I just finished watching the second season of Biggest Loser for the first time, and I just finished reading this blog on sparkpeople about the aftermath of weightloss (http://www.sparkpeople.com/mypage_public_journal_individual.asp?blog_id=4657026) and it made me think of you. I hope you are well and happy. At least you married a wonderful woman!

So Glad to hear that Suzy will be on here too. Love to you both. This weekend is super special to me. I will be walking for the 3rd time in the Susan G. Komen 3 day walk here in Seattle. We will be walking 60 miles in 3 days to raise money and awareness for Breast Cancer. Watch for us in the Seattle area,we will start at the Safeco field and walk to Marymore park the first day then a 20 mile loop the second day and then 20 more miles the 3rd day in downtown Seattle. Wave,honk or stop by and encourage the amazing men and women who will be doing this.
After watching you and Suzy on BL I had the courage to do this the first time so thanks again and love to you both.

Comment on A Rough Workout is Better Than No Workout… by Melissak

Hi Matt:

I am enjoying your video blogs of your progress. The path to success is a day to day struggle. Some days are better than others. I have lost over 100 pounds in the last two years by making a lifestyle change. I am eating as the thinner healther person I want to become every day. I enjoy a wide variety of foods because this is for the rest of my life. For me to be successful, I could not deprive myself. I eat most things in moderation.

I listen to podcasts from fat2fitradio.com, and have found a wealth of information about weight loss, exercise and making a lifestyle change,

Thank you for sharing your story, it helps me stay motivated to reach my goal and maintain my weight loss.

Comment on Taking Compliments Well… by Stoneffa

I agree completely, Matt. I think that many people who struggle with weight loss also struggle with self-Confidence. Sometimes, when we receive compliments, we just replace all the good with the negative emotions we have felt about ourselves for a long time. So you are right that sometimes we should just take the compliment and let it build us up, just like you said.

I’d like to hear about how you work out. Such as if you dont have access to a Gym everyday? or if all you have is a set amount of time to work out, what are the best excersises to do and why? basically, just seeing your progress is motivation enough.

Comment on The Results are In! Last day at Malibu Biggest Loser Resort by LoriFT

That is great! I don’t know what your goal was, but 25 is fantastic! You might not think so, but it’s nice for us (everyone else) to see that keeping it off/losing weight is always something that you have to be conscious of – that it doesn’t just end when the show does. I’ve lost about 70 overall, but if you add in what I gain back and then have to lose each time we have a new baby, it’s crazy – 141 and I still have 12 to go (our youngest is 5 mo old).

Hi Matt, I have really been enjoying your video posts! I was wondering about the coaching – I had a look at the website and was wondering if it was all over the computer and how much it was? I live in Canada, so I would be unable to go to an actual class! Thanks so much, Katie

Comment on Day 8: Not That Great…. Daily Recap From BL Resort Malibu by triathletewithcrohns

Hey Matt,

Sorry you had a bad day, but you did your works out and you made it. Every experience is a learning experience and it sounds like you learned from it and you are going to make a change today and make your day and your remaining workouts and hikes GREAT. You can do this. We are all rooting for you and remember because of you I am CHANGING MY NORMAL. On my hand it says CHANGE MY NORMAL. It is a daily reminder that I am changing, so that I can have new NORMALS in my life. I had a couple slip ups yesterday, but just like you I learned from them and making today an even great day.

Thanks for your super honesty. It’s awesome and it’s so what I need during my journey.

Have a great day and be great today.
You ROCK!!!!

Melissa

Comment on Day 3 Recap from Biggest Loser Resort….Time to “Change My Normal” by triathletewithcrohns

triathletewithcrohns — Mon, 13 Jun 2011 13:58:46 +0000

Hi Matt. I emailed you last night to tell what I’m about to comment on here. I had trouble leaving a comment the other day, but now I can.

I just wanted you to know I’ve been following you every day since you’ve been at BL Fitness Ridge. You recaps really help me. This one especially.

Yesterday I did a triathlon and after every race I have a NORMAL routine. I get whatever I want to eat and ice cream or some horribly bad drink from Starbucks, cause heck I deserved it.

I have lost 106 pounds, gained about 40 back after being diagnosed with Crohn’s and am now back on my way to losing it again.

Yesterday I was all set to do my normal routine when you popped in my head. The whole ride home I kept telling myself, “I’m changing my normal. I’m changing my normal.” Got home without stopping and had a healthy dinner and feel so much better.

If you are not sure that your recaps are helping people please know that this was HUGE for me and it’s because I listened to your RECAP.

I am now on a journey to CHANGE my NORMAL, so I can have a NEW NORMAL.

Thanks,
Melissa
