Biggest Loser Recap!
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!
Chocolate pb? Oh my word that sounds amazing!
I love the idea of salad day and I’m totally thinking of trying to start it at my office! 🙂
Oooooooooooohh – great idea for a snack! I have a serious sweet tooth and would rather eat sweet over salty any day.
We are biggest loser fans here too and I said the same thing, if I could lose the 41 I would be done!!
We love Nutella and my kids love to make marshmellow fluff in the micro, will have to tell my son to try your snack – luckily he is skinny like a tooth pick!
Mmm, your snack sort of reminds me of a s’more!
That salad looks delicious!!
I wanted to let you know that I nominated you for a bloggy award. Head over to my page later tonight to check it out 🙂
I missed it – thanks for the update! I didn’t know about this twist with the new trainers!
I’ve never tried chocolate PB before. Sounds delish!
I used to watch the biggest loser religiously and though I don’t really have time anymore, I find it so inspirational!
chocolate PB is awesome stuff. A nice spoonful is the only dessert I need!
Finally caught up on BL. It was a great show, I really like Courtney this season.
That dessert looks amazing!
I was hoping you’d like the PB! Rachel taste-tested it in the store and approved. I bought a jar of the jalapeno peanut butter for myself (which is what I gave Biz too). But I haven’t opened it yet!
