You know, I thought that too. I've actually thought for weeks that they might have something going on. They just always seem to be together.

You might be right about Koli too, he did seem very out of it. I hope not, that's cheating IMO. Actually, they really should have a doctor check each person before every weigh in (especially the last one!) and make sure they are properly hydrated.

Anyway, grats to everyone in this challenge and a great big grats to the top three people! You three gave me a run for my money and are an inspiration. I hope everyone is proud of themselves because you should be!

You did great Mizzie in this challenge! 26 pounds girl! So awesome!!

Yeah, I think Koli was suffering from dehydration, he was acting weird after he won. Confusion is a main symptom of dehydration, and at times he seemed a bit confused. I was expecting him to say more during his award speech, but instead he said he just wanted to go home with his family? What?? He knew he was in no condition to celebrate, that's for sure. He seemed ill almost.

I could be wrong.... but I've read some stories about how contestants wont' eat or drink anything 24hrs prior to the show, and how some put on like 30 pounds in just water over the following week after.

Everyone else seemed to be acting normal I thought.

Thanks! I am pretty proud of that, especially since I joined part way through. Thank you so much for running this challenge and all the hard work you've put into it. It's been a lot of fun!

Oh, did you (or anyone) keep track of our "end of challenge" goals from a few weeks back? I think I said I wanted to lose 12 pounds, but I don't remember what I weighed when I posted that. lol I'll have to go back and look.

I was going too, but not everyone posted a goal, and then over half that posted the goal weren't meeting the goals, so I just passed on tracking it.

So true that you came in half way and still made it to the top ranks of the challenge! That's impressive.
 
No worries. I went back and found it. Your original post was on page 48 if anyone else would like to go back and find their goals. I had to go a couple of pages before that to find my weight at the time.

My weight then was 204.8 and my goal was to lose 12 pounds by the end of the season. I lost 17.8!!! O_O Wow... I'm shocked and proud, all at once.

Hey Everyone!!

The finale is here! Getting ready to tally the final weigh in and post the results!

I LOVED THE show last night! Wow! Everyone looked amazing!

Was it just me or did Koli seem rather out of it? I wonder if he dehydrated himself too much, he wasn't himself.
Be back to post results in a moment.

I think Koli was all butt hurt because he wasn't in the final 3... Seemed to me like he had a sour attitude.
 
Congrats to everyone for a job well done! I am a bit disappointed in myself...I definately lost motivation and did not meet my goal. However, I am now totally refocused and I am feeling great. Thank you MJ for all the work you did.

Biggest loser: I also wished that Ashley or Daris had won. As for Michael's attire...I am pretty sure he is gay. (not that there is anything wrong with that):) Koli, Sam, Sunshine, O'Neal, Melissa and Lance I hope to never see again...they completely annoy the hell out of me!
 
I thought it was unfair and OBVIOUS that Michael was going to win... he was clearly half the size he used to be. I wanted Ashley to win.

I didn't think Koli was acting strange. I think he might have just thought that he had it in the bag, and when he didn't, he was thrown off. He looked good, and even if he has a cocky attitude, he deserves it because he came really far and I would probably be the same!

Michael's outfit was not bad. I thought it was very flattering on him and made him look even smaller. Obviously the contestants were dressed and done up by stylists, so I'm not sure it was necessarily what he would have wanted to wear. That's how all the shows are though... look at how they dress up the people on American Idol sometimes!

Congrats to everyone on this challenge, you all made a lot of progress. And my girl Lisa... YOU GO GIRL!! Second place.... AWESOME! :)
 
Thanks everybody! I'm thrilled I took the top spot! I can't overstate how much this challenge went to keep me engaged during the first half of this year. Having to weigh in EVERY tuesday was a constant reminder during the weekends to take it easy :p

First off, I really want to thank MJB for putting this together. This is hands down the most successful, well run challenge I have seen on these boards. Even amid all the people joining and leaving you stuck around to keep it rolling. Huge kudos to you!

Also, Mands, you really REALLY kept me focused on this. Throughout this challenge, I was always 2-3 steps behind you. You absolutely made me work hard and keep myself honest with clean food intake. I had a lot of fun with you :D

Awe, thanks Andy! I appreciate that! I may run another one sometime. I have my old challenge template to use, would be easy. For now it's break time!

I was shocked to see Michael so small. Whoah!!! He really busted it out at home.

I was glad to see him get to a happy place with his weight.

I also wanted Ashley to win!!! Bummer
 
Wow, I can't believe the biggest loser challenge is over. Congrats to Andy, and everyone else who stuck with it all these weeks. Also, big thanks to my teammate 20to10 - it really helped being part of a team for most of the challenge.

I would like to add my thanks to Miss Jelly Belly for organising this challenge. This is the only long term diet/ lifestyle change I have ever stuck too and those tuesday weigh-ins really helped. I also loved seeing the stats each week, especially as it show percentages which makes it fairer since we all started at different weights. I am really going to miss this challenge :)

Lol. Well, if you remember I had a pretty big whoosh, or series of whooshes, a few weeks ago and that was a big part of that. But mostly I just really watch to make sure that my calories are always spot on and I only allow myself a cheat day for every 10 pounds lost. So, in short, lots and lots of willpower.
