Biggest Loser contestant speaks out

I had always wondered what percentage of them got tummy tucks and so on.  When someone drops 20-30 lbs over 6 months I can see the skin catching up without too much help.  But when you're dropping half your body mass in less than a year, there's no way.

"Little Sami" has lost a bunch of weight- she was heavy for a while, lost it, got preg, lost it, and I thnk she is preg again?  She looks great, haven't seen DOOL for quite some time.

I guess the remaining 20% leaves Matt and Suzie?   80% is a high failure number.  Guess maybe all they really cared about was the money?

That's exactly what I thought.  That's why I was searching online to see if that statistic was accurate.  Of course NBC doesn't post that kind of information, it's bad for ratings.  Ken wasn't bad mouthing the show, he just wanted to point out that losing weight is easy (relatively).  It's the maintenance that's tough.  Matt & Suzie gained some of their weight back but they are certainly not as heavy as they were. 

It seems REALLY high to me.  That means 40 out of 50 people gained their weight back.  (Hence my search this morning.)  I wonder if he just mis-quoted that number.  Of maybe he meant since the first season.  That would make a lot more sense.  But even then 80% is still a lot. 

I remember watching the finale and not everyone had the kind of results the top 10 or 12 did.  There were quite a few of the "play at home" people that were still pretty large.  I suppose the cameras are the primary motivation for many.  So 1 year later when the cameras are long gone, I can see how it would be easy to let the pounds creep back up.

Actually 40/50 were the people who thought 'Daughtry'was a Matchbox 20 rehash cheezo album. The weight regainers were 8/10.
