I have seen a few of them from previous shows in the later finale shows (in the audience), but only a few, and I've only seen the guys except for the gal who married one of the other contestants (I don't remember their names right now, they're that cute couple that met on the show, they seemed really happy). I think it would also be hard if you did go on the show and ended up regaining....at least for me, I would feel a ton of pressure. BUT, if you solve those issues that caused you to gain the weight in the first place, as well as make lifestyle changes, then you wouldn't risk regaining the weight. That's the problem I see with only using diet and exercise and not looking at whatever the cause is for your overweight. That must be healed if you want to keep the weight off. ;) Hi coventina,

But it does seem that once the pressure is gone, so is the motivation. I don't even know how long the show has been on. Do most people maintain their weight for 2 years afterward? And if they do, do they keep putting them on the show? It would be interesting to see what happens with them after they are no longer in the spotlight and are just living normal lives.
