Biggest Loser Boot Camp

This was definitely the highlight of my week! Two of the contestants, Sione and Filipe, from last season's "The Biggest Loser" came to Washington to share their "Boot Camp for Life" at the community center. This is now their full time job touring different cities to motivate others..so cool! The class was 3 consecutive days for 3 hours each. Laura had invited me to go with her and I was so glad that I did. We had so much fun and learned a lot..plus got motivated to have a healthier lifestyle! I loved everything about it. Sione and Filipe are LDS and first cousins. They are so hilarious and upbeat. Exercising with them was the best. I wish they could motivate me every day! We did various strength training exercises without weights for an hour straight. Boy did it do me in. My muscles were quite sore but it felt so good. We also listened to their stories and some personal life experiences. They talked to us about nutrition and answered a lot of questions from the participants. Another thing we learned a lot about was their time at the ranch..exercising 8 hours a day..wow..you gotta admire that! There were about 70 people in our session. I really miss these guys..glad that they're helping somewhere else now!

Sione and Filipe BEFORE..I wished that I had watched the whole season now..only saw the finale..amazing!

Don't they look great now! Laura, it was so much fun going with you..thanks..even if we were so sore!

Mike BEFORE was another popular contestant..made it to 3rd place. He attended the class on day 2. It was really neat to see him..such a nice kid!

Mike AFTER answering some questions. He now has a girlfriend!

At the end of the day 3, Taylor Vaifanua of Hurricane was brought in to sing Miley's song, The Climb. Do you remember her from American Idol. She was in the top 24 I think! Such a cute girl!

It was pretty exciting to see all these stars! I am so pumped now to stay healthy and eat right and I also can't wait to watch the next season of "The Biggest Loser"!
