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!

    When you follow the first sentence by the second, the implication is that you are connecting these two thoughts (especially when you only have a two sentence response.) Your two sentences standing alone are true statements. Trying to draw a connection between the two at this point is not. I thought my post was fairly straightforward, but then again I do not have any financial ties with Pfizer (and neither did the trial's Data and Safety Monitoring Committee, for obvious reasons). Rest assured that other pharmaceutical companies will be reassessing their own CETP inhibitors currently in the pipeline. Vioxx seemed like a good idea at one time, also. We are way off topic here. The take home message was (and is) to exerxcise caution when taking supplements.
