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!

    Both my parents are in their late 90s now; smoked and drank heavy for years but stopped both when they entered their 70s.Donna So I guess that means you can still clean out your system after its contaminated or you can de-stress your life after stressing yourself out. I think SCY is right, you can't stress over things you can't control. Vitamin D -- is it in or out? Are we using sunscreen or not? Or we taking glucosamine or not? Are antioxidants effective or not? Oh, are they? Anyone taking alpha lipoic acid? Are antioxidants regulated or do they just have that "the FDA has not approved the statements" on the bottle stuff? I haven't done that research. Someone must know. My buddy who owns some a "whole food" type store says that if you only take 3 things, it should be a multi-vitamin, CoQ10 and glucosamine. He says the glucosamine really helps dogs with arthritis, for all you posters with dog avatars.
