Last night was the Biggest Loser makeover show with Tim Gunn and Tabatha Coffey. Before we delve into the recap (SPOILER warning), can we be catty for a minute and comment on who we thought had the best makeover?

I'm not going to call anyone out, but I've read lots of posts on CafeMom about moms who say they are scared of the gym. Some are self-conscious and worried that their body will attract staring. Others are intimidated by all the complicated-looking gym equipment. Me? I'm terrified that my workout is going to be so painful that I'll wimp out and won't be able to finish.

Not too much to say about The Biggest Loser this morning, except that I'm surprised, sad, and concerned for the person sent home (SPOILER alert).

 

I'm always so inspired by hearing other women's stories of how they've lost weight, increased their fitness, and adopted a more healthier lifestyle, aren't you?

But first, let's hear a little bit about why she's embarking on this important journey...

Some people can eat an entire meal before working out. I am most certainly not one of those people. In fact, it would be quite unpleasant (for me and people around me) if I decided to do this.

I exercise first thing in the morning, so I rarely eat before working out: first, because I don't have time, and second, because eating so early in the morning makes me nauseous.

But some fitness exerpts recommend eating before exercising because they say it can give you more energy and help you to last longer, especially during a hard workout...

Remember Tyra Banks' "Kiss My Fat A**" moment that aired few years ago on The Tyra Banks Show?

Now, the famous model/actress/talk show host is telling critics that they can kiss her fit behind: She's shed almost 30 pounds since her angry 2007 outburst directed against tabloids that printed unflattering photos of her in a bathing suit and called her "fat."

So, how did she lose so much weight?

I've spent all this season of The Biggest Loser hoping a certain person would get voted off the show. But in the end, that particular person didn't seem to be as bad as I had previously thought...WARNING: MAJOR SPOILER.
