Wow a month already!

So a month has gone by and how about that, I lost 20lbs! Let me tell you what, there are SOME people out there that think just because you are a heavier person, you will lose weight quicker and its easier. Well I have news for those who believe that old wives tale...WRONG! I have busted my *** over the past month, eating healty, working out every day, trying to be a single mother and work full time, and most importantly....staying STRONG and POSTIVE and keeping the FAITH! Everybody's body works differently than others and no matter what, focus, strength, commitment and will power will help you succeed. If you dont posess all of that equation than you will be unbalanced.

This whole process has not been the easiest of journeys, however, those that think and stay optimistic and positive will be the ones to prevail in life. Not just with this contest but IN REAL LIFE afterwards! If I dont win this show, it wont be the end of this journey for me. I will continue to fight this battle of obesity I brought upon myself until I feel and look healthy again. This is the most important thing to me. That first week I lost myself in negative emotions and I cried at a 4lb weight loss! 4 POUNDS, I lost 4 POUNDS in a WEEK! So, I decided from here on out that, I would be grateful for every pound I lost and would just try harder the next week!

To EVERYONE, online losers, fantastic 9, and those just tuning in to watch the progress, keep up the good work. Dont ever let anyone bring you down, words are just that...words. YOU are the only one to let them get to you. YOU control your emotions and if you react, then chances are there is a tad bit of guilt on your part. Just stay strong and be positive!

GOOD LOOK ALL AND CONGRATS BLUE TEAM FOR THIS WEEKS WIN!

MAY- Get well soon chick!!

Love, MichelleAngel

GO WHITE LIGHTENING!!! Lightning

Man-O-Man, i couldnt have said it better myself.  Michelle, i think we are on the same page.  I am trying to eliminate the negative from my life because it just brings me down.  I want to surround myself in positivity and positive people.  I am sad for people that see the negative side of things, and their glass is always half empty, they focus so much on the bad stuff in life that they never really get to enjoy the great stuff.  I am going to take a new outlook myself.  I think my half full glass will alway be half full of starbucks frappachino... its like i have enjoyed half... and there is still 6 wonderful, heavenly ounces for me to enjoy.... watch out for brain freeze=)
You are doing awesome!  dont let anything or anyone get you down.  Whenever you feel down pull out that picture... you look great!  Keep it up!~LL

okay fair request!  and i will make an extra effort to make sure to give you only postive feed back.  i do not want to make an enemy ... i know i have not given you a chance to know me and that is my fault but i really dont know you either...  and I like your little guy alot we talked Sunday so much ... I was a single mom thru the 80s and it was not easy raising my 3kids but today I look back and i say how did I do that??? they are all wonderful adults and am very fortunate to have them for my kids and yours has a real good sense of responsibility that is always the best... dont tell anyone you caught me at a less neg moment.
ps but why did you delete dawns comment?

Belinda, I deleted my own comment because I had mixed up some names. No drama here -- I was just trying to get to Good Friday services and didn't have any time to re-write.

As you guys know, we sometimes have folks who stops in on the blogs and post abusive, vulgar comments or spam selling viagra. So yes, you all have the ability to delete comments on your own posts.  I'd prefer that you don't use that to delete other contestants' valid opinions, but if things are getting personal and snippy, shoot me an email or call me up and I'll look at the posts in question.

On an up note -- Red Team, you guys looked like you were really working it in the pool! White team, someone may need to come comb my hair for Easter church because I'm not sure I'll be able to move my arms tomorrow after the Simonizer. Blue team -- I didn't check in on you guys this morning, but I know you're working it!
