Kristin, you once again hit the nail on the head. This show is about as UNREAL as Real gets. in life, there is a lot of drama, drama that comes from real experiences such as death from illness, death from accidents, job loss, domestic abuse, natural disasters, etc. Life has a funny way of screwing with a person’s emotional state of being on a regular basis. None of that is seen on the ranch. You do have drama but, not what REAL life brings you. These BS contests don’t teach people how to cope when real life drama happens. Tempatations, BS. Most people gain weight cause they are either bored or they eat out of emotional turmoil. This show needs to focus on how to deal with the real life struggles that we come across, not who has eaten x amount of candy or cupcakes, who is getting the golden ticket that puts decision making in their hands. The producers of this show want to keep their show on the air, they don’t care what it does to the people who sign up. I guarantee that, in spite of all that is taught on the ranch, at least a 1/4 to a 1/2 of the contests wind up gaining all their weight back because they didn’t learn better coping skills. The show needs to focus on the root cause of why people put on weight, not just how to get it off. There is always a root cause of why someone does what they do. It goes much further than teaching you the right nutrition and right amount of exercise. I am so disappointed watching this season, I am totally turned off on watching the show. Its hard to be a fan nowadays.
I wish you and all those that are struggling continued success. Take your journey in life 1 step at a time, and be true to Kristin and Kristin alone. Best wishes and keep up the good work!!

I’ve been watching Season 7 for the first time, and I felt like I just had to write to you because you’re my favorite contestant. You mentioned many times that you were inspired by someone to lose weight, and therefore you’re on the show to inspire others. You’ve probably heard it many times before, but I just wanted to let you know that even though you’re no longer on TV, the things you said and did on that show, your inspiration lives on because this week you’ve truly inspired me. I’ve been the big girl all my life too, and I definitely think it’s time I get out of this “body prison”. I became unemployed 2 months ago and I was really upset everyday. But starting 2 days ago, instead of sitting in front of the TV at home, I’m hitting the gym everyday now. I just wanted to say thank you very much
And I hope you’re doing very well!

Kristin, I am so glad that I just found your blog!! My husband and I loved you on the Biggest Loser….you were so joyful and positive all of the time. I have a quick question. Do any of the contestant on the ranch struggle with deep depression/fatigue/anxiety. I have gone through a lot of pretty hard stuff plus a failed adoption and another difficult (but so worth it) adoption of a little girl in Guatemala. Through all of it….I have gained about 60 pounds. I am really, really struggling with depression which makes it so hard to even get out of bed. I was just wondering if anyone struggled with this type of thing. I really want to conquer this!! I know that this is NOT me!! Hope you are having a great week!
