	RE:The Biggest Loser (Date Posted:05/13/2008 21:11 PM) Wow, where do I begin. I am 48 years old and have fought my weight for 30 of those years. I am a self proclaimed yo-yo dieter, enemy of exercise and my thinking was; life is too short to not eat and drink whatever I wanted. My problem being I didn't even have to be hungry to eat. Eating and being a couch potato was for the major part of my life a sport and I excelled. Forward to May 1, 2008, with the beginning of Biggest Loser on the Bayou and The Workout Co. both which gave me a big kick in the butt. I awoke to the fact that if I don't take advantage of this gift that I have been awarded which is this contest I will not be around to see my children and grandchildren grow up. I will not have only cheated them but myself. In the two weeks I have been on this adventure what a change I see in myself!!! Thank you Workout Co., and especially Chris whom everyday listens to me and encourages me to continue with just words of advise. Also, Brandy and Body Pump, I love your class, wow you are awesome. Nicole and Body Step; you are an inspiration to me with your ultimate energy level and pushing me to that next level when I think I'm just about to hit the wall. Sorry guys but it is my intention to kick your booties in this competition and even if my team doesn't win the biggest loser, I am the biggest Winner!!!

	RE:The Biggest Loser (Date Posted:05/14/2008 15:53 PM) I am so proud of my team we had a few set backs. Two team-mebers got hurt and were out for 5 days. But they will be up and bouncing again. It's a challange to work, study for a massage exam and meet the classes. It's a total life change. Eating habits and calorie logs. I found www.sparkpeople.com and joined for free. It logs food and daily exercise routines. It let you where you need to be and how much more activity you will need for the rest of the day. I have really enjoyed the nice people that I met. I like the high at the gym. Everyone is on FIRE!!!!!! Thanks Workout Co and Staff for keeping everyone updated and motivated!!!!!!!!

	RE:The Biggest Loser (Date Posted:05/14/2008 16:30 PM) Calorieking.com is a great website. Their Calorie and Fat Counter is a great guide for how many calories you are consuming. It's small enough to carry in your purse and it also has a restraunt section that is very extensive. Their software is also very good and easy to use, and they give you a 7 day free trial.

	RE:The Biggest Loser (Date Posted:05/14/2008 21:16 PM) I want to thank Workout Co. for the opportunity. This contest was a very good idea. the class ya,ll offer are so fun, my fav. is Body Jam. The most important thing to me is losing weight and being healthy. Take a bow cause ya,ll deserve it for doing this for so many people.

	RE:The Biggest Loser (Date Posted:05/14/2008 22:49 PM) I think it looks like an egg, which reminds me that I need to refresh my memory on how much protein my body needs with consideration to my physical activity increase. I've heard great reports about some losing 10 or more pounds per week. Then I receive an e-mail which mentioned the possibility of people quitting their teams. WHAT IS THAT? Quitters, I can't imagine anyone who signed up quitting at all. The Workout Co. is awesome and the staff is outstanding, more than I ever could have expected. I always thought of choosing a gym for their equipment but since May 1st, I now know the greatest asset is having the wonderful instructors. Thanks to the dedicated and hard working instuctors, in two weeks I feel an incredible difference in my flexibility and strength. I'd love to be at the gym am and pm but like everyone I have a busy schedule and find it impossible to coordinate twice a day to the gym. Anyhow, I do my best to attend at least one class of instruction daily and within the first three classes I began craving working out and loving every minute I am at the gym. Thanks to everyone who makes the Workout Co. the great club that it is. Best wishes to all the teams for great success stories. For me, I won the day I walked through the doors for my first instruction. Stay strong, be safe and ENJOY every moment you spend at the Workout Co. Pressing on toward my personal goal!

	RE:The Biggest Loser (Date Posted:05/15/2008 12:21 PM) I taking whey protein drinks and extra calcium. Eating lots of tuna for lunch. Counting calories too. Walking 6 to 7 miles a day and 1 class a day. You will see the results if you are motivated and eat right. You have to stay active. Keep Up the Good Work people!!!! The people are so nice and very motivated. Good Luck to ALL!!

Rank:none Status: Score:0 Posts:3 From: USA Registered: 05/17/2008	RE:The Biggest Loser (Date Posted:05/17/2008 21:44 PM) I starting dieting about a month before the contest, I'd heard about the contest in passing but someone from my office came around with the information on getting involved. My co-workers and I decided to form a team. I couldn't do it without Chere, one of my teammates, she pushing me during classes and always encourages me. The first week I basically walked on the treadmill, rode the "fat people" bikes and tried the rowing machines. I loved it. Then I was convinced to go to a Body Step class; I left crying. You don't understand...I don't even dance. I couldn't figure out the steps and felt like the biggest loser (not the winner of the contest). I realize now that I just have to keep trying and I'll learn the steps, but I'll stick to Body Flow and Body Pump for now. I always thought that Yoga was for tree huggers and hippee types but I absolutely love Body Flow, I can't move as well as I'd like to but that's why I've joined this contest to get moving more like I'd like to. I can't thank The Workout Co. and it's owners enough for giving Houma, Thibodaux and Raceland the opportunity to get fit. I am thinking of joining after the contest, just not sure I can swing the extra dollars. Anyone else thinking of joining? Kathie

Hey,
Does anyone know which group classes are the least crowded?

Friday evening classes at 5:30 have been easy for me to get into. My friend, Chere goes every morning at 5 am but I like to sleep, so I haven't been yet.
