Biggest Loser Season 8

Hi All,

First of all I would like to apologize for not having blogged about Biggest Loser in so long. I had every intention of doing wonderful posts about Biggest Loser all summer and I couldn’t wait for the new season to start so I could blog about that.

Well, the best laid plans…. :0(

You see, I had all of these plans but God had other ones for me I guess.

This year has been one of the worst years we have had since my Mom died.

2009 started off badly and it has continued to be that way.

As I mentioned before we found our cousin in a pool of blood dead earlier this year. My friend’s sister died 2 days later. Her mother died shortly after that and then her other sister hung herself last month.

We have lost numerous relatives and family friends this year. I lost my job, gained a new one, have had a lot of health issues and the stress has been unbelievable.

I was hoping that I would make enough money online that I wouldn’t have to work outside the home due to my health issues but that has not been the case. I have taken on some part time jobs that have irritated my health issues but I have been thankful to have what money we have had. Though living on less than $10,000 a year is not easy by a long shot.

Ok, anyway. Enough about all of that. I just wanted you to understand why I haven’t been blogging on here like I had planned. It has been a heck of a year.

But, on to the Biggest Loser…

I CANNOT believe tonight’s show. What is up with Tracey???

I am in shock that she thought that 2 pounds was worth not being trained by Bob and Jillian and I do not believe it was fair of her to take it upon herself to choose that and take away the training from her teammate like that.

Then she got control of the game and almost literally threw everyone under the bus.

THEN when we wanted her to go home so bad that we could practically taste it she puts her team in first place putting 2 other teams in the hot seat.

She lied to people and backstabbed and from the previews for next week she doesn’t seem to ‘get it’

Do we have another ‘Vickey’ on our hands here or what? Hmmmm….

I want to applaud Dan for going to bat for Shay and I REALLY must say that I cried like a baby when Antoine and Sean sacrificed themselves for Shay like that.

I had a feeling that they would but I still was amazed that they actually did it. How humbling that even though they wanted to be there they put Shay, and her health, before their own wants

We saw a lot of emotions on the show tonight which is nothing new for Biggest Loser but it sure did bring out the emotions here. Tracey’s behavior has not won her any fans in this home.

Antoine and Sean should be praised for their sacrifice. You two are AMAZING! It was so wonderful to see the results that you both have had at home. WOW! Over 100 pounds each!!!

Shay? We are so glad that you and Dan will be able to stay on Biggest Loser. I know that you have had a hard life but PLEASE Do NOT Give Up!!! You ARE Worth fighting for. You DESERVE to be happy!!! And last but not least…. You CAN Do This!

Many of us have had hard lives. Josh and I have been through Hell and back. A strong person gets back up and brushes them-self off. For all you have been through You ARE a STRONG Person! Don’t give up now. Wonderful things are just ahead for you if you don’t give up.

 

As always, Biggest Loser has made me laugh, it has made me cry, I have rejoiced in the progress being made and I have been angry by the behavior of one contestant who needs to stop playing the ’game’ and realize why she is there- to lose weight and to deal with the issues that got her there in the first place.

Yes Tracey lost 11 pounds this week- I don’t know how. Even Tracy didn’t know how. That kind of weight loss won’t continue and it won’t last until she deals with the issues that got her obese in the first place and why she behaves the way that she does.

Can’t wait till next week to see what will happen next

I will try to be better about blogging about Biggest Loser each week. Just please understand that if I don’t it is because of all the chaos in my life right now. Earning enough money to pay the bills, buy food and to have heat during the upcoming Michigan winter is top priority right now.

Donations or your purchasing any Biggest Loser items you see listed on this blog would be greatly appreciated and would help to take the pressure off.

Hope you all are well?

How are your weight loss goals coming?

Whatever happens don’t give up trying to lose the weight….

You CAN Do It!!!
