I watched it some last season, but only caught the finale of this season that aired last night. Unbelievable! At least a couple people on the show lost over 50% of their original weight.
The winner, Erik, went from over 400 pounds to under 195. Look at these before and after photos:

Hard to even believe this is the same guy!
Something doesn't seem right however when big business is profiting at the expense of many...who can't say no to a super sized meal and a pack of Marlboro's.
Always convenient to blame the evil big business. They only sell what people buy, that's the way it works in America.
If I want to go eat a lard burger at lunch, I should be able to do so but then I shouldn't turn around and complain about being tubby or that I have "bad metabolism."
So, anyway, stayed at a hotel this past weekend with my family that has one of those free breakfast buffet things. I did an informal review of the crowd. The folks that were thin seemed to choose wisely - fruit, small portions, etc. Then, I noted a big family that had all their plates LOADED with the full-on fat daddy special (bacon, eggs, sausage, hasbrowns, and heaping helpings of each). Now, explain how removing trans fats is gonna stop those folks from loading up like it's the last meal they are gonna eat?
