The Biggest Loser Season 8 Finale

I'm watching the Finale of season 8 right now and I felt that I needed to write a post about it.

Over the last few months this show has really inspired me to try even harder to lose weight. I've been on a diet for as long as I can remember but I always find a way to mess it up...this show has inspired me to do things I would have never dared try before. I've learnt that exercise is as crucial as the calorie intake so I make sure I do at least 30 minutes every day and if I have to take an extra 15 minutes to make a healthy dinner while my family choose a less healthy option, then  I will.

In the last month I’ve lost 15lbs, making my total loss 94lbs and although it was my hard work that made that happen, I couldn’t have done it without Biggest Loser Club.

Its inspirational to watch these people work their arses off at the gym for 6 hours a day. They’re normal people like you and I, they have families, they face struggles every day, but they know they need to change their lives and that is exactly what they do. Watching the final weigh in and seeing how much they’ve all lost and how different they look is just amazing. It just goes to show that it can be done and anybody can do it, you just have to take the first step.

My sister is really supportive of me, but something she always asks is “What will be enough? When will you be happy?”. I don’t really have an answer to that… I don’t have a ‘goal weight’ because I don’t think the guidelines for ‘healthy weight’ are very realistic, but I know that once I’m a healthy size and I’m comfortable with my body, I’ll be happy.

The one thing I do know is that I don’t want to end up like Tracey. As far as I’m concerned, she’s taken it way too far.


A huge congratulations to Danny Cahill though, not only did he win the $250,000 prize (and free surgery to remove his excess skin), but after losing 239lbs he is the shows Biggest Loser to date. Well done Danny.




Rose McGowan Appreciation Post!

I had the afternoon off today so I decided to be lazy and wrap myself up in a blanket on the sofa watching TV. Coming down with a cold is never good, but nothing a hoodie, soup and a blanket can't sort out.
Anyway, I was watching Charmed which brings back some memories, and my old girl crush on Rose McGowan seems to have reappeared. So, here are some photos. She has such a classic beauty and body shape...something Katy Perry-esque...Enjoy!





I love this dress, it's so cute! 




This is probably my favourite picture of Rose at the moment.

Body Shots


You may remember her as 13 year old "Kaci", who had us singing along to "Paradise" and her cover of David Cassidy's "I Think I Love You", but she's come a long way since then.

Kaci Battaglia, a singer, songwriter, dancer, actress and professional kickboxing instructor, is back with the 2nd single from her comeback album "Bring It On".


"Body Shots" is the kind of song you listen to while you're getting ready for a night out on the town, or the song you dance to after you've had a few drinks and you're letting your hair down...a Britney beat with Aguilera vocals. A fun, sexy song with a guest appearance from Ludacris.

Leave comments below and let me know what you think!
Don't forget to follow Kaci on Twitter and become a fan on Facebook (UK Facebook). You can also add her as a friend on Myspace, download her songs from iTunes and check out more of her videos on Youtube.

So, most of the people who have viewed my blog are from the USA, Brazil and the UK.
Thank you all for taking the time to read the things i've written so far and I hope you'll keep coming back.
I've had almost 100 hits already and I haven't even been live for 24 hours yet, that's pretty cool!
Don't forget to follow me here and on Twitter, there are some really awesome things to come over the next few months...I can't wait to share it all with you :)

Deborah Ann Woll



This is Deborah Ann Woll. You'll probably recognise her as Jessica from True Blood.
She's one of the most beautiful women I've ever seen! Just look at the shade of her hair, those amazing blue eyes and that smile...wow.

  

Matte Nail Varnish!


I came across this image on my Tumblr dashboard last night and fell in love almost instantly! The idea of a matte finish nail varnish seems so weird but looks so good.
I decided to treat myself to some and although shipping costs from the USA were quite reasonable, the estimated 14-21 day delivery left me feeling impatient...I want it now!
