What reality shows pay you to lose weight/get a makeover??

Recommended Posts

Biggest Loser...do they still have 'The Swan'? Extreme Makeovers?

Quick quick!! I need info! :))

Any other ideas? Do you know any health clubs that do this? Other programs? I'm broke and I'm out of shape and I need plastic surgery! How do I get all that done for free?? :)

You have to be away from home AND all mirrors for months. Of all the makeover shows, that's the one I could NOT go on. And I don't even think the girls look that pretty afterwards . . . just . . . fake. [:/]



Oh not good...I can't leave my kids that long. POOP! I need to find something that will give me, like, a personal trainer locally and then do the plastic surgery after I get small again!

Think...think...think...

HEY! If anyone comes up with an idea that works, I'll buy you a case of beer and a couple o' jump tickets!!! :)

I sometimes buy stuff from Jennie-O, and they are currently having a "Lifestyle Challenge" contest that you might be interested in:

It says to enter a code from one of their products, but I can send that to you if you don't have any of their stuff and you want to enter.



Ohhh...I'll take a look after class today! :)

That statement is an oxymoron. I am unhealthy.



Yes, but plastic surgery won't make you healthier.

A free personal trainer might, though!

Walk, run, ride a bike, swim, change your eating habits and most importantly, work on your self-image so that you will realize that you don't really need plastic surgery. :)

Just in response to the population in general here:

Yeah, I do need plastic surgery. It is not only a vanity thing, it is necessary...however insurance will not cover it. -No further explanation forthcoming.

BUT I need to get into shape first! So I need a good personal trainer and some awesome pills!! B|

Pills pills pills!!! I love pills! Here they go down...down to my belly...:)

I don't now your situation, but "quality of life" is not the equivalent of a medical necessity. If, however, you have a medical condition that can be treated by a medical procedure, your insurance company has to have a very good reason to decline payment, especially if it is to a preferred doctor within your program. Your Doc may be in a better position to pressure the insurance company than you are.

Note I said that it is a necessity, I did not explicitly say 'medical necessity'. Quality of life is very valuable. You are correct in saying that insurance will not pay for something it does not deem medically required to function in daily life. I'm not upset that insurance will not help out; I'm just bummed that I'm too broke to afford things myself. [:/]
