I too have mixed feelings about the Biggest Loser show. I think the amount of weight they often lose is unrealistic and unsafe. When they only lose 2 lbs (what is considered normal and safe) they are severely disappointed. I love the idea of teamwork, healthy competition, and one of the biggest aspects of the show that is effective is when Jillian or Bob get the person to "break down" and finally embrace or face the source of the weight problem ie family issues, abuse, loss of a loved one, and then learn to heal and move on. Good for you for being an inspiration. I love the spirit of your blog. Acceptance but not Complacence. XOXOX Betty www.seebettyrun.com Sounds wonderful.
