From the Ivory Tower it is easy to criticize

I like the reality show The Biggest Loser becuse of it's focus on exercise and eating right. I get that the contestants are put in a better position to succeed than most people. However, the contestants are there because they have major issues with obesity and they need help. Sitting in an office somewhere, it is easy to take shots at the show as being unrealistic and over promising. These critics whom make their thoughts known in the attached article are really misisng the whole point of the show and really need to engage their left brains a liitle bit more. The show is about motivation, hard work, discipline and yes, forbid the word, results. My left brain says, keep going Biggest Loser, keep motivating thousands of people to lose weight and to make progress.
