Extreme Makeover: Weight Loss Edition

ABC is repeating the Sally episode tonight. Really? Why?

I've never watched this show, but caught a couple of minutes while flipping around the channels yesterday. Not sure if it's Sally, but the woman I saw was chatting on the cell phone while on the treadmill, then sitting next to her weight equipment having a cup of coffee.

I'm not the brightest bulb in the sign, but I'm pretty sure drinking coffee while sitting next to weights doesn't do much for your muscle tone. I've been working out 5 times a week for several months. Down 23 pounds, feeling great. Still hate doing it, though.

Episode 8 - August 19, 2012 - Season 2 finale

Wife, Adriana, supported Jarvez and ate what he did and worked out with him and lost 48lbs.

I love it when the spouses get involved. It really makes the difference.

I also loved that Chris reminded Jarvez that 190 lbs in 6 months is extraordinary.

How on earth is Chris going to help 15 people in a year? Obviously, they're going to have to change things a bit since he can't move in with all of them for weeks at a time at the beginning of the process.

The timing of this show is all over the map, I am pretty sure Chris spends a couple of weeks with them and then has another trainer with them. Think about it: 3 months should only yeild 4 makovers a year.

In additon, Super Bowl XLV took place February 6, 2011, about 18 months ago and FTR it had to actually take place during phase 3 since his mother's birthday (when he visited her grave) was February 13.

One of the contestants that complained about the show and that they were encouraged to purge etc... said that there is an entire crew and that Chris's wife Heidi actually did most of his training. Chris also asks for daily email reports of workouts and food and he knows when contestants fall off the wagon because the communication falls off or just stops.
