So I’m doing the Biggest Loser thing again at my local gym… this time around I’m pretty determined to win and take home the prize of a free years membership. My ultimate goal, of course, is to lose weight… but winning still rules!
Last night we had our first meeting and there were about 15 or so people there. Some of them I knew from the last time I did this, some of them were new. There are also two brand new trainers who will be working with us and I’m hoping that this time the trainers will be more involved and that we’ll get some real advice on how we can exercise better. The last time it was pretty loose… we met once a week to workout and that was about it. I need more structure in my exercise program and made sure to bring that up as we discussed the program.
One of the new trainers tried to bribe me into coming to her spin class this morning at 9:15… when I said that it wasn’t for me and the bikes don’t agree with me she replied, “you can use the recumbent and there are lots of pretty girls there”, ha! stupid me replied, “How did you know I like pretty girls?”. Anyhow, I may got to one of her classes soon to check it out, and of course the pretty girls.
All joking aside… I’m looking forward to another twelve weeks of committing myself to this challenge… It really helped me to stay focused last time around and I had a lot of fun doing it. They’re even planning the next go-around scheduled for September’ish and I’m sure I’ll be doing that one as well.



I'm a web technologist living in Northern California who drinks tea, makes beer and likes to take pictures. I'm also on a journey to lose 200 lbs and change my life for the better. I'm 110 lbs down, 90 more to go.




Best of luck, Chris. A free gym membership is a sweet prize, losing the weight even better.
Hehe… the pretty girls are def a plus
That is a fabulous prize and I a good motivation! I know you can do it!!!

Thanks for the offer but I’m highly skeptical of anyone who calls himself a ‘guru’, especially anyone who claims to be a weight loss guru trying to sell a product. No offense meant, it’s just not for me.
