Super Bowl Party Let Down…

Today the blogoshere is lit up with articles from people that are losing weight who had successful and healthy Super Bowl party experiences. This is not one of those blogs. This morning I woke up with a food hangover that made me feel tired, sluggish, and unmotivated to go to the gym.

Are You a Do-er or a Gonna Do-er?

Yesterday I talked a little about how we can’t change others, only ourselves. I want to talk about how our actions speak louder than words. By changing ourselves we can encourage those around us to make changes without saying a word. I am going to share how I use to be a “gonna do” person instead of a “do” person.

It’s Nothing Personal….

Yesterday I wrote something that really got me thinking. The question was: What are you suppose do when the person you love doesn’t love themselves? Today I am going to try and give a reasonable answer to this question. More specifically, i am going to answer a question that I have received at every speaking engagement I have done over the past four years. How do I get my spouse to workout and make changes?

What I See When I Look In The Mirror…

There is a strange phenomenon that occurs when you lose weight with someone close to you. When Suzy and I were on the show neither of us really noticed the changes that were happening physically. It seems like when we see a person everyday we are less likely to notice the changes in appearance that are taking place.

Surprise Surprise….

Rex was quite a surprise for us. As a good friend of mine likes to say,I couldn’t have been more surprised if I woke up with my head stapled to the carpet, when I found out Suzy was pregnant again. Jax, our second son, was definitely not on our schedule.

The Weight Gain…

For about a year after the show I did pretty good. I was traveling a lot, making appearances and doing events. It was still pretty easy for me to stay on track. Suzy and I got married September 19th, 2006. After the wedding we were so excited about all of the things we were going to do. We planned to travel, Suzy was being asked to act as a guest correspondent for Access Hollywood, I had more speaking events than I could do, we were ready to enjoy our married life as a “celebrity” couple. It was so much fun.

A Fantastic Friday…

Today was just too good of a day to write about Biggest Loser stuff. I took my boys, Rex and Jax, to the zoo and we had a blast. We got there around noon and us being the wild and crazy guys that we are closed the joint down. I have never really been a big fan of the zoo but my boys love seeing the animals so I decided that today I would take them on my own. No mom to keep an eye on all of us.

Seeds of Insecurity…

I have decided that it is redundant to keep making the title of my blogs Life After Biggest Loser since everything I write about is my life after the show. After reading my blog a couple times yesterday I decided that I want to talk more about what I am going to call “Fat Person in a Skinny Body Syndrome” or FPSBS for the purposes of my blog

Life After The Biggest Loser…. Part 4

“You are the Biggest Loser!” The cannon goes off and the confetti flys. I couldn’t hear, I was ecstatic. I remember being pulled from interview to interview and then having a few minutes before I was taken off in a car and put on a red-eye flight to New York

Life After The Biggest Loser…. Part 3

I knew I had changed a lot when I was on the ranch. It was easy to see the physical changes. What I didn’t see is how much I had changed internally. I arrived home to the fanfare of a small town 4th of July. Many of my friends and family were there as well as my favorite local band The Cedar Island Band. It was an exciting time. Most people hadn’t seen me thin in years and some had never even know me as a thin person.
