This is a just a quick thank-you to my co-competitors and if I knew then what I learned from all of you I would of been the biggest loser!
Milton - How did you ever get through life with that "little boy" sense of humor and that sense of awe I would describe it as pure of heart! You put into relationships more than you expect to get back! Wow I dont usually meet people like that unless they are still kids, which I believe is why you won. Heart wide open and full speed ahead! Thanks for the chance to learn that from you.
Andrea - I feel so sorry I really did not get to know you till late in the show! Such a wonderful personality and humor on a very naughty side and yet when I actually found out what you do at your job.... oh my God! How do you do it? I have so much respect for you! You deal with delivering hard and very sad news on a daily basis and you come away telling me you gave them a chance and the tools to seek help. All I could think was how can she do that I would be depressed! But you told me you helped them get all the info to make the best decision about their lives. You were so strong in saying you HELPED them. I am the loser .... I should have made an effort to know you sooner. So young and so wise. Boy, you had me laughing so hard on Wednesday! Thank you!
Michelle - You reminded me of myself so many years ago, you want so much for your family and you battle so me fights on a daily basis. I catch a glimpse of your eyes sometimes and I remember feeling like that. I think of you and what I sometime want to say to you is... YOU WILL GET ABOVE ALL OF IT! You do not realise how strong you are and you will be successful in life because of all the things you are learning right now! You are so lucky! Plus you are drop dead gorgeous in every show or picture I have seen of you! You will want these days back one day.
Earl - What a man! Your determination blows me away! I thought there was exagerations on your always being on the treadmill but OMG you ALWAYS were! I believe I will hear about you doing the New York marathon one day! Just having known you for such a short time I feel I did see an example of bravery, determination and a will of supernatural powers. You are an example to me that you never never stop playing cards until life turns up the right cards!
Laurie - I know this is the last time you will be on this side of 200 and I see you so focused your goals are only a few months away. But I have to hand it to you, your life is not of hold you are going at it full blast with that wonderful husband of yours! What a future you have in store BUT what a life you have now... (although I still see you 2 with at least 5 kids)
Do you NOW know I am pulling your leg???
Sean - I feel you and I went off track somehow and for that I am truly sorry. You are so constant! Everyday you did everything with your wife and did not stray from your weight loss goals! The constant purpose you run through your life endears you to me because loyalty and faithfullness is what you inspire in my life, whether to your marriage, health or your job!
Mickey - I did not get to know you well but I share lots in common with you. From the blogs I see all your family and friends and all the support you have and think how very blessed you are! You made us (girls) look great with your standing as the runner up! To think a woman lost as much as you did in such a short time! When you are ready to start training people, call me! I would love to be your first trainee!!
Mei - At first I thought you were so shy and then I caught a flash of something in your eyes and I thought she is full of fun! You are going to make such a beautiful bride! You must send us all pictures!
What a ride guys! Thanks and with that I want to tell you about something I saw a couple of weeks ago... I had parked a block away from the studio and was starting my car and noticed that for some reason Milton and Mickey were walking in thier blue team shirts towards where I was parked and I wondered where they were going because there were no other cars parked where I was.... They proceeded to pass my car parked at the curb and Milton was talking and Mickey was laughing and I watched as they kept going down the road and it hit me.... they were fitting in a work out and taking some LONG way around to their cars. As I turned the corner Milton was still talking and waving his arm and Mickey was laughing. Wow I turned the corner and headed to the office realizing they had found the key that worked for them and that was enjoying where ever they workout out and sharing it with a friend! I knew I had met real winners!
Thanks guys
