--- Quote from: Texan on March 26, 2009, 12:52:13 PM ---I agree Tara's attitude it bad. Yes it is a game, but you make no friends by gloating and expecting to win. Some people can win and then still be freindly. I think Tara has taken the game part to seriously and has alienated people. We all know the minute she falls below the line she will be gone. And with the numbers lately I think she has hit a platue and will go next week.
I am not sure who i am pulling for right now. I think Sione kind of has the same aspect as Tara, just not wining the challenges.
I do not think she will make if but I think I am pulling for Kristin. She is getting alot out of this and looks like she has a support system at home that will help her too.
I worry more people will be like Aubrey and gain weight at first and get discouraged. when you go from 4 or 5 hours of work outs to fitting that into your routine it is hard.
I think Mike will do well, and Ron will be pulled along because of Mike. I just sometimes think Ron is not totally in it and someone else would have used the time much better.
Next week with the contestants coming back... I am curious will it be one person or two coming back.

:tup: so true I agree Texan

An interview with Aubrey:
Biggest Loser’s Aubrey Gives Weight Loss Advice to Busy Moms
When Aubrey Cheney first decided to lose weight, she knew it would be a challenge. Especially with five kids. So she went on The Biggest Loser with her sister Mandi, lost a ton of weight, and accomplished more goals than she ever dreamed. Unfortunately, Aubrey fell below the yellow line on this week’s show and was sent back to the comfort of home. Which meant, of course, a house full of kids to take care of. Aubrey was thrown right back into the situation that caused her to gain weight in the first place. How does a busy mom find time to exercise and cook healthfully anyway? Aubrey shared her number one tip for moms with Fancast, as well as some of the juicy tidbits from back at the BL ranch.
When you returned home you had a little bit of a struggle before picking yourself up again. What advice can you give to other moms in your situation?
Organize a schedule. And there’s always an hour or two that, yeah, you could be doing housework or you could be doing laundry but you could also be going to the gym. Come up with a schedule and see when your slowest time of the day is… take the time that you would normally do housework or housecleaning and take that time and go to the gym.
Have you been helping your dad lose weight?
My dad and I have been to the gym together a few times. And I’ve taught him some of the things that I’ve learned on the ranch. I’ve tried to teach him a little bit about nutrition but everything has been so crazy still as far as me trying to figure out my own schedule and how I’m going to take care of myself. Dad’s the type of person that he needs someone to be with him; he needs someone to go to the gym with him. And it’s hard for me to find enough time for myself and, you know, it’s almost impossible for me to find as much time as he needs for me to be with him. So he’s taken what I’ve taught him and he has been to the gym, he’s been working out on his own I think a few times and he’s lost an additional 16 pounds.
How did you feel about running the half marathon with your sister by your side?
Running a half marathon was more than I would have ever expected for me to do. It was very, very challenging but I think my adrenaline and where my body was physically from being on the ranch and being trained and being conditioned made it so much easier. And then to have my sister next to me I think running a half marathon was more than I ever expected to get out of the Biggest Loser besides my weight loss. And I think it helped put into perspective that I’m not just losing inches and I’m not just losing pounds I’m gaining accomplishments and I’m gaining self confidence and I’m gaining my life back.
Before the half marathon, they showed you eating one of the cookies. Who did you eat it for?
I was eating the cookie for Helen. Actually I ate two cookies for Helen. My whole strategy was I figured everyone else would eat for Sione and Tara because they were obviously the two biggest threats as far as winning this challenge goes. And Helen and I were really close as far as the times that we can run a mile and our athletic ability was the closest out of everyone else there. So I figured I would leave it up to everybody else to take care of Tara and Sione. So if I took Helen out then maybe that would give me a chance to get first place. And had I eaten all 13 cookies, six for Tara, six for Sione and one for Helen I would have won by under a minute. (laughs)
What did you first think when Alison told you guys you had to pull a car?
Well when we walked up on the track and we saw all the cars there I was thinking this isn’t the right reality TV show to let us drive the car so I figured we’d be pulling it. I was hoping the only thing I was worried about from then is how far we’d be pulling it. And when she told us it was a quarter mile I was thinking this is crazy; this is insanity. There’s no way I’m going to be able to pull a car a half mile. But yeah, it was hard.
During this week’s challenge, everyone seemed to be ganging up against Tara. Was that the objective?
We were absolutely ganging up on her. We’re all there for the same reason and that’s to change our lives and become healthy. But we are also involved in a game. And the game aspect is when there’s someone who is standing between you and a healthier lifestyle or $250,000 then your first instinct is to eliminate them or to try and slow them down as much as possible and that’s what we were all trying to do.
A couple of people wanted to stick with Bob as their trainer because they feel like this is Bob’s year. Do you think Bob will be the guy behind the Biggest Loser this year? And what do you think is unique about this season to make that happen?
I think that people this season have realized that it’s not about $250,000… it’s about changing your life. And that’s what makes people drop the hugest numbers. I mean, we’ve broke so many records this season. And I think it’s because people aren’t there for the money; they’re there to literally change their lives. And when you concentrate on that instead of concentrating on winning I think that that puts a lot more power behind what you’re doing. And I definitely hope that this Bob’s year. I hope Kristin wins; she’s being trained by Bob. She definitely has the numbers. She definitely has the percentage to be able to lose that much. And I hope he takes her all the way to the end, not just for her but for him too because he is a phenomenal trainer and he doesn’t care about winning or losing.
