I was very unhappy with this weeks BL episode.  I did not like how Ally came back and treated the people she was supposed to be training with.  If she really wants to be The Biggest Loser, she can't go to the finals with any of the men so I don't know why she seems to be going with them.  I felt so bad for the girls and it really bothers me that the men talk about beating the girls like it is a real huge accomplishment, most men lose weight more easily and faster than women and should be able to beat women in the types of challenges they are having and it's nothing to gloat about.  I just want to see a woman kick the mens butts for once.

 

Anyway, I am seeing so many people leaving now that the Million Pound Match-up is over, and I have to tell you I am really, super disappointed.  I have seen a lot of people start a really successful weight loss journey and I had hoped they continued on with their blogs.  However, I really hope the ones that hve decided to give up their blog continue with their journeys and find a support system as great as this one.  So for everyone who has left, I wish you all the success in the world reaching your goals, keep going!!! 

 

As far as my journey, I have had a so-so week.  I have cut back on my exercise because of the pain I am having in my back and I began physical therapy on Wednesday.  The physical therapy is working on the muscles in my back as well as my stomach, so it should make up for the exercise I am missing.  I am still swimming and doing the bike.  Well, until next time...

so I weighed in today anyway and am still the same so I did not change any of my charts.  I have been exercising a lot more lately and have even begun riding the bike for 4 miles.  I never thought I could do anything for 4 miles, well not without dropping dead anyway.  I haven't heard anything from the woman that was going to be my partner applying for Biggest Loser 6, so I went ahead and sent in a tape anyway.  I hope it doesn't hurt my chances by being on my own.  I have been working on my video really hard and I hope they see what I am trying to portray.  Anyway, today marks the end of the Match-up, but I hope I continue to get the great support that I have been getting on here because I know I will be here to support anyone who needs it for a long time to come.  I have a long way to go and I need this to help me continue losing this weight.  For anyone who has helped me and plan on leaving after the contest is over, I just want to say thank you for all the support and motivation that you have given through out these past 10 weeks, so THANK YOU! Also, a special THANK YOU to MSN, NBC, and Biggest Loser for putting this together because it gave me that kick in the rear I needed to start getting this weight off.  Well, until next time...

I just wanted to add that I am really proud of Adam.  He is trying so hard and I feel really bad for him.  Please, if you stop by, leave some encouraging words for him because he really needs to see that there are other people who are supporting his efforts.  Thank you all!  -Dawn

Well we weighed in last night, probably for the last time before the contest ends since we will be away next Tuesday, and the results were good.  I lost 2 more pounds bringing my total to 25.4 lbs. and Adam lost 3 lbs. bringing his total to 22 lbs.  I think we did pretty well for the 8 or 9 weeks we did ths.  We are not done, we are continuing our journey even though the MPM is ending.  I hope a lot of you stay with us to continue on to your goal and to continue on with supporting each other.

 

Okay, the show was good.  I did not want to see Bernige go, but I really wanted Kelly to stay.  I am still rooting for Kelly to become the first female Biggest Loser, GO KELLY!  They are all doing amazing though and I can't wait to see how awesome they all look at the finale. 

 

Well, I am getting ready to go work out so until next time...
