A Big Loser at the Fitness Club in Auburn, WA | Biggest Loser VII

  
  
  

It is Biggest Loser Time.  Biggest Loser VII at Vision Quest Sport and Fitness.  This fitness club in Auburn, WA is an award winning business where over 2800 pounds were lost in the last biggest loser contest.

Who can become a big loser?  What kind of person takes control of their life and tackles exercise equipment with no fear?  Weight loss seems tough.  Who can make it?

Can the exercise balls be mastered?  How do you learn what to do for a workout?

It looks like I see a few.  A full room of people in fact.  This is the highest number of people to sign up for the Biggest Loser at Vision Quest Sport and Fitness to date.

Do you think these people are brave for taking action to change their lives?  Do you believe it is possible to lose 25, 35 or 50 pounds in 13 weeks?  If you don't believe, then know that it has already been done at this fitness club over and over.

Here is Brad Swartz.  He is a world champion wrestler and lives what he teaches.

Handsome guy, don't you think?

On Thursday night he got the crowd motivated and inspired.

Yes, I was there.  I expect to lose 25 more pounds. This last month has been busy, busy, busy.  It appears I actually gained some pounds!  I weighed in at about 249 pounds.  No worries.  I will go on the entrepreneur diet.

As Brad Swartz was giving an awesome and amazing presentation, I was thinking about chocolate.  Take a look at the double vision of Brad showing the benefits of the very successful (and still growing) program.

Uh oh.  Here is a photo with Brad Swartz smiling big with giant bags of Dove chocolate candy bars in his hand.

How can this be?  We must rewind the clock and see how he came in possesion of the chocolate.

Back... back... back in time.

Ok.  Here is Brad Swartz sharing wise words about fitness, health and losing weight.

Here I am concentrating on Brad's every word while standing next to him.

So far so good.

I think I remember.  There was chocolate stuffed in my coat.  It seems I was caught red handed with big bags of chocolate.  I try to come up with an explanation.  Brad smiles big because he knows that I am caught.

Here I am confessing and pouring out my guts to him.  Coming clean, I tell him he can have a bag and my new personal trainer (Amber) can have the other as a token of my new commitment to Biggest Loser VII.

There is a reason Brad Swartz is a world champion.  He knows how to make it happen.  Here he is with my chocolate in hand.  (Do you think he's gloating?)

Brad shares with the crowd what a sad case I am.  Did he say it like this?  "If you do what Michael Hartzell tried to do, you will fail, fail, fail.  Stick to the meal plan, take the supplements, exercise, drink water and more water, and don't quit."  My readers digest version I suppose.

He is holding that chocolate pretty tight.  Wonder what he will do with it?

Now you know the rest of the story and how I was able to catch World Champion Brad Swartz with two bags of chocolate in his hand.  It was me thinking I could sneak chocolate while on the Biggest Loser.

You must know?  The photos are real but I did take just a bit of liberty and created a story that might be stretched just a bit.

The part where a giant room of people signed on to participate in the Biggest Loser VII at Vision Quest Sport and Fitness is the truth.  They are amazing.  

What do you think?  Do you want to weigh in right now from wherever you are and see if you can beat my target?  25 pounds is my goal. I will be reposting my workout calendar in the next couple of days.  Feel free to come on down.

I was there and I saw it! It was an amazing night! Everyone must be motivated! (even though I saw you put those bags of chocolates in Brad's hands, he put them on the table!). Absolutely an amazing night.

And I recognize all the people in these photos--that has good vibes, I guess, or not, depending on how you look at it!

Yes. An amazing night. Don't let the trainers hear you aren't getting good vibes. They will work you harder! :) 
 
Thanks for the validation and confirmation. Makes me smile!

I'm crying because I can't find a place to sign up for Big Losers.

I think... Brad called the Dove chocolates "POISON." Yep. that was the word. Hmmmmm.... I call chocolate one of "America's choice love affairs"

Whew. Poison. WOW. Did not know that. But then people are in love with lots of crazy things in America. What about HewHaw? People used to love that! 
 
Since you love Dove Chocolate so much, maybe I will bring more bags to the weigh in next time? or the next? 
 
thanks for giving chocolate a thumbs up.
