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!
I read this article today about internal and external fat...very interesting

Ok, I actually read that. First, I'm glad to know that gluttony was not the invention of Christianity. One less thing for it to claim. "Tofi?" (thin outside, fat inside) That is the strangest word ever. They actually use that word in the UK and not Hollywood? Geek must comment on this, but we seem to have lost him...
I also don't like BMI and agree that it's a "crude" measure. You can have someone who's relatively lean but muscular, i.e. mesomorphic, and they test high for BMI. Bunch of BS. Why if BMI were the real measure, half the world could be prescribed diet pills.
I think it is interesting, and Islandsox would find it so, that they said that you could be large and physically active and in a perfectly healthly state. Long live Islandsox!
