The Biggest Loser - The Social Network

The Biggest Loser: Families premiered last night on NBC. Also premiering right along with it was NBC's new Social Network companion, The Biggest Loser League: tbll.nbc.com

"The Biggest Loser League" will allow people to create their own teams and recruit members from their communities at any level – families, friends, cities, companies, schools, organizations and neighborhoods. The site will provide the tools and resources needed for team leaders to create motivational messages, grab tips and weight loss tracking widgets, and utilize a tool kit of food journals, workout logs and challenge tips. Teams will also be able to compete against other teams to start living healthier, more active lifestyles while earning points for participation.

In addition to user-generated challenges, there will also be a weekly challenge that relates to that week's on-air episode of "The Biggest Loser: Families." The site will include helpful features like profiles, message boards, photo and video galleries and blogs for teams and members, a weight/BMI tracker, exercise, diet and motivational tips and a robust search page to help users find new friends or teams to join. It will also offer welcome kits for captains, leaderboards to track top point-earning teams and members, and special promotions and offers from the NBC store and www.biggestloserclub.com. Select teams may also be featured online and on NBC's local affiliate stations.

"'The Biggest Loser League' is the perfect example of what can happen when great television meets an active online community. With NBC.com's social networking capabilities, the possibilities are endless," said Vivi Zigler, President, NBC Universal Digital Entertainment. "We're really excited to see how far these enthusiastic, engaged fans will take it."

One of the most important parts of my journey was the community aspect and others checking up on me and seeing how I was doing. This looks like NBC's attempt at doing the same thing.

Why not give it a go?

Eating Slowly

One of the biggest problems I had over the years of overeating and just plain not eating right was eating too fast. Growing up with brothers I am sure had something to do with this, but was not the only reason. When I was in my late teens and early twenties I worked in management at a Long John Silvers. Managers were not given breaks, and we could only take time to eat if time permitted. Many times this meant that I ate while running around like crazy, shoving the food in whenever and however I could. This time in my life really helped set some of my bad habits of eating too fast and eating without sitting down.

I have to admit, this is still one of my hardest things to deal with. When I eat too fast I almost always eat too much. For me, sitting down to eat, and not being too hungry when I do are key parts to succeeding at this.

I came across this great post over at www.positivityblog.com which reminded me all too well of this ongoing issue I deal with. Many of these things are key things I used in my journey to lose the weight that I did. Give it a read, it is a great reminder.
