January
loser night.
It was a Biggest Loser night for me. It started with the premiere of Season 9. I was very excited to find that this season, one team is from my hometown area… Knoxville, TN! It goes without saying that I will be rooting for the PINK team this season. Ashley Johnston and her mother are contestants this year. Ashley’s first weigh-in after the initial weigh-in put her in just about 20 lbs heavier than I am right now. I can relate a lot to her. One of my pet peeves has always been people saying they don’t think they can do it at home, so I’ve challenged myself to match Ashley’s weight loss next week. I know that seems crazy since she lost 21 lbs this week, but it’s Week Two so the numbers will be lower, even though last season they kicked week two’s butt. So here’s a picture of my weight today. I’m a little embarrassed to post it since I’ve ended up gaining some weight back. But here’s the picture with my weight.
Please excuse my fat toes. :)
Following the Biggest Loser, I watched Jillian on Jay Leno. I finally found out what she actually weighed when she was a self-proclaimed “fat kid”. She was 175 lbs, but she was 5’1”, so it definitely was considered to be obese. We also share the same weakness… Cheetos. Bob is definitely my favorite, but I think Jillian is starting to grow on me.
To cap off my Loser night, I watched the local news where they did a story on Knoxville’s pink team. They showed footage of a local restaurant where their family and friends gathered to watch the premiere. They did an interview with Ashley’s sister. I was so excited to see World’s Fair Park and the Sun’s Sphere on the show tonight when the girls weighed in. Go pink team!
All in all, I’m excited about this season. There have already been records broken on the first episode. What about that guy losing 37 lbs? That’s more than my four-year-old nephew even weighs. Good luck, Season 9!!!
