H-O-L-Y C-O-W that was a great finale! It’s always my favorite part of the season.
I totally called it yesterday, I thought for sure Danny would win since he lost so much weight on his own for that 60 days. But, did I think he could get down to 191 pounds from 440?? Ummm…no! Where does all the skin go? Can it shrink that fast with such a big weight loss so quickly?
I thought Rebecca looked amazing, I thought Amanda looked good, but I thought she would have lost more, and Liz did great, although as soon as I saw her, I knew she wasn’t going to win.
Some surprises of course were Tracy, the one no one really liked. I still didn’t like her when she was skinny! What did you guys think of her transformation?
The thing that always shocks me the most is how much they lose. I think one of the reasons that these contestants do so great is that they are doing a ton of WEIGHT exercises as well as cardio. Weight training is the only thing that will change the shape of your body. If you do cardio alone, you will be smaller, but have the same shape.
I think that’s why they can change their WHOLE bodies so fast.
AND, I thought Shay did awesome. For having SO much weight to lose and still a lot to go I thought it was super generous that Subway would pay her $1,000 for each pound she loses from now until the finale of the next show which is in May, 2010!

So did your favorite win? What was your favorite part about this season?? Did it motivate you more to see how great these did?
I was still rooting for Liz, so my evening was relaxing once I saw her for the first time… looked good, but was an also ran.
My wonderful sweet wife without a mean bone in her body HATED Tracy. She was sooo pissed when it looked like she had a shot.
But, we all know the challenge is to keep it off for 5 years or more… I wish everyone (even Tracy) well, and hope they know the real challenge starts today
Rebecca and Daniel? Where did that come from? Ew. Daniel can do better… lol. Can you tell Rebecca is not my favorite. I do wish them all the best. I just hope they can all maintain it.
I thought this was a great finale this time around! I thought (and hoped) Danny would win. Rebecca looks amazing, I thought Amanda would have lost more too. So happy that Subway is offering Shay an incentive to keep with it – you know her husband /family will be extra supportive now! I really didn’t like Tracy either but I’m glad she was able to achieve such great results – hopefully she will be able to keep it off now that the ‘competition’ part is over. I’m so excited the BL starts up again at the beginning of January!
I think the show is so great for the people who are really able to change their lives for the better, but I haven’t been able to think about it the same way after I read about the super unhealthy techniques a lot of the contestants admitted to using before their weigh-ins. I wish they focused more on making sure the contestants are being healthy in their weight loss.
