BIGGEST LOSER - America has voted and.........

Here are the results for this week. We had some late reporting that delayed the posting but here it is:
#1 Casey Elmer - 3.20%

Summertime, summertime, sum-sum-summertime

The first swim of the year. Hannah and Abby 'fell' in the pool yesterday at a whopping 62 degrees.....BURRRRRRR




This is MY POOL BOY! You should see him dance..... :)


Too cold to swim but warm enough to lay out and get dry.

Another Week, Another Weigh-In

Welcome back to the Biggest Loser, Family Style. We have had another week of changes. We are happy to announce that Larry "Lardo" Porter remains in the lead but the other contestants have switched around positions again.

#2 Hannah - 2.6595% loss. She is down 5 pounds! You Go Girl!
#3 Casey - 2.222% loss. Casey resorted to bulemia last night (okay, it was the flu, but it helped) He's lost 4.5 pounds total.
#4 Kathy - 1.9169% less than 17 days ago. She has lost 3 pounds total.
#5 Brad - 1.5625% loss. Brad is steady but sure. He has lost a total of 4 pounds!
#6 Amanda - 1.538% loss. She has lost a total of 3 pounds but had her first gain (only .5) Watch out next week~
#7 Steven - 1.3574% body weight loss (3 pounds total). I think the "Snacker" in Steven is taking over. Get on the ball!!
#8 Sarah - .2673% and she finally had a loss this week!! Way to go Sarah! She's lost .5 total but continues to make cookies and goodies, so don't feel too sorry for the Harwards.

Okay, anyone that would love to give encouragement to the Biggest Loser Houses, go ahead. We are 1/4 of the way done....... a lot can change. Larry has a commanding lead, there may be a monetary reward for anyone catching him!!

Better luck this week contestants. Get out and exercise and get off the junk food!

WEIGH-INS.........

Another week, another weigh-in. This is a lot like the TV Show, with the ups and downs of the contestants. We have seen some major switches this week. Some have become a little discouraged and dropped from first place to 6th (mainly because she isn't living in the Biggest Loser compound, away from the hustle and bustle of real life and tax season!) Anyway, without further delay, here are the results. Dim the lights please (OOPS, wrong show, that is American Idol, anyone sad that Michael Johns is gone? There are at least 3 others that should be gone before he left!) Sorry, back to the Biggest Loser- Family Style

#1 losing 2.139% of their starting weight, Larry Porter! (WoW, Wee, WoW, Wow, Wow)
#2 with a loss of 1.7948% Amanda Elmer (can I hear a what?what?)
#3 at 1.7283% less, Casey Elmer (That's what I'm talkin' bout)
#4 Hannah Porter with 1.5957% (you go girl)
#5 weighing in at 1.1718% less his starting weight, Brad Porter (that's right!)
#6 Kathy Porter at .9584% (yeah, for those of you that can do the math, that means I am up from last week!) (Don't rub it in)
#7 also up from last week, Steven Harward at .90497% (those Oreo's didn't pay off, did they?)
#8 you guessed it, last again is Sarah Harward at +.5342 from her starting weight

The challenge contestants is to do better this week. BRING THE GAME!

Springtime *u*

I had to put pictures up of the beautiful spring in Southern Indiana! I love my Magnolia Tree. It is beautiful this year. We are doing yard work tomorrow, planting some bulbs and getting the yard and pool ready for summer. It is still too cold to swim but give us 3 weeks and we will be there.

BIGGEST LOSER - FAMILY STYLE

Simply put, the Non-exerciser of the group is in first place. We will weigh in again next Thursday and hopefully have the totals posted by Friday.

To maintain motivation over this conference weekend, remember that totals can change in just a small weight gain for one and a small loss for another.

Eat those vegies!

BIGGEST LOSER

As requested I am going to post a blog about the new Biggest Loser. It seems the popular TV show has changed it up a little. There are three 'camps' this year. One is in Philadelphia, one in Lafayette, Indiana and the third is in the little town of Floyds Knobs, Indiana. Each camp is in a competition with the other camps to see who will lose the largest percent of body weight. You will not be able to find this exciting season on your TV set. You will have to check out the weekly blog to see how the contestants are doing this year. The contest will end on June 2. Here is a brief run-down of the contestants.

In Floyds Knobs, you have Larry "Lardo" Porter who weighed in at his all time high. His plan is to cut out the chocolate chip and pecan treats every evening and sleep through the munchies. There is Kathy "Compulsive" Porter who gained about 6 pounds in New York last week. She will be able to cook and eat vegetables for three meals a day. Brad "Bubba" Porter also gained a whopping 6 pounds in NYC. He plans to resort back to elementary school and have his mom pack a lunch every day. Hannah "Jumpin'" Porter is hoping the sixth grade grow spurt kicks in. She will do extra "Jonas Brothers Jumps" every night before jumping in the shower.

In Philadelphia, the contestants are Casey "Licorice" Elmer. Casey has decided to walk on the treadmill while eating his Cherry Pull-N-Peel Twizzlers. We will know he is making progress if he can give them up all together. Amanda "Nursing" Elmer has a bit of an advantage because of her little baby. Amanda plans to walk during the afternoon eating binges hours instead of over indulging.

In Lafayette we have Steven "Snacker" Harward. Steven has to overcome his obsession with eating every hour. Both of his young children gave up the night time feedings but Steven can still be found often, in the middle of the night, sneaking a snack. Sarah "Cheater" Harward hopes to get pregnant this month so she will have an excuse to be excluded from the competition. We have news for her, morning sickness doesn't count as body fat loss!

Enjoy the wacky season of Biggest Loser - Family Style
