Inspiration from TV Shows

Hello CatheNation,
Do you find inspiration to workout harder and to eat healthier from TV? The shows that inspire me are Extreme Makeover Weight Loss and Biggest Loser.
Tony from Extreme Makeover, part of the show was filmed in Grand Rapids MI.
Also love Cathe TV too.

Yes, I love these shows (especially The Biggest Loser). Very inspirational.

My favorite is a series from Slice Network (Canadian) called The last 10lbs and Bulging Brides w/Tommy Europe. He is awesome! Have you seen it Jen? Check it out:
The Last 10 Pounds Bootcamp

I would love that dude as my trainer! He's cute and kicks butt :eek:

Hi Ladies. I watch all of those shows. If it has to do with weightloss or exercise I watch it. I love Chris Powell from Extreme makevoer. The Biggest Loser isn't as good as it was in the beginning. They seem to be more about personal problems as opposed to exercise. The Last 10 pounds and Bulging brides used to come on here but not anymore. Tommy was a tough trainer. I loved the ladies in their wedding gowns before they lost the weight. :( I liked you are what you eat. Those people ate some gross foods. That doesn't come on here anymore either. I find inspiration from all of these shows.

I agree with you Jean. I liked TBL a lot more in the earlier seasons.

Isn't it so funny when they showed the girls in their wedding gowns and the wedding consultant (I think her name is Jean too) would point out that they had "spillage" and "back fat" :D. And then 6 weeks later they looked great in the gowns. If you see how Tommy worked them, no wonder they lost so many inches :eek:

I also liked XWeighted (another Canadian show). It always brought tears to my eyes.

Fun thread Jen!
 
Natasha We had X-weighted here also. I like that man who is the trainer. He is not as tough as the others. I believe he has them do a timed course at the beginning and at the end. He has had a few shows. There are alot of shows taped in Canada. I hear it is cheaper to film there. Did you ever watch "Buff Brides". That is my all time favorite. i have all the episodes taped and watch when I want.
I think that they sewed the gowns to fit the girls properly. So that is why they looked so good. But I miss that show.

I love x-weighted and have seen all the episodes. I did not like the x-weighted families but loved all the rest. I also loved paul. i wish they would make more episodes with singles, or friends - just no kids. it breaks my heart to see the kids struggling on tv.
 
not to be egotistical

My biggest inspiration is myself. The doctors told me that I wouldn't be able to lose more than 30 pounds. I lost 80 and kept off over 60 pounds. My second biggest inspiration is Jillian Michaels because she also has a condition (PCOS) that she works with and still succeeds. The trick is accepting the reality of your body and then working with it not against it.
