The Biggest Loser

As you know, I’m a self-confessed addict of The Biggest Loser. I never make it through an episode without crying, laughing out loud, and feasting on high levels of inspiration and motivation. Well last Tuesday, the 9th season came to an end, and the winner was crowned and awarded $250 000. Although the money is a fantastic prize, the contestants have all been awarded the most prestigeous gift... Life. Before this show, the contestants are morbidly obese and on the fast-train to many health complications. At the beginning of the show, Michael weighed 526 pounds (the heaviest contestant ever) and spent his days wasting away. His journey on the Biggest Loser was a struggle, but at the finale he weighed in at 262lbs (50.19% weight loss)! I couldn't believe the amazing transformation!

This show, for me, is something that I can relate to. All my life I have been struggling with my weight, and the people on this show have become a source of inspiration for me. It's crazy to think that these people, who I know nothing about, can really latch onto my heart strings and make me see a different spectrum to things. From their lacking love-lives to their weight patterns, I've seen and lived it too. My weight loss journey has been slowly turning into a plateau, and I am finding it hard to juggle work (32 hours), school and working out (while having a social life)all at once. I've promised myself that I am going to pick up the pace, renew my gym membership and start walking/jogging on a more frequent basis. I have been meaning to get up early and do some exercise before starting my day but I have been trading sleep for exercise, and this upsets me. I'm doing this for myself and no one else, so why slack off? I have to start putting in more effort if I want to see greater results... and I promise, it's gonna happen.

Here's a goal for myself:
Start your vacation (June 27) off to a good start by being at least 15 pounds lighter than you are now. If you succeed, buy yourself a cute summery outfit.
