Compared to a lot of people I'm heavy, but I'm well within the average weight range for my height. There aren't many people my height on the show, not that I've ever watched it really, so it's only normal that they'd weigh less than I do.

I'm about 5 feet tall, and there have been quite a few ladies (generally) that are only an inch or two away from me. I'm at a normal weight, but it's a bit disheartening to see someone morbidly obese and change their life and end up smaller than me. Of course, good for them, but still.

think of all the loose skin they'll have and you'll feel better.

True.. But the people then have the challenge of maintaining their weight after the show is over.. Which is probably a huge challenge itself. But I do understand where you're coming from! :)

Yeah, a lot of winners have managed to gain it all back. The first person i think of is season 3's winner Eric, who gained back nearly 200 pounds in like a year.

Even some of the people who were on the show that maintain their weight end up gaining at least ten pounds back, and you can tell when they bring past contestants back on the show.

It's ridiculous! I know its hard..but youd think that they would want to keep a maintained because they felt so good about themselves during the show!
