The Season Finale

The weight loss percentages were unbelievable at the finale.  Some people still have a way to go and then others, like Sherry, definitely don’t need to lose more weight.  When Sherry was up on the scale, she reminded a lot of Helen from last season.  I was surprised that someone was able to lose more than her percentage of 45.41%. Melissa was obnoxious as usual, but she looks good.  Frankly, I’m just glad she and Lance didn’t win the $100,000.  Koli did.  America may not have voted him into the finals but he lost enough to take the at-home prize.

In the end, the heaviest woman ever on the Biggest Loser, Ashley, squared off against the heaviest contestant ever, Michael, for the grand prize.  Michael took home the gold by going from 526 to 262 pounds.  He lost 264 pounds, more than half his body weight.  I can’t even believe that’s possible, but there he stood, a whole person smaller. 

My totals are not so big but I’ve made progress.  With a starting weight of 252.5 pounds and weighing in currently at 225 pounds, I’ve lost a total of 27.5 pounds.  Unlike the contestants on the Biggest Loser, I’ll be back tomorrow with more news on what’s next.  The season hasn’t ended for me!
