Thankful for Being a Biggest Loser Reject

12.14.2010

Tonight is the season finale for The Biggest Loser, Season 10. As I’ve written about before, I auditioned for this season back in January/February  of this year. I believe they began filming in late April, which is coincidentally, the time that I started my Get Emmie Skinny focus on health. So fast forward 8 months or …

Oh Christmas Tree

11.27.2010

I’ve been riding a wave of happiness since the Southern Lights Stroll. I wish official times were up so I could verify that I, in fact, did finish somewhere between 50-51 minutes, however they’re not up yet. Thanksgiving was spent decorating the Christmas tree and other parts of the house as hubs had to work the …

Fat-O-Meter

11.13.2010

Another great question from Katy B. about something I’ve wanted to talk about for a while. I have struggled with it since at least the fourth grade, and some days, it’s worse than others: I was wondering if you struggle with comparisons. I catch myself trying to figure out if I am bigger or the …

Fail to Plan

11.08.2010

I know countless diet books, gurus and weight loss know-it-alls say this a lot. Let me say it again: “Fail to plan- plan to fail.” Kristina M sent me some food for thought through my writers block comment form, and this one was pretty timely. She says: With the holidays, a lot of people are thinking of ways …

Disclaimer: I’m not a doctor, nutritionist, trainer, exercise physiologist or astrophysicist. I’m just a fat and fit girl typing away. I don’t care when you exercise, just sharing my personal experience! A few people have asked me how I can possibly drag myself out of bed before work to exercise in the morning. Is it insanity? Am I …

Skinny Emmie: Exposed

10.13.2010

Yesterday, all through my tweet stream, I kept seeing all of these favorite bloggers of mine “exposed.” What the heck was this all about? What I saw was AMAZING. They were all posting in response to the anniversary of the Exposed Movement, the brainchild of Mishe, who wanted to celebrate her body instead of tear it …

I Hate Being a Weight Loss Blogger

10.12.2010

Yesterday, I hated being a weight loss blogger. I have shared struggles before. I share victories as often as I can. I share lessons and stories of depression and sleep deprivation. I share. I share for me, to chronicle this long fight to the finish, and I share for others, so they feel …

A Word from the US Surgeon General

10.05.2010

All I hear from the media about obesity is how it is killing us, giving us high blood pressure, diabetes, etc. While this is the case for some, it makes me upset. Am I supposed to feel shamed for being fat? I work out 5 days a week and eat healthy- how are these good …

(Non) Weigh In | 10.4.10

10.04.2010

Another week has past, another week where I have no idea what I weigh! I must say, this no-scale experiment has gone better than expected, however I know that come tomorrow morning I’ll want to hop on and take it for a spin. Don’t worry, I won’t. 1 more week until my weigh in, surely …
