Things I ate while watching The Biggest Loser Tuesday night:
- 1/2 large pizza
- 1/2 red pepper, 1/2 tomato, 1/4 zucchini
- 1 bowl of cherries
- 20 stone wheat crackers
- 2 pieces of licorice
- one dark chocolate bar
- 4 cookies
Calories I burned while watching The Biggest Loser Tuesday night:
- 110. Mostly in trips to the kitchen.
Calories I gained while watching The Biggest Loser Tuesday night:
- I don’t know. Do not add up the list and tell me. Ignorance is bliss. Bliss may not be at racing weight by spring.
Things I wondered while watching The Biggest Loser Tuesday night:
- Why the” names” of “family members” on the other end of the calls home were captioned in quotes. Is it so humiliating to have a relative on national TV trying to win a weight loss competition the kin need to go into the witness protection program?
- How many pieces of Extra Healthy Extra Chewing Gum will fit in an Extra Healthy Ziploc Baggie.
- If Bob is secretly evil.
- Why watching hungry people sweat makes me so damn ravenous.

i honestly think there are subliminal messages in the BL telling us to eat and get fat. I can’t watch without eating, at least, 2000cal in an hour. they are trying to ensure another season of the show by making all of us watchers more squishy.
Interesting hypothesis. I’m going to watch on slow frame to look for the subliminal “eat chocolate” messages.
I’m assuming Husband ate the other half of everything, so you don’t have to get all guilty alone.
Big Dog has to eat! Especially considering that BL Tuesdays = Tempo Run Tuesdays! Anyway, I can’t say no to chocolate – but I did say no to licorice and cookies.
Hey shorty, I believe the pizza split was 55/45 in my favour… and you forgot the spinach (redemption song a la Popeye?).
If you take 55% as a porportion of your size and 45% as a proportion of my size I ate way more than you. As an aside, I once read a study about how marriage makes people fat.
Which people? The married ones or the unmarried ones?
I always groan when I see contestants idly waiting in the kitchen in need of worldly Ziplock advice. Perhaps the best product placement ploy was when Bob FedEx-ed a pack of gum to a contestant during the last at home weeks.
I crave root beer floats during the show.
Fed-exing ziplocs. Very environmentally friendly. The “eco” Brita sponsors would be proud.
i tend to go for an ice cream sundae when i watch biggest loser… probably not the desired result of the show, though i like pen’s subliminal message theory.
I almost never crave ice cream, but in the dead of winter watching TBL, bam, I want ice cream. It must be subliminal. I bet Haagen Dazs is a secret sponsor.
You crave, I fetch.
