Anyone planning to watch the season premiere tonight? I am. I find it pretty motivating for me and like to learn new ideas for weight loss.

Yep, I watched it tonight. And I find it somewhat motivating. However that is totally different than what any of us do. They are in a house full of people with the same goal (aka no bad foods present plus added encouragement and support), they don't have to go to work, they aren't driving by fast food joints couple times a day, they don't have donuts and cake plotted in front of their desk a couple times a week, they don't walk by a pop machine 5 times a day, they are able to spend HOURS everyday exercising (with motivational sidekicks and a trainer) and they have an added bonus ($250,000) at the end if they win. Oh, I'm not trying to take anything away from them and their accomplishments, I'm just trying to keep it in my head that their results are not typical and I shouldn't compare my progress to theirs (my puny 5lb loss doesn't compare to their 18lb loss). Can you imagine, losing 15, 20, 25 even 28 lbs in 10 DAYS! OMG. Amazing. How good must they feel! But as I saw the girls & guys getting on the scale tonight they were worried about losing the competition and some didn't seem to quite realize just how much of an accomplishment they achieved. I've watched Celebrity Fit Club this summer and it was pretty interesting because they weren't at a ranch, just left on their own with NutriSystem and some periodic work outs with a trainer. There were a lot of weeks with minor weight gain or just a few pounds lost. But that's gotta be so hard for the Biggest Losers, being away from their family. Boy, I don't know if I could do it. So I'll continue to watch every week. Drinking my water, eating my carrots or jello and wiping the tears from my eyes!
