So is anyone else doing the biggest loser diet? Just curious? My husband and I are, though he doesn't workout like he should.. he is still losing weight though. We just finished our third week.

Where do you find the diet, Misty? We'd be interested. We're trying to do almost all "natural" ingredients now (very few processed foods), and just this week we incorporated the "8 foods you should eat every day" list from the "Eat This, Not That" book.

You can either get the book (cheaper) or go to the site biggestloserclub.com (there is a monthly fee).

I have not posted before, joined just so I could tell you all this. There is a diet site that is free and does everything you would ever need, and there are groups there who are followers of Biggest Loser - the site is sparkpeople.com There's nothing to lose - I have found it to be the answer for me. I'm 41 and have been fighting the battle of the buldge for all of my adult life, and since joining this site and taking advantage of everything they have to offer (Jan 2) - I have lost 25 pounds. I have 50 more to lose and for the first time in my life, I have no doubt that I will succeed.

They have a nutrition tracker, I input everything I eat and it adds it all up for me. They have a fitness tracker too, I input all of my exercise too. You can make a "Spark Page" which is similar to a Myspace page, you can put pictures, add friends, leave comments for your friends and get the support necessary to make it happen.

They have articles which are very informative. We've always known what it takes to lose weight, eat less and exercise more, right? Well, I read some article there that explained the math behind calories, how many you need to maintain, how many you burn in a day, just by breathing, how much of a deficit you need to lose a pound.

If you join, please look under "Community" and then "Spark pages" and look for me, same user name: tracietc You can add me as a friend, look at my pictures and leave me a message.

If you can't tell, I love-love-love the place!

I have found this show to be truly inspiring as well as entertaining. I live for Biggest Loser night. I am happy to report that this week, I not only crossed the 200 lb threshold in the right direction, but also reached a total weight loss of 50 lbs since last summer. I don't think I would have remained motivated if not for this show to remind me each week that not all weeks are going to show results, and if you have a mis-step or two it's not the end. You just have to do better and keep plugging away at it.

My eating habits have changed tremendously. I found that I enjoy walking, even if I have to do it on snowshoes. And I am even making peace with the yoga! lol!

I really think someone needs to get to the bottom of Maggie and Brit's psycological problems (and Jenn's too most likely). Something is keeping them from being sucessful. There's a whole lot more to this weight loss deal than calories in and calories out.

Neil's wife is running circles around him. He's all talk...and when it comes down to walking the walk...he just sits down. I hope this doesn't carry over to other areas of his life.

I was so very proud of the Brown team. GO Curtis! I wish that they could have stayed on longer...I would have gladly traded the yellow team for them.

Mark's back. *sigh*. It was really nice to see Jay coming out of his shell. I hope he doesn't go back in.

Glad to see that Ali has done so well. I'm rooting for her.

Truly bummed that Maggie and Brittany are leaving, I'm just afraid that they aren't going to be able to maintain on the outside...but I've been wrong before.

Loved Mom's reaction when she saw Dan's tattoo!

It took me a long time to warm up to this cast, but I have and I will miss them and wish them all well.

Tracietc-thanks for the sparkpeople link, I went there and signed up. Think it will give me the motivation I need to make this work. Love entering all my food and workout information and seeing the numbers.
I too love watching Biggest Loser every week and it is amazing to see how their bodies have transformed. I just wish I had started when they did and maybe I would be seeing those changes but at least I have started!

I just went back to when the chart first started, thanks Bob2112 by the way, and I am exactly Brittany, just a little older :-) Same height, same starting weight, yikes. I see I have lots of work to do but watching her will be my inspiration.

Go Kellsma! You can do it!!!!

I think Brittany and Maggie will be fine. I think that they have just been overwhelmed with the competition and emotion of it all. Plus we only see a few minutes a day of their time....and they are always going to show the emotional stuff.

The Today Show goofed this morning. They had Tim Gunn on talking about his shopping trip with the Biggest Loser contestants that will air tonight. They showed some clips of him shopping with one of the gals up for eviction...so I now know who got eliminated!

Tim said that the shopping trip was very emotional for these folks. He said surprisingly it was harder for the guys to look at smaller sized clothing. They have been so used to wearing "tent clothing" for so long, that they didn't know how to pick out things that actually fit. He also said that he "guided" the contestants as to what would look good on them, but all the contestants made their own final decisions.

I can't wait for tonight's show...counting the hours.

Kellsma...woohoo! Good for you for starting! Day 1 is the first day in a journey, but six months from now you are going to be glad for this day! Good luck and hang in even when things appear to so dang gone frustrating you just want to quit. When you stumble...just get back up and start again the next day. The perseverence will pay off.

Wow. I was just watching Access Hollywood and they actually showed the non-eliminated player as she walked down the runway after her makeover. They even called her by name.

Loved Jay's wife with her "When Jay saw me and squealed like a girl" comment. Refreshing after all the male tears!

Gee, they all look so great in their new clothes. I am happy for them. I can't decide who looks the best.

Oh...for those who aren't watching...they all got new clothes and makeovers and look fabulous. They are doing a fashion show, and a loved one is at the end of the runway.
