April, whatever you decide, please just make sure to be supervised by a doctor when doing anything so extreme.

After losing 40 pounds, I came off my high blood pressure meds and my heartburn meds. All I take today is my daily vitamins. :)

Jonni, sure, feel free to put a link to our page. Though, we actually have two of them. I would recommend using http://BalancedLivingWeekly.co... as we plan to eventually abandon the Biggest Loser Page.

I watched the film Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead on Netflix. Thanks for letting your audience know about it. Once again, healthy habits make medications unnecessary. That's the message I get from Biggest Loser also, and it's one that I apply to my own life as well. I would love to do a juice fast, if I do, it would be for a short amount of time when I have a vacation to enjoy it. It would be worth investing in a decent juicer and seeking reasonably priced produce to make it happen. Juice fasting is also featured in Dr. Ronni's Marthas' Vineyard Diet also known as 21 pounds in 21 days. Another similar dramatic healing film is Gabriel Cousens' Simply Raw involving several people with diabetes vastly improve their health.

Hello Gentlemen.
Whyare there no comments on your posts?
I just want to say that I thoroughly enjoy listening to this podcast. I did start listening because of the "Biggest Loser" title. But I stayed because of your Christian views and the health factor together. That is my life in a nutshell. Also, your chemistry is inviting.
Thank you for putting this together for all of us who listen.
I have a little blog about being healthy, one follower so far (ha ha) but I wanted to ask your permission to put the link to your podcast on my page.
the page is www.jonnisfitcamp.blogspot.com
if you would like to check the content.
thank you again.
Jonni

Re: 071 Balanced Living Weekly – Summer Vacation Thoughts

I'd see Mark's videos. Funny stuff. The song reminds me a little of Greatest American Hero theme song at the beginning. :)

In this episode, Cliff mentioned that he discovered Ikea after a new store opened near him. Maybe Cliff would be interested in the following Ikea-related humor:

Mark Lives In Ikea, starring Mark Malkoff, a friend of the GSPN community

The song "Ikea" by Jonathan Coulton, which contains only one expletive and is the funniest (and only?) song I have ever heard about Ikea.

Enjoy! I am long overdue for a trip to Ikea myself...

Thank you so much Rachel! Glad to have your feedback!

I totally felt the same way about the cast as Fr. Roderick. They all seemed like they really just care about losing weight and not winning cash. But it's early haha...Oh, and the male trainer is definitely Brett Hoebel (I know his capoeira moves even just in silhouette) and the female trainer is most likely a female boxing champ Cara Castronuova. She's relatively unknown but Brett definitely has a huge following. Great job on this episode, guys!

Re: 050 Balanced Living Weekly – The Opportunities of Change

Thanks for the feedback. I've not heard of either of these two new trainers. However, I hadn't heard of Bob & Jillian until the Biggest Loser show. ;) I'm glad to know that one of the trainers is already someone who impresses you.

Many blessings to you in the new year!

-Cliff

Rachel J. — Fri, 24 Dec 2010 23:40:00 -0000

One of the new trainers is Brett Hoebel (I think) who created the workout RevAbs. I'm a huge fan of his, and I think he'll be successful on BL. Though of course Bob and Jillian are tough acts to follow.

Re: 037 Biggest Loser – A Pilgrimage To Chipotle

Awesome.. Thank you so much for taking the time to leave this comment for us! I really appreciate that! Please come back and let us know what you think of Chipotle. I took Stephanie to lunch there today!

Hi Cliff and Father Roderick! Enjoyed listening to the most recent podcast, which I listened to on the way to work. As soon as I sat at my desk, I checked to see if there's a Chipolte nearby, and turns out there's one less than 3 miles away. I'll be trying them for lunch this week. I'm really looking forward to joining you and your community on a journey to better health. Your podcast helps keep me motivated and on track. :)

beth, that is so exciting. Thanks for sharing the update! Let us know how you continue to progress with your couch to 5k.

I really enjoyed the podcast this week! I know that it is kind of a spin-off, but I am happy to be able to hear you during the BL off-season!

I wrote a couple of weeks ago about the struggles that I have had with weight-loss and want to share that I have had some good weeks and have been able to shift myself to a more balanced person with a lot of help from you guys... and Jillian Michaels (even though she doesn't realize it :) Her book Winning by Losing is really fantastic, especially for some one like me that struggles with emotional issues, self image, and food! I have started to listen to Master Your Metabolism from audible and look forward to implementing some of what I am listening about!

I also want to share that I have started the Couch to 5K program from Podrunner I am not as fast as you, Cliff and Fr. Roderick, but each week I can run a little more! I haven't weighed myself since I last wrote, but I am feeling better with the added activity and attention to food and how I feel when eat (good or bad)...

Thanks Again!

Thank you so much. I appreciated all the thoughts and prayers that everyone put out there for the success of our Lost event!

Re: Season 9 Finale Thoughts

Cliff Ravenscraft — Sat, 05 Jun 2010 23:21:15 -0000

MT, I stand corrected. Unfortunately I didn't have any notes to go off of. Fr. Roderick is the one who usually takes the notes for regarding these sort of details.

Time will only tell who is able to keep the weight off or not. Most everyone made some amazing progress and I pray they will all be able to keep off the weight and continue toward a healthy weight for their bodies.

Glad to hear your lost party went well too! I was rooting for you!

Re: Season 9 Finale Thoughts

MT — Fri, 04 Jun 2010 10:31:47 -0000

Just a correction to a major point you made in your podcast: if Koli was voted in to be in the final 3, he WOULD have won. It kind of bothers me when people who do a podcast about a television show don't get the facts right. Koli had a percentage of weight loss of 53.35, and Michael only 50.19%. You said that Michael lost almost half his body weight, but in fact he lost more, and Koli's overall percentage was higher than Michael's. I still hate that Koli even won the at-home prize. His attitude was terrible and I can guarantee he won't keep the weight off because even he said his only focus was winning....and he knew he would win if he was voted in, and seemed way too ticked off to "only" win the at-home prize.

Beth, Thanks so much for the comment. Glad you enjoyed the interview. We are always open to having more contestants come onto the show. What is Tara's Twitter ID?

Re: Season 9 Finale Thoughts

Cliff Ravenscraft — Thu, 03 Jun 2010 13:09:05 -0000

Becky,

Thanks so much for the feedback. I hope that Fr. Roderick and I can work out something to do with the show during the hiatus. Stay tuned for more details. ;)

Beth Knizer — Tue, 01 Jun 2010 15:29:50 -0000

Loved this interview with Ali. I will have to listen to it again as I probably missed some of her insight first go 'round. I hope more former contestants can provide interviews for the podcast. Tara is very active on both Twitter and Facebook. Thanks Cliff and Fr. Roderick!
