And The Winner Is…

I am watching the Biggest Loser right now while I cook up my meals for the
week (love my Jennie-O turkey) and I am so inspired by
the marathon. Ashley looks amazing ( they all do), but she and Mike were so
inspirational tonight!!!! Way to go guys!

bob- I was watching the show last nite & of course it was great. You said something last nite that I had to respond to. You said to someone that all you have to do is ask for help & that alot of doors would open up to you. I have to say thats NOT true. I’ve been begging for help for years now & NO ONE has EVER helped me. I’ve now lost 52 1/2 lbs in 12 weeks & I had to pay someone to help me. As far as doors opening up for me well thats a joke. Not everyone is as blessed as others.

I understand about the help thing…but I am way over 500 pounds and am trying to get help….I hope that I have found it and hope finally I can change everything in my life to where it should be before I don’t have a life anymore. Just want to say that has a new person watching the shows for the first time. I can see it making a difference and just hope that in my life it will make a difference and finally make me open my eyes. Cause something has to change cause I can’t take it anymore and just being new to the show and watching how you handle stuff has made me at least this time want to try

I know you have a life and don’t know me, but I am inviting you to know me. To help me. I tried out for the show in LA in 2007, I sat next to Alison… I didn’t get picked =( It was teams though and I have ALWAYS been solo. When asked who I wanted to work with, my answer was you. I lost my grandma over Ten years ago to Cancer in her 50s. I am terrified of the disease. I just turned 30 this month and have been overweight my whole life – even though I lost 100 pounds I put almost half back on. Bob, I propose a great show Idea or just a great idea for your souls growth as well as mine. I don’t even need to be on tv (in fact I prefer not) but I figure “live in life coach” is kind of catchy. I am on my own spiritual journey and one day hope to be a life coach and mentor to children but today I have to take care of me first! I propose you PLEASE Come to Texas (the fattest state eVER) & help me get started on a new life. Come be my live in life coach and help me get that kick start I desperately need. I watch the show online and cry every time. I can relate to so many of the contestants. Please Bob, save my life! I need this help. I had a milestone this year and have put everyones needs above my own. I realize it is my turn but havent been able to figure out how to start actually walking the talk. I had gastric surgery and although I lost 100 pounds I came to a screeching halt and then became involved in yet another toxic relationship that caused me to put a ton back on (that and being back in texas). I have watched you on the show for years. I don’t “know” you in the physical world but I feel connected to you. I KNOW you could be the catalyst that helps me get going on my own spiritual path that will help SO MANY people! I know I am a beautiful and special soul, here to do great things… but I can’t get the ‘outside body costume’ to match that. I don’t know what is wrong and in my dreams and prayers I feel like I HAVE to take a chance and reach out to you in hopes you will hear me and answer this desperate call. Ps. I am also messaging you on facebook. In hopes I can reach you in any way possible. I am not a stalker by any means, just a brave soul reaching out to another. Be my friend Bob, help me to find the answer so I may let go and grow. My heart sends you love for all you do and who you are,Namaste Elle

Hey Bob,
I was really hoping to win your tickets…as was a bunch of other people I know. I wanted to say thank you for coming to Portland, OR on the 20th of May. I hope you enjoyed the little bit of time you had here. You definitely got a chance to see the many types of weather we get here in just a short amount of time. Please come back anytime we would love to have you back.

Millions of people go every year and try out for the Biggest Loser and Millions do not get to be on the show, I myself being one of them. You can continue to sit around the house and do nothing, you can complain that no one is helping you, you can plead to those who inspire us for help but the only one who can change your situation is yourself. Bob is right if you ask for help you will get it. You don’t need to pay a dime to make changes in your life. I am a 5’1 originally 415lb woman, who spent a lot of time blaming everyone except myself for my problem. I wanted everyone else to help me. After giving birth to my son and having a very difficult time, I made a decision that I needed to change things for myself. I started walking, planning my meals out, not drinking soda or empty calorie drinks. From there I started adding some weight training. I am still over weight and I have a lot to lose but at least I can say I am on my way. I am down to 327lbs in less than a year. This is an amazing goal for myself and honestly the Biggest Loser contestants were inspiring (Shay from lasst season). For those that think that Bob or Jillian are going to knock on your door and make everything change, you may want to reconsider this, it probably isn’t going to happen. Instead find people around you who have the same problem as you and start to work on changing this. Yes, losing weight would be a little easier if you had money for a trainer, speciality food, money for a nutricion counselor, but if you are reading this you have access to a free helping tool. The internet can help point you in the right direction. Yes, eating healthy is expensive but there are stores (Aldi, Save a lot) and farmers markets that can help lower costs, you just need to shop around. Everyone should keep working to become a healthy America. As far as those that expect the weight to disappear, well you didn’t go to sleep one night and wake up the next morning overweight, it took time to get there. So with that being said it will take time to lose it. Bob if you do read this I want you to know that you are inspiring and I do wish you the best and hopefully one day I will be able to meet you and explain how truely amazing you are. Good Luck to all those on their journey to a Healthier Lifestyle.–Elizabeth/ejames819@hotmail.com

To: Bob Harper–The Biggest Loser Coach. I wanted to tell you that I am still a fan of the biggest loser. I started watching the TV show after myself & my sister, Pam–tried out for the show in Chicago, IL-June 2009. I was one of the many who tried out for the show. I meet Holland, as she was great! She told us that she was looking more for a son & mother team so that is what I did, I asked my eldest son, Mike to try out. We met Brandon the next evening and did the taping. We waited like everyone else, and we were not accepted. My son was hurt but he has been trying to lose the weight himself, and with very little success. He is not as big as season 9 Mike, but he weights over 300 pounds. I just wanted to know in the future if you were going to create a show yourself–just like Jillian. I have an idea for a show for you too! You could invite people like myself, that were rejected*** from the biggest loser, and kind of where are they now type of show. It could even be like the biggest loser show–only named***The Biggest Loser REJECTS! You could have some past contestants help train us, (like the one’s that didn’t win the finale’s) and follow your style of training. I have been working on my weight loss daily–I started @ 236 pounds–I am currently 196 pounds. I exercise everyday. I did purchase The biggest loser for Wii–and it is working & I feel like I am at the ranch. I am seeing results slowly, but I just wanted to tell you that without your game–I would be clue-less on how to do an exercise program. I began my weight loss with the start of season 9. I just wanted to be there tomorrow nite, in LA for the season 9 finale–but I will enjoy it from my home. If you think that you are going to do a show, where we can go there to lose weight, please let me know, & I will bring my son and my sister as well as myself to audition for it. Just remember Bob, I am 48 years old, and I enjoy the game when I am exercising–I tell you every day not to “GO EASY ON ME!!!” and you don’t. I thank you for all that you & Jillian do & I thank-you for your show like “The Biggest Loser.” With-out the game–I would not even have gotten this far. My husband tells me by my 50th Birthday you will look like Valerie Bertinelli, (who is my idol–too!) I just want to have my family back! Thank-you for your time & good luck to all the contestants tomorrow. PS I am now off all medicines for high blood pressure–it is true that if I keep going “success is my future” I thank-you, Bob! God Bless You! I hope that this message will inspire just one more person, then I have just gain success. I will strive every day to be a success in my weight loss. I hope my son will learn by my example. Again, I thank-you & your whole team on the biggest loser!

Great finally tonight. This season has to be the best for inspiration. Congrats to all the contestants. No matter what, they are all winners. Healthy living and playing it forward is what this is all about. Bob and Julian — thanks for all you do.

Hey Bob***…***…***…***…
I just wanted to say that you do great things for people. I love to see that. I love to watch your planters take 5 ads. I learn a lot by watching it. Keep up the good work. I’ll be think of you when I go for my morning runs or when I lift weights.
