Biggest Loser recap/chocolate/marshmallow dessert

I thought it was a really good show tonight, at some point I thought I would need a tissue! I think the highlight of the show was Arthur (the biggest contestant ever on BL) dancing on the scale after losing 13 pounds and his team winning the challenge AND immunity.

For those of you who don’t know or aren’t watching this season, the teams got to choose to workout with Bob & Jillian, or work with 2 trainers they didn’t know (and who we don’t know either because they haven’t shown them yet!).

The first week, the group who was working out with the unknowns lost the most weight, and this week, they sent the message they were going to win again. One person on their team lost 41 pounds their first week!
If only I could do that, then I would be done 🙂

The part that always makes the contestants cringe is when they meet Dr. H and find out everything that’s wrong with them. Arthur (the Biggest contestant) has 370 pounds of fat AFTER losing 150 pounds!

The Dr. pointed out that the twins who are cops are killing themselves slowly with sugar, chocolate, cigarettes and corn chips! One of the twins said which stuck with me, is that they were nonchalant about the things they were doing, not really worrying about it!

In the end, Bob and Jillian’s team won the weigh in. Some of the numbers:

Arthur -13
Jessie – 8
Dan -8
Don – 5
Olivia -6
Hannah – 6
Jen – 8
Jay – 10
Courtney – 10
Marci – 8

Courtney was 298 and when Ali asked her when was the last time she weighed under 300 pounds, Courtney said it was Middle School! Can you imagine trying to fit in a desk at school at 300 pounds?

What was the highlight of the show for you? Any favorites yet?

Today was also good because it was SALAD day at work! To be honest, I couldn’t even eat the whole thing!

And, after dinner, I was looking for something sweet to eat. I had a couple of marshmallows (45 calories) 1/2 a tortilla (40 calories) and a schmear of chocolate peanut butter (30 calories)

Cut the tortilla in half, put a dab of chocolate peanut butter and 2 marshmallows, roll up and microwave for 10 seconds.

The chocolate peanut butter melted and the marshmallows got soft and gooey and it was delish! All for 115 calories and it satisfied my sweet tooth!

My brother and his family gave us this in our Christmas basket. It’s SO GOOD!

Have a super day!
