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!

    I think that's probably right, although it depends somewhat on age, size, sex, health and how fast you drink. But I know an awfully lot of folks having a couple of glasses of wine every night ... They aren't all flyers. At my last check up in Sept. I told the doc I had been drinking a couple of pretty strong rum and cokes a night. She said it was fine. Provided that I could stop for a month if she told me too (if liver was inflamed--which it wasn't). I would think 2 glasses of red or white, or a few beers each night isn't going to matter for this community...healthwise. In fact it might make me contemplate swimming fly! :joker:
