Headin Home!!!
Posted by Matt Hoover in General on June 26th, 2010
I’m sitting in the Las Vegas airport a proud man. I was able to find supper that was healthy and within my calorie range! Sounds like a little thing, but airports have been my place of struggle for many years. I had a salad from Baja Fresh. I asked them to hold the fried tortilla strips and cheese and had salsa instead of dressing. I ate it and am typing this blog completely satisfied. They didn’t even look at me like I was a creature from another planet when I asked them to make my salad a little different.
Almost Time To Go Home…
Posted by Matt Hoover in General on June 24th, 2010
I can not believe how quickly the time went here at Fitness Ridge. I also can’t believe how much I have changed in those two weeks. I am really excited to be going home and know that I am going to be a better husband, dad, and man. I can’t wait to implement what I have learned here at my position at Vision Quest Sport and Fitness as a life coach. My time here is also going to help me in my speaking career.
A Typical Day At Biggest Loser Resort…
Posted by Matt Hoover in General on June 23rd, 2010
I have had several requests to post a typical day here at Fitness Ridge. I’ll be honest, life here is much like it was when I was on the show. The main difference is that I am eating balanced meals here and I don’t have the stress of trying to put up huge numbers each week.
So….Just How Good Is Your Excuse?

Well, as I anticipated last night, my day was much better today. I started the morning with an 8.5 mile hike in which I set a personal record. When I got done I walked back up the trail to meet some of my group and was able to add another 4 miles to my distance. This was before breakfast so I feel like I got off to a pretty good start to the day.
Break Down….

After last week, I feel a little bad to report that life isn’t a big bowl of cherries here at The Biggest Loser Resort today. It was a rough day and it all started with a genuine compliment from someone.

Where do I begin? Aside from marrying my wife and having my two boys, this has been one of the best weeks of my life. I am transforming once again this time from the inside out. I don’t know how much I lost this week, I chose not to weigh in till next week. I will say that I know I am losing weight because my clothes are all getting too big!
It’s Friday at Fitness Ridge…Day 5
Posted by Matt Hoover in General on June 18th, 2010
What an amazing week! I have grown so much personally and shrunk in waist size. As I look back over this week, I feel incredibly blessed and lucky. Lucky to be here and blessed to meet the people that are here. From the staff to the guests, it has been more than I ever expected.
The Self Fulfilling Prophecy…

Many people have heard the term self fulfilling prophecy at one time or another during their life. Although having heard it, many have never thought about what it is.

Have you ever taken a long trip in the car to a vacation destination? Think about it. When it’s time to leave you are so excited to be going. When you are about half way you start to think “We should have flown”, “Why are we still driving?”, “When are we going to be there?” Sound familiar?
Finding Inspiration…
Posted by Matt Hoover in General on June 15th, 2010
Today was a great day! Tonight I am not nearly as tired as I was last night. I am even starting to get a little color on my white Seattle skin. This morning after our hike I was talking to some ladies on the way back to the resort and I got to thinking about something. Inspiration.
