In fact, two episodes of that last season never even aired. Meanwhile, its spin-off, Extreme Makeover: Home Edition , was a far bigger hit, lasting twice as long and airing nearly four times as many episodes. After all, judging homes by their looks is a lot different than judging humans!
More in Style. Instead of maintaining my loss, the weight went back on. This time I have lost 4 lbs. Keeping it off by eating a diet of about to calories will be their biggest challenge. Most people gain back, as they succumb to the addiction of sugar and carbs which are so prevalent in our society today. Spot on Gloria. I am currently watching the reruns of the show. But I still found it somewhat motivational.
I think that learning to change your lifestyle should include coping skills as well as learning the reason why someone has relied on food to cope. Losing the weight was far from easy but keeping it off is far more difficult. I, myself have been on that weight loss rollercoaster, and still ride it sometimes. I think that the show could really be helpful with some revamping. I watched this show because I did want to see the results.. I know that losing lbs in a year is possible but losing it in 3 months is dangerous and unrealistic…I wonder if the contestants signed a waiver to prevent them from suing in the case of medical issues that result from such extreme methods….
I hope they help him with his medical bills but this should serve as a lesson that TV only cares about ratings…bottom line! It is demeaning. Why not just tight suits. No one should have to do that. I like seeing the transformation. It is amazing how different they look. I hope so.
It is hard and very sad that people suffer so much. The guy above extreme show was inspirational. Not because of the weight loss he had but because of how determined he was to complete very difficult tasks.
We were able to see that he missed some life dreams. I really enjoyed the show. To judge for yourself look up the show and watch on Hulu. There are three sides to every story…. Nothing about these weight loss entertainment shows surprises me.
It is after all entertainment. I feel sorry for this guy, I hope he gets the help he needs. At the end of the day he has to dig deep for his own truths and motivations.
These ridiculous reality shows are making celebrities out of folks and I suspect that is the more motivating factor for a lot of folks…. When we walk and diet in truth we accomplish our goals. There are no quick fixes, magic potions, pills or wands. There is only you and your body and your determination. I do get inspiration from this show, not because the huge numbers they lose, but simply because if they can do I can to. I am totally against the diet pills and dehydrating yourself.
Most importantly we as the viewers have to use our common sense. I pick and choose what I take from these shows. We all know the difference between right and wrong. Inspiration is only worthwhile to me if I feel like I can at least strive to do as the inspirational person is doing.
I spend most of my time thinking about how unhealthy and unrealistic their practices are — the extreme caloric restriction, taking sedentary people and training them like professional athletes. I agree i started my weight loss journey in sept list 34 pounds have 25u more. I hired a professional dietican and worked with a personal trainer 2contacted days a week and 5 hours of various classes. I went slow built up my strength and indurrance. I was appalled at these people who weight and plus pounds literally killing themselves.
It seems dangerous and people get discouraged when they feel sore and exhausted. Does not promote long time health. I kept up the protein, cadio, and toning exercises, and I can now wear a bikini. Its also major surgery that leaves scars and takes a long time to heal. I know the show pays for the surgery, but it would be far healthier to lose the pounds more slowly to avoid this major, sometimes dangerous, procedure.
I have never liked these shows or found them particularity inspiring. To me they always had a sort of circus freak aspect to them. I also always had a sneaking feeling that the weight lost on these shows was not done in the healthiest of ways.
I only liked Biggest loser for first couple of seasons; after that it got out of control all the yelling at contestants; and people obese and having work outs like the did; I never understood how somone so obese could work out like that; a local contestant from my area let some some thoughts a few years ago; she said they exericised sometimes upto 6 hours a day; once you get away from the show no way you can continue like that; hope things work out for this man.
Yes, I think It was entertaining, and started out motivating, but then I thought there was to much, pushing, you have people all over lbs I think, being pushed to do extreme exercise, I think the first thing to happen should have been baby steps, life style change with eating and cooking, walking slow walking, and easy exercise and later build up,,,,,,,,,,,,, I did not like the part where the one person would jump on their backs, I think it was sad that people who want to loose weigh and or desperate were subjected to this.
I only watch previous seasons of BL. They focus too much on the weight and not the whole picture. I stopped watching these shows long ago. So, in the short period of taping, people actually lost what any of us would lose in real life, which is not that dramatic. Clearly, the show was about staying on and getting the money, because if these people were that concerned about their health they would have voluntarily left or allowed themselves to be dismissed.
The obese person would have medical bills anyway because you cannot survive healthy with that much fat on your body. The good thing about these shows is continually emphasizing exercise and the illuminating the amount of sugar one consumes, for example in sodas. We need to keep educating America and hope some child chooses to eat less or some parent realizes what they are feeding their child affects them in the long term.
This is the first generation where the life expectancy is less than their parents because of the rising obesity. They have 8 contestants a year. If he lived 3 months with each, that is 24 months in 1 year. Not possible. Shame on these shows for once again exploiting the participants and its viewers. I even saw an episode recently where the trainer, Chris, moves a participant into his house for a few months because he feels she needs extra motivation.
I thought that was a really weird move. That said, I still watch the show and find it motivating. You called it! I saw that coming last season as well. Nevertheless…I still like the show, although this article has certainly demystified it for me. I am shocked with what has happened to the former contestant and I pray he gets his medical bills paid.
I am a mother of 2 small children and I have lost weight thru the years but now I am walking more now and eating healthier and I do like the show as well. The stories those men and women have experienced is everyday life and how they loose the weight and keep it off is motivating to me. I think the pain of surgery would be worth it. I also doubt that I would want the whole entire world watching me going through something very painful as that surgery.
I have lost and gained weight I am very determined to take this weight down for the last time. It is hard but worth it. I think the shows are great inspirations. Many medically supervised weight loss programs put people that big on calorie diets. I know many normal weight people who maintain by taking diet pills for the caffeine energy kick to workout, and they take them all the time. I can also tell you that watching a pound girl run a marathon in 7 and a half hours has really upped my intensity in my workouts.
She was massive at the season end, and she was the weakest and slowest contestant, and yet she could do that. If people like that can, then I sure as heck had better be able to do it too. Not even going to address the rest of the post, but the ignorance astounds me.
And this is coming from someone who has always been slim. The calorie part is, unfortunately, relatively accurate. That says nothing of whether or not it is wise, sane, sustainable or even sensible. No way. Losing lbs is possible and you can do it in a healthy way but not in a year. I hate the blatant product placement as well.
No argument with anything you wrote here with one exception: that recommended caloric intake of 2, a day is an average for both men and women of all body builds. I, for instance, would GAIN weight on 2, calories a day since even at lbs with a healthy BMI, just tall my body only needs about calories to break even, before hitting the gym. Smaller women need less, and people who are completely sedentary even further less.
Professional athletes of course need to take in a lot more… so it really does vary. Also- I was previously inspired by this show so I am sad to hear these are their practices.
Like finding out a star athlete who overcame cancer was using performance enhancing drugs. I addressed that here. Well I know most reality shows r rigged but now I have 2 add weightloss shows 2 thelist? There r ppl watching EM thinking they need this entorage 2 make it happen and I hate that. I cannot even watch BL anymore. The way they talk to those people, like if you are overweight you are subhuman and deserve to be humiliated.
I did not see any of this on EM so I liked it. Most importantly — what are your thoughts Larhonda? This is your page and you posted about James article.
You lived and succeeded on the plan of extreme makeover — is there any substance to what James is saying? Maybe your weight before masked health issues and when you lost te weight the issues became apparent. Slow and steady be mindful of what u eat. Always makes u successful.
Exercise at a moderate pace. Thats my advice to healthy weightloss. Its not magic or extreme. And, on top of the show he is likely doing other things with his life. So it made no sense. I do not understand why Chris Powell keeps lying that he is living with them for 3 months. He has a wife with 3 kids, one more on the way, and there are 7 people a season, so that is almost 2 years of never being home.
Which is impossible to do. I find that shameful that he plays that lie out. This is really upsetting. I was always so inspired by Chris Powell, and commended him for the way he has changed peoples lives, and now I come to find out it was all a scam! But it does make sense, this is a show and they need good ratings to keep the show going. All of the inspiration I received from this show to eat healthy and exercise just kind of goes down the drain when you find out they took diet pills and did detoxes, but regardless I do think that the show has potentially saved some peoples lives, because the contestants were extremely overweight and they did lose the weight, which in the long run can help them avoid future health problems.
I watched six episodes of Extreme Weight Loss. It made me think. Is it the cost of healthy foods? Is it that people are so stressed out from work and home life? Is it from the changes in the way our food is grown, raised, produced? What is going on out there? People are so desperate to lose weight and are turning to surgical procedures at the drop of a hat.
One person even died from complications. One has a feeding tube coming out of her abdomen from complications. Heaven forbid if something happens to their surgeon because what doctor would want to take on their case? It seems to me that these surgeries help people lose weight but they become so fragile and brittle.
Their bodies are not getting the proper nutrients. The nutrients are not being absorbed. Some people are taking the required 15 supplements or more per day that they have to take but some are not and you can tell by their general appearance. I guess there is a surgery that can be reversed but you still have the scar tissue from surgery and the expense and long term risk from the surgery. Everyone gains weight for a reason. The best way to lose weight is right and keep moving. There are so many resources at your fingertips if you have access to the internet.
Anyway, back yo the show. I was amazed by Chris Powell. His powerful positive attitude. His sensitivity to the contestants personal stories and behavioral issues. I cried. He seemed so dedicated to their cause. I think he should separate from the show and do some kind of program on his own because I do think he can help people. Losing all that weight in one year not realistic which is what that show requires.
It takes a long time to put on weight and it should take equally as long to take it off. There are 2 people like that in my family and they live very productive, happy lives. They are certainly not worthless or grotesque. I lost 60 lbs went from a 16 to a 4 and have gained extreme makeover weight loss edition rachel online lb back. Low Carb Day!
