If you’re a longtime “Survivor” fan who frequently finds yourself reminiscing about the older seasons, you’re not alone. Now even host Jeff Probst is getting nostalgic. During the November 30 episode of “Survivor 43,” the Top 7 castaways competed in a classic immunity challenge in which they each had to hold their breath under a steel grate in the ocean as the high tide rolled in. Midway through the competition, Probst lamented, “That water is rising. Immunity on the line. This is old school ‘Survivor,’ back when we inflicted a little more pain. Nice to revisit some of our old haunts.”

Shortly after moving to Phoenix, Arizona for a job – and going through a breakup – Katie Gallagher “decided there was no time like the present” to lose the 40 lbs. she had wanted to drop since college.
Gallagher, now 26, began a 10-month journey to shed the weight (she started at 180 lbs. and reached her goal of 140 lbs. in July 2016) that was caused by a diet “full of burgers, pizza, pasta, burritos, chips, soda, alcohol, and bagels,” Gallagher tells People. “Portion sizes didn’t matter to me and neither did calories. I more or less buried my head in the sand when it came to nutrition.
