Trainers who have fallen victim to a total team wipe-out before the finale[edit]

I think that this should also be included under the records section of this article:

Trainers who have had their entire teams eliminated before the final weigh-in[edit]

  • Kim Lyons (season 4, week 12 of 14) (first trainer to have her entire team eliminated before the finale)
  • Bob Harper (season 4, week 14 of 14)
  • Brett Hoebel (season 11, week 14 of 20)
  • Cara Castronuova (season 11, week 19 of 20)

stats mess[edit]

Second places, third places and at-home winners should not be listed. Also the records should be trimmed. It's all original research. -Koppapa (talk) 21:25, 28 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Original Research, Citation Needed[edit]

All of this text seems very original research: "This is true even though that weight-loss rate originates from an examination of the database from the National Weight Control Registry, where members have lost a minimum of 30 pounds and maintained that weight loss for a minimum of a year. So while researchers did find a correlation between that rate, on average, with members of the Registry, all this correlation can mean—if there is any causal correlation at all (there is no control group) -- is that it is more likely, on average, for someone to be successful at losing a large amount of weight, and more successful at maintaining that weight loss. There is no way of stating whether this rate is more healthy than any other rate, simply because (a) there is no comparison with any other rate, and not even any comparison between disease or mortality rates of members of this Registry and any other random group." 19:23, 24 September 2017 (UTC)

The link given before this section (about 1 to 2 pounds per week being recommended) is dead, and also that recommendation does not apply to morbidly obese people, it is for people currently eating 2 to 3 thousands calories per day who want to drop 500-1000 off their diet. obese people are eating 6 or 7 thousand calories per day, and can afford to cut that down to a fraction and still get enough of the nutrients that they need to be healthy. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 4.30.114.107 (talk) 22:41, 28 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

It's also an extraordinarily poorly written paragraph. I'm still not entirely sure what it's trying to communicate. 2A00:23C8:4DAB:8001:A961:48CA:2C72:3A40 (talk) 22:49, 5 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
