Biggest Loser starts tonight at 8 :)

I have a beef with the new trainer Kim. She appears to have breast implants. Now I don't have anything against implants in general, but this is a show where your transformation is 100% diet and exercise and NOT plastic surgery! What kind of message does this send to people? That diet and exercise are just the start but you really need to add plastic surgery to look good???!!!

I have a beef with the way they train these people - the same gripe I had last year:

You don't take 400lb. sendentary people and start them off doing jumping jacks! You don't work them until they barf! You don't starve them on 1200 calories a day!

Like I said last year - if I were very overweight, I'd be watching this show and saying, "If this is what it takes to lose weight, I'll stay fat!" Totally the wrong message. Exercise HAS to be enjoyable in order for anyone to stick with it. Cheez!

However, I keep watching the show, I guess because I like to see the transformations.

As for Kim, those jugs may be real for all we know.

HB!

I so agree with you. I told DH last nite that what they do to these severely obese people is "Heart-Attack City" waiting to happen! I can't believe they work them til they throw up. How can that be good? But, that being said, we LOVE the show and it is soo inspiring to see how much weight they lose thru their commitment. So far, I like Kim and also didn't like Jillian's harsh approach. I would much prefer to be on Bob's team! Nicole, I thought the same thing...when he said he was voting off the Drama Queen, I figured it was Heather too. Can't wait to see this year's success stories.
