What a wonderful experience this Biggest Loser was for myself and (hopefully) my team. It was such a sweet experience on Saturday as Team Hunter was together in the gym for the final time. I will leave the last word to our inspirational Team Captain Tahl East;

“LAST DAY!!!!!!! Our lives have changed, our bodies have changed, our futures have changed…THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU to Snap fitness (especially Derek, Sara and Stephanie) you are stuck with me; A Huge thank you to Caroline Hunter, you are now and for ever my sweat sister (better than blood sister); QX104/HOT103 you rock (well neither of you are rock, but you know what I mean); Thank you to the team for working so hard, and mostly THANK YOU to my amazing son ARI for being so cool and putting up with my workout schedule, mood swings, constant reinforcement, and teenage wisdom….Thanks for changing my life; I am done with the dying.”

Back at you sweat sister – life can be sweet!!

Team Hunter is going strong to the finish line of Winnipeg’s Biggest Loser! Tight food journals and intense exercise to see what kind of mark we can make in this last week.

What a fantastic way to promote healthy living and wellness. We are actually extending the lives of each member participating in this competition and positively affecting many many more.

When I asked our team captain Tahl why she decided to sign up for the competition, she told me she “was ready to stop dying”. Every day she felt she was slowly killing herself. Now she is living every day, enjoying her life and those in it.

There is no easy way to do this. Surround yourself with people who can help you and support you and then tackle your life head on. Take your life back. I dare you.

Sara (flipping through a magazine) – “Hey Tahl, you should try this exercise!”
Tahl – “No way! You try it!”
Sara – “No problem”
Tahl – “Ok, I will try……..”
Derek – “Tahl, Nooooooo”

Week 10 was retest week at boot camp! The girls broke EVERY ONE of their perviously posted personal bests!

Great effort by every team member. The ladies left everything they had in the gym!

I was struck this weekend about how the Biggest Loser process has done so much more than tighten and tone. After another gruelling workout at Snap Fitness on Grant Avenue Saturday morning, I spent an extra 20 minutes or so with my teammates in the parking lot laughing until our sides hurt. Granted, after Derek’s 7 [...]
