I missed it and I'm a dolt -- what channel is it on? Does anyone know if they're re-running the premiere?

I was surprised that Chasity Bono only weighed in at 215....I would have thought more like 240 to 250. I mean she looks much large the Tempest who is only 25 pounds lighter. I wonder if they fudge the weight a little?

Peeper, I agree, I thougth she looked bigger but I missed the part where they show them with all their stats. I didn't get how tall she was, plus she looked bulky the way she was standing so that may be why she appeared larger.

Many people weigh in heavier than they look, due to many reasons including musculature (under the fat!), bone size, etc. Two people who look tsrc

Didn't Chastity Bono have a high fat index, like around 40% or something?

I don't think being told to lose 4-6 pounds per weigh in is sensible! I don't know how many days they have between weigh ins, but generally I think 1-2 pounds a week is considered sensible.

I think they usually have two weeks between their weigh-ins, although they condense it into one show.

I think that Chastity is a lot shorter than Tempest and that is why she looks a whole lot bigger, when you are tall you can pull off carrying more weight.

Actually the first 3 weeks of weight loss can be more dramatic then 1-2 lbs. After that you settle into a loss of 1-2 per week (so much water the first couple). You can lose more, but stats say it will not stay off and is not really safe.

Dr. Arthur Frank, one of the top obesity specialists in the country, once told me that the maximum safe weight loss was 10% of your body weight the first month and 8% per month after that. He says that if you are eating less than 1200 calories per day you should be under a doctor's supervision, and even under a doctor's supervision you should not eat any less than 600 calories per day. By the way, the "month" he referred to is 30 days, not 4 weeks.

wow that was bizarre with Jeff C. He definitely is turning out to be the alex baldwin of this season--and I could tell Chas was honest about it scaring her because she sees the same pattern that she was in..

Yup, I was torn between being disgusted by his behavior and feeling sorry for him. If he doesn't get himself straightened out, he's going to die young. I thought Chas was very sweet and compassionate. She was very patient with him, but he's not in a rational place right now. He's very defensive and belongs in a treatment center--which it sounds like may be where he's going next week. I hope he makes it.

Did anyone see the picture of the cast in US Weekly. They identified one of the cast members as Jeff Conaway, and unless my eyes are deceiving me, it was totally not him in the picture. Wondering if he's replaced very soon. The other cast members looked about what they look like now, so in regard to weight loss, it has to be very soon.

P.S. Loved Bruce's comment when he was stepping up to the scale, "I took two Ben & Jerry's before I came here." Ha!

I think the previews to the next show sort of tell the tale of Jeff.

The rest should all be pretty proud of their behavior. Usually these b-list celebrity shows are to out the sad egos of the people, but most of these people know who they are and have realistic goals set for themselves.

This is a nice change, a competitive show where you can cheer for the participants and hope they make their goals - although appearing in "smooth" magazine is nothing I would really support in the lives of my friends.

I agree, Sadiesmom, this is pretty much a "feel good" show. I do find myself rooting for the contestants and wanting them all to do well. It really is a health issue for a lot of them (like Bruce and Biz).

As obnoxious as Jeff's behavior is, I also want him to get well. I've known a lot of addicts over the years (runs in my family, although fortunately for me I don't appear to have inherited that particular gene). Most of the alcoholics and addicts I've ever known are great people, once they get sober. I really hope he makes it.
