Ryan only beat Gary by one percent

I'll have to rewatch my tape but I think that it was by ONE POINT not percent.

Women have a much higher fat ratio, if I recall correctly it is about 22% while men are around 10%. Some bodybuilders go on a severe fatburning diet before a comp and can get down even more.

I found it strange that Kelly still had large amounts of saggy skin yet the guys were showing NO signs of their previous weights. Ryan's face (and arms) seemed so tight I am left confused. If anyone lost that amount of weight so quickly how in the world could they NOT be kind of saggy. He isnt THAT young!!

Gary looked good but he was a lot smaller and had less to lose. He also lost the majority of his weight the first couple of weeks. Ryan seemed to lose his weight after he was not being observed...ie/ I'd love to know what supplements he was taking ((wink wink)) Oh I'm sure he'd never admit to taking any LOL

The average adult bodyfat is closer to 15%-18% for men and 22%-25% for women. Men can go down to 5% but women are not safe to go below 12%
****

Guess Kelly never had a chance eh??

Sun, I noticed Gary had a little bit of sagging skin on his stomach. I don't recall seeing Ryan with his shirt off while he was home? Kelly sure did have a lot of sagging skin on her arms.

I am pretty sure they weren't measuring body fat percentage, but the percentage of their total pounds lost compared to their starting weight, which is a lot different than body fat percentage.

Start Wgt. End Total % + Decrease in body fat
Loss

Kelly 242 163 79 33 + 17 = 50
Gary 227 156 71 31 + 23 = 54
Ryan 330 208 122 37 + 18 = 55

Here is what I think is unfair - at some point, Gary said that he reached his goal weight. Well, at that point shouldn't they stop and declare him a "winner"? You can't expect a person to go LOWER than their goal weight to end up with the biggest percentage. This scoring system really favored the person with the most weight to lose.

(TOTAL wussy moment)....I cried throughout the first hour of the show.

Although Gary was my favorite, I found myself relating with Ryan, especially about the amusement park; I went through the same incident that he did, and you have no idea how I felt when I was able to ride that same roller coaster a year later....of course, that was years ago, ha!

Anyway, looking forward to next week's reunion show, I think either Aaron, Andrea or Matt will win the $100,000.

Ach! What was Mo's final weight? I had switched over to American Idol and didn't switch back fast enough!

I think Mo's final weight was around 360 -- he's lost about 75 pounds...

I'm very sad to see that Dave won... Personally, I was hoping for Drea or Aaron!

Thanks, Producerchic. I'm sorry to hear it was Dave who won, but good for him. They really did an amazing job.

Did they give anything to Gary and Kelly? Or was the 'ring' their prize....

Looks like the ring was their prize. And I cant believe Aaron didnt win!! He looked so amazing! Drea too. Oh well, it was still a good show... which was hard to concentrate due to switching back to AI here too!! :-)

I won't watch the next edition of this series. Body fat is not equal in men and women. Not a fair test at all. I guess the fact that I didn't want Dave to win doesn't help my attitude, eh?? lol

I agree, Carlpsmom. Not only was it inevitible that a man would win based on the way they designed their criteria, but the two most annoying, obnoxious people won. How disappointing.

Man, Drea looked freaking awesome.

Yeah the body fat thing just did in the women all round. I didn't want Dave to win and he didn't win by very much.

anyone here remember what DAVE did as a job??? He OWNS a gym!! That is why he used to be obtuse when the trainer was trying to make him do stuff.

ALSO, come on people...Dave has a gym, most gyms have supplement consultants. There is no doubt in my mind that Dave did all kinds of supplements (etc) to rid his body of extra water/ bowel matter/ and never ate prior to weighing. He OFFERED TO MATCH THE MONEY!! if he wasnt under a certain weight. HE barely MADE IT!!

Another sign Dave was doing supplements ETC! is that he seemed slim and trim EXCEPT for his face which had that certain look (bloated cheeks and neck) It is hard for me to describe but I have seen it alot.


I believe Aaron would not have done supplements to loss weight. I dont believe Dre would have taken weightloss drugs either. Dave, well, after running off at the mouth I wouldnt put it past him.

I would have liked to see drug testing on the individuals.
***

Women cannot get really down low on fat, this show proved how hopeless it is. I felt bad for the girls. Only Dre was really in shape and prime weight. I dont CARE whether people con themselves into believing "it isnt what I look like, it is what I feel like inside" that is important.

Most of those ladies were still FAT...and the weightloss that they were able to do AWAY from the show and AWAY from the special trainers was kinda embarrassing. ALLLLLLLL the guys looked slim and trim and great.

Mo, was just MO!! He has always been big and I seriously think he may not be able to lose without complicated medical intervention.


JUST my random thoughts, theories and ideas

Hopeless? What?

This show simply illustrated what we already know: genetically, women are not supposed to be low in body fat. Also, it takes women longer to lose body fat than men.

If the producers were smart, next time, they would divide the women in one group and men in another and reward the "biggest loser" in each.

and the weightloss that they were able to do AWAY from the show and AWAY from the special trainers was kinda embarrassing. ALLLLLLLL the guys looked slim and trim and great.

I'd hardly say what Drea and Lisa accomplished was "embarrassing".

When they were on the ranch, they were working out for hours and hours each day. If I remember correctly, someone said they were doing cardio two hours a day while at the ranch. Who could blame them for, once they got home, actually getting back into their lives and working out 30-60 minutes a day?

While all the guys looked great, many of the woman looked awesome as well.

And I also think some people looking better than others isn't the issue. All of these people are HEALTHIER than they were when they applied for this show. That'w what's most important.
