Agreed, The biggest loser contestants are the same as the 600# lifers or the people that richard simmons used to work w/ to help lose weight. They lose weight and get into better shape while they are under constant surveillance and monitored by an entire team of people who force them to do what they should have always done in the first place. But release them into the wild and they fall back on old habits of sloth and laziness and end up the same as they were before.
