I’m still thinking of the episode two of The Biggest Loser Season 8 and how incredible it was.

Last night’s episode of The Biggest Loser Season 8 was all about breaking the “session two curse”.

You see, it’s notorious for Biggest Loser Season 8 participants to see a huge weight drop during the first week only to see weight gain or a plateau during week two. This really plays with your mind and causes you to really doubt yourself and doubt how much work you’ve put into your weight loss.

This weight plateau is often associated to the fact that when you lose so much weight, your body goes into shock and thinks you are starving and start storing calories (instead of burning calories).

Episode two of The Biggest Loser Season 8 in my opinion was all about “mind set”. Going into this week, all 15 participants knew well in advance that the deck was stacked against them.

When Allison presented the challenge:

“You lose 150 lbs as a group and no one goes home or if you don’t reach that goal then we are sending two people home”.

You could read the stress and pressure on everyone’s face! I was even biting my nails.

This second episode required everyone to put their mental fear and mental blockage aside and seriously work at keeping on track to reach their weight loss goal.

The weight loss was staggering and so many of these participants proved that they can really change their lives once they’ve made up their mind to take action.

In my opinion, Julio was the wild card of the night and Julio just killed it when he lost as much weight on his own as others had lost as a team. I was so happy for him.

Since Shay is my favourite for now, I was beaming when I saw her step on the scale and drop an additional 16 pounds!
