Melissa….I hate to clean but cleaning is very Zen for me. I’m sure other writers would agree *ggg* Also sitting in my back yard. There’s lots of trees and birds and squirrels–very soothing.

Scarlet…I agree. Seeing someone go home after that first week is tough! The upside is most of them seemed to really rise to the occasion!

Sasha I agree about her mindset! And I really need to work on mine. I think I might steal the mantra Rachel posted above *ggg*

Rachel I”m gonna have to check that out…Exercise is a biggie for me too, unfortunately the deadline INO and has to come first *sigh*

I did watch the last one because of the fact that a woman had a chance to win…that being said when it first came on I started watching until they kicked the first person off the show. I have to say; that really pissed me off. I thought that’s really great for someones moral, most overweight people (myself included) have issues and their like let’s just tell them their losers! Brilliant! Whatever sells, I think everyone should be given a fair chance.

I watch, as you know, and I find it very inspiring. (in a couple of ways) I LOVE LOVE LOVE that Ali won. Not just because she is the first female Biggest Loser, but because like your quote says, it was her mindset that won it for her. I’m a huge believer in if you want it, get it. You can do whatever you want, have whatever you want, IF you’re willing to work for it,.

Great post Ames!!!

I’ve been fighting the battle of the bulge A LOT here lately (lost 30 lbs last year, gained it all back, same ol’ same ol’…) My main problem is adding exercise to my life; I can diet all day long, but God forbid I attempt to move my fat ass! One thing that’s really been helping me is a book I read called Secrets of a Former Fat Girl. One of her tenets is something she refers to as INO- It’s Not an Option. So that’s what I tell myself when I don’t want to exercise. It’s really helped, and I’ve managed to do some form of workout every day for the past two weeks! Baby steps!

I used to watch the biggest loser and I can say it makes you want to get up and exercise.

You know I can’t think of one particular thing that inspires. I usually get what I need for right that moment to get me going. It can be reading a good book, watching a great movie (I saw Stardust last night LOVED IT). And sometimes it can be cleaning my house. I get a sense of peace and at those times I feel like I can conquer anything.
