Well we just started shooting Season 8 two days after Helen was crowned The Biggest Loser. Didn't they all look so good that night. It was so much fun and I can't believe it was 3 hours long!!! The training that Jillian and I did in that little gym was fun but it was so sad that both girls didn't get chosen. Erin is such a sweet girl. I hope that she makes a change and Amanda is so great!! I love her. Kristen blew me away with that white hair and Filipe and Sione looked HOT!!! Nicole was gorgeous….I could go on and on with everyone by name. I just had a great time with all of them and Dane just went home way too soon. After the show I went to meet everyone for a drink and it seemed like most everyone in the room was in some way related to Dane. It cracked me up. So now we are back shooting and this season we have a really great bunch of people. We have a girl that is our biggest contestant EVER….476lbs. She has such a big heart and a big drive. She is going to do great!! It is just so inspiring to start a new season because in the beginning there is no talk of game play or any of that other CRAP! It is just a bunch of people that have decided to say, “Enough!!!!” Enough of all the excuses. Enough of all the complaining. Enough of all the excess. Enough of not relying on myself. Enough of sabotaging my goals. Enough of not loving and caring about myself. ENOUGH!!! Don't you feel the same way? When you say to me that you are just not motivated or you have lost motivation or you just can't, I want you to think about a woman right now that weighs almost 500lbs and she is doing it. She is beaten up and sore and she is just getting up and putting one foot in front of the other. Gain motivation and inspiration from a soul like hers. We can do anything that we put our minds too. We can say to ourselves that when we feel that lack of motivation, it is just the old ways trying to creep back into our minds and sabotage the good that we are trying to do. That is what it is. People always, on a daily basis, ask me how to I stay motivated….how do I keep going? I know it can be tough but this is a commitment and promise I made to myself to live a healthy and happy life. Today I ask you to make that same promise to yourself. Respect and love this body that God gave you and take good care of it. Promise yourself….xoxo

@ Tammy's Comment: It's good to take a break, gives the body that shock it needs in the way of shaking things up and doing something a little different so it won't go into familiar mode and ride that plateau wave. When jumping back into your routine find some way to mix it up that is fun and interesting.

Just thought I'd stop by and say hi. I am out of my routine. I have been on vacation. I did go to the gym today so I feel a little better. Last year on vacation I really didn't care what I ate or if I worked out. I guess since I am stressing out about eating junk and not exercising everyday shows I do care now. I need to plan on eating better tommorrow. Take care all.

You find someone on here you would like to add as a bob, which is the same thing as adding someone as a friend. Click on that person's underlined profile link and you will see somewhere in the upper right side add as a bob.

Does anyone stop in anymore. Bob must be busy, about 2 months since he has been by, commented at least. Stick to your goal everyone. (Insert pep talk here.)

@ aimchris' Comment: I undestand how you feel that is the same thing that got me started . I have a 7 year old gorl that loves food so much she will eat till she throws up if I don't stop her. When she was little we were always talking about how we had such a big eater, because most kids don't eat. Now she is heading down the wrong path and how can I make her change her ways if I am not willing to change mine.
