Biggest Loser Gets Married

Saturday, June 13th, 2009

Biggest Loser winner Michelle Aguiler , from season 6, is getting married tomorrow.

I am sure that we all remember Michelle, and her mother Renee, from season 6 on the Biggest Loser tv show?

Michelle and her mother were on the pink team that season and we were all rooting for her and her mother to go to the finale. The reason why? Most of America just loved them.

Another reason? Most of America could not stand Vicky, Brady, Heba and Ed.

The worst of them all being Vickie. I think that most Biggest Loser fans would have preferred anyone to win as long as it wasn’t Vickie.

You all made your feelings obvious by voting our polls and everywhere I went, all over Biggest Loser land on the net, your opinion of Vicky, Brady, Heba and Ed were made very clear. By far Vickie stood out as the most villainous of the group and probably could take an award for the most hated Biggest Loser contestant ever.

I am sure that most of you agree.

Anyway, through all of the meanness and drama of the villainous four Michelle and her Mom Renee (as well as some others, like Coleen ) stood out above the nastiness as some very nice people. We came to know and love them all.

The Biggest Loser season 6 finale was December 16th, 2008. Renee wasn’t there as one of the finalists but she was there for her opportunity to try for the $100,000 home prize and to support her daughter.

Our polls were showing that most of you were wanting Michelle to win the $250,000 prize and take home the coveted title of America’s Biggest Loser.

I doubt too many of us were surprised to see her win that night :0)

But many of us WERE surprised when we first heard that Michelle was engage to be married only 9 days later.

Many were concerned that her fiance, Micah Whitehead, was marrying Michelle only for her money. Some people thought that this was awful sudden.

I myself, and probably many others, wondered why he had waited until Michelle lost the weight and won the money to ask her to marry him.

If he really loved her wouldn’t he have asked her before she lost the weight so that she would know that it was HER and not her weigh (or money) that he was really after?

Then we learned that they had been dating for 4 months. Okay, four months is better than just meeting him but it still isn’t long enough to really know someone that you will (hopefully) spend the rest of your life with.

In my own case I knew my husband for years before we got engaged. We were best friends for most of those years.

And yet you never can REALLY know a person completely. You never know how someone will be when they get involved with drinking and drugs. That, and domestic violence, was what caused my divorce.

So, I am wondering, is it better to know someone longer before marriage? Or, is it better to know them a short time? Can you know someone well enough in a few months that you can think about spending your life with them?

How many of you think that Michelle is making the right decision? How many think that she is making a mistake?

No matter what we all know and love Michelle and we wish her only the best.

We wish for her all the happiness in the world on her wedding day tomorrow and all of the tomorrows to come.

Hmmm, I wonder if her bridesmaid dresses will be pink? :0)LOL

Michelle will marry Micah Whitehead in Texas tomorrow (June 14th, 2009). We all wish her the best.

Biggest Loser Trainer Called “Fat” What is the World Coming to?

Monday, June 1st, 2009

Last night I was tired when I posted about someone calling Jillian fat. Today I would like to talk a bit more about that incident.

But first-

Like many of you, I have been skinny and I have been fat and everywhere in between in my life. I was a little chubby when I was little. Back then they called it ‘baby fat’. When I hit my pre-teens I lost my ‘baby fat’ and was a normal weight for a time. Then I hit my teens and started to want to look like the models and famous actresses that were so thin.

I started to diet and exercise. I ate 1 sandwich a day with 1 slice of meat and 2 pieces of bread. I found out that dill pickles only have 5 calories each so I ate LOTS of dill pickles.

I exercised almost constantly when I was home.

When I was on the phone- I exercised.

When I watched tv- I exercised.

I lost weight. I got skinny.

And yet I still wasn’t happy and thought that I needed to lose more. My Mom was only 5 foot 2 inches tall and I am 5 foot 8 inches tall. Yet I lost enough weight that I could wear my Mom’s clothes. My bones stuck out and sitting was no longer comfortable so I kept moving more.

I didn’t know it then but I found out years later that my Mom was worried about me.

Back then we didn’t know about anorexia and bulemia like we do now.

Part of the problem that started that whole ball rolling was that the boyfriend that I had at that time told me I was fat. He continued to do so until my bones stuck out so bad that he couldn’t stand to have me sit on his lap.

When he complained about my bones sticking out then I realized that I was too thin.

Luckily I was able to start eating more normal and after a time I was back to being a normal weight and was fairly happy and healthy.

I was always the thin one of most of my friends- even at my normal weight. Who would have guessed that I would one day be ‘fat’?

I was in my early 20’s when I fell hard on cement and damaged my knee caps severely. I didn’t think that I would even be able to stand and for a long time just walking was a chore and very painful.

I iced my knees and did my exercises that they knee specialist recommended. Still, it took a long time for them to heal where I could walk without aid.

I believed for a long time that I would never run or dance again. I felt that I would be lucky if I was able to just walk normal again.

During that time I started gaining weight. I wasn’t able to move around much and when I did it was very difficult and painful. I became depressed. So I ate.

Eating was something that I COULD do without any problem.

I became chunky again but this time it wasn’t ‘baby fat’. I didn’t like it but there were people a lot bigger than me so I convinced myself that I was ok.

Then one day we went out to eat at a local fast food restaurant. I didn’t have a lot of food, just a sandwich, French fries and a drink. Yet I remember a young guy mooing at me. Seriously he mooed. And there were even at that time people a LOT bigger than I was. I don’t understand why he picked me to do that to but I was horrified, I was embarrassed beyond belief.

After that I didn’t want to go anywhere for a long time. I seldom left the house and I started wearing black all the time.

I had read that black is slimming and I thought that it would help me to look thinner.

It also was easier to color co-ordinate my clothes.

So this was my life for a time.

Then I had my son. He was 2 months premature. I had spent weeks in bed at home because of spotting and after suffering 2 miscarriages I did not want to lose my baby and would do whatever necessary to be sure that he would be ok.

At Christmastime I was finally able to get up and about a little bit. I still had to be careful but I managed to go in the stores a couple of times to pick out Christmas gifts.

Then in January I started leaking amniotic fluid and had to be rushed to the hospital.

That first night was HORRIBLE!!!

I was so worried about my baby and because they were concerned about emergency childbirth and the possibility of an emergency c-section they had me on this hard thing all night. It was almost impossible to get to sleep between being so uncomfortable, the worrying and the moniter they had strapped around me to keep track of my baby.

Every time I would finally doze off I would bump the wires and an alarm would go off. The nurse would have to keep coming in and fix it.

I was also hungry as I hadn’t had anything to eat all day in case they had to do emergency surgery.

We got through the night ok and managed to spend the next 6 weeks in there leaking amniotic fluid the whole time. I could get up to use the bathroom and a shower but that was it.

I went through 12 roommates while I was in there and if I hadn’t of had my son when I did I would have had roommate number 13 the day that Josh was born.

Because of how early he was he had to stay in the hospital for weeks and with all of the running back and forth I quickly lost all of the pregnancy weight that I had gained, and then some.

I wasn’t skinny but I wasn’t so overweight any more either.

Then my husband began to drink and use drugs. Domestic violence is a HORRIBLE thing and no one should have to live like that.

During this time I lost weight again. A LOT of weight and though I wasn’t skinny I was at a pretty much normal weight again for the first time in a long time but what a way to do it?!

My husband refused to admit that he had a problem and get help. I refused for Josh and I to live like that and despite all of the death threats and the fear that he actually WOULD kill us, I divorced him.

Being a single Mom is not what I had planned for in my life but we have gotten through and living as a single parent is much preferable to having the person that professed to love us refuse us food, medical care and threatening to kill us.

Luckily Josh was little but what memories he has of his father are not good ones but he is a happy, well adjusted person now and I have done my best to be both Mother and Father to him. I have also tried to put positive male role models in his life. NO NOT by dating! Make relatives and friends of the family.

Anyway, so I went through a period of time where I was of a normal weight and then…. my Mom died. My Mother was both Mother and Father to me as my Dad died in a car accident when I was a baby. I never felt that I missed out as she was always there and we were close. Mom was not only my Mother but my best friend. Losing her was one of the worst times of my life.

I became depressed. But I knew that I needed to be here for Josh and so I pushed through. I also started to eat more to shove down those emotions.

I gained weight.

Thus began a period of 10 years of losing loved one after loved one. I cannot tell you how many people we have lost in the last 10 years due to cancer, old age and accidents because to sit here and think about it would be just too depressing.

We are still dealing with the lose and pain of finding our cousin dead in a pool of blood. She had fallen down her basement stairs and hot her head on the cement floor at the bottom.

To find her like that and to lose not only our cousin but one of our best friends AND my job all at once was another one of the worst times in my life. I have gone through a LOT of bad things in my life and yet I keep going- without using alcohol or drugs as they don’t help your problems they just make things worse

From all of the stress and just the toll of living my life and pollutions and such- I ended up with 2 lung diseases and other health problems/

With all of my health problems- my back, my knees, my hands, my lungs and more- I couldn’t do all of the things that I used to do. There have been times that I could barely move.

There was another problem. Eating to shove down emotions and yet unable to move enough to burn even a portion of those calories.

I got to the heaviest weight I have even been in my life. I quit getting on the scales a long time ago because I didn’t like what I saw.

Then last year I discovered a combination of 2 things that had me losing weight so easily that I didn’t even realize that I was. I was just concentrating on getting healthy.

By the time my weight loss was brought to my attention my clothes literally hung on me. My son tells me they look like clown clothes on me.

After several months of using my method I quit it order to test it to see if I would have lasting results, or if like so many other weight loss methods the weight would come right back.

It has been over 6 months and the weight seems to be staying off.

I know now that if I would start to gain the weight back I can just use my method again.

I want to lose some more weight but for the sake of testing my method I am waiting a while longer.

But, for the first time in a long time I do not worry about my weight. I concentrate on making a better life for Josh and I and on us just being the healthiest that we can- which is why we are busy trying to enlarge our garden to try to grow most of our own food, We have chickens and are thinking of raising rabbits, turkeys and maybe some mini cattle as well as anything else that will help us to be more self sufficient.

We want to put a house roof over our trailer as it keeps wanting to leak and we have used roof coating but we have a couple of cats that like to get up there and when they do it sounds like a herd of cattle. All of that weight makes the metal buckle and get cracks. Also, I have to go up every winter and shovel snow off and with my health I will not be able to do that for too much more.

We would also like to have a greenhouse to grow food year round and a storm shelter/root cellar to store food in and to go in case of a storm as you know that trailers are not a good place to be during storms.

Anyway, sorry about getting of track there. My point was that we all tend to believe that we should be model thin. That’s not true nor is it healthy.

We should all strive to find a weight that is healthy for us and then just concern ourselves more with eating healthy and BEING healthy instead of wanting our cheek bones to stick out and to be so thin that we disappear when we turn sideways.

Calling Jillian fat is simply the mentality that so many are in anymore. We think that anyone that weighs more than the models do is overweight or ‘fat’

That’s not true and it isn’t right.

Let’s all worry more about our own business, being healthy and helping our fellow human beings.

To the person that called Jillian ‘fat’? You need to work on your image of what a woman should look like. If you think that Jillian is overweight then you have some issues you need to deal with.

You may be thin now but one day you might not be. One day you may not have your looks, your youth, health or your hair. When that happens I am sure that there will be someone just like you are now that will be quick to point it out and at that time maybe you will realize how many people you have hurt by your harsh words and inappropriate attitude toward women

You also do not know what got them overweight in the first place. It may be health reasons or some emotional one. I do not believe that most people that are overweight got there just because of laziness.

So before you put someone down because of their weight you might want to think about what got them there and how easy it might be for YOU to be where they are.

‘But for the grace of God go I’

Well, that’s enough of my rant for today :0)lol

Let us know what you think by leaving comments ( hopefully nice) and we would appreciate it is you would share our site with others so that we may grow and be able to help as many people as possible to lose weight and get healthy in addition to sharing our thoughts about the Biggest Loser - our favorite tv show :0))

Biggest Loser Drug Scandal???

Saturday, May 30th, 2009
OMG! Remember that big blow up on Biggest Loser with Filipe screaming at Jillian and then stomping out? Remember it was because Jillian hadn’t worked out with Filipe that day?

Has anyone wondered why Jillian worked out with everyone else on her team and NOT Filipe? I figured that it was just that she was so busy with the others and Filipe had been doing so well that she ran out of time and didn’t get to him that day.

Well, it seems that there was much more to it than that.

Et online has reported that Filipe Fa accused Jillian of giving her team drugs!

Because of Filipe’s drug accusation an internal drug investigation had to be performed. And because Jillian felt hurt and betrayed she refused to train one-on-one with Filipe.

I don’t blame her one bit. I would feel the same way if someone falsely accused me of something that serious.

Anyway, so when Jillian refused to work out with Filipe he got angry and that is what led up to the big blow up that we saw during Biggest Loser season 7.

Jillian says that she was furious, disgusted and betrayed, It took a week for the drug investigation to take place.

Filipe now says that he never accused Jillian. Executive producer Mark Koops contradicts him. He states, “The accusation came from Filipe.”

Now, Biggest Loser DOES allow multi-vitamins and caffeine supplements to give them energy but those come directly from the medical staff of Biggest Loser and not from Jillian, Bob or Allison.

In the end Jillian was cleared. Filipe now says that he and Jillian have smoothed things over.

Somehow I doubt that. I believe that it was Filipe’s accusation that almost made Jillian quit Biggest Loser.

I knew back when that whole blow up happened that Filipe must have had something to do with Jillian wanting to quit.

Now we know why.

Filipe, I think that you need to do some growing up. You accuse Jillian of something so awful and then you get mad when she doesn’t want to be around you? So then you throw a huge hissy fit and make an a## of yourself on tv for everyone to see?

I do not blame Jillian for being mad, hurt and betrayed. After a serious accusation like that, when it was found to be untrue (which I am NOT surprised) we think that Filipe should have been asked to leave the Biggest Loser ranch.

Like Josh said, if they made him go home then they could have went an extra week without someone else having to go home.

Slander is a very serious issue and Filipe is lucky that Jillian isn’t suing him because of this. For someone in Jillian’s occupation an accusation like this could have ruined her career.

 

Well Everyone, what do YOU think of this?

What are your thoughts on Filipe’s accusation against Jillian?

What do you think that the Biggest Loser should have done towards Filipe when his accusation was found to be untrue?

Should they have sent him home?

Did they do the right thing?

Let us know what you think by commenting now-thanks! :0)

One hour to go….

Saturday, May 9th, 2009

One hour to go….

Yes, there is but 1 hour to go until tonight’s Biggest Loser tv show is on and boy do I need my Biggest Loser fix today! :0)
Every week I watch Biggest Loser. That is MY time for me. It is the only time that I really take for myself all week but when Biggest Loser comes on I am all about watching the show and don’t even think about talking unless it is life or death.
Watching Biggest Loser makes me happy and relaxes me- well, other than all of the screaming and jumping up and down I tend to do during the weigh ins :0)lol But then at least I AM getting exercise in while I watch the show.
Anyway, there is only an hour left until tonight’s Biggest Loser show and I cannot wait! I had an extremely bad day at work today and have been so stressed out because of my boss. I am trying to let go of all of that stress and I am surer that when Biggest Loser comes on I will forget all about my boss screaming and swearing at me today for not answering the phone when answering the phone isn’t even part of my job and it only rang a couple of rings (one time) while I was in the middle of doing what IS part of my job.
I have only worked for this man for about 6 weeks and it feels like at least 6 YEARS!
Anyway, back to tonight’s Biggest Loser show - tonight we will find out who will be in the final three…..
or WILL we?
I am wondering if they will make us wait until the finale? Or have America vote again?
It is hard to tell when you are talking about Biggest Loser but then again that is all part of the wonder of it. The joy, the tears, the struggle, the drama, the suspence…
Biggest Loser has it all and, like a junkie craving their drug when life becomes difficult, I REALLY need my Biggest Loser fix tonight.
Two hours of thinking of nothing but Mike, Ron, Tara and Helen and wondering WHO will be in the finale? Who will be sent home?
What will be tonight’s challenge?
Everyone went home at the end of last week’s Biggest Loser episode. How well did they all do at home? Did they all lose weight? How much?
I a, also starting to think ahead to the Biggest Loser finale. Most of the contestants that were sent home seemed to have been doing well but I am wondering if they have all stuck with it? Who will win the $250,000? and who will win the Biggest Loser home prize of the $100,000.
They all seemed to have lost HUGE amounts of weight this season- over 1500 POUNDS! WOW!!! And no matter who wins the money I think that it is great that they have lost so much weight and learned all about getting healthy.
I have loved Biggest Loser through thick and through thin (small joke :0)lol) but to see how much they have helped these people this season that were heavier than any other contestants is fantastic. To see that so many of these people have now gone on and are passing on their new found knowledge to others to give others the opportunity to lose the weight just like they have is wonderful.
To see Ron, who has been overweight his whole life and has tried EVERYTHING (including surgery) finally lose weight and weigh now what he weighed back when he was a teenager is AMAZING! This show and people like this give hope to so many that may otherwise just give up.
To people that are overweight food is like a drug. It is unfair that so many people are mistreated simply because they are overweight. I feel that the Biggest Loser tv show is not only helping people to be able to lose weight but maybe it is also helping to teach people that aren’t overweight that they should be more understanding. It could just as easily be them in the size 26.
When I was a child I was a bit overweight. Not a lot but it was called ‘baby fat’ back then. As a teen I lost my ‘baby fat’ and was very thin-at one point I was nearly anorexic. I was eating 2 slices of bread, 1 slice of lunchmeat and lots of dill pickles every day and that was ALL that I ate for the entire day. I had found out that dill pickles had only 5 calories each so I filled up on them. Now I can barely look at a dill pickle :0)
Then, I went through domestic violence, a divorce, losing my Mom. My weight has gone from one extreme to the other.
Right now I am in a 14/16 after having used the methods I tell about in my free report which you can get by looking through my archives. Last year I was a size 26 or 28.
My weight has been a life long roller coaster for me. I love food. I have had a lot of very HARD times in my life. Times that some people would have just given up. I used food to comfort me through those hard times and to celebrate the joys.
I am doing pretty well at keeping my weight down and I may try to lose more weight at some point but right now I am still testing my weight loss yo see if it stays off without working at it. So far so good and it has been 6 months
I have also tried to switch my habit from being addicted to food to being addicted to Biggest Loser. So far I am REALLY addicted to the Biggest Loser tv show and have done well at keeping my food addiction under control.
Listen, my report is free so if you are serious about losing weight and keeping it off? Grab my free report and give this a try. It has worked for me- no diet, no exercise and I haven’t even used my ‘method’ for around 6 months and have done well about not gaining the weight back.
Well, 10 minutes and Biggest Loser will be on.
I need to finish up here so that I won’t miss a single solitary second of it ;0)lol
I won’t be able to blog after the show about tonight’s Biggest Loser show as I have to get up extra early for work tomorrow. But, I will try to post tomorrow after I get home.

Biggest Loser Polls…

Saturday, May 9th, 2009

Biggest Loser Polls…

Hi Everyone :0)

I am so glad to see you voting the polls I have here about the Biggest Loser. It is very interesting to see some of the results.

I noticed that Tara is in the lead for those that you think will make it to the Biggest Loser Finale. NO surprise there :0)

Mike is coming up behind her and Filipe is 3rd.

Until yesterday there were no votes for Helen.

I see that No one feels that Ron will make it to the finale. Weeks ago I would have thought the same thing but at this point he has endured, despite his bad knees, and I see a good chance of Ron making it to the finale at this point.
It also seems that most of us really want Jillian Michaels to stay on as a trainer on the Biggest Loser Ranch. A few don’t seem to like her or they just don’t care if she stays or not. But the majority are voting that they want Jillian to stay as the show would not be the same without her.
As for the poll about ‘Who do you want to see go home?’ I am a bit shocked at the results.75% of you want Ron to go home. Now, I may be a bit prejudiced since Ron and Mike are from Michigan, but I would like to see both Mike and Ron go to the finales.

Course after Tuesday’s episode I have been rethinking that. I wasn’t thrilled with Ron that he told Kristen that he wouldn’t vote for her. Yeh, TECHNICALLY he DIDN’T vote for her but he ran right over and worked out with Mike that he could keep his word (?) to Kristen’s mom Kathy and yet they could get Kristen off of the Biggest Loser ranch as she was the biggest threat to them.

I understand game play. I also heard Kristen talking at the beginning of Tuesday’s episode about if she had a chance she would be sending Ron or Mike home because their ‘team’ was too strong with both of them there yet.

And yet, as soon as she was below the yellow line she conveniently forgets that she was ready to send one of them under the bus and plays the ‘you promised my mom you would keep me here’ card.

Then too, I understand that she needs to be there- after all, she HAS gained weight on occasions and this week was one of them. And yet, of all of the contestants still there on the Biggest Loser ranch, she IS the biggest threat

Don’t get me wrong, I DO understand that game play does become a factor- especially this late in the game- BUT when it does come into play you tend to see sides of these people that you might not like.

I adore Mike. I think it is great that he has come so far. It would be so hard to be so big at his age. From personal experience I know that some people can be cruel towards the overweight among us.

But, a part of me didn’t like the whole Ron/Mike scene that played out before elimination.We like to see the people lose weight and we glory in their weight loss and yet, sometimes, with this weight loss can come out a cockiness that just rubs you the wrong way.

To some extent I suppose that we should be happy for them that they are gaining their confidence back. And I AM happy about that. I just don’t like when people get really cocky and full of themselves.

Which brings me to Filipe. I really did like him for a while there. But, when he went off on Jillian when he should have spoken up earlier instead of letting his anger simmer- well I just didn’t like that.

I don’t like to see a 26 year old man, a FATHER, acting like a 2 year old having a temper tantrum. I understand his being upset but at his age he should have been mature enough to have talked it over with Jillian rationally instead of the yelling, stomping his feet and walking out.

Is this how he is teaching his child to behave?

Since it seems that no one but my son and I want to see Filipe go home I have to wonder why?

Do you not care that he acted childish?

Do you only see a ‘pretty face’?

Yes, Filipe is good looking. But, we all need to be able to look beyond the surface and see the person for who they REALLY are.

A friend of mine was with a guy who treated her awful. He drank and abused her verbally and physically. I tried to get her to leave him before he killed her. He finally found someone new to abuse and is on new girlfriend number 5 (or somewhere around there) since my friend.

Luckily for my friend, a new girl caught his eye before she became yet another statistic. And yet, to this day, whenever we talk about how badly he treated her she still says….

“But he WAS good looking wasn’t he?”

GAWD, I hate to think that people out there are being taken in by a pretty face and damn the consequences. Is it better to be abused or killed by someone good looking than someone ugly?

Sorry, but it just hits too close to home here. My ex-husband was good looking and seemed so nice. Until he got involved in drinking and drugs and became abusive.

I just want people to be aware that a pretty face isn’t everything. Look below the surface and see the truth.

Would it not be better to be loved totally and treated like royalty by someone that is average looking ( or even below average) than to be subjected to childish tantrums or abuse by someone good looking?

I am NOT saying that Filipe is abusive to his wife. I am just using this opportunity to hopefully reach some of you that might be sticking with someone abusive ( like my friend was) just because they are good looking.

You are worth so much more than that! ;0)

Ok, I am done with my rant. Go ahead and leave some comments about Biggest Loser, the polls and what I just talked about here. We would love to hear your comments.

It is starting to storm here so I will be getting off the computer as getting zapped would put quite a damper on my day :0)

Take care

~Michelle

Collection of My Biggest Loser posts from April 2009

Saturday, May 9th, 2009

Another week of Biggest Loser??? YES!!!

Ok, so I misunderstood. I thought that we had just tonight and then the Biggest Loser finale. So, I am happy to hear that there is actually another week of Biggest Loser before we get to the finale.
Anytime there is more Biggest Loser I cannot and will not complain :0)
Now, tonight’s Biggest Loser show..
OMG, where to start?
Ok, the video at the beginning? All I can say is “WOW!!!” It is amazing to see how far everyone has come. They have lost so much weight that they don’t even look like the same people. To see the changes in them should be inspiration to everyone out there that wants to lose weight.
Heck, I have lost an amazing amount of weight and yet they still inspire me.
That is what the Biggest Loser show is so great for. You meet these people and get to know their hopes and dreams and then you see these same people (that think that these hopes and dreams are beyond their reach) make them a reality.
When everyone went to see the Dr and get their progress reports it was haw dropping moment after jaw dropping moment to see the pictures of just how large their stomachs were and to see the ‘now’ pictures.
To hear that Ron was too large to fit in the MRI machine when he first came to the Biggest Loser and now he had no trouble fitting in it. What a moment that must have been for Ron :0)
To see that Helen has taken 10 whole years off of her ‘real age’ and how skinny she was in her goal outfit and I laughed at how amazed she was at the size :0)
Tara and Mike both looked great in their goal items too.
The challenge? OMG! I remember the first week and how they all struggled to get over that 1 hill. To see them re-gain the weight that they had lost and have to carry all of that weight over 17 hills? I am absolutely speechless.
Filipe took off and Mike was right behind him. They both stayed out front for a time and then Tara found her groove and she started catching up and passing them. Was anyone really surprised?
Tara has one so many challenges. I think that she has won more challenges than anyone else that has been on Biggest Loser and she never once fell below the yellow line. That is quite an accomplishment
When Tara won the challenge both Josh and I figured that she would take the 1 pound weight loss rather than the $10,000. She just won $10,000 and with this being so close to the end we figured that the smart move would be to take the one pound weight loss advantage.
Now for the weigh in?
We were pleasantly surprised to see the big numbers that were showing up on the scale tonight.
I mean, think about it… here we are at the last of this season’s Biggest Loser. These people have all lost over 100 pounds while being on the Biggest Loser ranch.
They all are in amazing shape.
Who would think that they could pull the large numbers that we just saw?
Ron lost 9 pounds? Yeh Ron! :0)
Filipe lost 10 pounds? This late in the game to lose double digits? Great job Filipe!
And with all of the weight that those two lost THEY are the ones that end up below the yellow line?
WOW!

Mike seemed so certain that there was no way that he would have lost enough weight to stay above the yellow line. Josh and I both talked about how so many, when they think that there is no way, have actually lost enough weight to surprise themselves.

I think that for Mike to see that he CAN do this- he CAN lose the weight even when he thinks that he just doesn’t have it in him was a life changing moment for him.

I am happy for Mike not only losing the weight but to win the $10,000 which he said will pay for another year of college for him. The Biggest Loser has been a life changing opportunity for everyone that has ever been on it and that is certainly true for Mike.

Helen has come a long way ( as they all have). I got a kick out of her fussing about how her hair was in the video at the beginning of the show was hilarious. Even funnier though was when Jillian messed Helen’s hair up during the last chance workout.
Jillian brought up a good point. Helen IS in pink. Pink team members have won both of the last 2 season’s of Biggest Loser.
Will pink win again this season?
After the weigh in and we knew that both Ron and Filipe were below the yellow line we knew that Mike would never put Ron’s name on for him to go home. Yet, who knew how Helen or Tara would vote?
Helen mentioned about how Ron and Filipe had both put her name down to send her home at some point. I seem to remember that Helen had actually put Ron’s name down before Ron ever put down Helen’s name.
Now Tara? I wasn’t sure how she would vote and I guess at this point we will never know.
So, Filipe was sent home. But, he has lost so much weight and he went home to teach his friends and relatives how to lose weight and get healthy too. And what better time to do so?
How awful that his Dad had a stroke but at least Filipe was there to be with him and that his Dad is going to be ok.
What a wake-up call to Filipe and all of the Tonga people.
It is wonderful to see how so many people have gone on, after learning how to lose weight and get healthy on the Biggest Loser, are passing on what they have learned. They are helping others to lose weight and get healthy too.
I am truly speechless when trying to find the words to explain how that makes me feel.

45 Minutes and counting….

Yes, it is only 45 minutes now until the last Biggest Loser show until the finale.
I am looking forward to tonight’s show and am trying to think who it might be that goes home- well, actually EVERYONE on Biggest Loser will be going home tonight but I am wondering who will be below the yellow line? Who will be the final four that go to the Biggest Loser finale?
I know who I WANT to go to the finale but it is hard to predict who will actually be in the final four. As a fellow Biggest Loser fan you all know that there is one thing about Biggest Loser that keeps things interesting- you never know what is going to happen :0)
Everyone that is still there on the Biggest Loser ranch has done so well and so many of them have really found their way into our heart.
What a refreshing change from last season, huh? There have been a few moments that have made us shake our head but for the most part the people that were chosen have realy been so much better than some of the ones we had to put up with last season.
And yet, I pause here to wonder if that is really the case or is part of it just the twist that is put on everything during the editing? Was Vicky and Heba as bad as we thought last season?
Personally I have to lean towards saying “Yes” after the things that I read about all over the net and even on Vicky’s own MySpace page.
Are some of the people this season worse than what we may be being led to believe? I wonder….
Jillian Michaels is considering leaving the Biggest Loser show.
Why?
Her reason’s, which she doesn’t go into a lot of detail about, are that so many of the contestants came into this for fame, fortune and publicity such as wanting recording deals.
Jillian became so fed up that she is considering leaving the Biggest Loser tv show- so, just how bad was it?
Everyone seems to be there for the right reason’s, losing weight and getting healthy, but is that true? Or is it just editing?
I myself feel that maybe when they were auditioning to be on the Biggest Loser these people were there just to be able to lose weight. Maybe after getting their chance to be on the show they got to thinking about fame, fortune and recording deals. Which could be when Jillian got so fed up and started thinking and talking about quitting the show.
But, and this is just my opinion here, I think that there has come to be a closeness between Jillian and her team more recently. Trying to pinpoint it I would have to say that it happened after her team chose her during the last changing of the teams.
Maybe knowing that these people specifically chose HER helped to bring about the change. Maybe at this point everyone finally GOT it and was just there to lose weight and get healthy and the heck with fame and fortune- at least until the finale is done ;0)lol
Or, maybe the worst of the ones bothering Jillian were no longer on her team at this point. Hmmmm…. could attention be behind a certain someone’s temper tantrum that he had recently?
Now I am not saying that he is the one that pushed Jillian into thinking of quitting the Biggest Loser but the thought has crossed my mind and keeps popping back up like a bad weed that you can’t get rid of :0)lol
I know that I have been in contact with several of the contestants and I have not had the feeling that any of them have been there just to get famous. They have all be very nice.
In fact, Carla (when she found out about my huge weight loss and how my clothes are being held on by safety pins) was kind enough to offer me some suggestions as she didn’t want me to have to wear clothes like that
Well, now Biggest Loser is only 15 minutes away….
15 Minutes? I am torn bewteen wanting it to go fast and knowing that when the Biggest Loser show is done tonight we will only have 1 more show (the finale) and then it will be L-O-N-G Months before Biggest Loser season 8 will start.
Gee, am I the only one that is starting to get worried, nervous and feel like I am facing Biggest Loser withdrawals?
I have had other favorite tv shows but known have ever caused me to feel withdrawals like a junkie. Well, I have never been through that so maybe I shouldn’t put it like that, but I can imagine that this is how they feel. Good thing Biggest Loser is good for me and non-fattening too :0)lol
I think I will add a new poll to see if anyone else goes through this. Hmmm, what to call it? What to ask? I will have to think in this. Any suggestions?
Ok, I am outta here. I have to get ready to watch Biggest Loser and I don’t want to miss anything. I will blog later after the show…

Tuesday’s Biggest Loser episode should be interesting….

Yes, Tuesday’s Biggest Loser episode should be interesting- course I think that they ALL are! :0) lol But I am an admitted Biggest Loser addict ;0)
This week the contestants get to train their trainers which should be fun. I bet the contestants will make them work just as hard as the trainers have made them work.
Then the contestants will have to run up and down a hill while carrying bags that weigh the amount of weight that they have lost. Sound familiar?
I think that, if nothing else, this is one real eye opener for the contestants to really realize how much weight that they have lost.
Then, the contestants will be seeing the doctor one more time so that they can find out their progress and what their “REAL” age is now as compared with when they first started on the Biggest Loser ranch.
Then, after the weigh in they will eliminate one more contestant and then they all will be heading home until the finale.
Now is the time that I absolutely dread. I LOVE Biggest Loser so much and when we get to this time of year I can’t wait to see the finale and who will win it and yet I dread it because we will then have to wait MONTHS before Biggest Loser will be back on.
I used to dread every finale but after season 6 I found that I was so glad to be done with having to see Vicky, Brady, Heba and Ed that the finale was actually a relief.
Then too, I knew that the new season was starting in a couple of weeks or so and so it was bearable.
But, when faced with actual MONTHS of no Biggest Loser shows I am like a junkie facing withdrawals- EEEEKKK! The HORROR of it!
Good thing that I have been taping and have LOTS of episodes to watch to help to get me through.
Trying to look at the bright side, I might actually watch some of the episodes from season 5 and see Paul & Kelly, Ali, Brittany and the rest of the gang.
Sadly I didn’t start taping until part way through Biggest Loser’s season 5. I wish that I had started taping the show sooner but that should be enough to help me to get through until Fall.
Meanwhile I am busy praying that Jillian Michael’s will stay on at Biggest Loser as because I will be so sad if she isn’t on the show anymore. I love her and Bob both :0)
Btw, did you see Bob on the car commercial during Biggest Loser last week?
Speaking of cars- I finally managed to find the part for my car and was able to get it fixed. I lucked out. I found the part online and they wanted $495 for just the part and it was located in another state.
I kept calling around locally and found the part just 4 miles ( down around the corner) from me and the guy installed the part. The cost? Just $50! YESSSS!!!!! I am so HAPPY! :0)
Ok, well, that’s all for now. Keep checking back as I will be posting more soon.

Biggest Loser Polls…

Hi Everyone :0)

I am so glad to see you voting the polls I have here about the Biggest Loser. It is very interesting to see some of the results.

I noticed that Tara is in the lead for those that you think will make it to the Biggest Loser Finale. NO surprise there :0)

Mike is coming up behind her and Filipe is 3rd.

Until yesterday there were no votes for Helen.

I see that No one feels that Ron will make it to the finale. Weeks ago I would have thought the same thing but at this point he has endured, despite his bad knees, and I see a good chance of Ron making it to the finale at this point.
It also seems that most of us really want Jillian Michaels to stay on as a trainer on the Biggest Loser Ranch. A few don’t seem to like her or they just don’t care if she stays or not. But the majority are voting that they want Jillian to stay as the show would not be the same without her.
As for the poll about ‘Who do you want to see go home?’ I am a bit shocked at the results.75% of you want Ron to go home. Now, I may be a bit prejudiced since Ron and Mike are from Michigan, but I would like to see both Mike and Ron go to the finales.

Course after Tuesday’s episode I have been rethinking that. I wasn’t thrilled with Ron that he told Kristen that he wouldn’t vote for her. Yeh, TECHNICALLY he DIDN’T vote for her but he ran right over and worked out with Mike that he could keep his word (?) to Kristen’s mom Kathy and yet they could get Kristen off of the Biggest Loser ranch as she was the biggest threat to them.

I understand game play. I also heard Kristen talking at the beginning of Tuesday’s episode about if she had a chance she would be sending Ron or Mike home because their ‘team’ was too strong with both of them there yet.

And yet, as soon as she was below the yellow line she conveniently forgets that she was ready to send one of them under the bus and plays the ‘you promised my mom you would keep me here’ card.

Then too, I understand that she needs to be there- after all, she HAS gained weight on occasions and this week was one of them. And yet, of all of the contestants still there on the Biggest Loser ranch, she IS the biggest threat

Don’t get me wrong, I DO understand that game play does become a factor- especially this late in the game- BUT when it does come into play you tend to see sides of these people that you might not like.

I adore Mike. I think it is great that he has come so far. It would be so hard to be so big at his age. From personal experience I know that some people can be cruel towards the overweight among us.

But, a part of me didn’t like the whole Ron/Mike scene that played out before elimination.We like to see the people lose weight and we glory in their weight loss and yet, sometimes, with this weight loss can come out a cockiness that just rubs you the wrong way.

To some extent I suppose that we should be happy for them that they are gaining their confidence back. And I AM happy about that. I just don’t like when people get really cocky and full of themselves.

Which brings me to Filipe. I really did like him for a while there. But, when he went off on Jillian when he should have spoken up earlier instead of letting his anger simmer- well I just didn’t like that.

I don’t like to see a 26 year old man, a FATHER, acting like a 2 year old having a temper tantrum. I understand his being upset but at his age he should have been mature enough to have talked it over with Jillian rationally instead of the yelling, stomping his feet and walking out.

Is this how he is teaching his child to behave?

Since it seems that no one but my son and I want to see Filipe go home I have to wonder why?

Do you not care that he acted childish?

Do you only see a ‘pretty face’?

Yes, Filipe is good looking. But, we all need to be able to look beyond the surface and see the person for who they REALLY are.

A friend of mine was with a guy who treated her awful. He drank and abused her verbally and physically. I tried to get her to leave him before he killed her. He finally found someone new to abuse and is on new girlfriend number 5 (or somewhere around there) since my friend.

Luckily for my friend, a new girl caught his eye before she became yet another statistic. And yet, to this day, whenever we talk about how badly he treated her she still says….

“But he WAS good looking wasn’t he?”

GAWD, I hate to think that people out there are being taken in by a pretty face and damn the consequences. Is it better to be abused or killed by someone good looking than someone ugly?

Sorry, but it just hits too close to home here. My ex-husband was good looking and seemed so nice. Until he got involved in drinking and drugs and became abusive.

I just want people to be aware that a pretty face isn’t everything. Look below the surface and see the truth.

Would it not be better to be loved totally and treated like royalty by someone that is average looking ( or even below average) than to be subjected to childish tantrums or abuse by someone good looking?

I am NOT saying that Filipe is abusive to his wife. I am just using this opportunity to hopefully reach some of you that might be sticking with someone abusive ( like my friend was) just because they are good looking.

You are worth so much more than that! ;0)

Ok, I am done with my rant. Go ahead and leave some comments about Biggest Loser, the polls and what I just talked about here. We would love to hear your comments.

It is starting to storm here so I will be getting off the computer as getting zapped would put quite a damper on my day :0)

Take care

~Michelle

Biggest Loser’s Kristen Goes Home…

Wow! Where does the time go?
It is hard to believe that Biggest Loser will only be on 2 more weeks and then we are done for another season and will have to wait until Fall to see Biggest Loser again. Add to that the fact that we might well not be seeing Jillian when Biggest Loser comes back on:0(
I sincerely hope that that is not the case and that Jillian will be right there with Bob pushing the newest contestants to lose weight.

Ok, I’m BAAACCCKKK! :0)lol

Now let’s talk about what has been going on on the Biggest Loser.
Sorry I didn’t post last week. My car broke down and I have been looking all over for a shift stabilizer bar for it. It seems like no one has one. Well, I have had 2 places that said that they did but after going to pick up the part I found out that they only had automatics and thus did NOT have the part I needed. One place was an hour and a half drive one way :0(
Anyway, last week’s Biggest Loser was hard. Laura was not one of my favorites when this season started. But when Jillian asked who the weakest link was and everyone said “Laura” it was like something finally clicked and Laura changed. She started really working out and losing the weight and she changed the way that we felt about her.
Knowing that sending her home was the right thing to do didn’t make it any easier. And then to see how upset Tara was at the begining of this week’s Biggest Loser show brought back the pain of seeing Laura having to be carried up to be weighed and of her team-mates making the hard choice to do the right thing in order for her to heal.
Jillian was right though in saying that everything happens for a reason- I myself have had to remind myself of that fact numerous times lately. By Laura going home Tara was forced to concentrate on Tara. It was difficult for her but this was probably for the best for both of them.
Now, how about that challenge?
I was surprised that Mike fell so quickly but with his fear of heights I guess he just didn’t want to stay up there and lost it on purpose.
I really thought that Ron would have a chance to win this one. With his bad knees he has worked on his upper body strength a lot and that is what this challenge needed.
He was doing so well and then, in the blink of an eye, there he went :0(
Now Filipe wasn’t one of my favorite contestants on Biggest Loser at first. Then he won a spot in my heart but when he had his temper tantrum and went off on Jillian I was completely turned off. SInce then I have seen a lot of attitude and cockiness from Filipe and I just don’t like it.
Tonightm seeing him purposely scaring the girls by making that contraption move when they were so far up in the air and then laughing about it I was REALLY not happy with his childish antics.
So, when he fell off without knocking Tara, Helen or Kristen off my son and I got a good laugh. What goes around, comes around :0)
Kristen seemed so determined. She really seemed focused and I thought for sure that she would either win the $10,000 (or 1 pound weight loss advantage) or she would be one of the remaining 2 up there.
You could tell how upset she was when she fell.
Helen gave Tara a ‘good run for her money’ so to speak :0)lol. I felt bad for her when she tried so hard and really wanted that 1 pound weight loss advantage to help to keep her on the Biggest Loser ranch.
Then Tara won- AGAIN!- but I was happy for her. She did a great job and really when you think about it, how hard was this challenge compared with pulling a car with all that extra weight she had???
This was probably MUCH easier.

Wow! What a weigh-in.
I must confess that after all the childish behaviour and temper tantrums I was really hoping to see Filipe go home tonight. I hate to say it but I would really hate to see someone that acts like that win and be a role model for so many.
If Filipe had been below the yellow line I would have had no problem shoosing who to send home from the Biggest Loser ranch.
I couldn’t believe that Helen had such a small weight loss number and that Kristen had actually GAINED weight. She seemed so stunned. Even Bob seemed at a loss for how that had happened.
I have to wonder if it came down to stress and how they ate while video taping their meals for Bob. To see Ron, Kristen and Filipe divide what should have fed one of them so that it fed all three was NOT enough protein for them with all of the exercising and muscle building that they are doing.
Sometimes stress or the wrong food choices can throw off their weight loss so much.
Anyway, to have the weigh in come down between Helen and Kristen was a really hard choice for me. For the most part, I like them both.

Well, sorry about this but I have to cut this short so I can get ready for work. I will try to add more later when I get back. In the meantime don’t forget to vote the polls and leave some comments. Let me know what you think about what is going on on the Biggest Loser. I haven’t heard any more about if Jillian will stay or go- been too busy tofind out. Do any of you know if she has decided to stay? Hope so :0)
Later :0)

Vicky - villan or victim?

Saturday, May 9th, 2009

Thursday, December 4,2008

In seeing all of the horrible comments about Vicky and a few comments sticking up for her I decided to give Vicky the benefit of the doubt and check out her myspace page and blogs.

You can check my statements out for yourself at her myspace page. Her username is biggestloservicky

Vicky says on her myspace blog about how it was all editing and she can’t stand to watch how the Biggest Loser portrayed her.

She says that she never said all of those things and that she hugged everyone when they left. Vicky says that Biggest Loser took everything out of context. That none of how she was portrayed is true.

Then she goes on to slam Biggest Loser saying about cockroaches and finding 2 inches of maggots in the sink.I don’t believe a word of it. She can not claim that she’s nice with one breath and then spew the vile crap that she is in the next breath.

Biggest Loser has shown video of the kitchen at the ranch. There has never been a time when it has looked anything but clean.

Vicky says that she was washing dishes and found 2 inches of maggots in the bottom of the sink.

First of all, I would think that it would take quite a while to have that many maggots build up.

Secondly,I would think that if there were any maggots- especially that many- that you would see them floating in the water before getting down to the bottom of the sink- wouldn’t you?

Thirdly, I would think that for there to be that many maggots you would have to have a horrible odor and a serious fly problem. I have not seen any flies and I watch every episode.

I mean, I am no maggot expert- and don’t want to be, but I would think that logic would say that the statements I make above should be true.

I find it highly telling that Vicky is the only one that is saying these things.

Sorry Vicky I just don’t believe it.

Biggest Loser cannot put words in your mouth.
They cannot make you roll your eyes
and Biggest Loser cannot make you have the body language that you yourself portray.

And if you were a truly nice person, like you are trying to convince us you are, you wouldn’t be spouting lies about 2 inches of maggots in the sink!

I just do not believe that to be true.

I’d be careful of things like that because Biggest Loser could go after you for slander and libel.

I think that you have a hard enough hill to climb to overcome the way America feels about you after what they have seen and heard. I don’t think your reputation could handle the extra burden of being sued by the Biggest Loser.

Vicky, I really did try to give you the benefit of the doubt. You might have been able to convince me if you hadn’t had the blog posts about Biggest Loser having maggots and roaches.

Even then, if what you said had seemed reasonable, but TWO INCHES of maggots seems more a way of getting back at the Biggest Loser for showing you as you are. As the old saying goes ‘the truth hurts’.

Maybe you want to remember yourself as not saying those things and hugging the other contestants as they left because it is easier than facing the truth. I know that as human beings we tend to forget the bad and remember things as being much better than they actually were.

I hope that you will take this as the constructive criticism that it is meant to be and make some changes. It’s great to show your kids how to be healthy and have good eating habits. But, you also need to show them about being a good sport, human decency and kindness.

Help me out here…..I have a question about Biggest Loser…

I have a question that I would really like answered. Recently I read somewhere that skinny people don’t watch Biggest Loser that only people that are overweight watch it.

I disagree with that. My son is skinny but he enjoys watching Biggest Loser with me. I have recently lost a lot of weight but I still love watching the Biggest Loser. Even when I am skinny I will still love to watch Biggest Loser….won’t I?

I’m sure that I will :0)

Anyway, this has me wondering if this could be true. So, I have started a poll that will go until the end of the year. Please tell all of your Biggest Loser watching friends so that they can come and vote my poll. I would like to get a really good indication of whether or not it is true that skinny people don’t watch Biggest Loser.

Can’t wait to see how this poll turns out :0)

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

Don’t eat too many cookies or drink too much eggnog. And didn’t you know that fruitcake is a perfect food? Sure, it has fruit, nuts, grains and by the way most people talk about it, it doesn’t sound like something most people would binge on.

Viola….. the perfect food :0)LOL
Till next time

What a heartbreaking week…

Like so many of you, my son & I have been hoping that Michelle & Renee would be able to go to the finale together. So tonight was very difficult. When we saw Renee fall below the yellow line we were pretty sure that Renee would be the one that would get sent home.
Even though we were fairly certain we did have some hope. Knowing what a ‘player’ Vicky is we wondered if she would realize that Ed was the bigger threat and would send him home and surprise everyone.
When Vicky said that she would show her vote and that then she wanted to say something my son & I were certain that she must be going to sent Ed home.
After all, what reason would she need to say something about the reason for her vote if she were sending Renee home?
So, when Vicky showed her vote to send Renee home our heart dropped to our feet. I was crying right along with Michelle & Renee. I’m sure that I wasn’t the only one either.
Right from the start of this season Michelle & Renee have been there to lose weight, get healthy and rebuild their relationship. I have never seen either of them be anything but good sports throughout all of the drama that this season has had.
Tonight it seemed that Vicky was- dare I say it? Nicer? She seemed more emotional too. Maybe it was game play or maybe not.
Remember last season, Mark went off on his brother Jay. Due to that and other reasons I did not like Mark after that.
Then came the turning point. Mark became more emotional and actually started to be nice :0)
I know a lot of people got really tired of all of his crying- we did too- but it was good to see him change and become a better person.
I know that most of you really want Vicky to go home and I must say that I still agree. This late in the game it just seems that even if it is real remorse over her behaviour it is probably too little too late. That’s if her actions tonight were on the up and up and her tears were real and heart felt.
Personally, with Renee gone my son & I have only 1 person that we are really voting for. We want Michelle to win.
I liked Heba and Ed when they first came on but with the way that Heba has acted I just don’t feel that Heba deserves to win as much as what Michelle does. If Ed wins then Heba still benefits and even though her behaviour hasn’t been as bad as Vicky’s it has still been pretty bad.
On the other hand, looking at the lesser of two evils I must say that if it comes down to it I would rather Heba get the money over Vicky any day.
Now, the big twist that we found out tonight we know that America gets to vote who will be the 3rd person in the finals. If Biggest Loser does this right they should have that America votes who goes home out of all four of the contestants. That way we don’t have to worry about Vicky falling below the yellow line in order to send her home.
The reason I say this is because from everything I have seen and heard I know that probably about 99% of America wants Vicky to go home. So, I am sure that given the chance that America will be voting to send Vicky home.
Whatever happens, I know that we will be voting to be sure that Michelle stays on the Biggest Loser ranch and, if possible, that Vicky will be going home.
In 2 weeks we will find out who the Biggest Loser is. That moment is bittersweet. On one hand I cannot wait to find out. On the other hand that means not getting to see our favorites on the show any more and having to wait for the new season to start.
Ahhh, the emotional rollercoaster ride of the Biggest Loser addict :0)

New Poll & I can’t wait for tonight…

Ok, the results are in and Michelle is the hands down favorite to win the Biggest Loser ranch prize. Her mother, Renee, did well but Michelle is way out ahead of her.
Amy had 1 vote and no one else had any.
Tonight is the big night- You know- it’s Biggest Loser night :0)
I cannot wait to see it. I hope Michelle & Renee both do well like last week and get to stay on the show.
I’ll blog more later after the Biggest Loser is done.

Hate Mail & Harassing Phone Calls?

I just found out from Biggest Loser contestant Stacey that certain members of the show have been getting hate mail and harassing phone calls.

Now, I do understand that we can get caught up in the Biggest Loser tv show. We meet these people, hear their hopes & dreams and see them struggle to achieve these dreams. When they laugh, we laugh. When they cry, we cry. We feel their heartache and feel their pain. They are invited into our homes every week like cherished guests and become like family to us.

This is what is so amazing about the Biggest Loser tv show. How many reality shows out there can make us empathize with their contestants like this?

But, there comes a point where some people can go too far.

I understand how angry everyone is with Vicky, Brady and Heba. What we have seen portrayed on the Biggest Loser is one example after another of bad sportmanship and just mean & nasty behaviour by these three.

I have said before that even if Biggest Loser is biased that they fact remains that these people have said and done the things shown and I still feel that way. BUT, we also have to realize that these parts are pulled out of context during a weeks worth of filming. We also need to remember that being away from family & friends, exercising to the point of exhaustion and trying to work through the painfult things from our past that may have caused us to get to this point in our life could bring out the worst in most of us. We could say and do things that we later might regret and would rather not have had the world seeing them and later shoving them in our face.

What I am getting at is this:
It’s ok to like some contestants better than others and to dislike certain people because of their behaviour but the bottom line is this is just a tv show- we don’t really know these people and once this season is done most of us probably will never see these people again.

To go so far as to be sending hate mail and to be torturing these people with harassing phone calls is going too far.

Ok, if you are upset with the direction of the show- let Biggest Loser know what parts you don’t like and what you do like. In this way you can have a positive influence to be sure that this might not happen again. This is using your feelings in a constructive manner instead of destructive.

If you are that upset then change the channel and wait till season 7 to come back to watch Biggest Loser.

As with anything in life, we have the choice to take what we like from what happens and remember it with joy.

And we have the choice to leave that which we don’t like behind and just get on with our life.

Enjoy the good and forget the bad. Life is too short to get so worked up like this.

Is Vicky’s behaviour something that we will remember 5, 10 years from now? Is it really that important?

It might feel pretty important right now in the heat of the moment but when push comes to shove and we get 5 or 10 years down the road we probably won’t even remember Vicky’s name or anything that she has done or said.

So, when Vicky gets to you just take a deep breath and remember- This too shall pass :0)

As for me? I can’t wait till tuesdays Biggest Loser show. If Vicky falls below the yellow line I am sure that she will be going home and then everyone can relax and let go of all of this anger that is being bandied about on the net about her

And if she doesn’t? Well, there is always next week ;0)

Amy & Phillip, we are praying for you….and the World! :0)

I just finished reading Amy P’s blog and I have to say that I am apalled at some of the things that people have been saying about this couple.

Since the Biggest Loser first came on tv it has had parents leave their children, come to the ranch to get healthy and lose weight both for their children and themselves.

I have never thought badly of these people for doing this. I applaud them the strength that it takes to do this.

Leaving their children with loved one’s to be able to add years to the time that they will be here for their children and to be able to then pass on to their kids the knowledge that they gain so that their children have the opportunity to avoid the same mistakes, is a wonderful legacy.

How could anyone say that doing this is being a bad parent?

And yet, Amy talks about how people have accused her and Phillip of abandoning their children and only loving their autistic son Rhett.

That is hogwash! My son and I can see very clearly the love that these parents have for all of their children. They left their children with a trusted family member to spend the summer with their cousins doing fun things like camping, hiking and playing.

This doesn’t sound like being bad parents to me?!

I would say that if there were anyone that has ever been on the show that I would take a second look at for being a bad parent it would not be Amy and Phillip.

I will not say who I am thinking of but I am sure that many of you have had the same thoughts as I have. I have seen many expressing the same concerns about this woman and it sure is NOT Amy P.

So Amy I am sorry that people have hurt you by their unkind and thoughtless words. I want you to know that we are praying for your family, as you requested.

On this Thanksgiving Day here in Michigan USA, we are praying for the world. We pray for an improvement in the economy and that there might be peace and that the Biggest Loser will survive the blow that this season has dealt to their ratings due to a certain someone we all know and……well, you can fill in the blank :0)

I am thankful for my son, being alive, family, friends, having a roof over our head, food to eat, clothes to wear, heat and all of the other things that we all tend to take for granted in our busy day to day life.

May you all be surrounded by love, never know hunger and enjoy great health.
HAPPY HOLIDAYS To YOU ALL!

What a H U G E Mistake!

As I tried to go to sleep last night I was running scenarios through my mind of how things might have went if Amy had just voted Vicky off instead of Coleen.
Think about this:
With Vicky gone we would then have a mother/daughter team, a husband/ wife team and 2 singles (Coleen and Amy). This would put things pretty evenly matched.
Then you take into consideration that last night on the Biggest Loser we had Amy and Heba below the yellow line.
Now, if Amy had voted off Vicky then I believe that she would have had Michelle, Renee & Coleen all voting to keep her on the show. Of course Ed would have voted to keep his wife Heba on but the votes would have been 3 for Heba to go home and only 1 for Amy to go home.
Thus, Heba would have had to leave the Biggest Loser ranch and Amy would have stayed.
Taking it a step further: I believe, seeing how Ed seems to be having so much trouble, that it is a good possibility that Ed might have been below the yellow line next week- especially with Heba not there to keep after him.
No matter who would have fallen below the yellow line with Ed I am sure that if he did fall below the yellow line that he would have been the one to go home as I feel that all four of the others would have voted for him to go home.
This would have left us with Michelle, Renee, Coleen and Amy as the final four and I personally would not have minded to see any one of those four win the money.
Instead, because Amy sent Coleen home, she ended up gong home. Now here we are facing the possibility that Vicky could actually win the money.
I shudder at the thought.
It is funny (not funny HaHa, but funny ironic) that one mistake, like not sending Vicky home when Amy had the chance, could have cost Amy the $250,000. There is no guarantee that she would have been the winner but now she is not even in the running for the Biggest Loser house prize simply because she made 1 wrong decision.

Any surprises on the biggest Loser tonight? Not really.

I could not believe the way that they blue team ganged up on the black team tonight. The way that they picked off Michelle and then Renee was just awful. It made me think about how the blue team last season ganged up on Kelly and Ali. We all saw how that turned out.

What goes around comes around and I am sure that this blue team will see the same end result as what the blue team did last season.

What ever happened to good sportsmanship and fair play?

I have seen the black team tell members of the blue team “Good job” when someone lost a large amount of weight. But tonight, when Michelle and Renee did such a great job was there anyone on the blue team big enough to tell them “Good job”? NO!

I’ve been pretty sure all week that Amy would probably be going home tonight. Not that I am happy about it but I could see the way the winds blowing and once Amy voted to keep Vicky on it was just a matter of time before Vicky made sure that Amy went home.

I too have been a trusting person and I have learnt the hard way that many people just cannot be trusted no matter who they are. Even family or friends of many years can turn on you with no apparent reason. When money is involved there is an even greater risk as money can do funny things to people. It is sad because we should put family and friends first. We should homor our word and be able to trust others to do the same.

Alas, that is not the world we live in today. It is sad but it is true.

I was a bit concerned about Michelle & Renee but My God they did AWESOME!!!

I was so happy when Renee got her 8 pound loss and was safe. Then came Michelle’s turn and I was hoping and praying that she would have at least an 8 pound loss too.

I told my son that he had better cover his ears when they showed Michelle’s weight loss and sure enough I was jumping around, screaming, laughing.

10 lbs…. TEN POUNDS!!!! We are so proud of you Michelle and Renee. You have worked hard and you have done such an awesome job and all the while you have done nothing but shown class.

OMG! This was an EXCELLENT show. I would have much prefered to see Vicky going home but to see Michelle and Renee safe and getting to stay on the ranch was wonderful.
I feel bad for Amy but we all saw it coming. There is no way that Vicky would vote to keep Amy there after she sent Brady home.

But, did you see that Vicky actually did consider sending Heba home? All the time that they have been on the ranch together, on the same team and when push came to shove she actually thought about sending Heba home?

Vicky is only out for Vicky and anyone that gets in her way had better watch out.
Ok so, Renee and Michelle are there for at least another week. I am hoping that next week Vicky will fall below the yellow line again, and that this time, the mother/daughter team and the husband/wife team will send Vicky packing!

Is the Biggest Loser tv show biased?

My son and I have been talking about how some people are saying that the Biggest Loser tv show is biased. That they are showing bad things to make Vicky and Heba look bad and for drama.

We have come to the conclusion that even IF Biggest Loser IS being biased for ratings, or whatever, that they would not have the ammunition to do so if Vicky and Heba were not actually saying and doing these things. Biggest Loser cannot produce video of these hateful acts and these words coming out of their mouths if they never said them.

So, even if Biggest Loser were being biased the fact remains that Vicky and Heba have acted like this at some point during the week and they have said these things. As far as we are concerned, biase on Biggest Loser’s part does not negate the fact that Vicky and Heba need to learn some basic human decency and to grow up.

Yes, money brings out the worst in a lot of people and here we have been seeing some prime examples of that fact. Should Biggest Loser have tried to capitalized on the behaviour of Vicky and Heba? I could see showing a little of it on the show but maybe the worst parts should be put on their site as bonus video for those who would choose to view it?

This way watching the Biggest Loser tv show would give you the idea that all is not well with Vicky and Heba but the controversy would not be pushed down the throats of people that are just watching to get inspiration & hope and that do not want to see all of this drama.

Personally the drama has not bothered me. Let me rephrase that, the fact that the Biggest Loser has aired all of this drama has not bothered me as much as the fact that these 2 women are actually acting like this.

I would rather see the truth of how the contestants are so that I know that I am cheering on the people that deserve to have us cheering them on and that they are the ones that really deserve to win the money.

On the other hand I can see that there are a lot of people that are very upset about Biggest Loser showing all of this drama on tv. Many people watch this family show with their children and don’t like their kids seeing this kind of behaviour.

As for myself? I think that children will see this behaviour throughout their life and what better way to show them how not to act than to watch Biggest Loser together and point out how awful Vicky and Heba are acting and let your children see how these women are embarassing themselves on national television.

I like to take advantage of times like these to point out life lessons and this has been a perfect example- even though I didn’t need to point out anything, as my son piped right up about how awful they were behaving even before I had a chance to say anything :0)

Good Point, Candy

Candy brought up something that my son and I thought right as soon as it happened.
When Brady and Vicky went in to tell Heba how Phil had been bad mouthing her the first thing out of my son’s mouth- just as I was about to say the same thing- was Did Phil REALLY say that or are they just trying to turn Heba against Phil?
There has been no video showing that Phil said anything bad about Heba. Come ON! Even when Vicky got Phil’s wife Amy upset with her nasty (Vicky’s) remarks the worst Phil said was that he thought that Vicky should go and apologize to his wife for upsetting her.
This doesn’t sound like someone that is going and saying sad things about Heba.
To us it seems more likely that Vicky and Brady were trying to turn Heba against Phil and she bought it Hook, Line and Sinker!
After the way that Brady and Vicky have behaved on the Biggest Loser tv show I have to say that I would believe something that Phil said LONG BEFORE I WOULD BELIEVE ONE WORD OUT OF VICKY OR BRADY’S MOUTH!
If they said it was a beautiful day I would look outside to see.
If we are right and they were just playing Heba she should be embarassed that she fell for it and went on to act the way that she did.
Up until that point we liked Heba but her behaviour and attitude has just gone downhill since then and all she seems to be at this point is a ‘Vicky Wannabe’- UGH! I shudder at the thought! One Vicky is bad enough.
And Brady? Threatening Phil over what? Saying that Vicky should apologize? Well, I guess the truth HURTS. Asking Vicky to apologize is such a small thing after how badly she has behaved. What? Has ‘queen icky Vicky’ never had to apologize before?
Well, maybe it is about time

‘VICKY has no ANKLES’

Hey ‘VICKY has no ANKLES’ I created a poll with your idea in mind :0)
So everyone, go ahead and tell everyone how you REALLY feel about Vicky. There are choices for both good and bad so vote your true feelings and let’s see how the viewers really feel.

Surprising Results?

I have just been looking at the results so far for the Biggest Loser polls- listed to the right if you haven’t voted yet, please do.

While most of the results are a reflection of how I feel I was a bit surprised at some of the results.

Considering how high feelings have been running about Amy voting Coleen off of the Biggest Loser I was a bit surprised that no one has said that they hate her.

Disappointement in Amy seems to be the strong feeling of choice by many Biggest Loser fans. I agree that I too am quite disappointed in Amy not only for voting Coleen off but for keeping Vicky on the show when she has been so miserable to everyone.

Someone mentioned that they think that maybe Vicky and Amy have a game play going? I too wondered why, when they were supposed to be at odds with each other, they were sitting side by side.

I mean, come on! If someone has been calling you a bit** and threatening ‘revenge’ would you want to sit by them if you didn’t have to? It’s not like they had assigned seats and HAD to sit next to each other.

Then you think about Vicky and how she was so mad that she was cussing Amy out and here Amy sent Vicky’s husband Brady home. So under those circumstances, being Vicky (not a pleasant thought but just consider it for a moment :0)lol) would you REALLY want to sit next to the ‘lying, back-stabbing, bit** ‘ that sent your husband home?

And you think about Vicky saying that her and Brady were going to win both the Biggest Loser house price and the Biggest Loser home prize. A bit greedy if you ask me, but if this was Vicky’s plan then didn’t Amy just help to bring it a step closer to possibly becoming a reality?

BUT, on the other hand, I can see WHY Amy would see Brady as a threat and would send him home.

Hmmm…sending Brady home:
Smart move….or game play?
Sending Coleen home:
Stupid move….or game play?

I guess we will just have to keep watching the Biggest Loser if we want to find out.

Personally I was so HAPPY when Amy sent Brady home. I was jumping around and cheering.

Then when Michelle passed on the $5,000 in order to give Vicky the 1 pound penalty I was screaming with joy- true story. My son was a bit upset with me for letting loose with a huge scream only about a foot away from his ear. I bet he sits farther away from me this week! :0)lol

Hey, I’m a Biggest Loser fanatic-I can’t help myself. I get caught up in the excitement of the moment just like so many other Biggest Loser fans out there.

And then when Amy sent Coleen home I was so very disappointed and sad.

Voting to get rid of Vicky seemed the OBVIOUS choice. So, why didn’t Amy vote to get rid of ‘Vile Vicky’?

Like many Biggest Loser fans I have to admit that I REALLY want Vicky to go home. But, even though we love to hate her, we have to admit that this season of Biggest Loser seems to be shaping up to be pretty exciting even if we don’t always agree with the results or the direction that the show has taken.

For those that REALLY arem’t happy with the direction that the Biggest Loser has taken this season keep reading below for what I think could ensure that this doesn’t happen again.

Holding my breath in anticipation. Ok, I’m not literally holding my breath. If I were I would pass out and probably hit my head and miss tomorrow nights episode of Biggest Loser. Can’t have that, can we? :0)

I’m hoping that Michelle or Renee wins the Biggest Loser. I don’t want Vicky to win. Nor would I be happy to see Heba get the prize money after her awful behaviour.

As for Amy? She’s from my home state. She DID vote Brady off. But she also voted Coleen off. Right now I’m not sure if I want Amy to win or not.

I know that Michelle and Renee have shown class the entire time that they have been on the Biggest Loser tv show. I would much prefer to see either Michelle or Renee win the Biggest Loser in house prize.
Good usually wins out over evil- let’s hope that that holds true for Biggest Loser and the world! :0)

Should you quit watching the Biggest Loser?

I soak up anything to do with Biggest Loser like a sponge.

In my travels through the world of the Biggest Loser I have noticed some people saying that they aren’t going to watch Biggest Loser anymore.

On the opposite end of the scale I am seeing some people say that they are watching Biggest Loser even more this season just because of all of the drama and shenanigans.

I even came across 1 person that said that they love VickyOkay, I REALLY don’t understand how anyone- other than her mother- could love Vicky with the way that she acts. And I got to wonder how even her mother could love her with how nasty she is. But, I guess there are all kinds out there and that is what keeps this world from being a boring place.

I completely understand being fed up with the behavior of Vicky and Heba. BUT, before you stop watching the show please think about this….

-The Biggest Loser still helps a LOT of people and we shouldn’t let Vicky ruin that

-While there have been some truly childish acts by some of the contestants there have also been some very unselfish acts by others. While some people need to grow up-others have shown true class.

-Biggest Loser is saving lives. Even though the focus this season seems to be all of the drama of Vicky and Heba there have still been glimpes of the true nature of the Biggest Loser TV show.

We have seen contestants go from despair over their weight gain and hope for better health to showing support for their family member as well as fellow team members. Certain classy members have reached across the ‘team’ borders to show support and encouragement for other Biggest Loser contestants.

Now, if you are REALLY upset to the point that you want to quit watching why don’t you try these measures first?

-Write to the Biggest Loser and
A. complain about the direction this season is taking. Ask for them to show more of the POSITIVE parts of the show like they used to

B. ask that rules be created to avoid this situation in the future. Contestants like Vicky and Heba should be warned and then if they continue with this behavior they should be sent home and bring back someone that was sent home in order to replace the booted off contestant

C. another idea might be to break up the prize so that there are 3 Biggest Loser house winners with first place getting $150.000, second place getting $75,000 and then the third place getting $25,000the home prize could be split up to allow first place to get $75,000 and $25,000 for the second place home Biggest Loser contestant.

By splitting up the prizes there would be more winners of smaller prizes and should help to get rid of all of this game play greediness we are seeing by certain Biggest Loser contestants this season.

This way we can see more people winning as well as reduce the possibility of a repeat of this nastiness.If enough people contact Biggest Loser about this we could help make it an even better TV show.

But, if enough people quit watching the Biggest Loser then Vicky wins BIG TIME.
1. She would then be known for the person that closed down the Biggest Loser.
2.She would be one of the LAST contestants of the biggest Loser so this too would make her famous. She’s already going down for being the WORST Biggest Loser contestant for her behavior so let’s not give her more power than she already ‘thinks’ she has.

-Tape the show and fast forward past the parts you don’t like. This way you can still watch the Biggest Loser but you don’t have to be subjected to the bad behavior and drama of Vicky and Heba

Biggest Loser ’spoiler’

If you don’t want to know ahead of time who is going to be number 1 on the leaderboard of the Biggest Loser tv show then wait and watch Tuesday nights showing of The Biggest Lser. But, if you would like a sneak peak before the tv show then keep reading.
When watching the previews of The Biggest Loser and stopping while the leaderboard is showing it can be seen that the Biggest Loser leaderborad for this week’s show (November 25th) will be…

Vicky
Ed
Heba
Amy C.

Who falls below the yellow line?

Renee ?
Michelle?
What about Michelle & Renee? They are the only Biggest Loser contestants left to weigh in at that time so it is anybody’s guess.

Personally I think that Michelle usually puts out pretty consistant weight loss numbers so I think that it is entirely possible that she will again this week which could put Amy below the yellow line with Heba and if that happens I see Amy going home.

After the stunt that she pulled this last week by voting for Coleen to go home I think that Amy is on her own. Who will vote to save her?

Ed, Heba and Vicky are buddies. So now Amy has put herself, with last weeks vote, in a position where she will probably be the one to go home

Her stupidity, by voting Coleen off the show instead of Vicky, will come back to bite her in the butt big time!

Disappointed in Michigan…

I have been a fan of Biggest Loser for years and, though I am disappointed in ‘the powers that be’ for not getting Vicky off the show due to her bahaviour, I still want the show to continue on doing the good that it is doing for people.

And YES, even with the bad behaviopur of Vicky, Heba and Brady the Biggest Loser show is still doing good for a LOT of people.

As a Michigan native I was so happy to have someone from Michigan on the show. I was EXTREMELY happy after Amy voted Brady off. AND I was so SURE that Vicky, with her awful attitude, would be gone this week.

I CANNOT BELIEVE that Amy did not vote Vicky off after how Vicky has been to her and everyone else.

This makes no sense.

Amy voted Brady off for herself as she saw Brady as a threat.Then she goes and gets rid of Coleen who was her team mate first. Coleen is less of a threat as she has less weight left to lose and she has played the game through with class the entire time- unlike Vicky.

The black team would have had Amy’s back if she had voted to get Vicky off of the show.

Now Amy has put herself in a position where the black team will no longer vote to keep her there and you can GUARANTEE that if Amy falls below the yellow line that all of the blue team will be voting her off. As far as the other contestants are now concerned, she has shown everyone there that she has no loyalties to anyone and cannot be trusted.

I was soooooo happy when Michelle declined the $5,000 in favor of giving Vicky the 1 pound disadvantage. I was so SURE that Vicky was FINALLY going home! :0))

Then Amy goes and votes off Coleen instead of Vicky. Gawd Amy What were you thinking?

I LOVE The Biggest Loser but I do not like Vicky and I do NOT want her to have the opportunity to win Biggest Loser and be so richly rewarded for her awful behaviour whiler she has been on the Biggest Loser.

In my home we do not reward bad behaviour and it makes me sick to think that, with behaviour like hers, Vicky could possibly win the Biggest Loser.

Then there is Ed. I liked Ed when they first came on. Even though I would have prefered to have Phil or Stacey win the challenge and come back on to the Biggest Loser show I thought that having Ed back might get Heba to see reason and that they would ALL wake up and see that getting Vicky off of the show is the best for the Biggest Loser and everyone on it.

My son and I thought that perhaps Ed would see that getting Vicky of of the show would be best for them too as she is a lose cannon and only out for herself.But, Ed went along with the pack and voted for Coleen.

Right now, like many others out there, I am not pleased with Amy’s decision. To be honest, I don’t see Amy having any chance of winning after she has stabbed everyone else their in the back through voting off team mates from both her most recent team and her original team on the Biggest Loser.

I am sure that the other contestants are all looking at her and figuring that they can’t trust ger to vote to save them if they need it so, much as I hate to have to say it, I think that they will be sending Amy home the first chance that they get.

Though it would be nice to have a fellow Michigander win, I just don’t see Amy being able to stay on for much longer if she would fall below the yellow line.

I get caught up in the show. I LOVE the Biggest Loser! When my son gets upset about my screaming at the tv I remind him that I don’t drink, smoke or use drugs and that I REALLY enjoy watching the Biggest Loser. Since it doesn’t cost anything and it won’t hurt me I think he could do a LOT worse than having a mother that is addicted to the Biggest Loser :0)
