I love the Biggest Loser, but it's around this time when I start to wonder. My fiance and I actually argued about this and had to break out the iphone to access a BMI calculator.
The argument was regarding Tara. I don't know if it's because they show them standing next to their old heavier self or what, but she started to look too skinny to me. And I just don't know how she could lose any more weight and still be healthy!
But apparently, based on her height (5'9"), she could get down to 140 (she's currently 159) and still be considered healthy.
So I lose that argument. But I always wonder about the contestants when they get to the finale stage. Yikes.
How do you know she's 5'9"? I was thinking that she was looking kind of gaunt, too.
ReplyDeleteI think the contestants go CRAZY on the finale and they NEVER keep that low weight once the show is over - it's just not realistic or healthy.
Ali looked sick to me when she won it two seasons ago.
I'm not sure what calculator you used, but the way I figure it, she can get down to 125 before she's considered unhealthy.
ReplyDeleteNote: I am not suggesting this is optimum, but anything below 125 will likely begin reducing her life span.
