I’m betting you’re right.  After the show they were probably like, “good job, thanks for being part of the show…NEXT”.  What do they care about what happens to her diet/exercise in the future? 

But who knows, maybe she was a big ol’ bitch in the first place!

What always bugs me about the show is the focus on how much / percentage of body weight a person has lost each week. How long can and should people be expected to lose 9 - 11 pounds per week.  When they only lose 1 - 2, which is actually a healthier # of weight loss, they somehow are treated as failures.  A high number of pounds lost doesn’t mean it is all body fat. Some of my biggest progress was measured in inches lost, even though the scale didn’t budge.

Hi

What i understand is that more than achieving weight loss the focus should be on getting their metabolism correct by incorporating practically (which means diet which can be followed in day to day life easily)feasible diet and exercise routine in their day to day life. Also they should be educated on different food ingrdients with their nutritional importance so that they can understand what to eat when and in what proportion.

The show is base on losing weight and trying not to get thrown off the show. That is their biggest motive for “crashing”. Certainly, I believe they want to lose the weight and for good but the show does’nt care about “after care”. It is like paying an alcoholic to quit drinking so that one is reunited with ones family but after that your on your own. If the show really cared, no one would be thrown off the show and the show would treat the real problem behind the obesity. Yea, I watched the season opener this past week and shed a little tear for them but then it came time for someone to leave the show and then it was “like” ok…. you’re own your own now good luck .... see you on the rebound…oops.  That was’nt really politically correct but when fat you can do that to others who are. I want weight lose to last so I am researching the best possible ways to lose weight and keep it off. My motive is not for money or some other prize.

Amen, Although some of my clients love the show I cant help but dislike it. Most of my clients come to me and say “so-and-so on the Biggest loser lost 50 pounds in 3 weeks, why can’t I do that? What’s wrong with me?”
I figure for every single person the show motivates, it also frustrates. Even after I explain how the set up of the show is not realistic for real people with real lives they just don’t get it. (*sigh*)

Hi Shin
Due to a grave error on my part I have managed to loose all of my pdf files including the max workout one. Would you please give me the chance to download them again. I am a fully paid up member just rather unlucky thats all.
Yours respectfully

Hi Shin,

I see one and only one real benefit to this show. If you are watching the show, you can’t help but think about your own fitness level, and weight loss goals.  I really believe that in order to lose weight and keep it off or attain fitness and stay there, you have to immerse yourself in your program, your goals and your accomplishments.  Much the same way that the overweight Mom immersed herself in her children as the force which led to her weight gain, she must now immerse herself in her fitness goals.  I find that to be an incredible asset of the internet and sites such as yours.  People who go to your site can’t help but be thinking about their goals and how to attain them.  It most definitely helps in the motivational arena.  Thanks.

ITHOUGHT I WOULD NEVER BE ABLE TO QUIT JUST SHOW YOU THE POWER OF EATING RIGHT

I would to thank you for the efforts you have made in writing this article.. ….

I never really liked watch The Biggest Loser. I feel like a lot of it is just for show and scripted.

Hello Mr. Shin and Fellow Readers,
I can agree w/all the statements, frustrations and disappointment w/the The Bigger Loser.  But let’s remember the bottom line; it’s a “reality show” – entertainment, aired for ratings, to include, they work out eight plus hours a day.  If I worked out eight plus hours a day and ate properly I could lose enormous amounts of weight too.  The portion of the show that teaches the contestants how to properly eat is the best part of the show, in my opinion.  The fact that they come on the show and lose unrealistic amounts of weight a week than the average everyday person is disturbing and can be frustrating to a viewer that is 300+ pounds.  However, on the other hand, the contestant that is 18 yrs old, 400+ pounds and taking 20 different medications has a second chance at life, whether through a crash diet or not.  I think the fact that you are sent home should not discourage you, however, allow you continue to try to lose weight.  It is inspiring for someone who has been obese most of their life and never lost one pound.  Some of the contestants don’t think they can do it.  It gives hope, to the hopeless.  And those of us that know the truth behind weight loss can educate and help our friends, family, clients and anyone we come in contact w/that may be struggling to maintain their health.  Not everyone can be a Biggest Loser Contestant, but changing your lifestyle to being fit and healthier makes you The Biggest Winner any day.

I will say, I really love this show! My husband hates all reality shows and will not watch them.
This week with the biggest loser, bob in general, I felt he was a little childish. Crying when he lost his team that was beating the other teams butt. It reminded me of a mother dropping off her kid at day care and coddling them and saying its alright your ok and right after they leave the kid cries for an hour. I truly felt he sabotaged jillian by upsetting his old teammates that way! They didnt trust her judgement. But now I believe they do. I
am doing the biggest loser and so far have lost 30lbs. It may not be the best way to get it off, but I havent been a normal weight in about 8 years. Now I am. My husband eats better, and my daughter, who was overweight, is now in a 5 and making healthy choices. Its a trickle down effect that helps many. my small town has 35 people on this biggest loser go around. And I have seen a marked reduction in overweight people in my town alone. Every 6 months they do another biggest loser. Theres got to be a good 200 people in my small town that have benefited. Now think of there families and The way the mothers and wives are feeding there kids and husbands for 6 months atleast! I know I can maintain with the help of your site and a great site called calorie counter about. I never had the support I have had this go around. Thank goodness for the internet, its all there at a touch of your finger!

I just started watching the show and while I enjoy seeing the transformation in the contestants, it IS a bit frustrating to see them lose so much weight, while I’m losing slowly. (But that is soon to change because I JUST started MAX workouts!) I remind myself that all they are doing is working out. They are not living in the real world with real temptations. They have a trainer pushing them constantly and so they are able to drop so much weight. I AM living in the real world, fighting temptation, and trying really hard not to get discouraged. I just make myself keep in mind that this is just a show and to keep on keepin’ on and not compare my results to those on the show and I WILL get the results I’m working to get.

One thing I hate about that show is someone will have dropped like 80 pounds wich is AMAZING!!!! But because someone has to win, when they weight at the end of the show it get competitive and their priorities are all messed up. I watched a whole show where each person lost like 80 each, then when they weighed if they only lost like 5 pounds they were in tears. Im always annoyed and I have to turn the t.v. off. Instead of being like “I effin rock Ive lost 85 pounds now”, they are crying and dissapointed in themselves cause they “let thier team down”. Are you kidding me?!!..then as people said above they think they are going to go home and see the same numbers. I have clients do the same thing as far as not understanding why people on the show can lose like that and I have to explain to them I only have an hour 3 days a week with them, not hours a day everyday, and that they have to watch what they do when they aren’t with me. So yea, I feel ya on the show, lol. I will use it for ideas though everynow and then when I get bored with routines that I make..but other than that it irritates me like most reality shows, lol.
