I have a friend who auditioned for the TV show Biggest Loser, but wasn’t selected. In the best traditions of making lemonaid form the lemons, she formed an online blog / collaboration of similarly non-chosen people who want to lose weight as a support group. I asked her a few months ago if I could blog about it, and the answer then was that it was early yet, let’s see how thing go.
Here’s how it’s going:
…And together, we’ve lost over 560 lbs in the past 15 weeks!!! And we’re getting a little attention for it. The last week or so we have been getting greater than 1000 hits per day. Our “leader” told me yesterday that a national magazine is interested in doing a story about us. Plus we have a couple nationally known trainers chatting with and advising us.
I think it’s terrific, and should you have an interest in joining, or just reading about their adventure, look here: Reality of Weighting.
Thanks for the shout out Allen! I’m very proud of our little group.
Thank you for sharing our story! This is such an exciting time for all of us!
