Last night as I was settling into bed to go to sleep my wife flicked on a new reality TV show called More to Love. I am a sucker for most reality TV and this show looked intriguing. The idea behind More to Love is just like the Bachelor or the Bachelorette where one person has a group of people who want to get to know them and fall in love. The spin with More to Love is that the guy is 300 pounds and all 20 women are plus size girls ranging from 190 to 279 pounds.

The show itself was fun to watch although it was a bit painful at times. The guy, Luke Conley, is a real estate investor and has lots of confidence although he says he has had his heart broken before because of his weight. The girls on the other had mostly have a lack of confidence and that is what was a little painful to watch, the girls are really nice and many of them are in fact beautiful, they seem to have everything together but often they do not have the confidence socially and all have sad stories to tell of never having dated.

The show was good to watch though with my wife and I laughing at some of the characters funny comments and Luke Conley stealing kisses from any of the women that he could. You can really tell the Bachelor show people are involved in the way the whole whow is setup except for the fact that there is no rose ceremony, instead there is a promise ring ceremony which seems strange to be giving rings to so many women.

Looking to make a change and lose some weight? I have reviewed the top diet on the internet and you can go and read over 200 comments people have made about why this diet has worked well for them, as well as some of the problems.

We have all seen Allison Sweeney gaining her baby belly over the last couple of seasons of the Biggest Loser but today I ran across the first pic of mom and baby on the People Magazine site.

When the time came for mom-of-two Alison Sweeney to shed the weight she gained while pregnant with daughter Megan Hope, 5 months, she drew from her experience as host of NBC’s The Biggest Loser.

“I’ve learned a lot about nutrition and how to count my calories” as a result of the show, she told PEOPLE at the second birthday party for pal Nancy O’Dell’s daughter, Ashby, over the weekend.

Losing the pregnancy weight with a Wii

Of course, juggling a diet and exercise routine with two small children and a busy career is tough, but Sweeney says she found a great ally in the EA Sports Active package for the Nintendo Wii. Read the rest of this entry »

OK, so now it is the next day and I do not want to spoil for anyone but you should have watched the Biggest Loser Couples finale already. So here it is…Helen won!

The final three were Helen Phillips, Tara Costa and America chose Mike Morelli over his dad.

As usual you did not have to watch the season to watch the finale with all the kicked off contenstents on the show and weighing in.

First of course were the highlights of all the people this season and then the weight ins. In a big surprise the first guy kicked off, Jerry Hayes. losing a pile of weight, 177 pounds, and taking home $100,000 as the biggest at home loser.

That part itself took a couple of hours

Then the final three, with intros and how they got here which was really nice to see. This season has seemed long and it was nice to see all the transformations from beginning to last night. Read the rest of this entry »

NBC will be finally ending this marathon couple of seasons of the Biggest Loser tonight. Last fall they started Biggest Loser and then after a couple of weeks or so break came right back with Biggest Loser Couples. Tonight the finale will be three hours (I guess Celebrity Apprentice set the finale expectation), and we will once again see another person crowned Biggest Loser.

If you remember back to last week both Tara Costa and Helen Phillips made it to the finals and now Mike Morelli, and his dad Ron Morelli (never seen those last names before, It took time to find them) are in the America votes section to see who makes it to the final three.

I am pretty excited to see what happens tonight, I am a big fan of Tara as she seems to work so hard and never gives up no matter what the challenge is. I am surprised that Helen made it so far since she did not seem to have any big weeks, kind of stayed under the radar and kept losing week after week. And of course Mike who has been amazing in his real determination, showing his emotions and working until he was sick. Ron, I am not so sure about, since about the third week Ron’s only reason for being on the show has been to protect Mike and get him to the finals and with his health problems he has not had much of a chance to lose as much weight as he could have with a healthy body.

Who do you want to see win? Are you excited about the Biggest Loser Couples finale tonight or are you kind of burnt out from the show being so many hours each season? It will all be over in a few more hours

Oh, and they just started filming the next season of Biggest Loser!

The second half of this weeks Biggest Loser Couples was on a couple of days ago. I haven’t written much about the Biggest Loser this season but tonight really was an interesting episode.

In the first half that took place the night before, the teams had a challenge where they had to lie in mud and then stand up and touch a Biggest Loser tag hanging above their head. Oh, and they had to do this 100 times as fast as they could. In the end this was just a way to pick teams so that we would have our final blue vs black teams.

Just as in past seasons Bob Harpers team is the blue team and Jillian Micheals team is the black team.  Jillian was shocked at the changes to the team and called it that Bob was going to be heartbroken, the teams are not completely different then they were for the trainers and everyone has trouble adjusting.

Biggest Losers having a baby" src="http://img2.timeinc.net/people/i/2009/news/090112/marty_wolff.jpg" alt="" width="240" height="320" />My wife starts her day looking at the headlines on the People Magazine website and this morning saw this article about to Biggest Losers having a baby….and there is a picture of how they look now.

Marty Wolff and his wife Amy met during the third season of NBC’s The Biggest Loser in 2007, got married in March 2008, and now are expecting their first child in July 2009, PEOPLE has learned exclusively.

Although they had been talking about having kids during their courtship, “After we got married, at a certain point, we let nature take its course,” Amy says. “We are very excited!”

The Wolffs, who live in Omaha, Neb., run a weight loss and self-improvement program called Reality Wellness. They also help organize local competitions, such as Shape Up Omaha, focused on getting folks fit.

“We take a token of what we learned on The Biggest Loser and applied it,” says Amy. “We’ve helped 250 people this past year lose 5,000 pounds!”

One question that I get emailed about more than almost anything else lately is “How can I get on the Biggest Loser?”

I know that many people are interested in the show, after 7 or 8 seasons now people have seen so many success stories on the Biggest Loser that they can’t help but think that there is no way that they can lose the weight they want to lose without getting on the biggest loser.

I for one don’t beleive that at all, no matter if you want to lose 20 in one month or lose 100 pounds in a year there are always ways to lose the weight without going on a TV show. Really! Believe it.

How to get on the Biggest Loser

Ok, now after that if you really want to know how to get on the Biggest Loser I have a plan that won’t guarantee anything but I think will improve your chances to get on the Biggest Loser. Read the rest of this entry »

Last night I again watched a couple of episodes of the Biggest Loser back to back. We are not keeping up with the Biggest Loser very well this season so we will scan throough a couple of shows at a time in about 2 or 2 and a half hours instead of four hours that the show actually takes. When watching the Biggest Loser off of the PVR I find that my wife is very aggressive at fast forwarding through the boring stuff and I am maybe not so good at that.

Oh, and Extra Gum is a great alternative to having a snack.

Anyway I found it interesting that After Amy voted off Vicky’s hubby Brady that she was in the doghouse but when given a chance to get rid of Vicky she didn’t….and it got her kicked out by Vicky the very next week. Read the rest of this entry »

I have been watching the Biggest Loser Families every week for the last few weeks but I have not been posting about it at all for some reason. I wondered why and thought I would post to the blog to answer my own question.

Well in watching this season I have been enjoying the Biggest Loser and think that all of the characters are great and interesting to watch. I think that the producers of the show are really doing a good job this season to really round out the characters and I like them all, well maybe not Ed so much he seems to be a bit cocky and not as friendly as the others.

Last year we had a great time watching Biggest Loser Couples and I think that as a season went it was really educational, entertaining and had a bit of drama that made it lots of fun to watch. Tomorrow, Tuesday September 16th the next season of Biggest Loser Families starts and I am again really excited to watch and blog about it.

This year there are eight teams of two and to add a bit of confusion there are four teams of husbands and wives and four teams of parent and child. The trainers again this year are Jillian Michaels and Bob Harper.

This year the  Biggest Loser site has a lot of info on the team members as well as a little bio and the starting weight for each participant. Also they are letting us know that the teams are split up with Bob Harper training the husband and wife teams and Jillian Michaels training the parent and child teams. Read the rest of this entry »
