Thursday, April 26th, 2012Biggest Loser Season 13 Week 17
Tuesday, April 24th, 2012Well tonight, April 24, 2012 is the last episode with the contestants on the ranch. Next week is the live finale. Yes, it is here already! Who can believe it?
We left off last week with Alison calling in all the eliminated contestants (minus Mark and Buddy who walked off the ranch last week).
Alison Sweeny made it clear that if you walk off the ranch that you are NOT eligible for the prize money.
Gee, who could she have been talking about? Jlol
The eliminated players are back for a chance to fight for the last spot in the finale. Jeremy is determined that he will win and be back in the final 3.
The contestants find out that there will be a 4 part challenge and the one that wins will be the third contestant in the Biggest Loser finale next week.
The first part is a weigh-in to see who has lost the most weight since they first stepped on the ranch. The top 8 contestants go on to the next round and the bottom 7 leave the Biggest Loser Ranch for good.
Here are the results of the weigh-in:
Jeremy lost 150lbs. 38.56%
Chris 240- 74=166 30.83%
Megan 259- 70=189 27.03%
Kimmy 219-65=154 29.68%
Emily 264- 89+175 33.71%
Cassandra 239- 81=158 33.89%
Lauren 246-74 =172 (more than 63) 30.08%
Mike 358-114=244 (more than 95) 31.84%
Chism 361- 96=265 26.59% eliminated
Daphne 271- 67 lbs=204 24.72% eliminated
Roy 306-79 = 227 ( more than 75) 25.82% eliminated
Adrian 370-79=291(more than 95) 21.35% eliminated
Nancy 217-49=168(more than 56) 22.58% eliminated
Gail 322-73=249 (more than 83) 22.67% eliminated
Ben 396-99=297(more than 107) 25.00% eliminated
Those that go on to the next round of this competition are:
- Jeremy
- Cassandra
- Emily
- Chris
- Kimmy
- Lauren
- Mike
- Megan
Jeremy is worried about not being the 3rd finalist. Conda gives him a pep talk and then asks him if he wants to be alone. “Sure” Jeremy says. Conda says “Don’t be a Donny Downer all night” as she walks out the door. J
Dolvett gets the makings for sandwiches and says to Jeremy “You’re not even a cook and you can make sandwiches like these”
Jeremy smiles and says “If I can do it, anyone can”
Mike has made such great strides. He is so much happier and nicer to be around. He has lost a lot of weight but it goes so much deeper than that. We are proud of you Mike. You have come so far J
Chris was told that since she is not medically cleared to compete in this challenge that she will not be in the final 3.
Ok, so the next challenge is for everyone to run 100 yards- the same place that they all ran 40 yards on the first day. Only the first five to cross the finish line will be able to move on to part 3 of the challenge.
Who are the 5 to cross the finish line first?
- Cassandra
- Lauren
- Megan
- Mike
- Jeremy
The 3rd challenge has the contestants having to complete a puzzle like they did in their very first challenge. They each have a stack of puzzle pieces and they need to match the food with the correct amount of calories. Only three will be able to move on to the final round.
- Mike
- Jeremy
- Lauren
The 4th challenge is all about endurance. The contestants have to balance on top of a post while holding onto a ticket to the finale. They have to keep their hand on their ticket and be the last person still standing in order to win their spot in the final 3.
Jeremy spent the whole time talking and trying to psyche the other 2 contestants out. He concentrated on Lauren first.
Ali asked Conda if Jeremy is like this at home. Conda says “What? Relentless?”
Ali said yes and Conda said…
“YES!”
Ali told Jeremy that he had been talking for 50 minutes straight and Lauren asked for earplugs 
lol
They went to 1 foot at about 2 hours and 21 minutes.
Who do you think is going to win it?
Lauren started to get dizzy and then she fell after standing on 1 foot for over 10 minutes. She fell at 2 hours and 35 minutes.
Now it is down to being between Mike or Jeremy.
We are at 3 hours now.
Who will last?
3 hours and 10 minutes.
Both are figeting. Who will fall?
Mike fell.
And Jeremy is the winner!
Conda starts crying happy tears for her brother and gives him a hug.
Who is happy that Jeremy made it back to be the third person in the final 3?
I am sure that some people will be happy and others of you will be really upset.
I find it ironic that the final 3 are all people that everyone was disgusted with earlier in the season. I do think that these 3 have grown during their time at he Biggest Loser Ranch.
Sure Conda still has a bit more growing to do as noticed when she said that Jeremy deserved to be there at the ranch more than Kim when Jeremy only lost the 10 pounds last week.
I understand that she was upset and disappointed but Kim worked hard too and when all is said and done many think that Conda is only in the final 3 because Jeremy helped her through so many challenges.
But, I think that Conda has improved and I will give her credit for that. She realized how awful she acted and sounded and she was embarrassed and ashamed at her behavior.
I am not saying that she is an Angel but I do give her credit for the changes she has made in how she is both inside and out.
I did notice back a while ago that Kim and Conda weren’t so buddy buddy anymore and have noticed great improvements in Kim’s behavior for some time now.
I think that so much of people being upset with Jeremy was because he is Conda’s brother and because he kept helping her. So many people wanted to see Conda go home.
In seeing this and not being one to like people being rewarded for bad behavior I went ahead and started a petition to get the producers to either re-edit the show (if Conda wasn’t as bad as we were being led to believe that she was) or to not allow Conda to win at the finale. If they even would allow her to attend due to her conduct while on the Biggest Loser Ranch.
It wasn’t that I was out to get Conda. I simply was upset and saw that many of you all were too and wanted to go about changing something that I felt was wrong in the right way (unlike a couple of people I could mention).
Well, we got quite a few signatures (thank you -smile) and we got the Biggest Loser producers to make changes in how the show was edited. This made for a much nicer show to watch.
While watching up until this time I found myself screaming at the tv and getting so angry. Where as before I would yell at the tv but I also laughed and cried tears of joy for the contestants.
I know some of you have still been upset at how Season 13 of Biggest Loser has been but I saw enough of an improvement that I was able to once again enjoy my favorite show.
Sure, I still found myself wanting Conda to go home. Partly because I was still upset over her past behavior and partly because of things that she would do or say that week.
But, even though I am still disgusted with her initial behavior, I am one to give a person a second chance if they are attempting to change what they did wrong and I do feel that Conda has been doing so.
That doesn’t necessarily mean that she would be my first pick for the Biggest Loser Season 13 finale but I won’t feel so badly if she were to win as what I would have a couple of months or so ago.
Now who do I really want to win?
I don’t know. My absolute first choices are in the running for the at home prize. I do feel like I would choose between Jeremy and Kim simply because a part of me does feel that maybe Conda would not have made it this far if Jeemy hadn’t helped her so many times.
Kim was pretty awful at first too. Maybe not as bad as Conda but she got sucked into the whole drama thing and had her moments too.
Hmm…Jeremy? Was he really that bad or was he just guilty by association? Being Conda’s brother probably got him a lot of flack but was it warranted?
I am not sure.
But with the changes and the growth that I have seen in these three I don’t think that I will find myself screaming at the tv next Tuesday night (May 1st?). It will nice to be able to actually enjoy it.
It seems like Biggest Loser Season 13 has been so long and yet in some ways it has gone by so fast. I look forward to seeing the finale and finding out who wins it but I am sad to see it go. I hate going a whole Summer without a new Biggest Loser to look forward to untill Fall.
Yet it looks like this Summer will be a busy one for Josh and I. So while we will miss Biggest Loser and all of you we will look forward to seeing you all again this Fall. We will post anytime w have something new to tell you about the Biggest Loser and/or it’s contestants.
BTW, we do have some things to tell you about some current and former contestants and we are sure that as Summer progresses there will be more. We will post these items asap so please continue to check back here often.
I plan on posting some on Saturday and of course we will see you next week
Take care
Biggest Loser Season 13 Week 9 what will happen tonight?
Tuesday, February 28th, 2012Well, tonight (February 28, 2012) there will be a Biggest Loser family reunion. All of the remaining players will return home for emotional reunions with their loved ones. Sincethey will all be at their homes I expect this episode of Biggest Loser to be an emotional one without all of the drama- well at least until they get back to the ranch for the weigh-in ?lol
Then, after 18 days they will all return to the Biggest Loser ranch and face the dreaded weigh-in. Who do you think will fall below the yellow line and be eliminated in Biggest Loser week 9?
So, the 11 remaining players this week will be given the chance to gain immunity by losing 5% of their body weight. They also compete individually in a home rowing challenge where the winner will win $10,000. The winner won’t be determined until after every-one weighs in. The player that loses enough weight will gain immunity and win the cash prize.
In my research I found out that there will be an emotional elimination this week on Biggest Loser. It might be one of the most emotional eliminations this season as one player might not be sent home because of the votes, but could be sent home because of a health issue. Now if you have seen the preview then you might think that it will be Chris. Then again, there have been times that Biggest Loser contestants have looked really bad in the preview and after being checked out were fine, or had to be in the hospital for a while but then continued on the Biggest Loser once it was determined that they were ok to compete.
The producers at Biggest Loser have gotten sneaky and have figured out that some people slow down the preview and find out who lost what weight amount, etc. They now mix things up so that you can’t do that and sometimes an emotional reaction might not be about what you thought it was from seeing the preview. I find this annoying as He** as I was one of the ones that slowed down the preview to figure out what was going to happen and who was probably going home due to their weight-loss amount. I can’t do that anymore so I spend a LOT of time researching to find out what I can about upcoming episodes. Gall darn (that is d a r n not dam) their hides for making more work for me! ?LOL
Ok, so who will be leaving tonight? Who do you want it to be? I bet most of you are saying “CONDA!” ?LOL
I hope so too but I am thinking that the Biggest Loser contestants walking off the set last week was probably instigated by Conda. If so, then I would think that she was one of the two contestants that were eliminated by Biggest Loser producers. So, we might not get to see her leave for a few weeks. BUT, I feel pretty confident that Conda goes home before getting a chance to win the $250,000. When I found out that 2 of the Biggest Loser contestants were eliminated for walking off the set I felt that the whole debacle was most likely one of Conda’s bright ideas and as such the producers would have to send her packing.
Follow us on Face-book (link on the right side of the page) and we will be posting some comments about tonight’s Biggest Loser episode, who was eliminated and if Chris got sent to the hospital, how she is doing, etc.
Biggest Loser- Sherry Goes Home
Tuesday, March 16th, 2010We find Daris realizing that his mom, Cheryl, was sent home. He seems upset but puts on a smile for everyone.
Josh brings up about how Daris is not letting his feelings out and talking about what is bothering him which is what helped to get him to the size he was when he came on The Biggest Loser ranch.
My feeling is that he had the chance to say goodbye, he KNEW that his mom going home was a possibility and yet he barely looked at her.
This is a far cry from how close they were when they came on the show.
Actually I am seeing changes in several of the blue team members that I don’t like. I do not understand why some people, when they start to lose a lot of weight, change.
Did they use to be like that before they gained the weight?
Or is it all about losing the weight and starting to look good and that it changes them?
You see, when Daris and Cheryl came on the show they were always talking to each other and hugging. I thought that it was great that they had such a good relationship.
Yet when Daris knew that his mom might be the one to go home he acted like he wasn’t even going to say anything to her, he didn’t go give her a hug goodbye and it seemed that when he did say anything he wouldn’t even look at her and he seemed a bit ‘cool’ towards her
I see the same kind of changes in Koli since the teams went to black and blue. He doesn’t seem to talk with Sam anymore despite the fact that he said that their being on different teams wouldn’t change anything that they would still be cousins.
Sam, on the other hand, is the bigger man as far as I am concerned. He praised up Koli’s weight loss when they had the weigh-in. And he said, in a great reminder to all of the contestants, that “THIS is what it’s all about not black or blue”
Anyway, so the contestants had to do a pop challenge and it was trivia about what they have learned since being on the Biggest Loser ranch.
For each correct answer they get a point and the first team to get three points wins.
The prize? A day (and night) at The Four Seasons.
The loser’s have to clean the kitchen and the gym
Now, we love the black team but we know that when teams get a prize like this and they get to do the whole spa thing that it usually shows up badly on the scale come the weigh-in.
So, even though we know that the black team would have loved to go have the day off and get massages (and that they deserved it) we were hoping that they wouldn’t win this challenge..
Cleaning the kitchen and the gym isn’t the most pleasant of tasks but it would give the black team extra workout time -after all cleaning IS exercise :0)
And the most important thing for us is for the black team to win the weigh-in
As much as I don’t like how Michael has been behaving I admire the fact that he left the ranch to be at her side when he found out her health was bad
We hope that she will be ok
The cooking challenge was interesting. To be able to create 3 courses using only 12 ingrediants?
The prize- a 5 POUND Advantage? OOOOHHHH!!!
We were hoping that the black team would win it. We have been hoping that the blue team would have to send someone home. The blue team has such an advantage already so a 5 pound advantage would help to even things up a bit.
I don’t remember the Biggest Loser ever having given a 5 pound advantage before.
If you haven’t already figured it out- we were happy to see the black team win the cooking challenge and get the 5 pound advantage. The weigh-in should be interesting this week
Josh and I realized that we really like when the blue team has to weigh-in first as it makes it so much easier to know how much weight loss to root for as each team member gets weighed.After all, you want them to lose enough to win but not enough to put them at a disadvantage next week
Well, when all was said and done the blue team won again. The black team had a weight loss of 2.5% while the blue team ended up with a 3.11% weight loss.
Even though the blue team has all those big guys that pull big numbers the black team still gave it a great try. They might not win the weigh-ins for losing weight but they sure do win for having heart and not giving up despite the odds.
So, the black team ended up having to send another team member home. It was sad to see Sherry go home but boy did she look great in the update-didn’t she?
I must say that I don’t like how the blue team has been behaving since they went black verses blue and I know that there are others that feel the same way. But, I guess we won’t be having to worry about that for much longer since the teams will be disolved soon.
Well, until next week.
Later :0)
Biggest Loser Tracey Goes Home
Tuesday, November 3rd, 2009What can I say about this week’s Biggest Loser show? For us, it was a dream come true. Believe me, there was a lot of cheering going on here and I am sure, by what I have been seeing and hearing, that the same was true for many other homes as well.
Tracey found a place in our heart when she collapsed the first week before she could even get on the Biggest Loser ranch. We worried about her while she was in the hospital and hoped that Moe could keep them there so that Tracey would have the chance to utilize the Biggest Loser facilities and to gain the necessary knowledge she needed from Bob and Jillian.
If we had known then what we know now we probably wouldn’t have (Ok, we definitely wouldn’t have) been rooting for her so much.
It seemed that right from the moment that Tracey came on the Biggest Loser ranch that she was all about ‘the game’. I understand that, to a certain extent, many people are. But, she was so obvious about it. She lied and she backstabbed people that trusted her.
THAT is what I don’t like. And as soon as Tracey started doing that…..we kicked her right out of that place she had been in inside our heart. Well, maybe not ‘as soon as’ , we did try to give her the benefit of the doubt. After all, maybe it was panic because she wouldn’t be able to exercise like the other contestants were.
But, with one dumb, or mean, move after another we found ourselves beginning to truly dislike Tracey. From everything we have seen and heard, both online and off, it seems that Tracey brought out a lot of anger, and for some it seems she brought out hate, in many people.
The more that we watched Tracey the more it seemed like we had another Vicky on the show. She made us want her to have to go home NOW! But week after week she managed to win challenges and stay above the yellow line. Even when she fell below the yellow line and we were certain that this was our moment, that this was going to be the week that Tracey actually went home… she always managed to stay.
When Tracey fell below the yellow line we were certain that with how she had backstabbed so many people on the Biggest Loser ranch that she would be sent home without hesitation. Yet Liz didn’t follow through on her promise to ‘send Tracey home the first chance she got’ and Moe stepped in and gave up his opportunity to stay on the ranch. We couldn’t believe that Moe took the fall for Tracey.
Well, as the weeks wore on I had nightmares of Tracey being a finalist and actually winning the prize money- UGH… the HORROR! I hate the idea of someone that lies and backstabs winning the money and being someone that people should ‘look up to’
We found ourselves wishing, and praying, that Tracey would go home. In our opinion, there were much more deserving people on the show that were dealing with the issues that got them where they were.
Well, we FINALLY got to see Tracey sent home! Actually, after how Liz didn’t send Tracey packing as she promised, and how she then turned around and became best friends with her, our opinion of Liz became lower and lower. We began wanting Liz to go home nearly as much as Tracey.
So, to have both Liz and Tracey face going home was an unexpected treat after so many weeks of seeing these two still on the ranch while people that we liked were being sent home one after another.
This was, without a doubt, one of our favorite Biggest Loser episodes this season.
How do you feel? Did you like Tracey? Were you happy or sad to see her get sent home?
BTW, after Biggest Loser was done did you happen to catch Tracey on The Jay Leno show? We couldn’t believe how much weight she had lost. Since she didn’t seem to deal with the issues that got her on the Biggest Loser ranch in the first place how did she manage to lose so much weight?
There has been talk that she was using diet pills while on the ranch- why else would she lose so much (enough to stay above the yellow line) when she couldn’t exercise? I can’t imagine that the Biggest Loser would allow that as it is in their rules that you cannot use diet pills. But, it does make me wonder if that could be how she managed to lose so much after she went home. I am not saying she did, I am just saying that it makes me wonder.
And did you notice that she still is all about ‘the game’? When Jay asked her how much she weighs now she wouldn’t tell because she doesn’t want the other contestants to know how much weight she has lost
Sorry Tracey if the truth hurts but I got to say that I am glad you went home. The Biggest Loser ranch is a much better place without people like you there. I also must admit that I am hoping that you don’t win the Biggest Loser at home prize. People that would step on those that they call friends just to get to the top are not people that should be rewarded for it.
Biggest Loser last week and tonight
Wednesday, October 21st, 2009Hi All.
I am sorry that I didn’t post last week. I had every intention of doing so until the last few minutes of Biggest Loser.
I really enjoyed the show and from how everything was going we were so SURE that Tracey was going home.
I don’t know about all of you but Josh and I are fed up with her being all about ‘the game’ and how she has stabbed every one in the back.. but that’s ok because it’s just ‘a game’
It seemed like everything was lining up just perfectly and Tracey was going home. We were laughing and so happy because we were so sure that we had seen the last of her so that the rest of the players could get back to being supportive like they were before she kept pushing ’the game, the game’
Liz was talking about how southern women get even, how she was going to be so nice to Tracey and then send her home first chance she got and she wouldn’t even see it coming.
Then Coach MO spoke up and all of that went right down the drain.
WHAT HAPPENED????
Did everyone conveniently forget how Tracey had stabbed them all in the back?
So anyway, all through Biggest Loser last week everything seemed to be on the right track and we were getting so excited and then…..
They sent Coach MO home :0(
So tonight we sat down to watch Biggest Loser not really sure how things would go.
to be honest we still had hope that maybe the blue team would wake up and see Tracey for what she is and that if they had to send someone home it would be her.
All through the challenge we were rooting for the black team. Sorry Bob, we love you, but we just cannot stand Tracey.
It just seems like Vickey all over again
Does anyone else out there see the similarities?
Vickey made that whole season absolute misery
Is Tracey going to do the same this season? Isn’t she already?
Okay, so the blue team sent the black team home for the week thinking that it would give them the advantage.
So at the weigh-in the blue team went first and I must say that for the fact that the blue team was there at the Biggest Loser ranch all week their numbers were not that impressive.
Then the black team got up to get weighed. Even though they had been home all week we had great hopes for the, From what we had seen it looked like they all did pretty good. They seemed to make good choices and exercised.
Then the numbers that they were putting up weren’t very good. We started to worry that the black team would be sending someone home. Then Danny got up there and pulled off a 15 pound weight loss.
FIFTEEN POUNDS!!!
Dan only had to lose 11 pounds and the black team would be safe.
11 pounds….
We were so sure that Dan had it, that he could do this.
Then the horrifying news that Dan had gained a pound
G A I N E D!
OMG!
of all people Dan gained a pound. we couldn’t believe it. then we were worried that Dan would get sent home. He finally had a break through and might be able to finally deal with the emotional issues that got him where he was when he came on the ranch last season.
Don’t get me wrong, we like Dina too but we really would like to see Dan go to the finale.
So how does everyone else feel about Tracey? How do you like how the show has been the last couple of weeks?
Are we the only ones wanting Tracey to go home? I wouldn’t think so.
Go ahead and leave your comments and let us know what you think about Tracey and the Biggest Loser…
Later

Biggest Loser Season 8-week 4
Wednesday, October 7th, 2009Boy tonight’s Biggest Loser was really good.
What a challenge to only be there for 3 weeks and then to have to order all of your meals and not know what extra oils and salts have been added
I think that everyone did a pretty good job with their choices. I do have to wonder if the orders may have been messed up on purpose so that the contestants would learn how to deal with these things happening at home
After the preview from last week Josh & I were sure that Tracey not being able to exercise was karma for how she was last week. We thought it was terrible that MO would have to have all of this pressure, since day 1, to be able to keep them both there.
Franky, I must be honest that after how Tracey was last week we were both hoping that she would be going home. She is so much about playing the game that I just don’t think that she is learning what she needs to, and dealing with whatever it is that got her where she is, because she is so focused on ‘the game’
What about the challenge where the contestants had to hold themselves above the water like that?
Shay? WOW Girl! You did GREAT!
As contestants were dropping off into the water we couldn’t believe that Shay was doing so well. She outdid so many that weight less than she does. Shay you should be so proud of yourself!
When it got down to the last 2 teams- orange or green- it was difficult to know who to root for. Dan is a fav from last season and has definitely won a place in our heart. Shay needs to be there so for Dan to win immunity for them both would be wonderful :0)
Green team has it’s place in our heart too though. And Abby has really touched us. Having gone through so much hardship and loss of those we love, we understand the devastation that Abby has faced. We are so proud of her and how she has kept going when others would have given up.
Yehhhhh! To Dan for winning immunity for him and Shay. Hard to believe that Dan was only on for 4 weeks last time and yet he made such an impression on us and so many others.We are happy that he will be on longer this time and we hope that he will continue to the finals :0)
I have so much more to say but it is late and I have work tomorrow so I will have to stop for now. More later :0)
Biggest Loser Pigout?
Tuesday, June 30th, 2009I was just reading an article that talked about how so many people do not know when they are full.
When do you know that you are full?
Is it when your plate is empty?
When the food is gone?
When everyone else is done eating?
Did you know that there are a lot of people out there that consider the start of the Biggest Loser tv show to be their signal to start pigging out?
That people gather their friends and family as well as a table full of snacks in order to pig out during the Biggest Loser?
The Biggest Loser being used for a pig out fest?
I cannot imagine. I very seldom even eat while the Biggest Loser tv show is on. And I sure the heck try to avoid eating fattening food while watching it.
I don’t know about you but it just doesn’t seem RIGHT to pig out while watching a show about losing weight and getting healthy.
I may ‘pig out’ on occasion by having a treat or maybe eating a bit more than I probably should but I sure do not use the Biggest Loser as my excuse for loading up on junk food and stuffing my face
Do people think that they will be able to watch the Biggest Loser and just lose weight automatically?
Can you absorb the results of someone else’s exercise just by watching?
Can you lose weight by simply watching the Biggest Loser tv show?
Is this what people think?
Is that what YOU think?
I know that a lot of the people reading this blog are doing so because they want to lose weight and get healthy
I myself would be ashamed to pig out during the Biggest Loser tv show. It almost seems, I don’t know….sacrilegious?
It just doesn’t feel right.
Yes the Biggest Loser is entertaining and we love to watch it for it’s entertainment value.
BUT, if you are watching it in order to try to lose weight and get healthy how can you justify pigging out while doing so?
Heck, even if you are skinny as a rail how long do you think that will last if you continue to pig out for 2 hours every week?
So, if you really want to lose weight try taking a look at your behavior while watching the show.
If you find yourself guilty of indulging too much while watching the Biggest Loser then try making some changes.
Feel the need to snack while the show is on? Try having fruit and vegetable platters at hand or reschedule your HEALTHY, LOW FAT, meal to be eaten while watching the show.
They say that you shouldn’t eat while watching tv as you are not fully enjoying your food and you are much more likely to eat many more calories than you need to but at least eating a healthy, low fat meal would be better than pigging out on high calorie junk food snacks.
Remember Phil and his wife Amy Parham on season 6 of the Biggest Loser? I know that ’evil’ Vicky was who so many were talking about but you should remember Phil and Amy as Vicky couldn’t stand Phil and made Amy cry. Remember?
Now do you remember them talking about pigging out on ice cream while watching the show?
See, a lot of people are guilty of it but you CAN change those behaviors and lose weight.
If they can do it then so can you :0)
Here are a few tips to help you .
Try to avoid eating while watching tv
When you do so then try to have healthy snacks available- fruits, vegies, fruit sorbets, popcorn (pop it yourself and you control how much butter and salt it has on it)
Drink water whenever you feel hungry as sometimes it is really thirst being confused for hunger
Really want that high calorie snack?
Try cutting the portion in half or in quarters. Try having just a quarter of half portion instead. Really want more? Wait 30 minutes. If you still want it then go ahead and have another partial portion.
When you make fattening snacks like cake or brownies the cut them into serving size portions. Have 1 and put the rest in the freezer. By having to wait it gives you time to realize that you are already full so there is no more eating the whole cake and then being depressed when you realize what you have done
Not sure how to tell when you are full? Put only normal sized servings on your plate. It you are unsure of how much this is then look it up on the side of the package or in the recipe.
Eat slowly and chew your food thoroughly. They used to say to chew each bite something like 30 times before swallowing it.
Set your eating utensil down between bites.
Savor the flavor. Don’t have distractions.
Listen to your stomach. When it says you are full then stop eating
Need some help with this? Still can’t tell when you are full? Do you REALLY want to be able to watch something and be able to lose weight simply because you watched it?
Do you think that it is possible?
It IS.
If you are truly serious about losing weight and you know that nothing that you have done so far has worked then right now go over to the right and order the subliminal weight loss software.
All you need to do is have this software going in the background when you are on the computer. You retrain your brain to feel differently about food. This makes it so much easier to lose weight and get healthy. The pounds can melt off without you even realizing it. I know as this is what happened to me.
It is under $20 one time and you can use it to lose the weight and then use it as a refresher every once in a while.
If you could lose weight for under $20 one time and no starving diets or brutal exercising wouldn’t you do it?
Go over and order your software now. It installs easily and starts working immediately once you hit the start button. It even comes pre-loaded with messages and yet you can personalize it with some extra messages of your own.
Try it. You’ll be glad you did. I know I am.
Firm Up & Get Healthy
Monday, June 22nd, 2009While Having FUN!!!
Hi All,
Happy Father’s Day.
As a single Mom I am both Mother and Father to my son. As such I get cards for Mother’s and Father’s Day :0) So, I usually look forward to both holidays. But, today turned out to not be a great day around here.
If any of you have been checking out some of our other blogs you probably already know that we have chickens. I won’t get into the whole story here as this blog is about the Biggest Loser tv show and about helping people to lose weight and get healthy. But, something attacked some of our ‘baby’ chickens last night and killed 5 of 7 of them. The scene this morning was horrific. We raised these from little fuzz balls an to see how they suffered has made me sick to my stomach. Not really feeling like celebrating today.
Anyway, I promised you another way to firm up and get healthy so here you go
The other day I told you about something called isometric exercises which are not only super easy to do but they work great too. The great thing is that it doesn’t cost you anything to do isometric exercises and you can do them pretty much anywhere without most people even knowing that you are exercising.
Another great exercise that you can do that will not only help you to lose weight, firm up but to also get healthy in other ways too.
This one costs a little bit but it is not too expensive and compared with all of the benefits it is well worth it.
What is it?
Rebounding.
Some of you may not know what this is. A re-bounder is simply a mini-trampoline. It doesn’t cost much, we got ours at a rummage sale in like new condition for only $10.
You can set a re-bounder up in front of your tv and use it while you watch your favorite tv show- that could be Biggest Loser once it comes back on this Fall :0)
You simply get on your rebounder and walk, run, or jump your way to health.
If your health is bad you can still get the benefits of using a rebounder by resting your feet on it while sitting in a chair and then let someone else jump on it.
This will work well for those who may be elderly, obese or just have a lot of health problems.
Before you start you should get the ok from your doctor but if your doctor doesn’t think you should do this then ask them if you just rest your feet on the mini-trampoline while someone else uses it or you just gently bounce your feet if it might be ok to try it and see if you can start helping to improve your health this way until you are able to actually get on the rebounder and use it
Using a mini-trampoline, even like this, can help get your blood circulating and help to cleanse your lymph system. Rebounding affects every organ, helps the efficiency of the lymphatic system and even the immune system.
Your lymphatic system is your defense against , viruses, infection, bacteria and even diseases.
It cleans wastes and infection from all tissues of the body and even removes the toxins we absorb from our environment.
If you suffer from a stagnant lymphatic system you could suffer from any one (or more) of these common diseases:
Obesity
Loss of energy
Low back pain
Viral infections
Arthritis
Bacterial infections
Cancer
Prostate problems
Chronic sinus problems
Eczema and other skin conditions
Loss of Energy
Fibrocystic disease
Chronic fatigue
Repetitive trouble with parasites
Multiple Sclerosis
Heart disease
Edema
Lupus
Inflammation
High Blood Pressure
Headaches
Excessive sweating
These are just some of the diseases that affect anyone that has a sluggish lymphatic system. But you don’t have to have an impaired lymphatic system as using a mini-trampoline is one of the, if not THE, best way to improve your lymph system and gain other benefits too.
You can simply start using your mini trampoline for 5-10 minutes to start and build your time up from there. It may not seem like much and it is so much fun you may not want to get off of it :0)lol but even starting for small amounts of time you can gain great health benefits.
Here is a list of how rebounding can help your body:
1. Rebounding helps your lymphatic circulation
2. Rebounding protects your joints from chronic fatigue and trauma caused by the impact caused by exercising on hard surfaces.
3. Rebounding slows down the aging process.

29. Rebounding helps your immune system so it minimizes the number of colds you may have as well as allergies, digestive disturbances, and abdominal problems
30. Last, but not least, Rebounding is FUN!
With all of the benefits of rebounding there is really no reason not to get started using a mini-trampoline as soon as possible.
Now, for some of you, you may be able to get a rebounder at a rummage sale like we did but for those of you that are heavier you might not be able to find one strong enough to hold you.
Keep watching here as I am in talks with a company that makes the best rebounder around. With a 300 pound weight limit which is 50-100 pounds more than any other mini-trampoline around. It also has a safety bar and is low cost. If you haven’t already done so you may want to bookmark us and keep checking back. I will let you know as soon as I am able to offer you this great item to help you to lose weight and get healthy
Hope you all have been trying the isometric exercises I already told you about. Keep at it and you will start to see results :0)
Happy Father’s Day and First Day of Summer :0)
