On one hand, the transformations these men and women go through absolutely amaze me. I realize they have to work extremely hard to get the kind of results they do.
But how realistic is that? Come on, you aren't losing 144 lbs in 15 weeks by working out an hour a day! That's just shy of 10 lbs a week one guy lost! One of the girls in the finale, Ali, has lost 99 lbs....6.6 lbs a week. I don't know about anyone else, but I sure have never lost that kind of weight!
So how many hours a day are they working out? 8? 10? And how many calories are they eating? 3?
I dunno...it's motivational to see that kind of life changing action but I think it's also sending a wrong message, because normal people cannot change their lives that quickly, in that dramatic of a fashion. It cannot be healthy to lose that kind of weight so fast. How many of them actually keep it off do you think?
That being said, I can really identify with Ali. I'm not sure how tall she is, but our body sizes aren't much different. (OK yes, clearly hers is NOW. But when she started on the Biggest Loser, I could identify with her!) She looks fabulous right now, and I'd love to see her win. I think I'll put a picture of her on my iPhone so everytime I use it, I get motivated to look that damn good!
In other news...
We got Jordan's tux this weekend for the prom. His "friend" (I'm not allowed to call her anything else, even though I think there is definitely more to it!) Stephanie has a beautiful yellow dress, so his tux is black with a yellow vest and tie.
Here's the dress:
Here's a close up of the top of the dress....
Here's what Jordan's tux will look like:
And last but not least...here are the two likebirds. LOL
I'm excited about Prom. I didn't go to either of mine, so I'll live vicariously through Jordan going to his!
On a sad note, yesterday one of Stephanie's good friends was killed in a car wreck, and she was a mess last night. Jordan immediately went to her house when she found out and spent the evening with her. He was very upset when he came home. Please join me in saying a prayer for the family of her friend and ask for strength in their time of loss.
And then go hug your kids if you have any. We're so blessed, aren't we?

Many prayers out to Stephanie and her friends family-how terrible-that was wonderful of your son to be by her side.
Congrats on the weight loss!! I am glad you found something that works for you! And oh yeah the nails-feels sooooo wierd I know, I hated to touch or pick up anything when I first had mine removed! One thing that I found works wanders is the Sally Hansen Natural Nail Growth Activator-it is in like a blue bottle-makes your nails so strong and makes them grow-I use it daily and it dries in no time-my nails would never grow until I started using this-maybe try that for awhile instead of the polish!!
Sending prayers to Stephanie!
YAY on the weight loss! You go girl.
Can't wait to see the prom pictures.
