Fat Camp

My sister, Katie, and I were lucky enough to go to the newest
Biggest Loser Resort at Fitness Ridge in Malibu.

We were quite nervous before we got there. Wondering if our bodies could handle everything, but we went and after spending the week there, I must say, they do not joke around. From sun-up to sun-down you are working out, or talking about working out.

This is the group exercise room. There was also a gym with cardio and weight equipment and a pool.

Here is the lovely dining room, where we ate all of our gourmet meals.

(This was Katie's favorite spot. She just got so excited waiting to see what came next.)

Me and Katie with Daris.

We met a few people from the show while we were there. Daris was so great, and had the best attitude. Danny was there and so nice, and so was Michael. He wasn't so great.
Oh yeah, Sam and Stephanie stopped by. They are still together, cute!
Our day was spent:
Breakfast
Morning hike-2 hours, 4-6 miles
Group exercise class-1 hour
Lunch, Lecture
Group exercise classes-3 hours
Dinner, Lecture
We ate no more than 1200 calories per day. The schedule seems overwhelming, but there is no time to stop and think about it so you just keep going.
One of our hikes ended up on Zuma beach. (The beach where Baywatch was filmed.)

We hiked around some waterfalls, saw some interesting stuff and pretended like we were enjoying ourselves.

Our hiking group.


Our fave hiking guide, Zoe. She was out of control and has been on a number of reality shows, by accident.

While we were there, we were lucky enough to tour the Biggest Loser set.
In front of the gym with our fat camp bff's, Russ and Mandi.

Cam was our tour guide. Michelle and Cam have done an amazing job building their business and we owe our wonderful week to them!

Chillin' in the BL living room.

In Dr. H.'s office. Katie is holding a pound of fat, and I never want to see a measuring tape in relation to my body ever again.

And on the giant scale.
Everyone at the resort reffered to us as, "the sisters", which was a relief because we thought everyone was going to think we were a lesbian couple.
It was pretty obvious we were related once we showed everyone our synchronized swimming routines in the pool.
We had a great time, it was just amazing to me that my body kept going, and I only wanted to cry three times.
