Welcome to my million mile journey...
I have started this journey many times before and have been defeated before I could reach the end.
I applied for Biggest Loser, Season 15, and did not get chosen. I was disappointed. I had so many people nominate and help me that I was sure I was going to be chosen. I was not.
I had prepared my mind body and spirit to go far away from my family in one of the most important times of their lives to undergo a much needed health transformation for them. I want to live, a long and healthy life and being 120 pounds overweight does not help with that. I am still in the mindset, only I am here and the contestants are already filming.
So I made BIG decision. I was still going to be a part of Biggest Loser; only by myself at home
I hesitated at the notion that I would subjecting myself to this again. 17 years of trying and failing and trying and failing again. It has become so discouraging that 2 years ago, after my mom died, I stopped trying. I gained 15 pounds. The first time I have gained weight in 17 years! I have to change, so in one of my sleepless nights, I did lots of research. What does a day a day on the Biggest Loser Ranch look like?. How many calories do they eat? How many hours do they work out a day? and found lots of former contestants who described their experiences in detail. So starting today, I will be a Biggest Loser contestant (in my mind... LOL) lots of contestants go home after only a week and still lose lots of weight, so why couldn't I do the same?
It took 2 weeks, but I formulated a plan.
I made a daily schedule to work out 4-5 hours a day, split up into 3 workout sessions. I scoured the internet for 1200 calorie meal plans and made a month menu, so I could stay on point. I recruited my sons to be "Bob" and "Dolvett" for my "Last Chance Workout" on Sundays,
I will record my progress daily and will write and post my blog on Monday after my weigh in.
I am looking for some challenges to do also, so if you have any ideas, please leave a comment with your great insight.
Like always... Thanks for your support!

Even if you don't want to post it, make sure you do an initial weigh in and measurement. You'll be amazed at how fast it disappears, and I pray that watching it disappear is enough of a motivation to keep you going! Let me know if there's anything I can do to help you, other than prayers, which are already on their way. :)
