OK, I admit it. I watch this show. I've always wondered, though, if people keep the weight off after the show ends. I've also wondered what goes on when the cameras are gone. I don't like the "game playing" part of it but I love to watch the trainers work with the contestants.

I ran across this: http://www.nytimes.com/2009/11/25/bu...er=rss&emc=rss

What do you ladies think? Is this a good message to our overweight population? Are we encouraging people to make changes? Or are we encouraging the American ideal of the "quick fix?"
