Understanding it doesn't necessarily help - on the one hand I knew why I was in such a funk but getting out of it was a challenge I feel I am winning.
I have 2 more shifts I have to do at work then I have 2 weeks off.
I have read here about the TV show "The Biggest Loser" and have never seen it. I know there are those who adore it and others who are less sure of the long term implications of it on the contestants. I decided to watch Season One and have just finished it.
I DID enjoy it and took away as my lesson the need in me to work harder than I do on fitness. I am going to push myself harder in the 2 weeks off work to workout and maybe try out a class at the gym. If you want the results, you have to work for it....and the contestants on the show who really committed to working hard at working out got their rewards. ...Like the winner..Ryan Benson
I will start season 2 soon so don't tell me any secrets from the show!

From just about day 1 ....
I watched your size go down down down!
Winner!
I am so glad you have your mojo back! I love The Biggest Loser! If you are like me (and I think you might be) you may want to stock up on some tissues! I cry EVERY episode!!!
I actually love the Biggest Loser to, and I turn to it for motivation. I love seeing people that are just like me, face their daemons and make such great changes. I'm all for that!
I love/hate the Biggest Loser - just doesn't seem overly realistic for most people (who can take time off to focus only on weight loss and exercise - and who can keep that up?) -- but I did find it encouraging overall. We had a Canadian version here too.
BTW, I saw a woman today who looked just like the "new you"!! In fact I thought "there's Dawn!!" :) (she looked great!)
Dawn
Maybe it is your height but you sure don't look like you weighed 330 pounds!
Even so, I'm glad to hear that the funk is lifting and I hope that you really get to enjoy your 2 weeks off.
By the way, how did you get to see TBL? We only have freeview and I've never seen it on there - is it on Sky or something?
Hi Dawn!
I can tell you this because it's not a spoiler from the show itself. Ryan didn't keep his weight off, he gained almost all of it back. I think that's the problem with how fast they lose their weight. It doesn't give them enough time to adjust to the different eating style.
Don't get me wrong, I LOVE Biggest Loser and have seen every season. But several contestants have gained back all or part of their weight.
Now, this is not going to happen to you, you've done it slow and sensibly, and I am soooooo proud and happy for you! HUGS!
The Biggest Loser is a very motivational TV show. Losing weight isn't just about the weight lost, but the lifestyle change people undergo to be healthier and better people. It's great that you are very successful in your weight loss journey. You're an inspiration to those who want a lifestyle change. Keep it up!
