Add Flavor to Avoid Fried -- Curtis showed David how to impart fantastic flavor into his foods without deep-frying. Cilantro, coriander, and a whole host of spices rocked out a pounded chicken breast grilled on the Biggest Loser Grill and Panini Maker. Expand your spice collection and seek out recipes to sprinkle them on your lean proteins and low-fat glazes/sauces. Curtis prepared these under-300-calorie Rosemary Skewered Chicken Kabobs with Orange Glaze that looked out of this world.

Anything Is Possible With Commitment -- NFL Star Kurt Warner explained how he fought past the naysayers during his arena football career and finally landed in the NFL to become a two-time NFL MVP. Biggest Loser screams this message every week, showing millions of viewers morbid obesity can be overcome. Low-under-the-radar Helen won a football shuttle elimination game for immunity, guaranteeing her daughter Shannon's return to the ranch. I like Helen. She's slimming down and reports she's finding her self-esteem all over again.

And Jillian's Next Puke Victim Is ... -- Luckily I don't get nauseous when I see others losing their lunch, so these scenes are amusing. Jillian relentlessly pushed Dan to break through a barrier this week to complete a five-minute run on the treadmill. He never thought it was possible to not be fat, and Sergeant Jillian has taught him otherwise, in between a heave or two, of course.

Don't Miss Trainer Gems

• Bob shared Fiber One cereal is a great way to start your day. With 14 grams of fiber per half cup -- that's half of your daily fiber requirement -- and a little milk, you're out only 100 calories. In that case, I'd pour one full cup. I'm not much into these BL product placements, but this is one cereal I plan on buying, after I eat that new box of Grape-Nuts at half the fiber (it was on sale).
  
• Is Your New Year's Resolution Over? Jillian shared it's likely you were pressuring yourself to make big changes. Try focusing on small steps, like putting a stop on needless snacking after 3:00 pm. Pop some sugar-free gum instead. This philosophy works well for me. Tiny changes energize and broaden my diet and fitness goals.

Contestants had a moment of pure joy as their better half returned to the ranch before the weigh-in. Joelle's had a major turnaround in attitude and effort, which resulted in a 10 pound loss. Brown's Mike and Ron and Orange's Dan and David dropped below the yellow line this week, a real shame considering Mike and Dan are the youngest contestants on the show. In a close vote, Dan and lackluster David were sent packing, but I don't feel bad anymore after witnessing their amazing transformations since the ranch. Dan has lost over 100 pounds, is off his type 2 diabetes oral meds and looks like a different guy. David is shedding, too. Don't you love it? See you next week.
