I watched the Biggest Loser the other night

Also remember when the trainer said he thinks the black guy is going to be the fastest to ever lose 100 pounds in the history of the show.

If I'm going to lose any weight, I'm going to need lighter underwear.

I watch the show every week. I would say it has definitely inspired me to get off my butt and lose some weight. I'm almost 4 weeks in and I've gone from 201 to 189. I don't think it has set incorrect expectations for me though. I think people are smart enough to recognize that they are not in the same environment as the people on the show. I also look at it and see that I'm not as overweight as these people are so I don't expect to see similar results that they are seeing.
