Guest guest Posted January 11, 2012 Report Share Posted January 11, 2012 People magazine just did a thing on past people from The Biggest Loosers and almost all had gained back.some.of the.weight even if just 5 lbs. One Guy had gained back quite a bit of weight but then had taken back off most of it. It just said to me " yo-yo dieting " . I will never go back to actual dieting but am always striving to be as healthy as I can whether large or small. Balance and moderation of all things is my motto.

Having morbidly obese people, who never exercise, start out by running a mile through the desert is beyond me.

I really feel for those folks on BL and don't see how they possibly maintain their weight loss after going home when they are taught that they must spend hours each week in the gym and must eat like a bird.  I'd rather be comfortably fluffy than to have to live out the rest of my life with that struggle.  Ann Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
