Biggest Loser Finale Challenge- 15 Pounds!!

Starting weight: 148
Goal weight: 130
This week's weigh-in: 138.8 (-9.2 overall)

where is everyone? I feel so abandoned!! Hey Marly, gonna take a look at that article!

Today's weight: 139.2 (-8.8 overall)

Today I weighed in at 175.2. I am so excited! I havent been this weight in atleast 15 years! So I've lost 6.6 pounds since I started this challenge. I am not sure if I am going to be able to make it to 165 before finale because I was sidelined for a few weeks with another knee injury. But I am going to do the best I can. The old me would have given up, but I know I am much better than that now.

I consider myself to be like Kaylee and my husband to be like Moses. So that is the team that I have been rooting for. I can't wait to see how great everyone looks at the finale. I'm still not quite sure when the finale is or how many days actually go by from the last taped episode to the day of the live finale.

Every year, I would see the women start out bigger than me and end up smaller than me (i.e. Heba) and it drove me crazy. So this is finally going to be the year where I am as small as some of the larger contestants. Granted it feels like it took me forever to get there, I know I will keep the weight off because I did it slowly. I have adapted to this change and its not something that was given to me at the ranch and then I have learn how to go home and eat properly and find time to workout and balance my family life.

Well, that's my say. I wish this thread had gotten more exposure, I think it's a great opportunity to see how strong we really are.

I don't really think Kaylee or Moses will when. I actually think that Courtney does have the best chance of winning. She already lost 100 pounds prior to BL so she knows how to do it at home. I can't wait until the finale to see how they look. I know a few contestants like Helen mentioned getting surgery to tighten up loose skin. I think the skin is extra loose because of how fast they lost it. Every season, I say that I'm not going to watch it because I think it exploits morbidly obese people, but every season, I get hooked on watching it again.

I am taking it easy on the knee, thanks for asking Marly. I am learning to choose my battles wisely when it comes to my workouts. I keep it light most of the week, so I can go to zumba and kickboxing in the middle of the week and then I keep it light the remainder of the week.

Well.... like the famous movie title, I guess its just "Marly & Me" :laugh:

Sorry, apparently I can't do basic math this morning. That's a loss of 11.6, out of my goal of 18.

This week, moving has given me a stellar workout for my shoulders / arms. Woohoo!

I know we're considerably into the season - but can I join you guys? I get so much inspiration from the show!

My current weight is 271... I think I can lose 15 lbs before the finale... especially since I'm just "restarting" and will be spending a lot of time walking a new foster dog in the coming weeks.

Hope you'll let me join you all!

Oh... and my inspiration is Arthur... I miss him!

Thanks for letting me join! Just got done watching tonight and I'm proud to say that I worked out while watching the first hour. I can't wait for next week... I really do love this show!!!

Thanks for the info Marly. Its further away than I thought. I am more driven to do this. Wow, that Marci is a knockout And Ali looked stunning in that red dress last night. We are going to look just as fab at the finale. I think we should wear a nice outfit and take a picture and post it during the week of the finale.

My guess is Arthur...
