Biggest Loser Dreaded Week 2
Hi Everyone,
I’m back from my vacation, but maybe I left a part of me on the boat! I messed up and didn’t tape the first hour of last night’s Biggest Loser! I’ll fill in once NBC puts the episode on the Internet. If anyone out there would like to guest blog and fill in for me–please comment. I would really appreciate it. I’m a bit behind after being away from home for a week.
Bob and Jillian work the contestants hard during the last chance workout because week 2 is notoriously the week where you don’t lose much weight. My favorite part was when big, tough guy Dane admitted that Jillian scared him. LOL This group of contestants seem really determined and push themselves past their limits. The exception to the rule is Joelle from Bob’s team. She seems to have some kind of mental block that is preventing her from doing what she needs to do.
Weigh-ins: Tara from Jillian’s team lost only 1 pound. Fortunately for her, she has immunity. Next up is the Black team. Blaine lost 16 pounds and Dane lost 14 pounds. They beat the week 2 curse! Mandy (yellow team) lost 6 pounds. Helen (pink team) lost 8 pounds. Mike lost 7 pounds and Ron lost 12 pounds (brown team). Damien lost 9 pounds (red team). Kristen lost 10 pounds (purple team). Filipe lost 9 pounds (blue team). Joelle lost 2 pounds (silver team). She definitely is undermining herself. I wonder why? Jerry lost 1 pound (white team). It was so sad to see how everyone reacted. You can tell that Jerry is well liked by everyone. I think it has to be very hard to lose weight as you get older. Daniel lost 3 pounds, but he has a one pound penalty. I was really surprised that was all he lost considering he weighs the most. The two that fell below the yellow line were Jerry (white) and Daniel (orange).
It was really tough for the contestants to choose between the two because they both need to lose the weight and they are both such good guys. Jerry was eliminated. Everyone agreed 19 year-old Daniel needed to remain at the ranch.
Jerry and Estelle are doing great and losing weight at home. Jerry has had a check-up and most of his symptoms/illnesses are gone. It’s amazing what exercise and weight loss does for your body!
So, that’s it for this week. Have a great week…stay tuned. Bloggergal1

Hi, I am confused, why did they only lose 1-2 pounds this week-also, how much did Jerry(the senior citizen) lose when he returned home?He looked so good!!
Andrea,
Usually in the second week, contestants don’t lose that much weight because the first week they lost all their “water weight”. The second week is when it gets serious and they have to eat a lot less and work out very hard. The reason some lost a lot of weight and some lost only 1 or 2 pounds is probably because they didn’t workout hard enough or ate more than they burned. Another reason could be that their metabolism is probably slower too. Everyone loses at their own speed and I guess that’s what the show is all about, huh?
As far as Jerry, I didn’t catch how much he lost. But, I agree with you, he looks great. But more importantly, he “feels” better! Bravo to him!
