Didn't Carnie have her stomach stapled a few years ago?

Yep she did Darrell. I think she's trying to lose baby weight like Erika and Tina.

Carnie had gastric bypass surgery, but it's not a magic cure for obesity. People who have had the surgery can still gain weight back if they're not careful, and most of us give ourselves permission to indulge when we're pregnant. Now she's trying to lose the baby weight (me, too, and it's been nearly 6 years!).

If Angie doesn't have the discipline to even take her diabetes and blood pressure medications every day, how is she going to find the discipline to change her eating habits and lifestyle? It's a shame, since it's so late into the season now to be looking for someone to replace her.

Meanwhile, Carnie needs to realize that the doctor was right about surgery not being the best way to lose weight. So many people who have it done still struggle because they never dealt with the issues and habits that got them so obese in the first place. Her comments about how people over 400 pounds aren't going to lose the weight naturally were not what Bone Crusher needed to hear. She needs to tune into the Biggest Loser and see just how much weight people can lose without surgery.

Meanwhile Tina Yothers seems to be the biggest loser (so to speak) on her team. Usually it's the men who drop the big numbers, but she seems to be the MVP there right now.

I liked it when Angie said she was "mentally" running the treadmill.

Curly - I totally agree about Carnie. Her comments about how Crusher would automatically have all those symptoms later on and really has no hope of losing the weight or keeping it off, were pretty bad. I think Carnie actually played the judges. She starts in on the doctor touting the surgery and how wonderful it is. They start arguing. Then by the time it's her turn to weigh in and she hasn't lost anything, they don't give her a hard time about it. She even has the nerve to later tell Angie what she's doing wrong.

I get tired of her always promoting that surgery. Yes, some people need it, and it works well for them. But, there are also risks, and I was glad they pointed them out, too. I was surprised when she said how she only eats the three meals. I thought that after gastric bypass, you could only eat tiny amounts at a time, and so had to eat more often. She seems to really want to be the one in control - over the judges and over the others.

Tina Yothers has done really well. She seems like a person who loves competition, so this type of set-up seems to really spur her on.

I wish Angie would try for the sake of her own health, but she seems pretty set against making any real comments to change right now. If that's the case, then she should leave the show. It's not fair to have the others coexisting with all of that negativity. Believe me, I've been around some people in work situations that ooze negativity. Nothing can drag others down faster in such an environment. :-( Losing weight can already be such an emotionally charged endeavor to begin with; so someone with a negative attitude will only bring things to a boiling point sooner or later.

Angie is totally in denial about her health. My gosh, not to take your diabetes or high blood pressure medication for two weeks, and then to start smoking again? What is she thinking??? I know that stress is a big reason people smoke (been there, done that), but she just doesn't seem to understand that her life is in danger. On the one hand, she says she has all these health problems (heart condition, congestive heart failure, etc.) that keep her from competing, but she won't take her medication to get well? Yikes!

I really felt the frustration of Carnie and the others when they were trying to talk to Angie, and she just kept making excuses. Do it for yourself and your children, woman!!! Don't you want to hold your grandchildren? I just kept thinking, "Man, that's one hard-headed woman!" I hope she sees herself on TV and realizes what they were trying to tell her. It's not about the "contest," it's about her health.

Just to put something out there. No, Gastric Bypass surgery may not be the right choice for Bone Crusher, however less than 15% of people who have 100 pounds or more to lose are able to keep it off long term. The more weight there is to lose the lower that percentage goes. Losing 100 pounds or more is MUCH different than getting that last 20 off after childbirth. Gastric bypass (RNY) has been considered the "gold standard" in this country for weight loss. It does provide a quick fix so to speak, but it doesn't always give a life long solution. There are ways to eat around the surgery and sabotage the weight loss. There are a very high number of RNY post ops who gain back a significant portion of their weight because they haven't dealt with the mental/psychological issues behind the weight gain in the first place. Weight loss surgery is not a miracle cure nor is it cosmetic. But then again, many of the other contestants also need to address their psychological issues for being overweight and determine if they really are ready to lose it. I don't think Angie is ready to lose it for whatever reason.

Angie was really impressive last night. Her complete change was surprising, but she did seem really sincere and she did work hard.

Carnie's the one who still frustrates me. She never minds telling anyone else what to do, but she's only lost a pound in the last two challenges. Somehow, though, every time she stands in front of the judges, she starts in again on the importance of bypass (is she the national spokesperson for this?) and then they don't yell at her for not hitting her goal.

You can sure tell that the celebs are getting more physically fit. Every one of them did that mud crawl pretty well. I'm not sure, though, that it was such a great idea having them out there in that kind of heat.

It seems like there are more of them hitting their goals and really doing well than in the previous fit clubs.

Erika looks FANTASTIC!!
As done Tina!
Good to see Angie getting it together.
Carnie fustrates me as well..
Impressed with Bone Crusher as well and hope he continues to suceed.

I have a friend who I love dearly that is 5'6 and 280lbs as of now she's 'healthy' but does have back problems (apparently from weight) she does not have a job therefore no insurace and therefore can't afford to get any medical tests done etc..back in May she began to have chest pains etc..went to the ER and they did and EKG test, Blood work for blood clots and a chest x-ray THANKFULLY everything came back negative and actually told her she had a heart like abull..she's only had sucess on the South Beach Diet but finds it hard to be motivated..she's in the process of writing to a few talk shows to see if they can help her because she's scared if she does't get help she may not be around for later in life..mind you she is only 28.

Angie's change in attitude was really something. I suspect it had to do with having Harvey supervise her workouts all week. Once she realized she could do it without getting sick, she must've felt a lot more confident. Still a little disappointing that she didn't lose any weight, but at least she had a better attitude and gave 100% at the challenges.

I feel bad for Tina as far as the competition goes because she's the only one on that team who can really drop the weight every time. They lost a total of 4 pounds that week, and 3 were from Tina. Ted met his goal and now wants to build muscle, and Vinny and Angie are either staying the same or gaining. Meanwhile Bone Crusher can drop a good amount every week. Unless Angie and Vinny start having big losses, I don't see how the red team can win.

I think it's pretty silly to have Erika on this show. The girl is 5'6" and now weighs 130 lbs! That is perfect. I thought this show was for people who really need the help?

But didn't she start out heavier? I can't remember what her initial weight was. I think that kickboxing class really helped her alot.

Think she has lost 40 lbs. Granted that is not as dramatic as someone who is 100's of lbs overweight, but speaking as someone who is small like her, that's alot on a little frame, plus it isn't healthy.

ok, I just checked her starting weight is my current weight 152, but it says her body fat was 30%! I don't know what my body fat percent is but if I had to guess I would say around 23-25%. Her goal is to get to 128 lbs according to the show site. I should know how hard it is to lose the last 20 to 30 lbs because I can't seem to do it. So I guess she does fit right in with this show. I would say that she is back on track for sure!

LOL, didn't mean to! Denecee.
30% is high and if it was all in the middle, it put her at a greater risk for diabetes and heart disease.

Gosh, I hope 30% isn't high! That's where my scale keeps telling me I'm at. I'm only around 120 lbs. and a size 6, but my fat percentage stays at 30% no matter how much I work out. I looked it up and it's actually still within the normal range (although on the high end) for my age.

Angie Stone sure has made an attitude adjustment, and she finally lost some pounds. How ironic that it was her and Vinny who carried the team this week at the weigh-in.

This is the most likeable cast they've had yet. I hope future seasons are more like this one.

Carnie and Tina were on The View today. Tina looked great, and Carnie's hair is brown now. They talked about the lie detector test. Carnie said some of the questions were tricky because they'd ask something like "Did you work out 5 days this week?" She couldn't answer that she worked out 6 days or twice a day for 4 days because the answer could only be yes or no.

She maintains that the doctor didn't know what he was talking about regarding the surgery, and that she was insulted because she thought he was saying she cheated by having the surgery when he talked of losing weight the "right way." Then she pointed out that since having the surgery she still struggles with her weight, but I don't think she realized that this was the doctor's point.

Tina was recommending Nutrisystem for maintenance, although Rosie turned up her nose at that (she doesn't like small portions). Tina recommended doing workouts and portion-controlled meals like with Nutrisystem during the work week, and then doing what you want on the weekends.
