Anyone else watch The Biggest Loser?

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: www.nbc.com/.../erik_before1.jpg www.nbc.com/.../erik_finale10.jpg Hard to even believe this is the same guy!

  • Putting aside the gene pool, two of my grandparents lived to be over 100 and they lived on a small farm. The other two lived in the city and passed on in their 70s. I don't have stress anymore after moving here. My biggest stress is where to swim on a given day. Donna Well, you're gonna outlive me then because I'm pretty stressed out living here in urban suburbia with traffic and three busy kids. And the upcoming holidays are not helping out in the stress department. I had a grandmother who lived to 106. Had her own apartment until cataracs forced her into a nursing home. She walked everywhere, was always chatting with friends, ate seeds and fruit and forced that stuff on me when I visited as a youngin.
