Age is No Excuse












Tonight, the Biggest Loser Winners proved that Age is Not an excuse anymore. The two winners were a 64 year old Grandfather and a 48 year old mom. First time two older contestants beat all the young contestants. The 64 year old lost 47.97% of his body weight and the 48 year old lost an amazing 54.47% of her body weight. It was astonishing to see the transformation. Helen started at 257 and now weighs 117 lbs. So much for old age = no metabolism. It inspired me to Treadmill tonight. I'm really going to miss that show. It was my real motivation to exercise. Now what? Bathing suit weather? Yep, that will do it!

I might add also the Jillian, yes our Jillian, was the trainer for ALL three finalists this season. I do feel a little sorry for Bob but Jillian has proved to be the more successful trainer. What is this, like 5 Biggest Loser Winners trained by Jillian!


Eating was good today. I'm shooting for 2 lb loss this week. So far so good.
I'm really going back to the basics. No late night snacking, keeping a journal, counting calories, portion control and exercise. I'm reading some of our older blogs from January and February - dang we were so inspiring and knowledgeable.

Weather forecast for Saturday:
I'm still reading 20% chance of precipitation, 88 degrees high and 63 degrees low temperatures. That means an 80% chance that it won't rain. Think positive.
