WOW, what an opportunity!

DAY -10 days....
I cannot believe it! Me, 1 of 12, selected out of 300 applicants! It is one of those "meant to be" things, I'm sure................what is this? Well, let me fill you in..........
In early December, I caught a blip on Channel 5, advertising their LOSE A TON challenge. Of course it caught my eye. Weight loss things always do, at least for a few minutes :). I decided to email in why I should be one of the lucky contestants and for some reason, I was selected as a semi-finalist, from 300 down to 20. After an interview down at Channel 5, I got a call the next day and got the exciting news - I MADE IT!

EXCITING....absolutely
SCARY.....absolutely
INCREDIBLE OPPORTUNITY....absolutely .....(especially living with Kelly "Jillian"Roth as she called herself on the poster she hung in the kitchen the same I got home after hearing the good news! (For those that don't watch BIGGEST LOSER, Jillian is one of the TOUGH, MERCILESS trainers on the show! YIKES, look out, Kelly is going to keep me on track, I'm afraid!)

Right now, I need all the best tips I can get, not only on LOSING weight, but STAYING on track and especially KEEPING it off! So please send any ideas my way.....I look at this as not only MY opportunity but YOURS as well. If you (and YOU know who YOU are :)!!!) need to shed a few pounds, please come along on this journey, share your thoughts, successes, challenges......WE CAN DO THIS TOGETHER! 2010 is out there just waiting for us to shed some of this excess weight and have it be the healthiest year ever for us!

  1. I am soooo proud of you!!! and I KNOW you can do this - it will take commitment and work and determination - all you an abundance of!! I will be every step of the way with you and if Kelly lets up - I won't - that is a promise!
    Here is my first tip - and this sounds crazy I know but try it - after dinner - floss and brush your teeth!! It really makes you think several times before you have that "evening snack"!
    Love you - you go girl!

  5. Mo - remember, I am just a few feet away - watching you! I will be reporting your every move to "Kellian"!! Ok, not quite, but I will be here for support every day!! My best tip - just say NO to carbs in the evening after work. A small amount is fine if it is in a healthy form, such as fruit or milk. But no breads or sugars. (And I love that brushing the teeth after dinner idea!!) GO MO!!! Joyce

  7. Mo, I am so excited for you and if I can ever do anything to help out just let me know. You are already on your way with the positive attitude and support you have. I would give you some wonderful weight loss advise but I am thinking I should leave it up to those that know what they are talking about!!!!
