Drum Roll Please........

Ok the official report is in. First off each person did a great job and each one of them should be very proud. I lost 7 pounds this week. It was not double digits, but I am happy with it. I had a really hard and stressful week, and so I am ok with it. I am really glad it was a loss and not a gain. I was afraid with the stress it would be a gain. I started this not expecting to win, and I told myself that I would not be upset if I did not. I believe that I won just by being picked and getting this opportunity which is a once in a life time one. However, in the past week and after this last weigh in, I have become a little more confident in my abilities. The thought popped into my head that I have a chance here. So I have decided that instead of giving this 110%, I am going to kick it into high gear and give it everything I have to give. If I have to sweat blood in the gym, then I will do it. I do have a competitive side and I believe that it is peeking around the corner. I have never had a lot of confidence in myself, but I am hoping that this will improve as these next few weeks go on. It has been brought to my attention also that I do not smile a lot. I guess it comes from years of being unhappy with me, and it will just take time to adjust to the new me coming out. To all my fellow contestants you are doing such a great job, and I can see so many changes in each of you. It has been such an amazing experience sharing this journey with you, and I look forward to the next 10 weeks with each of you.

The lead this week goes to Dr. Adams with 20 pounds lost and 6.88% body weight, second place goes to Josh with a 5.2 pound loss and 1.73%, and third place is me with 7 pounds loss and 1.57%. We got another break and no one was eliminated. That is the good news. The bad news is that two people will be eliminated next week. I have to keep it going strong this week so I am not one of them. I think I can...I think I can....I think I can.
