The Biggest Loser, Not Just for Losers
The scale jumps around from number to number as the team and trainers wait in suspense. As the number jumps around the contestants thinks back to his workout that week; wondering if it was enough. Still the numbers jumping around as now he thinks back to his food choices for the week. As the number finally stops, the show breaks for commercial. Everyone should watch The Biggest Loser.
First, The Biggest Loser is life changing. When contestants come on The Biggest Loser campus most of them are significantly over weight. Being this much over weight causes many of them health issues. Some come in with diabetes, hypertension and some even sleep apnea. These diseases and issues are drastic and life changing. With The Biggest Loser it changes lives by helping the contestants change to lose the excess weight and decrease the extra life’s that the extra weight added.
Secondly, The Biggest Loser is life Style Changing. To change the contestant’s lives we first have to change their life style. They come in with no workout history and no portion control ability or even knowing what healthy food is. Every day on the ranch is life style changing for these people. When we take a four hundred pound man and take two hundred pound of him and teach him how to keep it off we are giving him years back of his life that he can spend with his children and grandchildren.
When we watch The Biggest Loser we see many different cultures; however, I’m not just talking about whites and blacks. I’m talking about the Tongans’, they are historically obese communities, but now The Biggest Loser is trying to change that. Over the past three seasons there have been six Tongans on the campus. All six are success stories and have stayed on the show for a long time. With these six being successful they are inspirational for a Tongan community as a whole.
Speaking of inspirational, this is what The Biggest Loser is all about. We get to see over the years hundreds of contestant’s losing hundreds of pound ever year and that doesn’t inspire the United States to stop being the most obese country in the world, because we know what it does. Now every week when I watch The Biggest Loser like everyone should we could see different new things to help us lose weight and live better lives. We would not have this inspiration without The Biggest Loser.
The commercials are over; the show finally comes back on. The numbers are bouncing around still, the camera turns to look at the contestant’s faces as in slowly turns back to the scale as the number finally sticks. We hear gasps from every one as we see their faces of disbelief. As the camera turns back around we see the number. The contestant lost twelve pounds this week which put him over one hundred pounds lost this season. As the TV watchers we see the contestants change their lives every weak and every year. We see their life styles change from poor to great. We see the rich cultures that change and they finally see its ok not to go up for seconds. Lastly we see the Inspiration ever week. We as Americans are the fattest in the world. We need to get off our butts and get to work on losing weight. The only time we can sit down is to watch The Biggest Loser. We need to learn from what they do, and we also need to get everyone’s friends up and move. We need to put the controller down and go play games for real not just on the Wii.
