Some weeks, you can see it coming... You know what is going to be the outcome before it happens. THIS week was NOT one of those weeks! I honestly figured it was going to be Joelle going home! And, when it came down to it, the two below the yellow line were Joelle (silver team) and Damien (red team). Joelle had been asked point blank "do you want to be here in the house?" and she stalled and couldn't answer. The answer was obviously NO. She did not want to be there and this last two weeks made that clear. Damien very clearly wants to be there and has been working hard to bring his partner/fiance back after next week. But, when they went to vote, some of them still voted for Damien. It was a tie. And, as he had the lowest weight loss percentage for the week, he got the boot. In their clips of him and his fiance and how they are doing so far, he and she both looked great! They were having their engagement announcement pics taken and they looked healthy and very happy. I bet they make one heck of a showing at the finale!

New Season of The Biggest Loser
Tuesday night, NBC aired the first show of the newest season of The Biggest Loser. This year's format is a bit different. They started out as couples--husband/wife, brothers, friends, etc. But, not only did they vote a couple off this week, but they also sent home half of all the other teams. Each team sent a member home and if the member who remained on campus is still there after 30 days, then that home-bound member gets to return. So, the folks who remained on campus are working their butts off (literally) in order to bring their partner back... Could be interesting!
I also read that one member of the brown team had RNY surgery but gained all his weight back.

Danged Food Shows...Jonesing!
First, let me comment that preop I never (as in EVER) watched the Food Network or even the occasional food/cooking show. I'm a good cook and am pretty creative in the kitchen all on my own...no help necessary! Heck, I weighed 410 pounds. You can get that way from Little Debbie and such, but I preferred real food!
Now, like SO many WLS postops, I now tune in to the Food Network and such for my doses of FP (food porn). My preferred shows would be Rachel Ray (30 minute meals) and that Giada chick (Everyday Italian). I avoid Paula Deen and her fatty concoctions even with the malabsorption of RNY... I don't watch these shows often, but when there is nothing else on TV, I'll click over to the Food Network and see what's up. Over the weekend, I was laid up with some severe knee pain. And, as will usually happen when you can't get outside and DO something, there was nothing on TV. SO, I ended up doing the food shows... One I happened across was called Phantom Gourmet and it was all about bakeries! What former fat chick wouldn't get into a show about baked goodies??? Sugary concoctions that we no longer eat but can still fantasize about.... LOL At one point in the show, they highlighted a bakery that does only brownies... Simply Divine Brownies has a wide variety of brownies all made with love for the brownie efficianado... And one brownie he highlighted set me to Jonesing for brownies! Now normally I would not care for a brownie that combined so many different tastes/flavors as for me it would have been all about the gooey, fudgey chocolateness of the brownie itself. But, for whatever reason, I cannot get this danged brownie out of my head!
They call it "Love Affair..." It is a chocolate peanut butter brownie with pieces of peanut butter cups in and on top of it. It has peanut butter cream cheese frosting and it looks so danged yummy that you just want to lick the screen! As I said already, normally the combo of chocolate, peanut butter, cream cheese, etc would not do it for me, but for some reason now, I can not get it out of my head. I keep thinking about how I could make peanut butter cream cheese frosting into something healthy! LOL Look at that picture and tell me how it could be healthy! LOL Scrumptious, YES! Mouth-watering, YES! Healthy? Well, no, not really. Would I try it if I had one handy? You bet your butt! Would it make me sick? I pray yes! But who really knows...fudge didn't back at Christmas. Barbecue sauce does it to me every time though. Figure THAT one out! LOL If I figure out some way to conquer this peanut butter cream cheese thing, I'll let you all know! LOL Maybe a peanut butter cream cheese dip for fruit? Something tells me it just won't be the same! LOL
