Like some of you, I watched "The biggest loser" on TV this past season. (Season 7) I was so moved and so touched by everyone's journey but I didn't do anything to change myself. I have MAJOR motivational problems. I want want want but don't do. Well on June 30th as I was driving home from work I figured I would stop and wash my car. So I pull in and who do I see walking by, Tara and Mike from the biggest loser. Just seeing them for 5 minutes was more inspirational than watching them for 18 weeks. I'm currently 237 and Id like to be somewhere sub-200. I hate feeling embarrassed to take my shirt off. My area gets like 100 degrees with 400%. Perfect for shorts no shirt and working outside.

As of today (July 1) I'm 237 5'-10"
I need to get my ass in the gym
Eat better - cut the pasta, pizza and sweets and add more salads and veggies and fruit.

So heres to the 1st day of the rest of my life!

Hi- I clicked on your link b/c i saw the pic of tara. I loved this season of the biggest loser, actually it was the first one i watched in it's entirety. and still watch re-runs on hulu.com. tara is VERY inspirational and i hope it's not the last we see of her in the fitness field.

good luck on your journey!

P.S. Your friends need to stop smoking!! Hope you don't either it will seriously hold you back from your fitness goals
