Just wanted to stop by and give you a quick update!! I have gotten down to 514 lbs!! That is over 100lbs down from where I was last January!! My goal is to be under 499 by January 1st!!! GET 'er DONE!!!
I have a LOT on the fire right now, and am SOOOO excited!! I want to start a support group on FB for all of us Biggest Loser Hopefuls (i don't like the term rejects). I have been blessed with the friendship of MANY past BL hopefuls that have, like myself, lost INCREDIBLE amounts of weight ON THEIR OWN!! Now that BL has cast someone (a very dear friend of mine, in fact) that lost 120 lbs ON HER OWN before being cast, I think it's a great time to show people they don't need to wait around and stay fat for TBL!! We can ALL take on our life, without the fear of being turned down for the show. What is your goal anyway?? Is your goal the show? Or is it the weight loss? That is a question you have to ask yourself. If it TRULY is the weight loss, there isn't ANYTHING that is going to stop you, not even a show!!
ANYWAY! I am getting the infrastructure set up for the group. I plan to make it active this week and will start inviting people to join. It will be VERY private. ONLY Biggest Loser peeps will be involved. I will have a couple personal trainers available to us as well. I will create a positive, uplifting, ACCEPTING environment where everyone of us can come, share ideas as to what works and what hasn't. Recipes, exercise, inspiration etc!! I do NOT want to create an anti BL group! There will even be casting advice once that time comes around again. I just want people to understand that THEY CAN start now, and THE WILL succeed!!! :) If you want to be part of it, comment below, and I will make sure to send you a message on how to join. You will need to have a FB page, so let me know how to find you there as well.
I hope you all are WONDERFUL!!!! Be mindful of what you put in your mouth this holiday season, up your workouts, that will help with the extra Holiday calories! Keep these things in mind, and you should stave off any backslides. :)
Love you all, and look for another update very soon! Don't forget to follow me on Facebook. I post there a few times a day!
XOXO

I would love to be part of it. I tried out for BL10 and have to admit that on rare occasion the term "reject" has crossed my mind. I definitely like "hopeful" a lot better. So if you would consider me as part of your elite group I would love it.
ReplyDeleteThank you,
Karen Conkey
ABSOLUTELY Karen!! Are you the Karen Conkey that I am already friends with on FB? You have the WB Frog as your profile pic right now?
ReplyDeleteKristin,
ReplyDeleteI'm so happy for you and so proud of you for all your hard work! I love your blog so you really should update it more often! I read the entire thing not too long ago, while I laid in bed. It's inspiration for me bc I have lots and lots of weight to lose.
I'm so happy for Courtney, as well. I knew she'd do amazing. I actually just found out a few minutes ago that she made it verrrrrrry far in the game. ;)
Anyway, I'm definitely interested in this BL group. I've auditioned a couple times and the term reject really annoys me, so I'm all for the hopeful group! :)
BTW, we're already friends on Facebook. Just search Kendra Smith... haha :)
YES!!! I am the same Karen Conkey that you are friends with on FB. I am not big on posting things but I am guilty of lurking in the background. Imagine that....an obese peron in the background. I guess because I'm a teacher, I love to read, read, read, and read. So I read on FB, Twitter, and many other sites all about Biggest Loser. I am on many different blogs, but I usually say very little. I would love to be a prt of your great idea. I hope you keep me in mind even if I don't have the highest number of posts. I know that even Holland......doesn't like a lot of posts....then you can be considered a stalker....Hmmmm. I'm so torn...Do I want to be a lurker or a stalker???? j/k :-) I'm holding my sign up in the air...Can you see me??? PICK ME !!!! PICK ME!!!!

ReplyDeleteHi Kristin,
ReplyDeleteI've sent you a friend request on FB and dug a little deeper to locate your blog. What a great idea. One of the toughest steps to make is the first one. You should be so proud of your self for acknowledging that this is bigger than you and that support is critical to your success and those who join you on your journey.
I would love, love, love to be involved in your self-help community, offering whatever support I can along the way.
As a matter of fact, as part of my own coaching programs, I offer a complimentary 1 hour consultation. During that hour we review your personal health history, your parents, health histories, your sleep and eating habits, and specific health challenges you might have, relationships, potential stressors, etc.
I would be more than happy to offer a free consultation to you and anyone in your group who is serious about making sustainable changes and is ready to commit to long term success, no matter how long it takes.
Whatever it was that flipped your switch and got you on the path to living a healthy life, just hang on to that and take it one step at a time.
If you would like to connect with me, I'm on Facebook and Twitter.
You go girl!
In health and wellness,
