**spoiler alert**
I want to discuss Biggest Loser. I've been holding back for weeks (even months) about the goings on of the show. I'm not a big reality TV fan. I've never watched Survivor or Amazing Race or any of those other shows. But I LOVE Biggest Loser! I find it very inspirational and last night was no exception. For years/seasons I've longed for a woman Biggest Loser. Last night didn't look good for the ladies after Roger and Mark weighed in. They pulled HUGE numbers! I was stunned. Then Ali stepped up and did it. She lost BIG! I don't know where that weight even came from. She's one tiny contestant now. Then Kelli...and I thought she'd be up against Roger. But NO! She did it too! How awesome that the two women left were guaranteed spots in the final 3?! So since it comes down to us to vote. I beseech you to vote Roger out. We MUST have a woman Biggest Loser!
And so on to the inspiration....
Last night they showed those journey clips for each contestant and each were duly inspirational. They lost all this weight in 15 weeks. I think, as a fat gal, it takes a fat person (or former fat person) to really understand the enormity (pun not intended) of this feat. These people did something AMAZING through diet and exercise and I want to do that too. I wish I had the trainers to make me work my butt off, but I don't. I know I can't do this sort of thing in 15 weeks, but I have to do something. I know how. I know what. I just need to do it.
And if the producers of Biggest Losers find this blog, I'd be happy to join your next cast!

I found last night super inspiring too. I seriously whooped for joy when Kelly's weight was displayed.
Yes, everyone. VOTE OFF ROGER.
But man, Ali is TEENY. She can't really lose much more than she already has. Neither can Mark, really, so I'm hoping for Kelly to kick some butt.
Webgal-
I know shows like that are inspiring, but they are very unrealistic. It's very hard on your body to lose that fast. Almost harder than keeping the weight on. Plus, I have no idea where the extra skin goes. Because I have extra skin and I have done mine slowly over the past 21 months.
That said, a girl winning is always a good thing. Hope one of them notches one for the sisters!
Oh I know it's unrealistic...after all, several years ago I lost over 50 lbs and was a size 8. I did this all through diet and exercise and it took time.
However, somewhere I lost my motivation (for many reasons) and eventually found my way back (and then some) to my fat. I know what it takes to lose it...but have problems finding that motivation again.
I'm working on it...but in the meantime I enjoy seeing people (or reading about people) who look like me, making positive changes. Hopefully it'll truly reveal my way back to that spark I've lost somewhere.
And I do think losing weight as they have is better than being the lazy, high blood pressured, fat ass that I am today. So I'd take that over continuing this path. :)
