The BIGGEST inspiration in my life is my brother and sister. They have worked so hard and have done so well in their battle to lose weight. Together they have lost over 200 lbs. in six months! I am so proud of them and I am going to make them proud of me!

TOP 5 REASONS I AM GOING TO BE MEMPHIS' BIGGEST LOSER!

Top 5 Reasons I will be Memphis’ Biggest Loser

5. To fit into an airline/theatre/bus/whatever seat without spilling over and without having to see “that look” from the person who has to sit beside you.

4. To not worry about being decapitated in my car with my seat belts on if I should be in an Accident.

3. To have a bra fit comfortably and to be able to buy underwear at Victoria’s Secret rather than at “Tubby the Underwear Guy”.

2. To be able to use toilet paper as it was meant to be used and not to have to invent ways to “get the job done”.

2 1/2. To not have to watch TV news reports on fat people in hopes that I haven’t been caught on camera!

1. Because with all the hard work, dedication, and the amount of weight I will have lost I will deserve to be Memphis’ Biggest Loser!

Thursday Feb.21......Day 2......"Making Contact"

Well I have received 2 emails today from Kennedy. One of the emails was a phone list of all 20 competitors. It had us broke down into the two teams. I also received a phone call from one of my teammates to let me know that she is there if I need anything! She and I have very similar personalities, so it was very nice talking to her. The other email from Kennedy was to let me know when to meet the trainers. I am so ready for this. I was telling my husband that having a personal trainer is going to be rewarding and challenging all at the same time. I know that they are going to push us far beyond any limits we have ever seen and I am ready for that. If I fall off the treadmill because I can no longer feel my feet I am going to jump up and get right back on. I will not quit! I am determined to make this!
