_The Biggest Loser No-No

The NBC show “The Biggest Loser” has a huge following.  They are truly on a mission to help people lose weight and get their life back.  I marvel at the stories and struggles these people go through and am happy that most of them are on the right path to success.

I feel bad for anyone that struggles through life for one reason or another.  Life is too short and fun to not go through it on a high note.

With that said…I think the show is doing a disservice to the contestants by allowing the males to take off their shirt upon weigh in.  If you are not aware of what I am talking about, basically it is this.  Each week a contestant (male or female) must try to loose some weight via diet and exercise.  At the end of the week everyone “weigh’s in” on a scale.  What happens after that is irrelevant but every man that goes up there feels the need to take off their shirt.

Before you jump on me, I don’t think ANY man should take off his shirt in public.  I feel that it is just wrong.  Now your talking about a 300-400 pound man doing it.  I will save you the details but in some instances it is the same as a topless woman.

Please NBC…keep up the good work but stop the humiliation of these contestants.
