Week #5 Results

Wow. Five people gained weight this week. Have we all hit the wall or what? In week #1 we lost a collective 83 pounds, in weeks 2 and 3 we lost 42 pounds, last week we lost 21 pounds, and this week we only lost 8 pounds between 21 people. Ouch. I know it’s getting harder and harder to lose those pesky pounds… but come on people! We’re not even halfway there yet!

Let’s all remember how pumped and motivated we were in January to stop being fat asses! Let’s rekindle that “I want to fit in my clothes” desire and stop eating three extra helpings of Tex Mex... Let’s go for a walk instead of watching American Idol on the couch with a bag of cheetos… Let’s eat more apples and broccoli and drink more water for crying out loud! I have a dream… that one day I will like the way my butt looks like in my jeans… I have a dream… that one day my man boobs won’t require an A-cup…I have a dream that one day I’ll be able to see my belt buckle without bending over… I may not get there with you, but I can see the promise land of not having my thighs rub together when I walk. Ahem… sorry, we’re celebrating Black History month at my high school.

But seriously, think how good it’s going to feel in 7 more weeks when you reach your weight loss goal! Tough it out for just a while longer – you can do anything for seven weeks!!! WHO’S WITH ME?

Ok congrats to all of you who were not in need of a pep talk this week! And congratulations to this week’s Biggest Loser - Tony “The Builder” Bailey - who lost another impressive 1.6%, bringing his total percent lost to 9.3%! Way to go, Bailey! George, it appears that you have some competition for first place at 9.9%!! :) Should be an interesting finish. Also, congrats to Tracy “The Hammer” Harris, who made it into the "Greater than Five % Club", at an inspiring 5.4% of total weight loss so far! Woo-hoo!

Have a Happy Valentine's Day (order the salad tonight). I'll leave you with the following inspirational quote. Have a great week you Losers! ~Cmish
