TV show The Biggest Loser

How many of you watch this show? I'm amazed that people can let themselves get so fat. And when they take off their shirts to weigh in, all that fat...yuck! But I commend the contestants for working to lose weight.

Yes they are big and sometimes they can't help it, they just get bigger. It's sad to me really- not Yuk..... It breaks my heart to see them get that way.
I love the show.

I'm not sure I can agree that these people can't help themselves. Some of these people say they're fat because of emotional problems and if that's the case, we've become a country filled with basket cases given the number of obese people there are now.

Wow, that is tough! Some are heavy because of emotional problems but others are health reasons. I do love the show though! I think it's amazing how Jillian and Bob whip them into shape!

I'm always so proud of the contestants by the time the end of each season rolls around - they accomplish so much in such a short period of time!

I can understand why it's so hard for some of these people to get the ball rolling on their own. Even losing 20 lbs (and, more importantly, keeping it off) is hard to do; losing 200 lbs probably seems impossible.

I've never seen it. I hate shows like this. I don't understand how people have to blame anything and everything for what is basically just greed and laziness. Sorry, but eat less and move more and you will not get obese!

I disagree with all the it's their own fault comments as I imagine none of you are super models either and have you ever looked really looked at what is in the food we shovel into our bodies everyday? Even diet sodas are designed to make you crave more of them. As for the show I commend the people for losing the weight but it's not something you'll ever catch me watching.
