We are originally from Long Island, N.Y. and now live in Pike Road, AL. My husband and I along with our 11 yr. old daughter watch the biggest loser each week and sad to say I used to eat ice cream while watching. We are both over weight and want to win this contest. I weigh 216 lbs. and my husband 178 lbs. By March 11, 2008 he would like to loose 20 lbs. and I would like to loose 40 lbs. Being over weight has been an issue for most of my adult life and being big runs in my family; my grandmother (dad's mom) weighed over 300 lbs. at one point of her life. This contest will help my husband and I fight this long battle of the bulge. My husband having gone to war in Iraq fights depression and hence is gaining weight. We want to win this challenge and win our lives back. While watching the Biggest Loser my daughter would say "mom you can do it, I will help you!" How could I possibly resist. I have resisted so far but not andymore. Food is an addiction which we will beat and become better role models for her.
