Biggest Loser Season 13 week 3
Friday, January 20th, 2012Ok, so Joe wanted to go home. I understand that they miss their families. At least Jeremy has his head on straight and tried to talk him out of it
Did you know that there are 41,000 chinese restaraunts in the Us? That’s more than McDonald’s, Wendys and Burger King combined? WOW! I had no clue.
Ok, so here we go with a temptation.
Everything looked so good. I can’t imagine being in the room seeing and smelling that food.
Do you feel that an obese person is like an alcoholic? Do you think that they can never eat high calorie foods again or will fall right back into that whole way of eating? Do you think that they only need worry while losing the weight and then should be able to cheat on occasion without too much concern? Or do you think it was ok to eat to win the temptation?
I was surprised that no one on the red team seemed to be tempted
Good thinking on the black team’s part. A 30 calorie fortune cookie wouldn’t do a lot of damage and yet would have a chance of giving them control over the face-off and the 2 pound advantage
Cassandra seemed really happy about winning and she sure didn’t waste any time in picking out who would face off against whom.
Black (weight loss- %) lbs lost vs Red =who won & their weight loss
Emily ( 14lbs-5.30 %) and Roy (19 lbs-6.21%)
Jeremy ( lbs-5.14 %) and Lauren ( lbs-5.28 %)
Joe ( lbs- 6.44 %) and Nancy ( lbs-4.61 %)= Nancy with just 2 lbs
Chism ( lbs-5.54 %) and Kim ( 16 lbs-6.35 %)
Mark ( 17 lbs-5.84 %) and Chris ( lbs- 5.83 %)
Megan ( lbs-4.25 %) and Buddy ( 31 lbs-7.69 %)
Gayle ( lbs-4.35 %) and Kimmy ( lbs- 5.94 %)
Cassandra ( lbs- %)
What do you think of Joe leaving like that? He did leave his team in the lurch and make it that much harder for his team to win the weigh-in.
Yes, he misses his family but is his going home now going to cost them extra years that they might have had?
And when you think about how much the aqua team wants to be there and we have had 2 people leave voluntarily already in week 3?
That’s crazy!
How funny: Bob saying “I knew I’d get that old woman to cuss”
Well, that’s all I have time for today. I wasn’t sure that I would even post what with my Uncle dying but I decided to at least post some. I will try to finish it on Saturday so that we will be all caught up for next week’s Biggest Loser-K?
In the meantime here is something gross.
Take a look:
Click the pic for more info but basically this is processed chicken which is the entire chicken- including the eyeballs which is used in nuggets and processed chicken patties, etc. I am so sick to my stomach over this- EEEEWWWW! YUCK!
Now, from my research it DOES say that they have been doing this sinch the late 1960’s which means that we have probably all ate it and didn’t even know it.
It can be found in things like chicken nuggest, processed chicken patties, hot dogs, bologna, salami, etc.
I also know that we probably all know in that eating these things isn’t healthy anyway but when you are on a low income sometimes they are about the only meat you can afford to eat.
My son and I had just eaten hot dogs days before I read this article and saw this pic. Last night we had hot dogs again- because they are cheap. BUT, I couldn’t eat the same brand I ate the last time we had hot dogs- even though they were on sale for $1 for a package. We ended up getting some that were a manager’s discount for $2 because they were beef. Beef is not processed in this way in the US due to mad cow disease.
I do not know how each individual country processes their meat so if this interests you (or disgusts you) you may want to look into that. I know that we have visitors from all over the world (thank you so much for that 
we REALLY appreciate it!) and I would LOVE to be able to tell you all how the meat is processed in YOUR country. BUT, with my Uncle dying and time constraints I just cannot do so at this time.
I AM however trying to find time (hopefully this week yet) to see about getting a petition going to change this process. I do not see why they cannot remove the heads and the internals before processing the meat this way so that we are not getting the disgusting parts in there that some of us (Me included) cannot stomach the idea of eating- even if we already HAVE and just didn’t know it.
I know it may sound silly to some of you that I cannot eat the exact same thing that I ate just a week or two ago but the idea that there are ground up eyeballs and guts (including the bowel) in that meat is just something I can’t stomach.
I am hoping that many of you would be willing to sign a petition to get this policy changed.
I think that having people to clean the chickens before processing would save not having to use unneccessary chemicals that could be causing health issues for many of us and must be costing them money. Use that money to pay people to clean the chickens= healthier meat and more jobs.
They can always use the parts removed for animal feed like they have done for years. The animals won’t know the difference and they eat these parts when they hunt anyway. Also, the price of cat and dog food has risen dramatically in recent years. I wonder how much of this is because of people insisting that the anials get ‘choice’ cuts of meat. My belief is that this has caused the price of not only dog and cat food to rise but our food as well. Only so many animals can be grown in a given year and yet it needs to feed us all. And why shoud WE as humans be forced to eat these parts, if we don’t want to, simply because we cannot afford anything better?
I know that some of you will disagree with me. That’s ok. You can still come here and enjoy My Biggest Loser Blog. As you can see from past posts I very rarely rant about anything other than the Biggest Loser on here. So if you don’t agree about my views on the meat processin you can skip over it and get to what you really want to read. I most likely will only post if and when I get the petition done and a possible update here and there.
As for Biggest Loser? I cannot wait for tonight’s show. It comes on in just over an hour so I am heading home so I will not miss even a teensy weensy second of it like we did a couple of weeks ago due to there being a bad storm. We missed 20 minutes of it-UGH!!! The HORROR!
I am finally recovering though due to the fact that I was finally able to see what we had missed -ahhhhh! The relief! :-))
Enjoy Biggest Loser tonight and I will be talking with you soon.
Hug your loved ones as you never know just how much time you have left with them
Biggest Loser Spoiler March 2010
Thursday, March 18th, 2010If you don’t want to know any spoilers then don’t read this.
Someone has discovered that if you are very careful in listening in the first hour of the show that you can find clues as to who will be going home that week. For the last 2 weeks they have found mentions in the first hour which later were revealed to be clues as to who actually went home that night.
You might want to try to see if this worksd again this week. I will be keeping my ears open for any such clues
Also, during the Biggest Loser tv show, airing in two weeks on March 30th, we will find that the Teams are DISOLVED and the Eliminated players will be returning to try to win a spot back on the Ranch. I don’t know about you but I think that this should be very interesting, indeed!
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-Maria Goes Home
Wednesday, January 20th, 2010Tonight on Biggest Loser I was surprised at how many people did not want to try to win the temptation. Since Michael and Sherry were tied I was a bit shocked that Michael came that close and then gave the game up. Since the candies were only 5 calories each and all he would have needed to eat was few more it was a bit surprising.
Okay, so pink team got the power to control the game. They got to choose who would be the teacher and who would be the student. It didn’t seem like they were real careful in their choosing as they seemed to stack the deck against themselves
The challenge was a bit weird but it was nice to see a challenge that wasn’t putting the thinner people in a position of power. It seems that so many of the challenges are physical to the point that those who are the most overweight are the ones that end up losing. Thus, those who need to be there the most often get the short end of the stick and then they usually end up going home soon because of it
I think that Michael had the right plan but boy did it backfire when it turned out that his mother would have to undo all of the ribbon that he had twisted and knotted up and had to do so blindfolded to boot.
It may have backfired against them but I was happy that it did put a wrench in the plans of the red team.
Melissa throwing the weigh in last week irked me but her comment tonight about Michael being 500 pounds was mean. After all, she is overweight too so who is she to be throwing stones?
Speaking of throwing stones? It seems that stones weren’t the only thing that Melissa was throwing. She threw the weigh in this week too. Then she gets mad at Bob and Jillian when they called her on it. Excuse me, does she think that we are all a bunch of IDIOTS here???
We all can see what she is up to and she gets mad because she got called on it?
She is so busy playing the game it makes me sick. There are so many people that want and need to be there to lose weight and here she gets this wonderful opportunity and she is wasting it because of game play?
It seems that her husband is doing what he needs to do to lose the weight but in my opinion, his wife is putting a target on their back by her game play.
Josh feels that way too. Josh and I are in total agreement about wishing that Melissa would go home
Does anyone else feel that way?
I know that Biggest Loser is a reality show, it is a game, BUT, when people are so focused on game play it seems that it is a slap in the face. They were chosen to go on Biggest Loser so that they could lose weight and get healthy but all they care about is the money and they are so obvious about but the think that they are fooling us?
That is the surest way to get me to dislike a player..
So the gray team got immunity and they got to choose a team to switch teacher/student status which then sent the opposite person, in this case Michael, onto the scale with HIS weight being the deciding factor. I understand that they feel that he isn’t working as hard as everyone else but , as someone that roots for the underdog, I would like to play devil’s advocate and remind people that when Bob put on the 330 pounds it was very difficult for him. Michael being the heaviest player, some contestants might not be aware of just how much weight he is carrying around and how hard it is. Remember Ron struggling because of his weight and his health? I am hoping that Michael getting some of this weight off will make it less of a struggle and then maybe he can do more. I would hate to think that someone who so obviously needs the help would waste it by not putting in the effort. I am glad that he is being given the opportunity to prove himself.
As hard as it is for Michael to have his mother go home I am wondering if it might be a blessing in disguise. Michael has been so concerned about his mother that maybe being at the ranch on his own he will be able to concentrate and do what he needs to do for him to lose the weight and get healthy.
Ok, so did you see the preview for next week?
OMG! I cannot wait to see it. Now I know that Biggest Loser likes to fool you by showing things in the preview that makes you think one thing when it might be another totally. So, in looking at the scale it looks like Melissa drops from 212 to 186 which would put her at losing 26 pounds. I find that hard to believe
What do you think?
Who are your favorite contestants? How do you feel about Melissa’s game play?
Right now my favorite teams are Black- they are from Michigan but I would like them even if they weren’t ;0)
I like the white team- Michael needs to lose so much weight or he will only have a few years left.
I like the orange team-Darris has endeared himself to us. He reminds me of Dan from the past 2 seasons and he is even in orange just like Dan :0)
I like most of the other contestants but those are my favorites for right now.
My least favorite contestant? Melissa.
Who would you send home if you had the power to?
I know who I would choose….
Btw, I would like to apologize for not posting like I should and how I want to. Our computer is old and it is EXTREMELY SLOW. It takes me hours to get done what I should be able to do in 30-60 minutes. I wanted to get a new tower- newer and more powerful- but our property taxes were more than I thought that they would be and we still need to come up with over $200 or our place will go up for foreclosure the 1st of March. It seems that life has been handing us a bunch of lemons but we are trying to make lemon-aid.

Biggest Loser season 9 starts tonight! YESSSSS!
Okay, so I have been a bit busy and. believe it or not, I haven’t seen any of the Biggest Loser commercials. So, I had no idea who all is going to be on season 9. So, I decided to go searching through the land of Biggest loser and see what I could find out.

Biggest Loser-Week before Finale
Tuesday, December 1st, 2009Did you miss Biggest Loser? Don’t have a lot of time so you would be happy with the highlights of the show? Here is a 2 minute video recap of what happened
Dan and Shay Go home
Tuesday, November 10th, 2009OMG! From the highest of highs last week to the lowest of lows this week.
Red line? Why the heck do we have to have a red line this week? It is hard enough to have one person go home each week but to have to send home two?
All through the Biggest Loser tonight, knowing that 2 people would be gong home, was awful. Worrying about who would go home. Hoping that at least one, if not both, would not be our favorites. Only to find that of all the people that could go home that it would be that they were our 2 favorites
Our Two FAVORITES! UGH!!!
I know that some people will argue that Dan has been on the show more than anyone else but Dan won over our heart last season and we were so surprised and elated that he was brought back to be able to finish what he started.
Dan went home way too early last season and, although he did well at home, he never got the opportunity to deal with what got him to the size that he was when he first came on the Biggest Loser ranch. When he came back this season we already loved him and we were hoping that he would end up being one the finalists this season.
Though Dan managed to stay on the ranch a lot longer this season we found out tonight that our hopes of him being one of the finalists was not to be. With his falling below the red line Dan had no second chance, no pleading his case…..he just went home.
I was upset about Dan going home but also worried about who was going to end up being below the yellow line. We already had lost one of our favorites.. would we lose another one too?
We were hoping and praying that the worst would not happen.
But it DID!
Shay, from the moment you stepped off of that bus and on to the Biggest Loser ranch you won over America’s heart.
Watching you work so hard to attain your goals despite what all life has thrown at you was amazing.
Every time you worked out- we were rooting for you
Every time you tried to win a challenge- we were rooting for you
Every time you stepped up on the scales- we were rooting for you
Life may have handed you some lemons but you turned your life around and you made some major lemonade :0)lol
As sad as it was to see you go we were absolutely FLOORED when we saw you on Jay Leno and we saw hoe much weight you have lost.
WOW!!!
You have far surpassed what many would have thought you would do considering your size when you left the Biggest Loser ranch. You may not have been on there as long as you would have liked (or as long as we all had hoped for) but you obviously were on there long enough to learn what you needed to learn.
We saw the recent pic of you with Jillian and I have to say that as much weight as Dan has lost that he, and all of the other contestants that have gone home, better watch out cuz I think you have a VERY good chance of winning the home prize of $100,000.
Shay and Dan, you have done such an amazing job. You have lost the weight. You look AMAZING! You have changed your lives.
Reach for the stars and never look back!
