The scale is only part of the story

We are one-third of the way through The Lab’s Biggest Loser and Cyndi Lou’s Losers show no signs of slowing down. At the conclusion of Week Four, our team has lost a total of 53.6 pounds, and two of them have reached their five percent milestone already. As a team, they have lost 2.77 percent of their total starting body weight. Those are pretty impressive numbers, right?

But that is only part of the story.

This team has an amazing chemistry. I’ve never seen eight people come together as easily and beautifully as they have. It doesn’t matter if it’s only two of them or if all of them are there; in any configuration or number, they work together so well in the weight room or in a group fitness class. They give it 100 percent every time they’re in here. They joke around, challenge each other, and motivate each other. Some have even engaged in some good old-fashioned trash talk. Believe me, they are a VERY entertaining group.

The scale only tells a small portion of the life changing events that have already occurred for my Cyndi Lou’s Losers–my platoon members and my friends.

• One member has decreased blood sugar levels by almost HALF and is cutting back on the amount of insulin required on a daily basis.

• One member wore a beautiful blouse last week that she hasn’t been able to fit into for months.

• One member has inspired their spouse to join them for workouts. Talk about setting a good example!

Most importantly, ALL of them are sleeping better, feeling better about themselves, and feeling more confident in life. They have made daily exercise a habit. If they miss a workout… well, they get downright cranky (much like their trainer!). They are all looking for ways to live healthier. Never has my job been so easy. They virtually coach themselves!!!

I’m so proud of each person on my team. Go, Cyndi Lou’s Losers!
