The Biggest Loser - TV show

I don't watch many reality shows, but "The Biggest Loser" is one I've always enjoyed.  It's a show featuring morbidly obese people who are set up in a secluded ranch and they work with trainers to lose weight while competing with each other for the ultimate goal of winning $250,000. 

This week

Well, I had the endoscopy last week because of my recent bout of severe stomach pains a few weeks ago and it turns out I have an ulcer, but it's healing nicely. 

Two HUGE milestones today!

When I wrote this blog in late August 2015, I weighed 191 lbs. after having lost 115 lbs.  I was doing really well, and then the universe decided to start playing with me again. 

The doctor called...

In reference to my previous two posts, I had a CT scan last week to find out what caused my recent abdominal problems, and my doctor called with the results. 

Update on my stomach issues from last week

My previous post discussed how severe abdominal pain ruined my last week with Flaminia ("Fla") and nearly prevented me from seeing my trainer at all before she moved to New York.  Vilma luck struck with a vengeance!

My last week with Fla…and then Vilma luck hit with a vengeance

This was my trainer's last week in Los Angeles before she moves to New York tomorrow morning.  If you've been reading my blog, you know what Flaminia ("Fla") has meant to me this past year and what an incredible influence she's been to my successful weight-loss journey and the subsequent creation of the new me. 

A year of spinning as 2016 begins!

Yesterday I ended 2015 by attending a spin class in the morning, walking 3 miles to/from the gym, and training with Flaminia ("Fla") with boxing.
