Oprah Should Read This & The Biggest Loser
On August 5th I posted this story about the exercise pill. Imagine my excitement when on Tuesday’s Oprah she had Dr. Oz on explaining all about the workout pill! You heard it here first. Of course our story was totally speculative, unscientific, and had spelling errors. BUT had you been a reader AND then later had a seat in the Oprah audience you could have posed a well informed question which would have totally impressed Dr. Oz AND Oprah. Which is good.
Meanwhile… sticking with T.V. The Biggest Loser Premiered last night. I love that show. I called a close relative who struggles with weight and told them to watch. The Close Relative tuned in for a bit and called me back.
The Close Relative: Why would I want to watch these people? They’re way bigger than me AND they’re falling off the treadmill.
Kiki: Yes, you are smaller but wait until you see how they change their lives.
The Close Relative: But I can go on the treadmill for 20 minutes AND I’m good looking.
Kiki: You are good looking. But wait, you went on the treadmill for 20 minutes today? Great!
The Close Relative: Not today. Two years ago I could go 20 minutes, easy.
Kiki: What inspires me about The Biggest Loser is that I don’t have the amount to lose that they do but I get motivated by how hard they work to make a change. I need that motivation. If they can lose 100 pounds I should be able to lose something. See?
The Close Relative: Lose something is your goal? Why not your keys? You’re good at that. Okay how about this, I’ll watch the show instead of working out. Deal?
Kiki: How about you get on the treadmill while watching the show? That’s a Deal.
The Close Relative: I’m changing my phone number.
See I inspire people to change their lives just like Oprah and Dr. Oz. No? Okay, I inspire people to change their phone numbers.
***ANNOUNCEMENT*** We’ve got a great prize to giveaway so come back tomorrow for details!
Oprah needs to just call you and cut to the chase. I would watch her if you were on, but it would be a big sacrifice, because Oprah is the devil’s minion. You can tell her I said so!

Thank you. But of course we’d be nice to Oprah, Dr. Oz and all. That said. I’m not worried about picking out an outfit for the show just yet. I need to lose weight first.
I love Celebrity Fit Club…it’s very motivating. I need Tivo!

Um, I would change my phone number, too LOL. I exercise every day, but I think if someone started calling me to pressure me (mom!), my chip (devil) on my shoulder would send me in the opposite direction.

LindsRay0 I forgot about that show. Thanks for the reminder.
Alexia – I got the hint. No more nudging from Kiki to her Close Relative.
ALSO DON’T FORGET TO VISIT TOMORROW FOR A COOL PRIZE ANNOUNCEMENT.
Kikis last blog post..Oprah Should Read This & The Biggest Loser
you know what i would watch? combine the Ultimate Fighter show with Biggest Loser. I’d love to watch fat people beat each other up. Or maybe not even fat people, what if it was all republican fight club?

Way to be ahead of the pack on the pill – So glad we heard it hear first. I “own it” I am addicted to the biggest
loser. I love to see the transformations
Ok, I love Biggest Loser, but there were some things in the premiere last night that really bugged me.
First, bringing the people in and showing them how their heart and lungs are all covered in fat, and then the DRAMATIC way they showed them what their ACTUAL age is, based on their health. They could just say, “Ok, you’re 26 years old, but based on your health problems, your body is more like 47 years old. No, they couldn’t do that. They had to have it up on a big screen and actually COUNT all the way up from 26 to 47, because that’s like, SO. DRAMATIC! Duh duh DUHHHHHHH!
And then the way they come back from commercials and have to repeat a minute or so of the video they just showed before they went to the commercial. Like when they were voting at the end…the first lady voting gave her spiel about who they were voting for and why, and how sorry they were, blah blah blah. And then she starts to pull the lid up..and commercial! Then when we come back, they show the same footage they just showed about her saying how they were voting and how sorry they are, boohoo. Because repeating it is SO! DRAMATIC!
Well, I suppose they have to do something to make 45 minutes of show last two hours. But dang, this is really starting to bug me. I’m not sure if I’m going to be able to watch it. I probably will, but I’ll still bitch about it. Thanks for letting me rant. /rant
Furiousball, I would so watch the Republican fight club! I want to see Cheney v. Rove first!
I love this show. I haven’t watched the premiere yet, but I’m pretty pumped. It makes you (okay…maybe just me?) incredibly guilty for watching it from my couch, usually while chomping on a snack (or two…). This season maybe I’m going to try to maybe do sit-ups while watching or something. I hate sit-ups, but it’s nothin’ compared to what those folks are doing…right?
Hollys last blog post..Baby Got Back
I haven’t watched it since the first season. I was a bit disappointed by it then, and never went back. Has it changed a lot since then?
Charlie Hillss last blog post..Not That Funny
The style of writing is quite familiar to me. Have you written guest posts for other blogs?
Oprah should read My Book. I think she has tried everything else and failed. I sent My Book to one of the Producers of the show at her request and would you believe it, she didn’t even say thank you. I do send a few freebies but not anymore. It’s not worth it. I am trying to get people to see they don’t have to diet to lose weight. My Plan suits everyone, it is inexpensive and it is so easy and simple. I have turned the weight loss industry upside down. Do people want science to lose weight? There is no science involved in My Plan. That’s what makes it so easy to read and understand. Science didn’t make you fat. Food did.
