Hope Amber has done better than I have this summer, sitting on my behind at my computer watching my summer addiction call BB. Think I have gained about 10 lbs. Back to the gym for me!

Yea! I love this show. I find it very inspiring and hopefully motivating again so that I will get back to the gym and lose some weight. I believe I read where Ryan...winner from BL1 gained back most of his weight and Matt had put on quite a bit also...maybe they too will be remotivated. Maintaince is the hardest part. Soooo looking forward to the show tonight. }

I thought it was great. It was awesome to see Jillian back in action and Kim seemed more likeable to me so far...it has only been one show though.

How do people get on The Biggest Loser? They find a weigh-in.

Am I the only one who watches this while stuffing their face with mexican food etc? I was eating a homemade burrito and quacamole lastnight and wondered about the irony (yes I could stand to lose some). Then the show went off the air due to local election coverages.

Cindy RFLMAO!! Actually I look forward to this show to keep my diet on track. I usually watch it while on the treadmill. I PVR it so I can skip commercials... 45 min show = relaxed 5KM run. I loved the premiere, went so fast.. great pace. I think the Black team has a great advantage for at least the first month. My reasoning is that the first two weeks they have the ultimate motivation out there in the desert with Jillian, knowing they will be surprising the others. Then they move to the campus gym where their bodies will not be used to the equipment, they will be less likely than the other two teams to hit a plateau.

I love this show!! I am sooooo glad that Jillian is back-- she's my hero! I find the whole show so inspiring. I also find myself tearing up as watch (I feel like Amber from BB, yikes). I think Jerry and Kae are awesome too. Really like their attitudes so far. I think this season is going to be much better than last, I didn't care for the personalities too much last season. I'll be heading to the gym for my 4.5 miles jogging on the treadmill. Geez, I would love to be trained by any of the BL trainers. What an opportunity for these peeps! Go team BLACK!

Cindy...Gidget...I enjoyed tacos during the show last night...lol I kind of miss the ranch. I guess they are staying in dormatories this year huh? And the black team...I wonder what their lodging is like...hope it is not the "Last Chance Gas" station or whatever that was, doesn't look to accomodating. I wonder if Bob and Kim truly do not know about Jillian and her black team??? Well it seems Amber didn't exactly tell me the truth. She said she made it several weeks and lost 40 lbs at the ranch. Oh well, to each his own, I wish her well and hope she does make it to her goal of 150 lbs. Those last 2 weight ins...Jerry and Kae, I believe...unbelievable. How in the world do you lose more than 30 lbs in a week??? hhmm

I wish the guys would stop taking their shirts off before jumping on the scale. The dang thing is a constant, will weigh the same week to week so taking it off is a completely useless gesture. LOL Hubby thinks the producers probably tell them to do it so we can better see the weight loss. Makes sense but it annoys me anyway.

2 reasons they lose that much weight in the first "week". 1. First weigh-in is after a meal and lots of water (you watched Matt do that on purpose two years ago when he knew he had immunity so he could so a huge weight loss the following week). 2. Lots of water is lost with a diet that is so restricted as theirs (100-150g total carb for the day) so all that activity/exercise causes the body to pull out stored carbs from the muscle & liver, resulting in water loss at the same time. Significantly very little "sedentary" time compared to their home lives (they are active probably 5-6 hours of the day) and very motivated to stick to a meal plan that is probably just enough calories to cover their Resting Energy needs, not enough to cover the constant activity.

Rissa, if they are going to make the women wear those little sports bras and spandex pants, then it is only fair that the men have to remove their shirts for at least part of the weigh-in. Why should only half the contestants be embarrassed while standing around during that time? (or at least I would be embarrassed in that outfit, maybe they aren't)

Those sports bra always bothers me. They could all wear a decent T-shirt during weigh in.

Ok, it was Amber Walker I met at 24 hour Fitness with her mom Hmm, Boberg, she was the first one booted and I thought she only lost 8 or 9 lbs. She did say in her post interview she's lost 40 or 60 lbs. since the show. She's looking good. She was my least favorite on the show. I just watched the episode today, because I promised myself I would work out while watching the shows and the timing was right today. So far, my favs are Jez (he reacted so nice when he thought he was going home) Bryan, Amy and Kae, the spunky one, lol. I love the idea of them having the Black Team working away from the others and then surprising them.

Cindy, they could at least get them the sports bras that go down to their waist, rather than those skimpy ones.

Why didnt the black team weigh in? Are they going to spend 2 weeks losing weight and not getting credit for the weight loss?

You can see the Black Teams weigh in at the Biggest Loser site. I guess they didn't have enough time to show all three teams weigh in....plus its a way for their website to get more traffic.

I'm curious about their attire also. Towards the end of the season don't they were tank tops? Like all spandex to show off their weight loss. Why can't they wear something similar early on. Quite frankly I would be more comfortable wearing just a sports bra on top towards the end of my weight loss than at the beginning.
