Maybe I'm just a skeptic....

+1 -- I think "Heavy" is far more realistic, thoughtful, and "deep" than TBL. Instead of it being all about competition and a "game", it seems to be about people making real changes in their lives, in more than just diet and exercise. It's well done and often very touching and/or heart-wrenching.

Monday nights at 10pm (EST) on A&E, for any who are interested.

The last one I saw really got me. The woman who shaved her head was just so brave in my book. I loved her. I cheered for her when she finally realized that she was worth putting first for a change. I hope she's still doing well; she looked fantastic.

She was awesome! She brought tears to my eyes. That's what I like about this show. It's not strategy and alliances, as TBL can be at times, it's stories of human beings trying to improve themselves in a variety of ways, along with their bodies. Even though I am very fortunate that I am not overweight, I still find this show inspiring, as we all have areas of our lives that need work.

haven't seen the show - but are you sure it isn't 12 min miles? = 5 mph? That's my trot on a treadmill speed. that is also the units my treadmill reads.

This is what I suspect, as well. BIG dif. between 12 min/mi. and 12mph. When I first started running my miles were 12-13 min/mile...and I wasn't more than 15#s overweight. This seems a WAY more likely scenario.
