Aaron, I saw your post about a treadmill prize for another contest. Awesome! I cannot tell you how much I appreciate you having this forum. I think that having a support system for us is a critical element that most dieters do not have (and one of the many reasons that we ultimately fail). I was excited about news of the treadmill because I am always looking for ways to get a more effective workout. I see the contestants working out on all of these machines on the show and I am constantly wondering if what I am doing can even compare. I belong to a small gym that consists of a circuit of machines and jogging (a lot like Curves) and was wondering what I could do at home that would supplement my workout without having to buy a lot of expensive equipment. Any ideas??

What about working out to DVDS? The biggest loser dvd is a good one, also yoga for wight loss and aerobics would give you variety and all would give you a great workout without having to spend hundreds of dollars on one piece of equipment. I have an excercise ball that cost around $30 and came with a dvd and I love it!

It is great that you are giving away the book and DVD! I was looking into buying the book, but the DVD sounds great too. I appreciate you having this site, I am new to it, but it already seems to be very supportive. Kudos to you for thinking of it!

Aaron...I have found that watching the Biggest Loser has given me HOPE. I am a new viewer of the show - started watching the show with the families competing...before the engaged couples...sorry can't think of their names. Anyway - after seeing this show I have realized that it IS possible for me to lose weight and feel confident in myself again. This forum has helped me through this past week - I have thanked you many times for such a great opportunity to talk with others struggling to lose weight - here I go again. THANKS! I have talked with my husband about getting the DVD and book - I hope to get it one way or another.

Aaron...I apologize - I didn't realize that I had already made a post to this section. I have basically the same information in the message - so I apologize for the repeat.

Thanks for the update on our numbers of messages - this is motivating me to keep in contact with everyone. I hope to make it to the top 5 before too long. Watch out ladies - I'm here and I LOVE to talk! LOL

If for some reason I am not chosen for season 3's cast (it could happen) could someone please share about any success they have had with the book, DVD, and or online club. I know that the program has got to work but I would love to hear about some real life scenarios (meaning without the ranch, money motivation, Bob, or Jillian). I have purchased so many diet books and aids that I don't need to have one more lying around collecting dust or water glass rings.

Aaron, How kind and generous of you to provide prizes for us! I think it would be great if you could get the support of the show to encourage the process. Anyway, Thanks for your efforts!

Weaverdelooh - it is great to know that your friend is working on her health. One of the reasons for me working on my weight loss is b/c I am working my way up to health problems. My family has a lot of health problems and one thing that scares me is getting diabetes. My sister is diabetic and I know that I couldn't handle it mentally...it terrifies me.

Congratulate your friend for me!

HappySmileGirl...I agree with what you have said about the best aspects of the show. It is nice to see "real" people with "real" problems - it has definitely given me HOPE in losing the weight. Like I have said - I thought that I was done for @ 28 years old weighing 245 lbs. I didn't think it was even possible for me to lose weight until I started watching the show.

Congratulations on losing weight - it is your first step. Keep it up! You ARE doing it!!!
