It is usually pretty emotional but tonight was super emotional. I think I creid for the whole first hour. That poor mother. I do not know how she gets out of bed in the morning. I hope she does well, I hope they all do well!

It was way emotional!! I still can't think about that mom without tearing up. Really if she has the strength to get through this, no one has any excuse not to follow through!

I have to say I hate that the show is 2hrs long. First, b/c I can't stay awake past 9pm (14wks preggers), but second b/c it is soooo drawn out. I just go online the next day to see the weigh in numbers and who was voted off!

It's going to be a great season though!!

I cried throughout most of the episode!

I watch it the next day (no TV here) so it's not as drawn out because I can skip forward. I like it better.

By the way...I feel SO out of shape after watching the first challenge. It takes me as long to do a mile as the contestants. I'm at least 100lbs smaller than the smaller women.

I can't believe I missed the first episode! I totally forgot. Now I'm going to have to read all about it online.

Yep Daniel is back - he lost 142 pounds last season but since he still weighs 312 pounds they brought him back.

Abby's story breaks my heart - I hope she does well in light of all she has faced in recent years.

I had to turn it off - I was too emotional last night and Abby's story put me over the edge! I'm cheering for her and Daniel!!

I'm glad the biggest loser is back! I don't think I'll be able to see Abby in any scene ever without crying, its just so incredibly sad.

I always enjoy the biggest loser. I too find myself crying with Abby's story. Even when I recapped what happened for dh the next day I started crying. And then when Jillian said she could be stronger after seeing what Abby has been through... waterworks!

I cried through the first two episodes! I love Coach Mo. I always like the beginning of almost every season when everyone genuinely wants everyone else to do well, but it does seem like around partway through, it becomes catty and about the money. Of course, I would probably be the same way.

I had never heard of this show before, but I've seen the first two episodes and I'm hooked! I like all of the contestants! Makes me want to work out.

I've never seen this show before, and now I'm hooked! I don't watch anything else but this. Crazy.

I'm sorry Coach Mo got stuck with Tracy. Not because she's a horrible, awful person--I think she's just so sad and mentally unhealthy. He just seems like he's in such a better head space and is such a kind, generous spirit.

It won't break my heart if she gets the boot soon....

Anyone else see the 3rd episode?

Where are my chatters? we're up to Episode 4 already!


This whole season has a different feel to it...I think it's because they aren't in couples anymore (you know what I mean...with their enablers as Jillian would say)


Tracy drives me nuts

tracy dives me nuts too.

I would like to hear more about the other contestants - it seems like this season centers around tracy & shay.

I really like Shay though!

I know, I like Shay too.


They always do this, though. Pick out a couple of people and ONLY hear their opinions for most of the show.

Tracy's blank looks remind me so much of Carla from last season.

I understand her playing the game, but she did it too early. though I wonder how a girl who can't exercise is losing more than some of the girls who are like Amanda(girl who "america" voted for to be on the show).

I'm glad they didn't do families this time.
