The last 10 pounds bootcamp
Posted by Posted in Exercise, Motivation Posted on 12-12-2007
My new favorite weight loss related show is the Last 10 pounds bootcamp on Slice TV.
It’s a Canadian show based out of Vancouver. The program is geared towards women and its goal is to help them get rid of that last 10 pounds and into a new thinner outfit.
Here is an excerpt from their site www.theeyes.ca/tenpounds
“The Last 10 Pounds Bootcamp propels women through an intense fitness and nutrition regimen that dramatically resizes
them in record time. Motivated by a special event (an upcoming wedding, anniversary, vacation, or reunion) participants strive to
transform themselves physically and mentally in just four weeks. Their mission: to lose weight. Their target: to fit into a sexy
new outfit.”
It’s hosted by professional CFL football player Tommy Europe as the personal trainer. Tommy puts these ladies through some very tough workouts. He doesn’t hold back and doesn’t let them quit. Check out his personal trainer site at www.13hitz.net
His co-host is former CFL cheerleader and certified trainer Nadeen Boman. She is the nutritional expert. Nadeen basically cleans out all of the participants cupboards, fridges and freezers, since no one has any healthy food at home. Then arms them with the proper healthy foods they need to achieve their goal. You can contact her through her own site at www.firmbodyfitness.com
Why do I like it so much?
Because the methods they use get results. Most women end up losing more than the 10 pounds and are in noticeably better shape. The workouts are intense and the food is healthy and nutritious. Also, I have yet to see any over hyped product placements (ala Biggest Loser) which I really respect.
Each episode is loaded with great tips and facts on various foods and exercises. They’re all very practical and easily incorporated into your current workout/nutrition plan.
Now I only have 2 problems with this show:
1. – I’d like to see more targeting for the males that have that last 10 pounds to lose.
2. – Exposure. This is a great show that is not only entertaining, but very motivational and informative. It can be seen on Slice TV in Canada but that’s it.
I would like to see more web coverage too, maybe an online fitness and nutritional program. I’d really like to see a bootcamp style workout DVD that people can use at home. (i.e me)
You can watch the full episodes via streaming videos at Slice.ca.
Anyway check them out and let me know what you think.
That sounds like a great show. I will have to check out the web links. I am excited to see the new B.L. show will be for couples! I think that will be a great season of drama (and advertisement-placement).

I can’t wait for the next season either, should be very interesting.
Did you know that there is a Biggest Loser Australia? I’m watching the reruns now. It must be a couple of seasons old since Bob and Jillian are on it.
The last 10 pounds bootcamp really is a good show. The streaming video can take a while to load. Luckily I can just watch them on TV.

it seems like they would try to bring to the states since we are the fattest nation in the world so to speak and plus they would get a lot of money from advertising. Men also want to loose weight too not just women
[Reply]
Hey Mike,
I hope they do bring the show to the states. It is a big market for them, hopefully they can workout a deal to broadcast the first few seasons on some smaller local stations and expand from there.
I still do wish they would target a few more men on the show but women seem to be working for them. Plus I think Tommy likes making them sweat.

Love 10 pounds boot camp, great show. Good motivation. Another good show is X weighted, especially for those of us who have more than 10 pounds to lose.

I was actually just a contestant on the show for the upcoming season – and it was a wonderful and satisfying experience!
Look for me next year sometime, and good luck to everyone who has their own struggles with their weight!

I hope you reached your goal for the show

This is a great show and I try to catch it whenever I can. I was wondering if you can tell me where I can find the meal plans they give to the people on the show? They look promising but I don’t have time to watch every episode!

This show IS on in the US now, on FineLiving network. It is a GREAT show, I wish I didn’t live so far away, I would love to have them kick me into shape!

I’ve seen the show and wish they would bring it to Toronto. I came across this site when I was searching for meal plans from the show, so thank you for posting this. Has anyone ever tried purchasing one of the meal plans from Nadeen’s site? Thanks!

WOW you do not need to loose weight!!!! like k i understand you want to but you seriously don’t have to loose any and if any no more than 10 lbs if more you wont look as good!
you know you can still eat a healthier diet and workout more and get more fit……and naturally loose weight but you shouldnt go on extreme diets to loose weight cuz your fine
[Reply]
OMG love the show, I’m always watching and taking notes, I wish he had a website

I lost 9 pounds in 2 weeks on Nadeans Bulge Buster meal plan! Then for about the last 2 months I have been losing 1 pound average a week just by modifying my eating to include more vegges, fruit and lean meats.
The meal plan from the show is almost $300 and I really want to get it but am hoping for my BF to get the hints and make it my Bday gift!
