Biggest Loser

For the past two years Ryan and his co-workers have competed in The Biggest Loser contest. Although I'm not an active competitor in the competition I did join Ryan along in this challenge last year and again this year. Ryan and I give up deep-fat fried foods, pop, cake, and cookies, for the length of the competition. Last year Ryan and his partner were The Biggest Losers. Ryan got way too skinny but with money as a motivation there was no stopping him. I lost 11 pounds last year but through the year found 4 of those. Today was the final weigh in for the competition. This year Ryan went from 185lbs to 171lbs. He looks great now (he always looks great though) and I can even see part of his six pack. He and his partner did not win this year but they were both among the top competitors. I, on the other hand, weigh exactly the same as I did when the competition started. I lost a couple pounds here and there but then would find it again. This morning with my first weigh in I actually weighed 1lb more than when we started, but I ran 2 miles and took a good poop and was back to my starting weight. I'm not sure what happened this time around because I still gave up all those foods I just must have been eating more of everything else.
Today I celebrated my lack of weight loss with some pop and brownies.. mmm...mmmm. However, Ryan is continuing the weight loss through wrestling season. I guess I will be enjoying the chips and salsa without him.
