It's not very realistic because they end up losing like 90 pounds in 90 days, but it's slightly motivating. Also, the Biggest Loser is motivating too. :)Amanda M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07061660843911190928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1818996339381602318.post-5980669518876702232011-01-24T05:22:04.898-08:002011-01-24T05:22:04.898-08:00I love the idea of being in remission.

I've never heard of this show, but I've been a huge fan of "Biggest Loser" for years because I identify with so many of the contestants, even the ones who were bigger than me at my biggest. It's a lesson in humility to relive those stories and see how far we've come!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1818996339381602318.post-38116859197807943722011-01-23T20:45:46.143-08:002011-01-23T20:45:46.143-08:00P.S.

It makes me so grateful for the help I've gotten from my band. Obesity is a significant issue and such a challenge, and it's frustrating to watch these shows knowing the statistical rate of success of what these people are putting themselves through. We all need to make good food choices, and move our bodies, but it's nice to know that after WLS, the chances of long term success is so much higher. We're the lucky (or smart) ones...Band-Babehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04261494642455058102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1818996339381602318.post-342424553248124422011-01-23T10:40:08.073-08:002011-01-23T10:40:08.073-08:00I dropped cable last year but I'm curious to k...I dropped cable last year but I'm curious to know if surgery was option that was discussed at all....anybody know?Lee Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03347541178777323818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1818996339381602318.post-11830699715186689632011-01-23T09:28:44.911-08:002011-01-23T09:28:44.911-08:00i was able to catch that the other night and I alm...i was able to catch that the other night and I almost cried when the chick said the only control she had in her life was to eat.

I was bulimic for many years and although I haven't purged in almost 4 years, I still sometimes feel like I could go back there at any time. I don't for a second consider myself "cured", but I feel like I am managing it well right now, even moreso since getting the band. Thanks for this positive message.Kikihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06198063370461455405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1818996339381602318.post-74100257738448007542011-01-23T05:37:16.320-08:002011-01-23T05:37:16.320-08:00Perhaps I am very prejudiced about WLS, but I just...Perhaps I am very prejudiced about WLS, but I just wish the first two featured individuals would go the WLS route.
