I didn't remember TBL was about to start back up. Thanks for the reminder! Can you give karate a short break to see if you miss it?

I'm sure I'll miss it, but I think I need the break regardless. I'm being pulled in to many different directions right now.

It's a reality TV show based on losing weight. It started in America, but there are now versions in other countries. I know Australia has a version because I've watched in online, but I don't remember where. I did a search on "Biggest Loser UK" and it looks like there is a UK version, but I don't know what channel or time.

Hey, nice work on getting that pound back off! Always a good feeling. When you get a chance look up the Biggest Loser stats on how their contestants do after the show is over. The stats are pretty depressing, which is why I'm not a fan. The show is a step in the right direction, but they don't teach people how to maintain their weight loss so most of them put it back on.

The last time I looked I believe about 50% of their contestants put their weight back on. Depressing, sure, but still leaps and bounds above the 95% failure rate of the general public. The biggest problem I have with the show is how much they don't share with the audience. It's much more of a spectacle than an educational program. Still, I remain an addict. I can't help myself.

Hehe, I can certainly empathize with that. Sort of like me and Junkyard Wars. Of course, I'm trying to "armchair general" their ideas. :) You're right that it is better than the 95% recidivism rate out here in the general population, but I think it would be a lot better if they tried. Ah well, one day. :)

I agree, but people don't seem to want to be informed about the reality of it (this is America dammit, we want to see things EXPLODE!). That show is like the Olympics of weight loss. They eat a very strict, controlled diet and work out close to 8 hours a day under supervision of a team of medical professionals. They don't ever share that info on the show though, so people watching at home get disappointed when they don't drop 12 pounds a week... and then dive back into the cheezy poofs.

woah that is very very orange, what made you choose that colour?
14 Sep 09 by member: SelinaMinus60

It was the goofiest, and therefore the most awesome. :P Warm colors are my favorite, and my previous car was red, so I went with orange this time. The yellow just looked a bit too weird.

i think yellow has to be next you should attempt to have a rainbow of cars :D at least you will always be noticed!!

Is your roomie handicapped? He better not be one of those jerks that managed to get the handicapped rearview mirror thing and continuously uses it if he isn't! I like the orange car. It's sassy.

Oh, he's a jerk, but he's also legitimately handicapped. :P He's missing tendons/ligaments in his feet, so he can't walk for long distances or stand on his feet for too long.
