Memphis' BIGGEST Loser

The alarm sounded at 3am. I would normally say, "It's the last day!" But instead I say, "It's the first day of the rest of my life!" No matter what I have won! More than 45.5 lbs. in 51 days! That is amazing. I hit the gym to do sauna time. Pooh Bear Stacey came up there at 4:15am to be with me! How awesome is she for doing that. Then it's time to get ready and head to the station.
From 5:45am until a little after 8am had to be the longest morning of my entire life! When we got there we had to wait for the trainers to get there. As they arrived we were called back one by one to weigh. "OH MY GOD! ARE YOU GUYS SERIOUSLY COVERING UP THE SCALE SO THAT WE CANNOT SEE OUR WEIGHT?" I was so nervous. Not because of the amount lost but of the amount gained. GAINED?!?! Yes I gained 4 lbs. last week. So I worked my fanny off this entire week. I would not be able to handle coming in and hearing that I gained weight. This entire contest I have never been in the bottom and the most important week ever I gain? WTF? NO!!!!!!! So after waiting....waiting....waiting.... T-bone comes to the holding cell to get us. From that point I have amnesia. I don't remember much except:

WHAT? WHAT KARSON? WHAT WAS THAT? DID YOU JUST SAY I AM MEMPHIS' BIGGEST LOSER? HOLY FREAKING COW! ANTIONNE!!!!!!!!!!!!((((((((((BIG HUGS)))))))))))
47.5 lbs. in 51 days! 22% of my body weight gone? WOW!!!
