Biggest Loser Season 13 week 3

Friday, January 20th, 2012

Ok, 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- Sherry Goes Home

Tuesday, March 16th, 2010

We 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)

Dan and Shay Go home

Tuesday, November 10th, 2009
OMG! 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!

Biggest Loser last week and tonight

Wednesday, October 21st, 2009

Hi 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, 2009

Boy 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 Season 8

Wednesday, September 30th, 2009

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!!!

Biggest Loser Season 8

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

Weight Loss News

Tuesday, July 14th, 2009

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.

Biggest Loser Pigout?

Tuesday, June 30th, 2009

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.

Firm Up & Get Healthy

Monday, June 22nd, 2009

While 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.

4. Rebounding strengthens the skeletal systems.

5. Rebounding helps to circulate more oxygen to your tissues.

6. Rebounding creates better equilibrium between the oxygen required by your tissues and the oxygen that is available.

7. Rebounding improves your digestion and elimination processes.

8. Rebounding helps your blood pressure

9. Rebounding increases your capacity for respiration.

10. Rebounding helps in the rehabilitation of a heart problem.

11. Rebounding increases the functional activity of the red bone marrow in the production of red blood cells.

12. Rebounding improves your resting metabolic rate so that you burn more calories even hours after you finish exercising.

13. Rebounding causes your muscles to work in moving fluids through your body to lighten your heart’s load.

14. Rebounding decreases the volume of blood that you may have pooling in your veins of your cardiovascular system thus preventing chronic edema.

15. Rebounding increases your circulation.

16. Rebounding strengthens your heart & muscles so that they work more efficiently.

17. Rebounding allows your resting heart to beat less often.

18. Rebounding lowers circulating cholesterol and your tri-glyceride levels.

19. Rebounding lowers the low-density bad cholesterol in the blood and increases your good cholesterol to help you to avoid coronary artery disease.

20. Rebounding helps your body in tissue repair.

21. Rebounding for more than 20 minutes at a time with a moderate intensity will increase the mitochondria count within the muscle cells, essential for endurance.

22. Rebounding adds to the alkaline reserve of the body, which may be of significance in an emergency requiring prolonged effort.

23. Rebounding allows for better relaxation and sleep which helps you to deal with stress easier.

24. Rebounding helps to improve your balance.

25. Rebounding offers real relief from neck and back pains, headaches, and other pain caused by lack of exercise.

26. Rebounding helps for fatigue & menstrual discomfort for women.

27. Rebounding improves muscle-to-fat ratio.

28. Rebounding results in better mental performance, which could help you and your family with the learning processes.

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)

Later
