the concern.

I guess they are running out of ideas and wanted to switch things up with a “twist.”

Thats amazing….Being fat doesn’t mean they are not fit. Hope the strong person wins!
People should have a winner context for those undergoing different programs.

Yeah I don’t see why they would make it “couples” theme, only to send 9 of the couples home.

Yeah, the product placements have started getting way more prevalent. I used to like when it was just a sponsor that sponsored an event. I think they need to branch out into Biggest Loser High School, or BL College, etc, or BL Sports. Or even better, and remember you read it here first….

THE BIGGEST GAINER… boom.

I think the biggest loser is at the top of it’s game. They just keep pumping out the episodes and I’m glued to the TV. I don’t like the twist this season though. How pissed how you be if you were sent home with the hope of coming back and your partner gets voted off in less than 30 days? Terrible, but hey that’s TV.

It took me almost 6 months to lose what Jerry did in a week. I need Jillian to kick my butt

P.S I hate the product placement segments, they drive me crazy.
