Wowser – you’re probably all freaking out wondering who the Biggest Loser of the week is!  Apparently I get some sort of twisted joy out of keeping you all in suspense!  Not really, but it’s fun to pretend … but on to what you actually want to know!

Our Biggest Loser of the week, with a 2.45% loss, is Alex J!  Right behind him with a 2.2% loss is Linda C.  You both definitely worked it this week – especially considering Superbowl parties!

Our 1% Hall of Fame this week includes (in no particular order) …  Jason D, Cheryll, Loren G, Amanda K, Rodney W, Mandy P, Jennifer M, Amanda B, Thomas P, Michael C, Sandra C, Kim L, Rebecca B, Jodi B, Sam H and Lisa J!  You guys have been working hard and it shows!  Keep it up!

We’re definitely getting to the tough part of the challenge.  It’s been four weeks, it’s starting to get old, it’s starting to seem like forever, you’re starting to wonder if you’ll ever get to the weight you want to be at … don’t be overwhelmed!  The weight didn’t come on overnight and it won’t go off overnight!  Face it down one pound at a time.  Set yourself small goals that you can accomplish in a week or two – so you have victories all the time!  It helps keep your motivation and morale high!  I lost 176 lbs on Biggest Loser … but I did it five pounds at a time.  Any time I thought about more than that I was overwhelmed, so I just focused on hitting the next five pound milestone.  It was the only way I could keep my focus!
