Biggest Loser: Win Finale Tickets Here

04.22.09

Who says blogging doesn’t get you great opportunities? Yesterday I was lucky enough to get a little time with Michelle Aguilar. Michelle won season 6 of The Biggest Loser and is the most recent celebrity to get a Milk Mustache.

Win Tickets to The Biggest Loser Season Finale

I only had a few moments to ask Michelle questions. Most of the answers were predictable, she reminded me to shop at the perimeter of the grocery store, skip the sodas, candy bars and chips, move your body and start young.

Here’s what fascinated me about Michelle. Michelle graduated high school in just three years and then moved into a fast paced career. She’s no slacker (trust me, I can sniff one out), Michelle was moving too fast. Part of her weight loss was tied to slowing down. Real food takes time, you can’t eat on the run and you have to plan your meals. She said that her “fast paced world was doing damage” and that it was “Great to slow down”.

I asked Michelle what it was like to win The Biggest Loser and I lost her for a moment. I could hear her tone change and she was clearly remembering a great moment in her life. She said that she kept reminding herself to slow down, to take it all in and to enjoy every moment.

I wouldn’t be true to y’all if I didn’t try to goad her into making a comment regarding the fat acceptance movement. Michelle deftly sidestepped the issue and said only that “healthier is wholer”. I agree, and kudos to you, Michelle for your grace under fire.

I’ve never been morbidly obese, but I did gain a tremendous amount of weight with each pregnancy. I didn’t like the way I looked, but I really hated the way I felt.

When I mention The Biggest Loser on Twitter I get responses like this.

As someone who cares deeply about food and exercise, this is music to my ears.

    I watch Biggest Loser every week and would absolutely love to go to the finale!!! I think this show is a true gem that shows people everywhere that they can do something to change their lives if they don’t like how things are going at the moment. It really drives home one of my core beliefs in life which is that if you are willing to work hard enough anything is possible.

    I watched this show religiously with my daughter. I have watched it every season since the beginning and find it to be such an inspiration to myself and so many. Also, I have learned so much about the foods I eat and what is and is not good for me, often surprised at what falls into the “not good for me” category. I cannot tell you how much it would mean to me to be able to see this show. I literally never put my name in the hat for anything but I just couldn’t NOT do it this time.

    Off to twitter now

  • Michelle

    I get my greatest workout of the week watching the show on the elliptical. The Biggest Loser is the best show on TV! It is a dream to go to the finale.

    I have been a Personal Trainer for almost 10 years and I love the show. My favorite part is when the trainers show the contestants that they can do things that they never thought they could. That is when they start living their life instead of watching it go by. I find it very inspiring. We all under estimate ourselves so it is nice to see others go out of their comfort zone and succeed. I would be honored to be chosen to attend the season finale.

  • Cindy Goodman

    My kids and I (Jason 10 and Sam 7 1/2) watch the show religiously and it has inspired us all to exercise regularly. I walk/run on the treadmill while watching and now on the weekend we walk the big hill by our house. I am a petite person, but needed to tone up and have now lost 6 lbs. I would give my right arm to go to the finale. Maybe I’d lose the last 4 lbs. if I gave my right arm!

  • Carin Koeppel

    I love, love The Biggest Loser! I lost 20+ pounds 3 years ago and watching the show inspires me to keep the weight off and work out regularly. My husband and I watch together so going to the finale would be a fantastic date night for us!

  • Jenny

    Yes! I, much like all these other fabulous people, am a big fan of the Biggest Loser and would love to go to the finale! If anything to sing along to the theme song and catch those finalists in the flesh. Pick me mom. Pick me!

  • http://www.livingdreams.typepad.com DivaJenn

    It was my husband who hooked me on this show…yes…yes it was HIM.

    The man a full fledged hunk of a cop who never sheds a tear on a normal day, will turn his head to hide the welling of tears in his eyes when someone on this show realizes they CAN do it…they can make a difference in their own body and well-being. He, a 9/11 officer…thinks these people are the heroes of life. And that makes him amazing to me.

    I’d watch the show a million times to watch him be inspired…and moved by people doing something about their lives in this way.

    Pick us or not…I just think its a wonderful show and I am thrilled that so many people embrace it like this!

    And I’m commenting because the biggest loser is what actually inspired me to get off my ass and do something.
