My BIGGEST LOSER :)

One of our favorite and probably only reality TV shows is The Biggest Loser - it changes peoples lives for the better and yes there is a prize for winning, but these people need serious help. Not just weight issues, but dealing with traumatic situations and are now coping with food. I find myself tearing up over most episodes and on a rare occasion have seen Jeff tear up. hehe - don't tell him I wrote that. :)

At the end of May 2010, The Biggest Loser was coming to our little town of Laveen to do a taping of the first episode for this Fall 2010. They wanted people to come and work out with one of the trainers (Bob or Jillian) and just be part of the experience. My friend Sharree was going and dragging Erin along, but I was not really up for an intense workout being preggo and all. So I volunteered Jeff to go. :) Saturday morning, Jeff met up with 4 women and joined the background for the Biggest Loser and Red team. A few highlights from the experience: I wish I could have gone and Jeff had nothing but excellent things to say about these 4 women he attended with - although he did mention he'd seen enough of the women's "pocket" to last a life time..........you know that special place you store your keys, chapstick, credit cards, etc when you don't have a purse and are in workout clothes.... :)

 Sharree rocking the squats - getting compliments and props from Bob for not moving the entire time even though they had to start over several times. Sharree held strong - she's amazing!

 The contestants had to run a mile and everyone there got to run with them. Sharree was the pace for Jeff and he was able to keep up with her.
 Way to go guys!! Sharree, Erin, Michelle, Jami, Jeff

just catchin' up pn your blog. That was so nice of miss erin to take him and help him feel better in the pool. surprised to see this BL post on there. we did have fun and we laughed. a lot. and i laughed so hard at the women's pocket. too funny. jeff was a trooper hangin' with the ladies. i think we're all good enough friends that it didn't bother him. not that he would want to do it every day...
