Biggest Loser-Ron's comment on WLS

I'm surprised that Ron tonight said that when he had the RNY, it was the easy way out.

I obviously don't agree with his comment.  Biggest Loser is certainly inspirational however it's also not realistic.  These people work out 7 hours a day and burn probably quadruple the calories they eat.

 

I haven't seen the show yet this week but that's surprising. If it was the easy way out, why didn't it work for him? Man oh man!

exactly!

I tend not to watch reality shows with the exception of American and Canadian Idol, I consider them talent contests, not reality shows. Have to admit I've never watched The Biggest Loser - I find the whole concept distasteful so I wouldn't worry too much about their contestants have to say.

Chk out the RNY board on surgical forms they are totally ticked about his statement. He failed not his surgery and we all know its not the easy way out!

Funny I got this email this morning about Biggest Loser and found it very interesting.............

Seems the show is pulling some fast ones on viewers..... I am not a faithful watcher - but this season peaked my interest with Ron having had WLS but when he said to Rocco last night he could have eaten a whole stuff crust pizza before coming on the show then that shows me that he has never worked the tool, first of all I do not know how you possibly stretch your new pouch to the capacity to eat a whole pizza and on top of that most of us struggle with breads and pastas being so heavy and getting stuck-- he needs a lot of psychological counselling in my oppinion and I am not sure if this show will help him ultimately succeed......

Jillian touting WLS as barbaric and most people die on the table does not sit well with me - she is misinforming the millions of people tha****ch the show - something like this only continues to perpetuate the images and non facts and lies that the general public think WLS is about - makes me very angry.

ok done my rant

 Some people just don't think about the harm a casual comment can cause.  BTW where is everybody?  Feel like I'm alone on here???
