The Biggest Loser

How great is this show?!?!  I can't believe I just started watching this the other day (I know where have I been right?).  Sunday on a whim I decided to watch it and I am definitely hooked.  I don't think I have cried so much in such a short period of time, that show makes me so emotional. 

In my family there are a lot of overweight people so it was very easy for me to replace some of these contestants with some of my own loved ones, even myself.  Having decided to lose weight and make this lifestyle change is something that wasn't easy and there were times where I wanted to quit or wondered "what's the point?"  but I kept with it and pushed through and finally arrived at a place where I am content. 

This show is amazing because you really can see that these people want to change their lives and also see that a lot of times it's not so cut and dry as "oh they just need to stop eating cookies" or "they are just lazy".  People are so mean and so judgmental of others with weight problems, I think this show (for those that do watch) is great at showing that overweight and obese people a lot of times really do struggle to lose the weight, have other issues that are stopping them from losing weight or just gave up due to other life experiences. 

The show is on it's 12th season, I am definitely rooting for Ramon because he reminds me so much of my brother and he has such a great personality.  Anyhow, if you haven't seen it definitely give it a try! Click here.
