I'm thinking it'll be the one who's almost consistently lost very little weight (in comparison of course). I don't know them enough to tell who's who.

to FORT, Pickle2008! So did you actually have her as an aerobics teacher?
I'd agree with you about her not being able to change if we hadn't seen Susie, with essentially the same build, change so dramatically after she left the show. The change between the next to last show, where she still was big below the waist, and the final show, was incredible.
Eagerly awaiting your insider scoop, rejectioncity!![]()
Yeah she was the aerobics teacher at Camp Shane the same year I went...and I would also like to hear the inside scoop as well....
Aerobics requires getting your heart rate up to burn fat and strengthen the heart. If she was able to teach a class and not really lose weight, there has to be a medical reason for this.
Yup, with donuts!!
I went to camp shane as well in 2002 and took her aerobics class everyday. It was the best aerobics I've ever done. She wasn't that big at all back then, but she did his a big butt and thighs. I was shocked to see her on tv because she looked familiar, I just couldn't pin point from where and then I remembered.
I have warmed to Maggie more since the departure of her buddy. I may have not seen the earlier unflattering episodes, but Maggie seems the less whiny of the two to me and demonstrably more mature. Of the two friends, she can probably cope better with being separated from her teammate.
Maggie is a very attractive girl, lovely hair, well-spoken. Needs to lose the distracting blue eyeshadow, though! Ah, she's 23 years old, she'll grow out of that.
I understand needing to lose weight for her job, but I do wonder if she isn't actually a more effective counselor to overweight kids being a little heavier? Someone who is closer to the kids' size might actually be a more inspirational figure than a Workout Barbie stick-thin type. The kids may feel that someone who is slender represents an unreachable body goal, as much as they might envy it. More important than being skinny, I think, the counselors should model good eating habits, making physical activity fun and positive self-image, even if she a size 12 and not a 2.
I hope the management of the camp will be willing to welcome back Jenn and Maggie after this experience, even if they are not at 'goal' according to some chart. The goal of any fitness program should be to make kids (and adults) happier and healthier in the bodies they have, even if those bodies don't conform to the 'ideal'.
I think a size 10 or 12 is perfect for someone in their situation, for the reasons you have mentioned, hikari. Those sizes are a healthy weight, just bordering on overweight and certainly not obese. I'd have a tough time taking direction from someone who is clearly obese and trying to teach me healthy eating habits. It would be much more comfortable than someone who has no body fat and sculpted like Venus.
There may not be ways to sneak food in, but the fridge and pantry at BL don't just have health food in them.Originally Posted by rejectioncity;2759016;
Past contestants have let me know that there are all kinds of foods that are absolutely not on their diet in the kitchen. Since the contestants are responsible for preparing their own meals, etc... they could very easily be misjudging their portion sizes. .
I agree that it's very easy to misjudge portions. Especially when you're used to such extremely large sizes. It's amazing how much food a person really needs compared to the portions of some things.
^ But I would presume they have food scales in the kitchen so that they could weigh their food thus making sure they have the correct portion size.
Before we begin, what are the parameters of the guessing game? How many guesses do I get? Is there a time limit?
