Tonight was the first episode of The Biggest Loser. It was quite entertaining and motivational to watch. I felt for each team member as they shared their stories of how they got to where they are and how badly they want to change their lives.
The three trainers all seem highly motivated and tough. I have to say that Jillian Michaels seemed to be the toughest out of all three. I know she was one of the first trainers when the show started and it seems her methods haven’t changed much. She had her team really working hard in the desert. I think I’d want to be on her team because she is hardcore.
All of the team members lost incredible amounts of weight within a week’s time. Of course they are all monitored strictly by doctors and their trainers. I’ve always read that healthy weight loss ranges between 1 to 3 pounds per week. Hopefully people watching the show don’t get the wrong ideas and try rapid weight loss plans which could be hazardous.
The first person voted off was Amber. It seems that everyone agreed that she wasn’t as highly motivated as she could be. She even sounded as if she lacked the confidence to continue. It was good to see that she lost 65 lbs. after she left the show. It is a competition so while it is sad to see people getting voted off, I think the show gives them the jump start they need to improve their health.
I’m looking forward to future episodes. It’s fun to see the teams lose so much weight and definitely inspires me to work hard too.

Jerry was unbelievable. First to win the race, second to lose 31 pounds in one week, and he started at under 300. Simply amazing.
