Chances are, he's going to gain AGAIN, as much as I hope that's not true.<br /><br />I'm sure he had some pressure on him with the invite back to the finale and all... Plus who knows what the producers were saying to him. :(Anonymous Fat Girl2010-03-09T23:10:23Zhttp://truth2beingfit.com/2010/03/09/tomorrow-is-the-day-this-does-not-go-on.aspx#comment-2896467I haven't seen that episode but I agree.. everyone has different needs! We were all made different and can't be expected to act or perform the same way!april2010-03-09T22:01:58Zhttp://truth2beingfit.com/2010/03/09/tomorrow-is-the-day-this-does-not-go-on.aspx#comment-2895579Very interesting post. I saw something about Erik on TLC or Discovery or a similar channel, and he truly made himself out to be a victim. It was very offputting, and it just struck me that he hasn't learned accountability for himself yet. Kinda made me sad, honestly. I'm with you - I'd rather see him heavier and not as flashy but clearly losing at a healthy, sustainable loss that anyone can do.Jeremy Logsdon2010-03-09T15:30:24Zhttp://truth2beingfit.com/2010/03/09/tomorrow-is-the-day-this-does-not-go-on.aspx#comment-2895461Great post! You hit a very interesting subject! You are right. The same approach will not do Eric any good if he can't keep some of the same eating habits and workouts up like at the Biggest Loser Camp. He needs to stick with what he likes...maybe that is boxing and cut meal portions. HE has to do the work and make the choice to eat better and workout. Only he can do that. He has been giving the tools to cope with weight loss and keep it off but he has to learn how to apply that to his life. I wish all the best for Eric :)Jen-JensFitnessTips.com2010-03-09T14:57:27Zhttp://truth2beingfit.com/2010/03/09/tomorrow-is-the-day-this-does-not-go-on.aspx#comment-2895453I hadn't read that about Eric. Too bad. I had hoped he'd show up for the finale with a realistic loss (not 100's of pounds in six months) and demonstrate that it IS possible to lose weight without severe diet restrictions and unsustainable workout schedules. :(Cammy-TippyToeDiet2010-03-09T14:54:05Zhttp://truth2beingfit.com/2010/03/09/tomorrow-is-the-day-this-does-not-go-on.aspx#comment-2895294I have been involved in health and fitness my entire life. I remember when I first heard of TBL I contemplated selling my business and walking away from my industry altogether after nearly 30 years.<br /><br />That an endeavor so important as weight-loss and health became a reality show profoundly saddened me, and permanently changed the way I think about what fitness truly is.<br /><br />I actually encourage people not to watch that show, and not to support it at all -- though it may be inspiring for some, it is simple entertainment for others, and at the expense of the the humility of the contestants.Emergefit2010-03-09T14:00:43Zhttp://truth2beingfit.com/2010/03/09/tomorrow-is-the-day-this-does-not-go-on.aspx#comment-2895281I am the original turtle in weight loss, but I have kept off 100 pounds for almost 2 years now. It took me about 4 years to lose that 100 - which would never have gotten me on BL.<br /><br />It's all about changes that you make that you can do forever. There is no way I could eat 1200 calories and exercise several hours a day for life. No way. So, I'll take the slow road thankyouverymuchLori2010-03-09T13:57:00Z
