Hi All,
First of all I would like to apologize for not having blogged about Biggest Loser in so long. I had every intention of doing wonderful posts about Biggest Loser all summer and I couldn’t wait for the new season to start so I could blog about that.
Well, the best laid plans…. :0(
You see, I had all of these plans but God had other ones for me I guess.
This year has been one of the worst years we have had since my Mom died.
2009 started off badly and it has continued to be that way.
As I mentioned before we found our cousin in a pool of blood dead earlier this year. My friend’s sister died 2 days later. Her mother died shortly after that and then her other sister hung herself last month.
We have lost numerous relatives and family friends this year. I lost my job, gained a new one, have had a lot of health issues and the stress has been unbelievable.
I was hoping that I would make enough money online that I wouldn’t have to work outside the home due to my health issues but that has not been the case. I have taken on some part time jobs that have irritated my health issues but I have been thankful to have what money we have had. Though living on less than $10,000 a year is not easy by a long shot.
Ok, anyway. Enough about all of that. I just wanted you to understand why I haven’t been blogging on here like I had planned. It has been a heck of a year.
But, on to the Biggest Loser…
I CANNOT believe tonight’s show. What is up with Tracey???
I am in shock that she thought that 2 pounds was worth not being trained by Bob and Jillian and I do not believe it was fair of her to take it upon herself to choose that and take away the training from her teammate like that.
Then she got control of the game and almost literally threw everyone under the bus.
THEN when we wanted her to go home so bad that we could practically taste it she puts her team in first place putting 2 other teams in the hot seat.
She lied to people and backstabbed and from the previews for next week she doesn’t seem to ‘get it’
Do we have another ‘Vickey’ on our hands here or what? Hmmmm….
I want to applaud Dan for going to bat for Shay and I REALLY must say that I cried like a baby when Antoine and Sean sacrificed themselves for Shay like that.
I had a feeling that they would but I still was amazed that they actually did it. How humbling that even though they wanted to be there they put Shay, and her health, before their own wants
We saw a lot of emotions on the show tonight which is nothing new for Biggest Loser but it sure did bring out the emotions here. Tracey’s behavior has not won her any fans in this home.
Antoine and Sean should be praised for their sacrifice. You two are AMAZING! It was so wonderful to see the results that you both have had at home. WOW! Over 100 pounds each!!!
Shay? We are so glad that you and Dan will be able to stay on Biggest Loser. I know that you have had a hard life but PLEASE Do NOT Give Up!!! You ARE Worth fighting for. You DESERVE to be happy!!! And last but not least…. You CAN Do This!
Many of us have had hard lives. Josh and I have been through Hell and back. A strong person gets back up and brushes them-self off. For all you have been through You ARE a STRONG Person! Don’t give up now. Wonderful things are just ahead for you if you don’t give up.
As always, Biggest Loser has made me laugh, it has made me cry, I have rejoiced in the progress being made and I have been angry by the behavior of one contestant who needs to stop playing the ’game’ and realize why she is there- to lose weight and to deal with the issues that got her there in the first place.
Yes Tracey lost 11 pounds this week- I don’t know how. Even Tracy didn’t know how. That kind of weight loss won’t continue and it won’t last until she deals with the issues that got her obese in the first place and why she behaves the way that she does.
Can’t wait till next week to see what will happen next
I will try to be better about blogging about Biggest Loser each week. Just please understand that if I don’t it is because of all the chaos in my life right now. Earning enough money to pay the bills, buy food and to have heat during the upcoming Michigan winter is top priority right now.
Donations or your purchasing any Biggest Loser items you see listed on this blog would be greatly appreciated and would help to take the pressure off.
Hope you all are well?
How are your weight loss goals coming?
Whatever happens don’t give up trying to lose the weight….
You CAN Do It!!!

Thursday, August 20th, 2009
Well, it is almost here- Biggest Loser season 8 will be starting on September 15th, 2009. For those of us die hard Biggest Loser fans it has been a long time coming :0) For someone who is addicted to the Biggest Loser tv show it has been very hard getting through.
I had planned on re-watching some of the shows from previous seasons during the summer and posting about them but I guess that God, and life, had other plans as we have not had time to watch any of the shows that we have taped. It’s not even completely about being busy, though we really have been, but we have also had a lot of emotional issues to deal with due to the loss of several family members and friends of our family
Anyway on to talking about the new season…
This time around the Biggest Loser will be doing something different. They will not be having couples, as they have so often lately, but will be back to singles. They will be continuing to show
The Biggest Loser will be in 2 hour episodes the same as they have been for the past 3 seasons.
This time around the Biggest Loser researched and studied to see which are America’s fattest cities and the tried to cast in these cities. They also added something in these cities to try to help them to change their ways so that they can lose weight, get healthy and get off the list of America’s fattest cities.
I think that it is great that Biggest Loser is helping so many people to lose weight not only on the ranch but by trying to help get America’s fattest cities off the list.
Biggest Loser is currently casting for season 9 in which they will be going back to the family format. Season 9 will premiere January of 2010
Stay tuned because I will be posting info on the cast for season 8, who they are and a little bit about them

A lot of us that have had a whole lot of fun playing the Biggest Loser memory game where we matched the different contestants before and after pictures.
Now there is a brand new Biggest Loser game and I must say that I am becoming addicted to it :0)LOL
I have surprisingly managed to handle not being able to watch the Biggest Loser tv show. A big part of the reason why not being able to see Biggest Loser all summer hasn’t been as bad as I had thought that it would be (and as bad as it usually is) is because my mind has been so totally consumed by everything that has been going on around here.
The year started off on a really bad foot and has continued to stay that way for the most part.
I was working for my cousin and found her lying in a pool of blood at the bottom of her stairs. She had fallen down her basement steps and hit her head on the cement floor.
We lost a very good friend, our cousin and my job that day.
Since then we have lost more friends and relatives, I have had health problems and we have had car trouble several times that extended into a much bigger ordeal than we had thought and hoped it would be.
On top of all of that, one of my best friend’s lost her sister just 2 days after we lost our cousin Judy (when I lost my job) and her mom died shortly after that. Her other sister just committed suicide and her nephew was the one to find her. She had hung herself.
Now I am concerned about my friend and her nephew. I am worried that this all might be too much for them. She says that she would never do that. But I still worry. She is like a sister to me and an Aunt to my son.
So, we have been trying to be supportive to help her to get through these tough times.
With all of this that has been going on I hope that you can all understand why I haven’t been blogging as much as I had planned on.
We have several blogs as you can see on our
mepage for Oaks Blogs and right now we are behind on adding new posts because of all that has been going on. We hope everyone will be understanding about it now that you know the reasons why.
So this summer has been a busy and stressful one but recently I saw a tv commercial for the Biggest Loser and since then I have been feeling the effects of having to wait so long to see BL.
So, I decided to do some looking and see what new news I could find about the Biggest Loser and guess what I found?
Yep, you guessed it- a brand new Biggest Loser game.
Seeing how things have been going around here I really was happy to find something that not only will entertain me and get my mind off of all of the sad things but also includes my favorite tv show ‘The Biggest Loser’
The only drawback is the fact that I could see myself becoming addicted to this new Biggest Loser game. When I play and do great I want to try to do better. And when I don’t get a good score then I want to play again so that I can try to get a better score.
I really like this new game. You use your knowledge about which foods are healthy and which foods are unhealthy- but don’t worry- it’s not rocket science ;0)lol
Got you interested? Want to try your hand at it and see how well you do?
You too can play the new Biggest Loser Game.

OMG! I just saw the preview for Biggest Loser season 8 and it is going to be GREAT!!!
Remember Dan? The biggest person to ever be on Biggest Loser?
He is coming BACK! :0)
Dan is getting a second chance to be on the Biggest Loser and he has lost 142 pounds so he should have a great chance of seeing this through to the Biggest Loser finale for season 8
I am so glad that they are giving Dan a second chance. He was one of our favorites and he needed to be there so bad. He did good on his own but this is an unbelievable opportunity for the damage that his friend David did by getting them sent home
BTW, there is also going to be a young woman that had her 2 children and her husband die in a car accident. Hers is a very moving story.
I cannot wait to learn more about her and the other Biggest Loser contestants.
Oh, did I forget to mention that Biggest Loser will start their new season on September 15th?
Just over a month to go……
I CAN’T WAIT!!! :0))

Muscle building is very important for you to lose weight and be healthy but don’t forget to be sure that you have strong bones too. Strong bones are very important,
Most people think that to have strong bones that you must drink a lot of milk. Milk is good for you and it has a lot of calcium which is important but it is not the only important item needed for your body to have good, strong bones.
Below is as list of other foods that you should try to eat often to build your bone density.
Bone buiding foods:
Broccoli
Dark green leafy vegetables
seeds- pumpkin seeds are the best
Canned salmon-eat the bones
beans
eggs
pineapple
calcuim fortified juice & cereals

My research has come across an article describing a new weight loss pill, with a planned release date for next year.
Some people are describing this new weight loss drug as a ‘miracle’ stating that it helps people to lose anywhere from 10% and more of their body weight.
It is also supposed to help people to raise good cholesterol, help prevent heart disease, help people to stop smoking without weight gain and more.
But, my Mom always said “If it seems to be too good to be true then it usually is”.
So what, if any, is the downside to this new weight loss pill?
Well, it has been describe to increase nausea, it also could increase the risk of neuropsychiatric disorders, irritability, depression & anxiety.
This new weight loss drug works by blocking endocannabinoid receptors in the brain.
There are a lot of experts that think that it is not a good idea to block the pleasure center in the brain without producing any bad side effects.
Then there is another new weight loss drug that produced a 25% body weight loss in 1 week in trials on mice but there is no guarantee that humans will get those same weight loss results if (or when) it would go into human clinical trials.
And, if it does, what side effects might it have?
Sure there are weight loss products that have helped some people and that many claim could help you but what are the side effects? Will you be able to keep the weight off after you lose it? Will you gain it right back and maybe even gain more weight than what weight you had lost?
What other side effects might you experience? Will they discover, down the road, that there were more serious side effects than they even realized?
Quit hopping on the weight loss band wagon. Quit trying every new weight loss diet, pill or potion that comes out on the market.
The only sure way and safe way to lose weight and to be able to keep it off is to change the way that you feel about food.
Once you do that you can not only lose the control that food has over you but gain control over the food you eat.
If you have been reading My Biggest Loser Blog for a while then you probably already know about how I lost a lot of weight by using a subliminal software program that retrained my brain to think differently about food.
Since I quit getting on the scales years ago because I didn’t like what the scales said I have no idea what weight I finally did get up to.
A trip to the doctors office a few years ago showed me at something like 250 pounds. I believe I gained more after that.
I kept buying larger and larger clothes and I quit looking in the mirror. I only looked in the mirror enough to brush my hair. I also quit having pictures taken of me as I hated looking at them.
You see your mind can play tricks on you. You can look in the mirror and still see yourself as thinner like you remember or like you WANT to see yourself.
But, when someone takes a picture? Well, the camera doesn’t lie.
For many of you who are overweight you probably have had one of those “OMG!” moments yourself. You know what I mean. Someone shows you a picture of yourself and you are like….
Oh My GAWWWDDDDD- That CAN’T be ME!?
But deep down you know that it is.
If you have had your own OMG moment and you truly want to lose weight but haven’t been able to- please quit harming your body with weight loss pills and drugs that aren’t really help you and that could be actually causing unseen damage that might not show up for months or years to come.
I have showed you pictures of myself. Both Before and After. Right now you can go to the links to the right of the page and you can purchase this same subliminal weight loss software that I used to lose enough weight that I went from wearing a XXXL shirt to being able to wear my son’s size Medium shirts. My pants that I wore before I lost the weight swim on me. Some of them are so loose that even my hips barely keep them on.
You can get that same subliminal weight loss software for under $20 right now. That is not an ongoing subscription that is a one time fee and you can use the software any time you want to or need to for the rest of your life.
You will literally change the way that you feel about food so that you no longer have to worry about food holding you prisoner.
You know what I mean. You feel like you can’t even take a bite of your favorite foods or you won’t be able to stop eating them?
Maybe you are so bad you feel that if you just L@@K at them then you will gain weight. I did. But no more. I know that I can eat anything that I want because I can stop any time I want to. I can eat a brownie and stop at just one instead of eating a whole pan.
I can eat just 1 ice cream sandwich- unless of course the freezer breaks down and we must eat the whole box so that they won’t melt ;0)LOL
Hey, some excuse is better than none:0)
Seriously though, I did eat a lot of the ice cream sandwiches but I went right back to eating healthy and eating just until I was full and have not had any more set backs on keeping the weight off.
If anything I think that I have lost even more since then.
Yes, I also used a natural supplement to help boost my weight loss at first and you can too. You will also find a link to where you can get acai at a low price. You don’t have to use it but it is there if you want to kick start your weight loss for faster results.
But the most important thing is to change the way that you feel about food and you can do that for less than $20 right now and it will never cost you another penny EVER!
I keep telling you about his because it WORKS! It helped me to lose a lot of weight. Yeh, I can’t tell you exact numbers but I have showed you pictures.
I really want to help you. If I had known that I could change my life and lose weight for less than $20 I guarantee you I would have jumped at the opportunity in a heartbeat.
The first 25 people that buy the subliminal weight loss software and send me your receipt can get a 2nd subliminal software FREE for a limited time.
Yes, I want to help you to lose weight so much that I am willing to give you the opportunity to lose weight for what amounts to $10.
2 software for under $20 equals out to less than $10 each.

Well, we knew it was bound to happen. Actually I am surprised that it hasn’t happened long before this.
Or has it?
I don’t think so, none of my research has shown that anyone from all of the Biggest Loser contestants have done it before this.
Done what- you may wonder?
Well, remember Ali Vincent the first ever female winner of the Biggest Loser?
Ali lost 112 pounds and has been able to keep it off since she won season 5 of the Biggest Loser tv show.
Ali Vincent is writing a book called ” Believe It, Be ItL How Being the Biggest Loser Won Me Back My Life”
In her new book, which is due out November 10th, Ali talks about has managed to keep off the 112 pounds that she lost.
Even though her book isn’t due out until Nov you can go ahead and pre-order it right now so that as soon as Ali’s new book is out you will get one of the first copies

Remember Marty Wolff and Amy from the Biggest Loser season 3 in 2007
They got married in March 2008 and have just welcomed their first child.
Amy delivered a baby boy at Alegant Lakeside Hospital in Omaha, Nebraska, on the Fourth of July.
Their son, Blaine Patrick Wolff, weighed in at 10 lbs. 14 oz., and was 22 1/2 inches long.
Mom, Amy, says “We are all doing great and are enjoying getting to know each other.”
We would like to to say Congratulations on their new arrival and wish them well.

I 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.
