Jillian Michaels and everyone else associated with this show should quit if NBC doesn't try to rectify this. Why didn't they have a BMI requirement to win? I can't believe that not one professional associated with the show said we should require that winners be in the normal BMI range.
Shame on you NBC!! Shame on everyone who let this happen! |
Somehow, though, this show has been around for more than a decade without anyone looking THIS bad and unhealthy. If anything, I usually weigh less than most of the female contestants at their final weight, and I'm not a stick. |
This is the message NBC just gave to young women everywhere" Fatty fat is not OK. If you are going to have an eating disorder-be anorexic. We shame the fatties, but we reward the skeletons! |
And be fatter than The Biggest Loser? I think I'll pass. |
I feel very bad for you that you can't see a healthy, happy middle ground. I really hope you're just trolling for reactions, because it'd be really sad if you're serious. |
+100. Get some help, scary underweight woman, who is too unhealthy to run and thinks one burger = before pictures of the Biggest Loser. -- signed, 5'4" and 123 lbs |
Unacceptable for me. I don't like seeing a bunch rolls, back fat, and saddle bags. I look forward to getting into a bathing suit and love shopping for cute clothes. When I hit 155, I start looking like I have a middle aged body...you know, a menopausal mid-section. I can't imagine 175. Hope to never find out. |
Apparently this is the first contestant to develop anorexia..

The way you pick on others pp, it sounds like you have terrible self esteem. Like you enjoy picking on others, because it's a distraction from your own self. I hope you can one day work on whatever you're dissatisfied with about yourself (you know, beyond weight and the scale), and be a happy, productive person to yourself and others. |
I'm sure the way you spend your time and money is not acceptable to me, so we're even. |
Um, I'm about to turn 49. I AM middle aged! What are you, 25 years old? |
Not trolling. I am betting the jobs of eating disorder treatment professionals across the country just got a bit harder. |
omg - Now THIS looks bad.

that is a 4 year old article about a contestant who was on the show 6 years ago. My understanding is the show does things quite differently now. However I am not particularly surprised that while some contestants maintain a healthy weight others lose too much and others gain the weight back. The contestants all had very unhealthy relationships with food before the show and many probably never fully dealt psychologically with that relationship so once the cameras are off and the pressure is gone, the unhealthy thoughts and relationships resurface. |
anyone with any sort of "relationship with food" is unhealthy IMHO.
It's food. I eat it. |
