I've Lost Faith In The Trainers On The Biggest Loser.

I was watching The Biggest Loser a couple of weeks ago and the woman, Jillian was talking. She was saying something about how the only thing that matters with the people she's training was losing pounds. She said people who are losing inches are just fooling themselves, that the scale doesn't lie...what??? Really? Yes I would like to weight a lot less but telling people that they have to lose pounds and that being a smaller size doesn't matter is only making matters worse. The pressure to do well on that show is bad enough, but to be told what progress you've made isn't good enough only serves to make the contestants feel hopeless. Honestly, I've never liked the way they do things on that show anyway. They seem to be more interested in getting huge results and squeezing all of the drama they can out of every week to get high ratings.

From what I understand that most of the people who lost weight on that show have gained most or all of the weight back. How is that helping anyone? That's why I've decided to quit watching it. That's the reason I quit watch Celebrity Fit Club because the panel pretty much said the same thing.
