I can’t believe the crazy woman is sticking around. But at least Carla is back.
And I’m pissed about the orange friend not doing anything at home. And his comments - he does not deserve to stay.
He was a total ass!! He was the one that got Dave kicked off. He should have stayed because brown team has each other and could do it together.
Looks like Dave made some real progress on his own. Dan has even lost a fair amount of weight.
The crying thing is old.
“I know I can do it on my own”. Really? You lost a whole 16lbs. What a loser.
Dave was just the excuse. Fact of the matter is the vote went right down Bob/Jillian team lines, and Bob’s team had more votes. And were pissed from the week before. Even if Dave had done a crying song and dance, they’d be gone. Bob’s team kept their teammates.

As well as they should have after last week.

Good point. The glove has been thrown down hasn’t it? Should make it more interesting.
Did you see the clip where Dan visited his doctor? He said he’s been seeing the same doctor since he was 12 regarding his weight issues.
Umm… Since he was 12? Imagine what size he’d be without close medical monitoring of his obesity.
I think after a couple years working with that doc and still gaining freakish amounts of weight, I’d have figured out that she didn’t know what she was doing and moved on to someone else who could actually help me get it under control.

Agreed. I was pulling for the Green team, but now I am leaning toward Blue.

What is another doctor going to do. They can’t make someone do the work.
As far as the green team goes, I really like Tara, but Laura really came across as a whiner in the first week. On the other hand, Tara seems to be a primo asskicker.
Whiners annoy me and I hope for their elimination. I always pull for the people I preceive to be kicking the most ass.
It appeared that the doctor that Dan was seeing was part of Duke University, which I think has one of the top obesity clinics in the country. It sure didn’t work for him however. I have to say, the footage of him at the end looked great - 101 pounds so far, I hope he keeps it up because he still has a long way to go. I agree with others - the blue team is fun to watch, they really seem to have gotten into working out including the team member who was at home.
I had asked a couple of weeks ago about the Body Bugg. Thanks to everyone who replied. I did get one and I am loving it. I have always logged workouts and my food but was never sure of the calories burned. This way I have a better and more accurate way of tracking. Not surprising, I was over estimating the amount of calories I burned.
Two questions…how does the bug thing calculate your intake or do I have that wrong?
The second…did they show a picture of “the model’s” prior to gaining weight? or were they plus size to begin with?
…and to save my man card…my wife makes me watch it.
It doesn’t calculate your intake, you have to enter that. There is a food log as part of their web program. You download your bodybugg and it will show calories burned and has graphs which show activity level etc. If you have logged your food in their food log it will then show the difference. I am not fond of their food log, probably because I have used the one on Training Peaks and I am familiar with it. So I download the calories burned and then look at the food log on training peaks to compare. On Training Peaks it will estimate your calories burned based on what you entered in the workout log but I found that even when I adjusted those numbers based on my RMR and such it was still high. The bodybugg is worn around your arm on an adjustable armband so at least now in the winter no one would know you have it on. You can buy a digital display that will show throughout the day how many calories you have burned, how many steps, and how much activity time.
From what I have seen of their modeling pictures the green team of former models looked to me to be plus size models. I am not positive about that but they didn’t look like the stick thin runway model types.
…and to save my man card…<<
Too late for that. l;-)

That makes better sense.
I am going to have to go look for a new man card.
Dan lost 101 pounds so far and that puts him at ~370? If he loses another 100 pounds he’s around 270, still obese, but could walk away with 100k and still could be heavier then a good number of people that start the show.
That is so true! I just can’t imagine being that young and that heavy. I am curious as to the family dynamics in his immediate family and what his support system is (hopefully better then his friend who was on the show). They never showed much about his family like they have with some of the others. Could be good reasons for that but just curious. I was at the grocery store the other day and saw a family with several preschool and toddler age children, all of whom were extremely overweight (and not just baby fat). The grocery cart was full of junk, chips and sugary drinks and the like. There wasn’t a veggie or fruit to be found. I found it to be very sad, those kids don’t have a chance unless there are some changes in their diet - and soon.
Yea, Joelle is gone! Too bad for Carla, but she had to have known in the back of her mind going in what a lazy sack Joelle was. I’ll bet money Joelle doesn’t even show at the finale. Carla will look great, I’m guessing.
Love the blue cousins. They are my #1 faves right now.

Joelle - HA, that’s about all I can say about her and not get on the soap box.
I told my wife before the vote that if they got voted off the “friendship” was over, sure enough, it happened. Carla had lost 87 pounds pretty much on her own, Joelle was at 59 pounds w/ 6 weeks of constant working out and guidence from a trainer. I don’t understand if she’s stupid or if she just doesn’t get what hard work is, or is just f-en lazy and can’t be bothered.
She has some serious mental issues that need to be addressed. She is not even capable of answering a question about if she wants to be there or not. She is dillusion.
