This is a fairly interesting video where Jillian Michaels talks about some of the players like Sionne and Fillipe sneaking off campus and

Overall, the short video clip is interseting to Biggest Loser fans.

Turn the volume up and listen to how he speaks about the bodybugg.  I have seen him do alot of impromptu commercials on The Biggest Loser, but this commercial is different.  If you know Bob Harper from watching all of his “built in commercials” it is easy to notice that his tone is one of sincerity on this commercial.

Sure he is doing a commercial… but when he speaks of Bodybugg it is different.  I think it is because he really does believe in how great the system really can be for a person that is making an honest attempt to lose some weight.

I always watch the biggest loser, and I always wondered if Jillian MIchaels and Bob Harper were married, or even dating. Could some one please help me answer this. Thanks!

It was an armband that monitored something so that when you plugged it into a computer, it told you the amount of calories you burned that day.

In was shown on the premier "The Biggest Loser" episode tonight.

What’s it called, or where can I get that same thing? Thanks!

I was watching the Biggest Loser tonight and interested to know what they do to lose the weight. It was 16 weeks and they lost over 100 pounds! How much do they work out daily and what is their caloric intake? Thanks a lot.

Another season of The Biggest Loser has come and gone (season 6) and the show is coming back again in early January of 2009.  Bob Harper and Jillian Michaels did a superb job in enabling the contestants to lose weight.  The work they did was inspirational for all who watch the show.  To see people lose the weight in only a few months demonstrates, to those that know, how hard they really worked at their weight loss effort.  It was nice to see some of the earlier season’s contestants in the audience show up and still be slim and trim.  Not seeing those earlier contestants who gained their weight back demonstrates the reality of weight loss.  Long term weight loss is not something that ends if and when you achieve your desired weight.  Weight loss actually has little to do with dieting and more to do with life.

The cross section of individuals on The Biggest Loser shows that not everyone has the emotional ability for long term weight loss.  Looking back to Season one of The Biggest Loser,  Ryan, the winner of the show has gained all of the weight that he lost back again.  What this sadly points out is that anyone that is healthy has the ability to lose weight but EVERYONE has to master their emotions to keep their weight from returning. 

Some people have an issue with their emotions that prevents them from being able to lose the weight in the first place and that issue has little to do with the food.  Some of these same issues are what caused people like Ryan to gain their weight back again.  Some find comfort in food and they use food to deal with stress. Others use food as a form of entertainment while watching television.  Whatever the reason for being obese the real issue may be the emotional problems and the obesity is really just the symptom.

Looking back on all of the seasons of The Biggest Loser, Season 6 shed some light on this emotional issue when Bob Harper had a mini-conference with Vicky.  Bob said outright that he had a fear that Vicky was going to go home after the ranch and gain all of her weight back.  He went on to say that she had not learned at the ranch what it would take for her to keep the weight off for the rest of her life.  She was more about the game and less about the weight loss.

As you sit and ponder your own weight loss you need to realize that your inability to lose weight is based on what is going on in your head more than what is going on in your mouth.  Losing weight not only begins with a thought, it is the thoughts that carry you beyond a “diet” and through the rest of your life.  That is why the theme of the trainers on The Biggest Loser is more about changing your lifestyle than about exercising.  Sure they do hours of exercise but that is only because they are in a race to the finish.  That “finish” may be portrayed when the confetti falls from the studio ceiling, but the true finish really never arrives.  This is because weight loss is never something that just stays around, it must be worked on for the rest of your life.  I guess as far as Vicky is concerned we will see if Bob Harper was right about her gaining the weight back again. 

Weight loss is more about emotions than almost anything else since the emotions and mental attitude are what get you to the gym and also what keeps you eating healthy.  Before you begin your New Year’s Resolution check out your emotional state to ensure you are really ready to lose the weight.

Bob Harper from The Biggest loser fame has become a world renowned fitness trainer. He has worked alongside Jillian Michaels and has earned a spot among the viewers as being the compassionate trainer. Although he is tough on the students it is easy to notice that Bob Harper has a compassionate heart and is a caring individual. While Jillian is more of the military instructor type Bob Harper tends to spend more time getting to know the person he is working with and helping.

This is not to say that Jillian is uncaring, it is just that Bob tends to be more closely aligned with the person he works with. Bob Harper also has demonstrated that he is keenly aware of the inner workings of the groups on The Biggest Loser. Whenever a contestant has done something to manipulate the scales at the weigh in Bob was right there with his insight. An example was when one contestant drank two gallons of water to increase his weight on the scale. Bob seems to have his pulse on the happenings of those he is working to help.

Bob Harper is a person that many people would love to train with in their effort to lose weight. His casual attitude and appearance show his true personality. The tattoos that he sports are not shielded from view which demonstrates his take me as I am attitude approach to the world. Bob Harper appears to be in control of his life and willing to help others. Granted he must be earning alot of money but that is alright. He is actually helping people not only lose weight but he is sincere about that help. His frustrations are also quite obvious when his advice is ignored. One important insight to Bob Harper is the fact that you will actually see him wear the same shorts from season to season. How often do you EVER see a celebrity wear the same outfit twice?

Bob Harper is a good person and his ability to help others lose weight is to be commended. He is an inspiration to those that he does not even know and in Hollywood today that is quite rare for an icon. Most celebrities offer only poor role model choices. The role model that he presents is a good one. You go Bob Harper!

We here at I Choose Thin have been fans of the Biggest Loser since season one. My wife and I who are on a constant battle for weight loss actually go through withdrawals when it is between seasons. Sue (my wife) really would love to train with Jillian Michaels while I would rather work with Bob Harper. As we sat on the couch watching the episodes we were always thrilled with the no nonsense approach to weight loss that was presented throughout the theme of the show. What really thrilled Sue and I was the fact that it was all done through education, exercise and dedication. This down to Earth approach was the reason we started the I Choose Thin website. Having been tired of all the weight loss nonsense and knowing we would never be on the show we were looking for an outlet of weight loss knowledge. The Biggest Loser and the team up with 24 Hour Fitness with Bob Harper and Jillian Michaels was a match made in heaven.

Nowhere else in the world of advertising and television was the concept that the best way to lose weight was through education and then a whole bunch of sweat through exercise. Many viewers do not realize that the contestants spend 7, 8 or even 9 hours of their day in the gym. Many viewers sit on their couch eating ice cream thinking how great it would be to be on the show and do not realize what they are wishing. I equate it to wanting to become a United States Marine and forgetting a little place called Parris Island , where Marines are born in a concept called boot camp. When I watch the Biggest Loser I know how great it would be to be on that show not because of the get thin fast concept but because I know that is one place where weight loss would happen.

Being on the show would allow you to use the most advanced weight loss/exercise equipment available and that combined with the training of Bob and Jillian would provide the combination to allow the sweat to pour. That sweat is what pushes the weight loss but it takes more than an hour episode for that to happen. In order to lose the weight a person has to be committed to weight loss for the long haul. A person has to have that inner motivation that goes deeper than a one hour episode can achieve. Having been a follower of the show I have been saddened to see the weight gain by previous contestants but I do not degrade them because I know that life can get in the way of fitness and weight loss or even weight maintenance.

If you are a person seeking weight loss you must first have the motivation and then you must have some deeper motivation. Only then will that weight loss attempt amount to a lifetime of health. Only after you have made the decision to lose the weight should you ever think of spending money on equipment at 24 Hour Fitness. The products they sell are not cheap and deserve more than becoming a dust collecter in the spare bedroom. The products at 24 Hour Fitness will work the same way they work for the Biggest Loser and that is through the sheer fact that they are being used.

If you desire to lose weight then take the cue from Bob Harper, Jillian Michaels , the Biggest Loser and 24 Hour Fitness and get up and do something about it. After you start then just remember that you have to keep going and not give up.

This blog has grown in popularity quite a bit. We have no official connection with The Biggest Loser at all, other than the fact that we think it is an awesome show. We love to watch Bob Harper and Jillian Michaels do their thing and watch the weight fall off the contestants. We have been getting a lot of questions about what are the things that are on the arms of the people on The Biggest Loser. We get asked the question at least 50 times a day. The question may be different, but the theme of the questions are the same.

People ask what is the thing on their arms? What do they wear under the sleeves? Where do we get the device they wear? We are overwhelmed with the question so we have decided to get make an entry for all to see and read. We have tried the product and we actually use it every day. That product is called BodyBugg and it is a state of the art weight loss product that will help your weight loss attempt enter the 21st century. BodyBugg records how many calories your body burns in the course of a day. The system is simple and so easy to use with your home computer.

We are not here to tell you how much we love to use it and how it helps us keep track of our calories or how it interfaces with our home computer. We are not here to pitch it to you, we are only here to tell you that what they are wearing on their arms in The Biggest Loser is a device called BodyBugg, which Bob and Jillian use to help their teams lose weight.
