The Biggest Loser

I am a HUGE fan of the Biggest Loser! I don't smoke, I don't drink (excessively), but this show is my drug of choice. It is so motivating. When I'm on the elliptical and I feel like giving up, I imagine the people on that show. I imagine the 400-500 lb. contestants who hit the BL gym every day. If they can do that, what excuse do I have? These people hit the gym carrying weight I couldn't even imagine, with extensive injuries from carrying around that weight. If they can do it, I sure as hell can! I'm sure each and every one of those contestants had a point in their life where they realized that their weight was beginning to become a problem and they needed to do something about it. Unlike the contestants on that show, I won't ignore that realization.

I truly believe that if becoming "fit" and losing weight is a struggle for you, you need to turn to channel 4, every Tuesday night at 7 pm. That show is amazing! You can see the change in those people from their first week on the ranch. As of now, they have been at the ranch for 10 weeks and the transformations are astonishing! It's amazing what feeling better does your outside appearance. Not only are these people dropping pounds and inches, but they are getting their lives back. You can see the person, underneath, that's always been there and has been waiting to come out. You can see how much they had been prisoners in their own bodies. I'm blessed, I don't have hundreds of pounds to lose, but I do have my insecurities and watching those contestants melt their insecurities away makes it that much easier to get up and go to the gym on Wednesday.
