I am really looking forward to seeing Jenni progress at the finally. Taking the same energy towards wanting to stay on the show to fitness and nutrition and she will do great.

Hi , A fitness trainer can assist you by discussing what you want to achieve from your efforts. Some people want to loose weight, some want to gain and some others want to build their muscles. There are specific exercise programs only a Fitness Trainer can give you correct training.

This will be long - because I was troubled tonight by the show and out of this may comes some advice and some insight for Jenni and Lynn that will be able to help. (note it was because I rewatched the show with my family a second time - that I could see what happened very differently.

Jenni be more positive towards your dad and that will go along way towards both of you succeeding. Jenni expect good results. I would recommend to you watch and rewatch the show tonight - and look at how subtle your expectations of failure were there. (I am the same way - and it is a self-fufilling prophecy>) Emphasize the positive - erase all thoughts of expected lack of success. (remember we get what we expect.) It is a mindset -- recognize that you have power over your own life.

It was as if you were so worried about his performance that unconsciously you may have signaled to him and to others you didn't expect him to make it. And you did this out of great love for him.
That may have cost you -- you allowed the other team to define that only one of you wanted to be there in sharp contrast to what the truth was. (They subtlely manipulated the result that only you wanted to remain in that one hour and you unfortunately were the ones voted off.)
The first time I watched - I too believed he wasn't trying and actually would have voted as the majority.
The second time I watched, knowing the result I actually realized that his interest in succeeding was no different then all of the others there. You just know him more and it appeared that you believed your success depended on him, and you unfortunately signaled to everyone that your Dad didn't want to be there. It really was time to fly under the radar. (remember from past seasons, when someone even subtlely suggested that they really miss his/her family...it became a reason for elimination when all else was equal. ) Rewatch the show again, and perhaps you too will change youre mind about your dad's efforts. From shows past - all of the castmembers have ambivlance. - that is the struggle for change. If we all embraced change without resistance - change would already have occurred.

I actually was so influenced by your vision of his participation and your desire for him to do well, that I thought he didn't care to be there. Second time around - I saw a very proud man, who had a hard time admitting he wanted it to work. Your dad clearly listened to what the goals were. You both were on the same page. You got stuck when you thought that there was only one way to reach the goal.

I wish that you had been a little more under the radar about your dad and I think everyone knew from how badly you wanted him to be involved that you may inadvertantly publicized that your dad wasn't interested.
But the second time through - I saw his interest and participation differently. He was right there with you for the goals. Okay - he wasn't doing the cardio at 11:38pm.. and he did complain about his blisters, but he was up at 6am, with no one else there doing the workout. And he was there with that balloon not coming in last place. . For a 60 year old team -- he really deserved credit, he really was trying. So my advice would be Don't sweat the small stuff.. (the plan)... just work on the big stuff - the goals, and trust that you both can get there - as long as the love continues...

(Note - second time around - I now realize that the wrong team got voted off this week and you really should have stayed. )

In many ways Jillian is correct about having couples at Biggest Loser -- the dynamics of enabling are so well unconsciously buried that it makes it difficult to undo.
Therefore, take the time to realize he is making changes, and that his strategies didn't reflect on you be more supportive and positive. You are right your support group are your friends. But praise your dad for all of the changes he has made. when he says he will be 250 pounds - embrace that - not negate it... make it easier for him to believe in himself. erase an contrary thoughts or vocalization. and you will find that your dad will live up to his own expectation and maybe extend his living up his own life well beyond his 60 years. Hence at the finale-- you should expect that pink (green?) bikini and he will reach his 250pound goals.

It was "funny" my daughter and I were watching the show and I thought how cool to have a dad that cared enough to go onto National TV with his daughter, and when we saw him sleeping in the beginning we looked at each other and said thats PaPa (my dad). I know you really wanted to stay and he seemed to be a little more distracted than you, but you should have never brow beat him like you did in front of the cameras. I felt sorry for him b/c it was as if you had just blew off him and his concerns b/c he "didn't want to be there". I understand it's a game and the money at the end would be great but you really portrayed yourself poorly in the way you treated your dad.

I was so angry at Lynn for being critical of Jenni, saying,"you lost the least amount of anyone here...only 7 pounds." Seven pounds is a lot of weight. And if he didn't really want to go on the show, he should have stayed at home and let someone else go. There are many people who want to be there. Keep up the good work, girl.

lynn and jenni~
i think that you guys did a great job participating in the challenges...i think that it could have been better when it came to the weigh in. im sure that you jenni werent able to think or concentrate as much as you would have liked to because you were thinking of the needs of your father. in my opinion i think that 7 pounds is GREAT you know i believe that it was the first week and you really arent suppose to loose 20-25 pounds on the first week! anyways this is getting long..so i hope you continue to loose that weight and at the end of this you will be in that bikini...also lynn continue..dont give up!!!

I'm a little bothered by the people "picking" on Jenni about her dad's behavior. First of all.. You have to know what you're getting into when you go on this show. It is 6-8 hrs of working out, eating right, ect. It's not a vacation!! You are there for a reason..Jenni.. I think you did great with your 7 lb. weight loss. Lynn lost 19 because he was so overweight to begin with.. And it's a proven fact women lose slower than men. Lynn also said people don't realize how hard it is to get on the show.. It just makes me mad when people THINK they want to go on it, then once it gets "tough" or they get sore..they cry to go home.. Jenni..keep up the awesome work..sounds like you're well on your way to succeeding!! Lynn.. I think you need to rewatch the part of the show when the doctors were telling you about the plaque around your heart and take it VERY seriously..And I don't think age is a factor here.. Look at Jerry from the last show!! He never quit!! Good luck..

Lynn and Jenni, Keep up the good work. Continue to be a inspiration to those around you. I look forward to seeing you both in the finale. Good Luck!!!

I was hoping Lynn and Jenni wouldn't get voted off first because I would have liked to see Lynn work with the trainers on the show for a while longer. At 60 years old, he needs to overcome this weight issue NOW before he starts to have other aging issues kick in that would prevent him from aggressive exercise (and perhaps some of those problems were already a problem). I'm 50, and I know how differently I feel compared to when I was in my 20's and 30's.

There was one picture after the last workout where Lynn's head was rested against a window with his eyes half shut. I'll tell you right now, that was the face of pain. I knew then that he was giving it his best.

As it is, I think 19 pounds in a week is still a great accomplishment. It's a great start and he still seems to be moving in a more positive direction than he was before the show. He's probably already added years to his life.

As far as the vote, this is a contest for MONEY. The other teams had two choices and they chose to vote off the stronger of the two. Unless things change a lot, the purple team doesn't appear to be much of a challenge at this point. Whereas Jenni had a lot of determination and if Lynn ever got rolling with his weight loss, look out. The vote would have ended the same even if Lynn was showing enthusiasm to stay.

I wish Lynn and Jenni the best. If I remember correctly, they were from the Cleveland area and I know from personal experience there's a lot of awesome (as in tasty and diet wrecking) food available in that area.

Jenni I'm sorry you got voted off, it's really too bad that your Dad let you down. Do great anyway, you deserve it.

I think you were a little too critical of your dad. I understand that you wanted to win but was it for the right reason? Perhaps if you had been more encouraging than critical you would have stayed longer. Good luck and stick with what you learned.

Jenni-I could see how you may have been disappointed and feeling that your dad let you down, but I think it's pretty disrespectful how you treated him. If he died of a heart attack would you lean over him and say I told you so?? That being said I wish the best for both of you and look forward to seeing you at the end of the show.

Jenni--

This past weekend I was at the gym and saw you working out. I just wanted to tell you that you look fantastic!! Keep up the great work!

As former North Ridgevillians, we're pulling for you.

Jenni and Lynn
This note will be long because of my disappointment with Jenni. I agree 100% with Smith.
I was very disappointed in Jenni for your negative comments about your Dad. You were very critical of him and did not give him the support he needed. Every individual works out better at different times of the day, He did what he could do at his age. I was proud of him for his accomplishments. He is your father, where is your support?? I am a nurse and I know that you have to work with your patients to the point that makes them successful. Not cut them down because they can not keep up with the younger ones. Look at the mother and daughter team. The daughter was so supportive for what her mother did and did not cut down her mother. I am a fellow Elyrian and see your father at the gym. America you should see the support and dedication Lynn has for others. Jenni look at your self and stop being selfish. YOU are the one who contributed to your elimination not your dad. I would never cut my father down as you did. During a family trip to Italy my father was among all of us when we climbed a mountain, he also had blisters the next day. This is painful. We were proud of him for his accomplishment. All 3 of us daughters helped him the next day and did not let him down. Haven't you had blisters from a new pair of shoes? How did you feel the next day? You need to rewatch the show. I think you will be embarassed after you see the show again.I hope you realize that your father needed your support not criticism. He is the only father that you will have. Respect and support him. Rebuild that special father daughter relationship you both should have. Good luck to you both and show America that you do have a strong loving bond.

Hey Jenni you go girl. Personally I think your a hottie and if any guy cant see you beautiful inside and out then hes a fool. Bonus pts for not getting married if you werent sure. Wish Id been that smart when I was younger but live and learn.

Lyn & Jenni - I hope that you both are doing well. I wish you 2 had stayed longer at the campus. Jenni, you're a sweet girl and telling it like it is was okay. I know you support your dad. He jsut had to make the decision to get up and get moving. Lyn, I really hope you have made some healthy changes since going home. Do it for you if no one else. You both deserve it! Looking fwd to the Finale!

Hi Lynn,
I saw you tonight on the show. Yes, the "blind" man who did all the shades in my house in grafton. I have since moved to North Carolina. Way to go Lynn!!! It was great to see someone from home on TV and especially you! Good luck and all the best!

Dear Lynn,
From the beginning of the show you have reminded me of my grandpa – the proud, strong, sweet man who was one of my favorite people in the world. He died when I was young and his weight problems contributed to his poor health for a good chunk of his later years. He said his one wish was to see me graduate high school, although, he wasn't physically present I know he was there in spirit at my high school graduation AND my college graduation! I think it's wonderful that you are taking on a healthier lifestyle now, and thus, adding more years to your life to spend time with the ones you love, and be there for their special moments. It was great to see you on the show tonight, way to go and keep it going!

Jenni,
I am a member at Fitworks and I see how well you workout with your trainer. My question is, Is your trainer taking on new clients?

It's interesting to me that with Lynn's comment re: how hard it is to be a contestant and then he says he really didn't want to be there. Why did you join then?
I'm sure there are a lot of other people who would have loved to have been your daughters team-mate and you he screwed someone else out of the chance to be on the show.
I can't believe the comments to Jenni about how she wasn't positive enough for her dad. What a load of crap. Lynn is the typical older male. Self centered and has an impossible time doing anything for someone else that takes him out of his comfort zone or doing something that will cost him something personally. Jenni was robbed of achieving something great by her own dad.

First of all Kudos to you Lynn!! I saw you at the Fitness Center today and you are such an inspiration!!
To Chris
Jenni herself is responsible for her own weight loss. Rewatch the show . Jenni only lost 7 pounds and 30 at the reunion. She cheated herself out of achieving great weight loss. Her dad is not responsible for her habits. Also how dare you talk about the older population! You will be their soon enough and I hope you do not get treated badly beacuse you are old. Were you not taught to respect your Elders? Making those comments about Lynn is wrong and disrespectful! He did what he could for his age and weight and look what he has accomplished. He lost 67 pounds! That is a great accomplishment. Chris for you to say that Lynn is not inspiring his daughter that's a wrong statement.

Both of you as a team were not a winning team. I hope you check this blog and comment on occasion. I don't remembder your wiegh in at the chance to come back into the house. I don't remember. I think if it was significant I would remember. I hope you both are taking note of how the show is going this season and how teamwork is paying off even with former rivals. I hope that the revisit helped spur on new energy. I don't know if you know this but jack and elain lelane are very fit for thier age. jack was a competetive wieght lifter in the 50s or 60s and he is very healthy still. age doesn't have to be time to give up on life or your family and family needs to support eachother because only they can know the struggles they are facing. Watch the show season 5 catch up on the show. Your lives can change for the better. I was praying that Lynn would not stop jenni's wieght loss efforts. I have been pulling for you both to be in good health and I understand why lynn is concerned for having a trainer present. I do agree that the two of you should have hired a trainer at the beginning of the show. I truely hope that you have lost alot of wieght since the show.

Dear Lynn and Jenni I am looking foward to seeing if yall have met yalls goals!

Jenni:
HELP!
I need to know how to find that beautiful dress you wore on the finale. I have a wedding to go to, and now nothing else will do. I have to have that dress! :)

Jenni-
Hey, I swear I saw you in line at G.E. in Lakewood the other day. You were in line ahead of myself and my three children (8, 2 and 1), I kept looking at you and couldn't place your face-then I realized it was from the show...YOU LOOK AMAZING!!! I leaned over and told my son who you were and he wanted your autograph SOOO bad, but you look so different that I wasn't 100% sure it was you and I didn't want to bother you. I looked at your profile tonight online and I am no sure that it in fact, it was you. I just wanted to let you know that we are huge fans and are so proud of you, keep up the good work and maybe some day we will bump into you again!
