Biggest Loser

The USA one started tonight on Livingit, not sure if its repeated.

The UK one starts on MOnday on ITV at 9pm with Davina hosting this year!

I do think these programmes are great for motivation & help me get back on the straight & narrow after Christmas. x

Brilliant Linzi,

I've been following the USA one since it started and love it... glad it's coming here and for sure, it really does motivate me and I'll tape all the series on Sky Plus and watch the lot when I need some inspiration!

It's a great series and there is so much information... I wonder who the personal trainers will be over here?

Or is Gillian coming here! I could do with her behind me!

Love and hugs xxx

Looking forward to it starting on Monday, I think Davina will be good on it. Shes never been really big but she has battled with her weight at times XX

 

[Bev]

It will be good to see it here... my big brother in the USA got me started on the Biggest Loser since it's a huge success over there... I love the challenges... could do with a personal trainer (in my dreams)... but it really gave me some exercise ideas.... plus there is something to aim for week to week... I really enjoy it.

The UK trainers aren't as good as Bob & Gillian but then who could be... its the third UK series Bev. x

 

[Bev]

Well, I've missed it here... I've only seen the USA series' on Sky, so that's a great bit of info.

Thanks so much Linzi xxx

I've never seen it, don't really like reality tv, but is it worth a look?

 

[ditzeeblonde]

TBH you've not missed much Bev... doesn't compare to the US one. Hopefully now its on ITV with Davina it'll be better. x

 

[Bev]

Davina may get it going! Thanks for sharing, I would have missed it... again! xxx

I find it great motivation & its goes much deeper than just losing weight, it addresses many of the reasons why we put weight on in the first place. x

 

[Bev]

I've been impressed by how the personal trainers (US) seem to have an empathy for the emotional side of why and how we have 'achieved' our weight... and this is balanced against a tough backdrop in terms of routine and discipline.... I could do with that type of firm handling... I have found watching the Biggest Loser USA to be really helpful and in terms of picking up 'tips along the way'...

Love and hugs xxx

Gillian is just amazing isn't she Bev!

 

[Bev]

Haha... she is and I think she has a 'huge soft centre'... there is such passion in her when her 'students' are getting weighed in....

They do a great job and I would hire her for sure if I win the Euro Lottery this weekend.... haha... xxx

I know THIS already open mouth, shovel bucketloads of food in, sit on wide a*s for years

Will def V+ it to watch without teen daughter going "ugh gross, etc" and DH being uncharacteristically judgemental!

I couldn't beleive the losses they had in the first week on the USA show. I have a feeling a lot of water was drunk and weights hidden down socks at their initial weigh in lol.

I do really like the show but it also makes me feel guilty because these people are managing to lose vast amounts of weight without resorting to surgery. I suppose they do have a lot more help with motivation though.
I feel sorry for the ones who are kicked out so early. I think they should all have a month in there before eliminations start.

 

[SCOOBYDOOBYDOO]

I absolutely love the biggest loser and have watched the australian one too.
I just wish they would show more of what they actually eat instead of just the fitness side of things. x

 

[ditzeeblonde]

Great point Leanne. xx

I agree with Linzi and Bev - I've loved te last few US ones but the Uk one didn't do it for me - I'm hoping Davina will make it more watchable!
Mind you - Gillian v Bob - I think I'd go with Bob every time! lol
I checked the TV listings and can't find the US one on LivingIt - anyone know what day and time it's on so I can set V+ to record?
Thanks guys!
