Melissa's Thoughts on The Biggest Loser

Melissa Morgan came to the Krbc Studio's after we said bye to her Tuesday night on the biggest Loser. Here our some of her thoughts on being on a hit t.v. show and changing her life for the better.



Melissa writes....

"I am humbled and honored that KRBC has asked me to write a blog about my experience on The Biggest Loser. I will start with a short blog about being a contestant and over the next several weeks I will share some insider tips and tricks that you can use to help you achieve your health and fitness goals.


"Being on The Biggest Loser was the adventure of a lifetime. I mean, really, who ever thinks they will be chosen when they send in an application to a reality show. I certainly didn’t. I sent in an application and video for me and Lance beginning with Season 6 and we were finally chosen for Season 9.


"Being a contestant on the show was both horrible and wonderful at the same time. Obviously it was wonderful because I learned so much about nutrition and exercise. But at the same time it was horrible because I was being physically pushed farther than ever before.


"I met some of the most wonderful people and hope to continue those friendships well after the show has ended.


"If I had to choose one thing to be my legacy for the show, it would have to be patience. Anyone that watched the show knows that I struggled on the scale in weeks two and three. There was some speculation that I was “playing the game” given my zero net loss over those two weeks. I hope that my +1 in week six helps people realize that I was not playing the game, but rather I truly struggled with my weight. The “roller coaster” weight loss has continued since I’ve been home. However, I have to be patient and remember that if I give myself time, I will eventually see the number on the scale go down. During my time on the ranch and since I’ve returned home, I’m fortunate that I’ve lost nearly 60 pounds. That is a huge accomplishment and I am proud of each pound. For anyone else that struggles with the scale each week, don’t give up. If you are patient, you will see results."
