Day 89 - Biggest Loser - it isn't that simple.

DId you see Biggest Loser last night? Mandy, who the blue team was banking on to have lost the most, lost nothing. It is amazing because she worked hard the past week. How can someone who works out 6-8 hours a day not lose a pound? It just goes to show you that it really isn't quite as simple as eat less, exercise more and you'll lose weight - especially for women. You see, there's the tricky little thing women go through every month that messes with our hormones and weight. We can do all that is required or necessary, follow all the rules and still not lose weight, and perhaps even gain. If we are not aware of this fact we can become disheartened and give up. But I strongly believe it is important to be aware and anticipate and to press on. Persistence is the key.
