I have one, too...

I started watching The Biggest Loser last season when there was nothing on TV Tuesday nights. I was inspired by the alleged “transformations” of the “contestants.” Now I’m somewhat fluffy myself and after watching several episodes while chowing down on my favorite snack foods, the propaganda started working on me. I thought, “I could do that. They’re so inspiring! If she could lose that much weight, I could totally shed the pounds I have to lose and tone up like a swimsuit model.”So I bought a Biggest Loser Jillian Michaels Fitness Video. After doing the workout one time, I’ve figured out their master plot. It’s true that the producers want to decrease the number of overweight Americans. They plan to accomplish this by convincing us to try the diet and exercise routine. However, the entire Biggest Loser franchise, Jillian Michaels specifically, is not working to help overweight Americans but rather attempting to kill off the fat people. Effectually, they’ll pick us off one by one like puffer fish in a barrel when we can no longer raise our arms or effectively move our legs. It seems fairly obvious to me at this point that the so called “contestants” are really just smoking hot athlete/models in remarkable stage makeup for a show that is to weight loss what the WWF is to real wrestling. No real pinchable overweight person can live through these workouts.

I agree. I am 50-something and have added a few pounds.And the only thing I can say is that I feel like after 3 kids and a love for sweets and potatoes, that maybe, just maybe, I am entitled to a few extra lbs. The only problem is that I have been skinny most of my life and I have no clothes that fit.After my last back surgery, I have added lbs. But I heard from someone, my sister Lanice, that just means I am healthy and happy. So...
even tho I am diabetic type 2, here's to a few extra lbs!!!!!!!!

I am so laughing. I watch that show and think how the heck does that happen. I'm glad to know you figured it out. It does inspire me to work out but then a commercial comes on and I forget all about that. That was a funny post keep them coming.
