Did anybody watch The Biggest Loser finale last night? I'm not normally one to get sucked into reality tv shows. I have enough reality, thank you. But I just LOVE THAT SHOW. And last night was no exception. They had all the people who had been kicked off the show and had them all weigh in to see who out of them was the biggest loser before they brought out the 3 finalists. Everybody looked amazing. The show had made a lasting impression on everybody.

I think I was most impressed with the guy who had been kicked off the very first week. Even having been there for only a week, at the final show he had lost like 85 pounds! I was equally impressed with Pete who was the biggest loser out of the people kicked off the show. He lost nearly 200 pounds! You wouldn't have even recognized him as the same guy from the beginning of the show that weighed in at 401 pounds. He was half the size he was and he looked fantastic. And the three finalists looked absolutely incredible. They all lost a significant amount of weight and the numbers were really close. But in the end Matt, the most competitive one pulled it off. But he said that even better than being the Biggest Loser was that he had been sober for 9 months that night.

This show isn't about becoming supermodel thin. This show is about changing lives and making yourself better through the things you go through. They show that you don't need a quick fix like liposuction or facial reconstruction to become beautiful. These people learned more about themselves over the course of the show through all the trials than they ever would have if it had been easy. And they were able to take those positive feelings about themselves and turn it into an incredible weight loss. But it wasn't just about the weight loss. It was about lifestyle changes. And it was awesome!
