Come to think of it, Zil, the trainers were never in the weigh-in since I started watching this show a few months back. The trainers would get the news later! Yes, I was surprised at the pounds they lost, and one even gained a pound! I LOVE that show!

My favourites are Bette Sue and her daugher, or the Mother and Son, can't remember their names! The preview showed some undercurrents for next week; so far they all have gotten along...

I wonder what they did with all that uneaten, delicious food; would be a crying shame to throw it out! My friend said "probably the camera crew ate it up!"

lol.. I bet the camera crew did eat it!

Myself, I kinda like watching the show for Jillian...

She's hardcore and totally hot. hehe

Jillian, she takes no crap and sure is able to dish it out to people that don't cut it! I LOVE her no-nonsense attitude, and I also LOVE Bob for his gentleness and getting it done!

Next, they'll probably have the camera crew on in front of the camera trying to lose weight! Wouldn't THAT be hysterical?

There seemed to be TONS of food there! I think that was cruel, in a way, but to the point! I wonder if I could have resisted the chicken? It looked SO good! The desserts looked good, too! I better stop this at once!

I am not surprised at all that Neill and Amanda got voted off! I felt SO sorry for Amanda, she worked SO hard! I felt so bad for her when they received the last vote, and I believe it was Alison Sweeney who asked Neill if he had anything to say, and he said 'that Amanda was better for turning on the tears'! I think that was what did him in! She was crying for real!

Yet I think she is an amazing wife! She totally never said anything against him to anyone! She is such a sweetheart!

Jackie got voted off and I think it was sort of a comeuppance for her!

Where is Zil; I miss posting here with him!

He got a job and said he would be posting soon. He apparently has been busy.

Zil, glad you're back so we can continue to talk about this show!

I was highly emotional when Mark said his team could vote him out, and all the emotional stuff his team said at the table! I felt so sorry for Jay when it was his turn to vote for his own brother!

Any ideas who will end up "The Biggest Loser"?

I got kind of emotional during all that, too.. probably because of them being brothers and talking about being each other's best friend. I've always wished I had a brother... I do have a very good friend that I've known since 9th grade and we both consider each other like brothers in a lot of ways.

I'm just glad he stuck to his word, even if he had to be reminded of it.

I like most of the people who are and have been on the show, but I'm totally pulling for the black team. Being the underdogs and all and.. well, Jillian. heheh

The one kid on the blue team with the shoulder-length blonde hair... he's a good guy but wow, I wish he'd realize how awful his hair looks and cut it all off. lol I mean, some guys look pretty good with long hair but he just doesn't pull it off at all. haha

Luba · 03-03-2008, 09:03 PM

I'm for the Black Team, too, and that Jillian is really something, I agree! No goofing around or playing dead around her, she just makes one work and work!

So, while having my weight checked at the doctor's office today I joked that each week I watch this show and think more and more that I should send in an application video to be on the show.

The little nurse lady said it wasn't that bad and made light of my weight. (Ha-ha)

The doctor later commented about muscle-mass and the way some people can carry their weight differently and all that.

I don't care. 282 lbs spells Biggest Loser Applicant to me...

I guess I'll just post this here:

Tomorrow is my birthday. (March 5th)

Not really a day I look forward to anymore. lol

Well, I have been thinking about this for quite some time now and I have decided to give myself quite possibly the best birthday present I could ever have...

I'm going to be sending in an application and a video entry to The Biggest Loser.

Some might roll their eyes and think ...well, think whatever they/you want. I didn't even watch the show until a few months ago because I had grown so fed up with all the so-called "reality shows" on television. I'd much rather watch a funny sitcom myself than 99% of those shows.

But this show is different. Even if you don't "win" - you don't lose, either. People go on this show to try and win $250,000 - sure, but they primarily go on it for the chance to change their lives by losing excess weight that they have been carrying around for years, and sometimes... all their life.

That's where I fit in. I can't remember being small, skinny, whatever. I've seen pictures of myself when I was a child, but I don't remember much of back then. The majority of my memories are filled with being picked on in every school I ever went to for being the fat kid in class. And to make it worse, I went to a lot of different schools growing up so instead of just being the new kid, I was always the new *fat* kid.

Don't get me wrong, I have had the absolute best parents in my life and they always have done their best to show me how much they love me and I'm sure every decision they made to move to new ares was always a difficult one for them, but I believe they always did everything while keeping in mind what was best for our entirely family. I say that because I don't want it to come across as if I hold any ill-will towards my parents for having to move around as much as we did, because I don't. But, having said that, always being the new *fat* kid at all the schools I went to growing up... well, it wasn't easy.

So, I want to make one of the biggest changes of my life. I want the chance to go on this show and discover the *ME* underneath all the excess weight I've always remembered carrying around my entire life.

People who know me in person know where I'm coming from. I mean, I am a pretty big guy.. always have been. You guys here know me solely from online and might be thinking I'm going a bit overboard.

Well, there's a reason the majority of my pictures I post online are headshots - I have nothing to show off and I've always been ashamed of this body I'm in.

As of posting this, I am only ten pounds away from the heaviest point I've ever been in my life - and that was 290 lbs. So, yep.. right know I weigh 280 lbs and I'd love a chance to go on this show and completely change my life. The money isn't the driving force, but it's the fact that I'm fed up and I really want to make this change happen. The hardest part is to know how to go about it -- I need a teacher. I need a trainer. I need the experience this show provides to jump-start everything because I really don't know how I could make this happen in my life otherwise.

So, wish me luck. Pray for me. Send good thoughts/vibes my way. Whatever you wanna do, I need the support.

Heck, write NBC a letter. Haha!

Happy Birthday to ME. <3
