Big Fan of "The Biggest Loser"

The seventh season of the weight-loss competition is almost at an end. It has ballooned to 2-hour episodes – a half hour gain from previous seasons. I am not complaining. I’ve been a fan since Season 1 and have become attached to it’s rhythm and a formula which includes the recap of last week, the challenges, the “last chance” workout and even the editing of the weigh-in process where the sound of the beeping scale is interspersed with the faces of the cast and trainers in various states of surprise, shock or triumph which may or may not reflect the true outcome on the scale. The formula works, as does the mission of the show which puts special emphasis on the obesity crisis that is affecting many young Americans today. The transformations are truly stunning but let’s not forget that most overweight Americans will never get the chance to be on “The Biggest Loser” and must simply look to it for inspiration.

Thankfully, I have never had to face such a daunting weight-loss challenge where I had to lose hundreds of pounds, but at one point in my life I lost 40 pounds and thankfully have kept it off for over 10 years. This was the result of a lifestyle change, not a diet, and the incorporation of exercise in my daily life. Commendably, during most weigh-ins on the show, “The Biggest Loser” goes out of it’s way to make the point that losing weight so rapidly is just not feasible in “real life” and stress more realistic and healthy goals for the viewer.

The show also stresses that any positive change is not going to happen unless one takes action. Along with some not-so-subtle product placement, “The Biggest Loser” gives viewers suggestions and motivations to make healthy changes in their lives. I love it!

Speaking of product placement - “The Biggest Loser” contestants have successfully used Bodylastics in their workouts. Bodylastics is an affordable and portable substitute to the home gym system – an ideal solution for home resistance and strength training.
