*Official Chat Thread for Biggest Loser Season 4* ~FINAL WINNER POSTED~

It would be Wed. January 7th. The 9th is a Friday. I only know this because my wedding day is the 10th and its a Saturday. Holy cow its coming up fast!

any thoughts for the theme of BL5? this time we did the fluffy animals. chubby babies? sumo wrestlers?

WOW Morgan - what a difference.

Way to go Lisa! That is awesome!

I did take before and after pics for myself and really see no difference. I am bummed about that. I also took my measurements and did see a small improvement in them (all went down - 1.75" waist, .75" hips, and 1" thighs). The weight is really hard to come off though....I am lucky to average a pound a week. I am regular with my exercise so probably need to look again at what I am eating. Does anyone know of a good resource to determine how many calories you should eat a day? I have stumbled upon so many different calculations.

I would probably be in for another round. You ladies are very motivating and should all be proud of yourselves. 12 weeks would be fine and I think starting in January is a good idea. Hope everyone has a good weigh-in tomorrow.

I just sent in my final weigh in. Sorry I've been MIA from posting recently. I just started a new job (coaching girls basketball - and I've been practicing with the girls so that has really helped in addition to my workouts) and we just moved, so I've been really busy. Morgan, your before and afters look great! I wish I could show mine, but I've still got a lot to lose, so I'm not ready yet. But I think I did pretty well this go-round. Mother nature brought me a gift last week, but I avoided some strong cravings and came out pretty well this week. Good luck to all of you girls!

I can't wait till BL5!

i'm so excited that we seem in agreement that 12 weeks will be better ... i think it's perfect (not too short, not too long)!

overall, i did slightly better than in BL3 ... in this round, i lost a total of 11.5 lbs. (some of it was re-losing weight i had gained back in between contests!). unfortunately, with the arrival of my period THIS MORNING (of course, on the day of the final weigh-in ... can't catch a break, LOL!) also came the arrival of another small weight gain (two weeks in a row ... sigh).

hopefully the next round won't perfectly coincide with my cycle, LMAO!

may the best LOSER win!

btw ladies, I WIN!

we were at the american museum of natural history in NYC this weekend, and they had this nifty "your weight on the moon" scale ... i was tempted to send ann this pic as my final weigh-in, but i didn't think she'd buy that i lost over 200 lbs in one week! hehe ...

hmmm ... destination wedding on the moon?

lol that's funny. I would of beat ya though my scale at home today said i weighted 0.0lbs. But the third time it finally came up right. I heart my scale!

Morgan - thanks for the calorie count information

Lisa - the moon weight cracked me up.

All said and done, I lost 6 pounds. I guess not too bad. Starting to keep better track of what I am eating so we will see what happens. Thanks for all the motivation and support ladies!
