Back On Track Together

I half watched a portion of the finale, but I didn't hear that comment. It's just completely ignorant. I saw one of the trainers, Bob, on Bravo's Watch What Happens Live a few weeks back. Someone called in and asked him what past contestant had disappointed him the most by regaining all of his/her weight. Bob's response was, "We have so many of those that I can't even begin to name just one." I thought that really spoke volumes about how successful their tactics are longterm.
Ive never watched the show, but i never really had much faith in it. They do extreme dieting and a butt load of exercising that is in my opinion unrealistic once they are back home and on their own. If i had a trainer and a chef 24 hours a day id be super fit and thin!
I posted a shorter version of this post on the Main Board.
Last night on Entertainment Tonight they interviewed a contestant from Season 2 that talked about a number of less than transparent things they do. Their "weeks" can be up to 20 days is one thing. I've watched the show periodically but last night will be my last.
TBL's doctor, "Dr. H" (Dr. Huizenga) stated to one of the finalists (Rob) "You didn't choose that distasteful weight loss surgery everyone wants to have." Distasteful? He's an authority to be able to make that biased judgement how???
I am just so pissed about his comment and the impact it could have on someone considering WLS to save their life. It is a very popular show so lots of MO people are among their audience. I'm so pissed about it that I sent them a message, gave them OH's URL. I told them to check out how many people have had WLS that helped them to become healthy and save their lives.
It is one thing not to like WLS but make such a judgmental statement to call it "distasteful" is ignorant on his part.
Consider me disgusted about his distasteful comment.

Have been traveling all week for work and managed to do pretty decent. Last night I ordered take-out from Bonefish and they told me the wrong sides and when I got to the hotel I saw I had my seared sea scallops and shrimp, but with couscous and jasmine rice. Which I promptly ate and logged to find that the sides bumped my dinner up to nearly 700 calories! Ah well, got back home tonight, so happy to have a few days at home.

Logged my food on MFP and calories are 970 which is still to high for me to lose. 84 grams of protein and 47 grams of carbs. I need to get down to about 800 calories to lose. I have noticed a lot of you are doing protein shakes. I have to do unflavored and can't mix with water so I have used unsweetened coconut milk. The taste is awful. I have been dong an afternoon snack as I don't eat dinner until about 7- 7:30. I thought if I ate later I could avoid night snacking which has been a problem for a few months. Maybe do some experimenting over the weekend to see what I could do different. Any suggestions are welcome.
