In two weeks, Scott and I are flying to Los Angeles for a week. Here is why:
As some of you may know, we went to Vegas in 2007 for a live casting call for the Biggest Loser. Two days after we got back, we got a call asking us to come to Los Angeles the next day! But, since we'd just spent all our money on our travels to and from Vegas, we couldn't go to L.A.! I was SO disappointed. We wanted to be on the show SO badly! And we had to pass on what might have actually been our shot!

Well, there is another casting call on March 14 in L.A.! We decided to use our tax refund to fly to L.A. and go to the casting call!!! I am SO excited!
It's weird, but watching Biggest Loser this season has been really emotional for me. I don't really know why. I feel like I relate to Kristin a lot. I don't weigh as much as she did when she started (although she weighs less than me now!!) But her reason for losing weight is to have a baby. That is one of my key reasons too. I feel like if I lose the weight, then I'll have a better shot at having a baby. I also feel like I'm a lot like Kristin. I think if I were to meet her, we'd be good friends, because our personalities are so much alike! She is such an amazing inspiration to me, also. Tonight when she weighed in, she had lost 10 more lbs, and she started talking about how she used to sit and home and watch the show, and want what these people were getting: a life transformation. I just started to cry! I know I'm a nerd, crying at a reality show, but that is exactly what it is. Reality. For me, I constantly battle with my weight. And it's HARD. I feel like everything that goes wrong in my life is somehow related to my being overweight. That may or may not be the case. But I can't help but feel like if I were a normal size, an average size, that things might just be easier.
Kristin Steede- Season 7, from Wisconsin.
The past two years, as I've hit my heaviest weight, I've started to come to the realization that this is my life battle. I've also decided that I am done. And here's the thing. I CAN do it on my own. I've done it before. I lost that 70 lbs in 6 months in 2003. But it is so much harder for me to do it on my own. Scott and I both want this SO bad, and I know there really isn't that great of a chance for us to actually make it on the show, (I mean, they see hundreds of people a week for like 4 or 5 weeks!) but we're going to give it our all and hope for the best. I know that being on a show like The Biggest Loser would change my life, and that's what I need. I am stuck in this rut and I feel like I can't claw my way out of it without some serious help.
I watch Bob and Jillian kick trash every week, and I just want it to be my trash they're kicking! Honestly, I succeed so much better when I have someone cracking a whip over my head. I know if Scott and I got on the show, we would win it! Without a DOUBT! Especially if we're working together.

Anyway, I just thought I would let you in on this information. Wish us luck!!!

That is so cool! I hope you guys get on the show! It is hard to lose weight, but I know that you two can do it. I am just so excited for you guys! Keep us updated! :)
GOOD LUCK! I watched the show a lot this season and you aren't the only one who cried. I cried on a couple episodes as well. That would be so neat if you two made it. I'll be rootin' for you!!
Wahoo!!! I love that show too. I have a ton of friends that come over to watch it every week. We are always crying. I hope to see you on the show. That would be way fun to see someone I know.
Good luck! That is awesome and I hope they are smart enough people to know to pick you two. I will have to watch the show just to show you my support and cheer you on.
Aaahh! That would be so cool if you get on! I think you guys would be AWESOME for the show. How could you NOT win?! You'd have everyone wrapped around your hilarious finger and they couldn't vote you off! Good luck with the auditions! I hope they go well. And if they don't, that's OK too. I'm still a fan. And you will have a fun trip, too. Keep us posted!!!
Allison, you are awesome. I would cry about biggest loser too. It is really hard to loose weight. I always feel like I at least need someone to help me get the ball rolling and then I can do the rest. I am so excited for you and really hope you make it on to the show. I do think that you and Scottie would totally win! Good luck!
