Daily Wahnsinn: Am I the only one who finds The Biggest Loser a really questionable... →

Am I the only one who finds The Biggest Loser a really questionable show? Sure, it’s entertaining, a bit like a train wreck. But the overall message is really appalling.
I don’t have a TV in my new apartment, so I watched the season premiere on the NBC website tonight and I’m alarmed that not…
I think you might have missed the point where this is the first week, and it is certain that contestants lose bigger amounts of weight the first week, because they drop most of their water weight. What I think the show forgot to express is that they have quite a “small” cast of contestants this year, compared to other seasons. Only 1 of them was over 400lbs.
What I think was the issue was that both Bob and Dolvett know that if you are in the 350s, you have more than 15lbs of water weight to lose, and they were expecting them to lose it all in the first week. It’s only when fat loss is this massive that it starts to become dangerous for the body and heart.
30 day Fitspo - Day 30 - LAST DAY!!
30. 10 facts about you. And now what are your stats.
1. I sometimes doubt the process. Even thought I know all the facts to successful weight loss, I feel like there is no way I can still eat 1800 calories a day, and still lose weight.
2. I speak 5 languages; Norwegian, Danish, Swedish, English and Spanish.
3. During the last couple of months I have fallen in love with yoga.
4. Every time I go out running, I always hate it sometime during the run.
5. I am studying English to either work in publishing or translating.
6. The longest I have ever run at once is 13 km/8 miles.
7. I signed up for a half marathon in April. That’s 21 km/13.1 miles.
8. I am terrified I might not finish it.
9. I know that everyone in my life believes in me, and thinks that I can accomplish anything. It wasn’t always like that.
10. I have days when I don’t love myself. But reflection, my boyfriend, my friends, and sometimes tumblr help me through it.
My current stats:
Height: 165 cm/5’5”
Weight: 63 kg/138 lbs
UGW: still 120ish
30 day Fitspo - Day 29
29. Your definition of beauty.
A self-confident, strong person who isn’t scared to let others see exactly who they are.
I just found your blog - and I see you've made SO much progress already! Its really motivating, and I love your blog!
Yay, my first nice message :)
Thanks so much for the kind words. I have to say that I have been going at this for quite some time now, and for the moment I seem to have hit quite the plateau. But being on tumblr, seeing all the other people that are working so hard and all the great tips, help me a lot and give me so much motivation :)
Keep up the hard work, you are a big inspiration to me as well ;)
30 day Fitspo - Day 28
28. Do you want that gap between your legs? Why?
I don’t want the thigh gap or the collar bones as much as I want the ripped abs and the kick ass butt.
I don’t want to be skinny, I want to be healthy, strong and fit!
