I have a confession to make. I really love watching Biggest Loser on NBC. I don't normally waste my time watching much TV anymore, unless it's to rest on the couch while the boys watch PBS Kids or a movie with the family. However, the one show that we watch regularly is Biggest Loser. See, DH needs to lose a little weight and I think seeing the successes of people much bigger than him really helps keep him motivated. And for me, I love seeing how some of these people come on to change their health for the better, usually for their family's sake. For example. Ken from the Red Team was voted off tonight (a decision I think Red Team will come to regret), but to see how much weight he has lost since he was eliminated is nothing short of amazing. He lost more at home than at the ranch, and even helped his wife lose 50 pounds. The pictures they showed of them look great!!! It's stories like these that really warm your heart.
One contestant that we've been watching fondly is Bobby from the Blue Team. Bobby reminds us so much of DH's childhood friend, Troy. Their personalities are similar, and they look like they could be cousins at the least. And Marty looks like a ringer for Troy when he was much younger, and also seems to have a nice personality. These men have made amazing strides in their weight loss goals, not to mention the other men on the Blue Team, Eric and Brian. So, our favorite team is the Blue Team where the men are in it to be healthier for their families, and they truly are a team.
So, that was my confession. I really like to watch Biggest Loser, and my favorite team is the Blue Team because it is full of men who seem to have really sweet personalities and love their families enough to leave them for 3+ months to try to lose weight and get healthy. I can't wait until next week! |
