Yesterday was a blast! Myself and the three other contestants were announced on the noon Broadcast of KARK Channel 4 by Mallory Hardin.
Thankfully, my husband, sister, and one of my best friends came with me because it was a bit scary! Just the idea of being on television, in HD (ahhhh), and being so open about being over weight is a bit nerve wracking. KARK made me feel very comfortable and it was so cool to be in the studio and see all the sets I have watched every morning for the last five years!
You want to see the broadcast? Here’s a link to Part 1 which features Janice Drew and myself.

A HUGE thanks to The Sporty Runner in Conway! They gave all the contestants a pair of Saucony running shoes!
When I went into the shop to try on the new shoes, I met Don, who is one of the owners of the store. Come to find out, he is also my neighbor! 🙂 Nice!!! Don, you’ll soon see me out in the neighborhood in my new shoes.
After I got back to Conway yesterday afternoon, I went by my Doctor’s office just to let her know what was happening. The staff at Stancil Raney Medicine in Conway are phenomenal! I adore the nurses and Dr Stancil is fantastic. After doing a physical, she gave me the all clear! She did tell me to listen to my body. If something feels like it is pulling too much, hold back a bit…she doesn’t want to see me with a hernia or something that could take me completely out of the competition. She said our bodies know what is too much and I have to listen to mine!
It all starts today! I head to Little Rock to be weighed in, get a diet plan, and start my cardio. Wish me luck!!! Please CLICK HERE to leave commits on the KARK contestant page. ♥
Here’s the link to the story of how I found out I was picked as a contestant:
Biggest Loser Arkansas…um yeah, things are about to get crazy up in here!
Superb article and easy to fully understand explanation. How can I go about getting permission to publish section of the post in my future e-newsletter?
I believe this is an zinamag game! I have done some of the other workout games and this one is definitely the best thus far. It works you hard and pushes you to do better. It is honestly like having your own personal trainer in your home. It all depends on which training personality you like the best. Bob is definitely motivational and Jillian pushes you hard. Overall, great game. Only thing is the kinect doesn’t always track your movements properly, but if you are using it as a workout and not a game it really doesn’t matter. As long as you are working hard and attempting all the moves you will get a great work out.
I don’t even know how I ended up here, but I thought this post was good. I do not know who you are but definitely you’re going to a famous blogger if you are not already 😉 Cheers!
I appreciate the opinions on this blog, it really gives it that community experience!
