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!
