Over the last two years, however, there's been an unseasonable bump in mid-September, a surge of interest online that coincides with the launch of the new fall TV line-up - including the premiere of NBC's hit reality show, The Biggest Loser, which pits teams of overweight contestants against each other to see who can lose the most weight...
