Biggest Loser Families starts September 16 on NBC!

I happened to see a crawler promo last night.. sort of took me by surprise a bit, even though I know I've been aware that the next season WAS families.

I cannot wait for this show to start. These people inspire me and I really need to get walking again. I am getting exercise by working in the garden and stacking piles and pile of wood...but there's nothing like a good walk! I miss this show...and as much as I hate to admit even Jillian!

Thanks for the link Sea!

Just in time for a whole new season of The Biggest Loser, alumni Matt and Suzy Hoover delivered their second boy on Thursday, PEOPLE has learned exclusively.

Jax Paul, who was born at Valley Medical Hospital in Seattle, weighed in 7.6 lbs., and measured 18.75 inches long. He joins big brother Rex Timothy, 14 months. "We're so excited to add a new member to our family!" says Matt. "We're adding another healthy Hoover to our family and look forward to raising both boys in a healthy way with information we learned on the show."

As for the name Jax, Matt says, "Our first son is named Rex, and that was unique and we wanted something that sounded similar that was also unique."

Matt and Suzy, both 32, first met as competitors on the second season of The Biggest Loser in 2005, which Hoover, a former wrestling coach, ended up winning. He then famously proposed to second runner up Preston, a hairstylist, on the Today Show in March 2006.

The couple got married on Sept. 19, 2006 at a beachside wedding in Jamaica.

Now the Seattle-based pair have started a new company, BestLifeDesign.com, a site that seeks to help people reach their health, fitness, financial, romantic and spiritual goals. In that vein, Hoover co-wrote the diet and fitness manual Matt Hoover's Guide to Life, Love and Losing Weight with exercise physiologist Dr. Sheri Colberg, which hits bookstores nationwide on Sept. 23.

NBC's The Biggest Loser: Families premieres Tuesday, Sept. 16 (8-10 pm ET) and will feature husband-and-wife teams squaring off against parent-and-child teams

Contestants have been screened on health issues that would have prevented them from exercising so strenuously. Unless this is a set-up for 2 sickies to go home & the remainders to form a team.

I had tears in my eyes when they were introducing us to the contestants. I have quite a few loved ones who I am very concerned about.

GREAT GREAT recap SEA!!!

I love this cast. I am rooting for everyone. I am really going to do well this season myself. I have already been out stacking wood and weeding in the garden this morning and am going for a walk this afternoon.

Back on track! Woohoo!

PS I also LOVE the graphics at the top of the page. Do I see the awesome Jimmer at work???

Ketchuplover, I have one villian so far. I'm not liking Vicky of the Brown Team. She was so whiny most of the time and I KNEW she would vote the Green Team out! One of her whines was that 'some' people were acting like they had nothing to worry about (while staring @ the Green Team.)

Sadly, I also knew when Stacey said they were confident, they shouldn't be. Of all the people there, she and her husband had the most muscle and it's much harder to lose than fat. Had they stayed, they would have caught up next week. I liked them a lot and was sort of rooting for them because they didn't whine and complain.

I'm not saying there isn't reason to whine, because the workouts look grueling, it's just that some people just do it and some grumble the whole way through.

I was impressed with the daughter on the Yellow Team, Colleen, getting immunity to keep her Dad there another week. Very nice.

Thanks so much for the graphic, Jimmer. It's lovely. I'm always forgetting names and it's nice to see them all at the top of the page.

And of course they may edit some teams to show the whining and others to not show it.. I thought Jillian and Bob both overdid the "get tough" routines just a wee bit, but that must be what was decided for this season. Again, could be editing.. just show those moments and not the supportive ones, for now.

The good news was it looks like the Green team will return to the finale looking really GOOD, which is the prize for them. They really had the bad luck that Jerry had to sit out, so Coleen was able to do the comp at a faster pace and win immunity, because otherwise, Jerry and Coleen would have been bottom two and green team would have been safe.

I do understand the show wanting to keep yellow team at least one more week, to hopefully get Jerry into some exercise and diet in hopes of literally saving his life. And then I just LIKED the Green team..

Personally I thought they would have sent Ed and Heba (orange) home, since they had so much more potential for weight loss over the long run, than did the green team.

Thanks Mary and Sea. Glad you like it! :-)

I still haven't been able to watch the show. Our kids like to watch it with us and I don't want to watch it twice!

Good point Sea. Sending Ed and Heba home would've been the smarter thing to do. I really LIKED the Green team too and would've liked to have seen them stay longer.

Hubby did comment that he didn't think that Stacey was big enough to be on the Biggest Loser. She did seem more fit than most of the other women. BUT because I really liked them, I sure wish they could've stayed. However like the Brown team last year, I think they will do well on their own.

That's what I thought, Seamonkey, which is why I felt it was a bit personal on Vicky's part and she may have swayed the others.

You're probably right about the editing. I just about died when Jillian said people thought she was too nice before. What?? No one has said that. They have ALL said she yells @ them way too much. There she was again last night..right in their face yelling. I do agree that could be the 'theme' for this year, but I don't think being in people's faces actually motivates them. I didn't notice Bob doing it as much, but maybe I missed it. I just don't like Jillian's style @ all..too nice she'll never be.
