Well I have to say my husband and I have been together for nearly 20 years now. We've been married 16 of those years, and the closest my husband's EVER gotten to being over weight is 200 lbs, and he's
6'2"!!!! Not exactly the ideal candidate for biggest loser as far as I'm concerned. One area I would like to see focus in is for individuals with handicaps. I.E., I know a guy that's handicapped, but the majority of his handicap comes from his weight problem. I would like to see how well he would do with the one on one assistance that the show offers.

I really enjoyed watching the teens from the special editions. Even though I wasn't all that heavy in high school, I sure felt like I was huge. Maybe Season 4 could focus on high school or college students. It would help motivate all the youngsters to put down the remote or video game controller and get out there and get moving!

That would be great to see a show with younger people. Great idea!

I am all for anything that could get my son of the couch and motivated. He is skinny now, but I think seeing the possibility of what could happen in the future to him or his friends would definitely be a wake up call for him to get moving.

I must say that my children are very energetic. They are always outdoors! That is one of the reasons for me wanting to lose this weight - so I can be out playing with them...I am still young enough to do this - I should be doing this. Does your son play games on TV? I have always told my children no to this - I don't like that my nephews sit in front of the TV playing games - they would do this rather than play a sport. I'm not for that at all!

I think a handicapped show would be a great idea. My friend has a neice that is parilized and in a wheelchair and she is doing weight watxchers and so far has lost 60 pounds I think - - I think that would be very inspiring too.

Yes my son does watch tv and play his playstation but I try to monitor this. We live in an apartment complex that is just very busy, so it is not conducive to telling him go outside and play. If we are going to do an outdoor activity it means that we have to decide what to do and then get in the car and go do it.

That is the problem with this new generation of playstations etc and also the safety of doing excercise outside as well

I wish I'd gotten to see season 1. Is it out on DVD yet? I'd love to still watch it.
