September 3, 2010

According to the rules and guidelines of Atlanta's Biggest Loser, the contest ran from August 16, 2010 and ends on September 3, 2010. If I was chosen as a semi-finalist, I would be notified by phone on that day. If I did not answer my phone, then they would move on to another eligible candidate. Fortunately, I put my cell phone on my application.

My cell phone never left my side all morning at work. Where I went, it went as well. By lunch time, I had received no phone call so I assumed like always, I was not one of the lucky semi-finalists.

After lunch I checked my personal email from my work desk and there was this interesting looking email. The subject line was "Congratulations! Atlanta's Biggest Loser!" I am thinking to myself, "No way, this has to be a 'thank you for applying, but' letter." I opened the mail and to my amazement it went on to say, "Congratulations! You've been selected as one of our semi-finalists for Atlanta's Biggest Loser!" Needless to say, the tears began to flow. I could not believe it. No way, I was selected as a semi-finalist!

I was told in the letter that I had to go to the studios of 11Alive TV on September 9th for an interview to see if I will be chosen as one of the 12 finalists to compete in the program. As luck would have it, I am on vacation this week. Whoo Whoo

I plan on being one of the 12 finalists and when chosen, I WILL win the competition. They supply a trainer and food while you are competing. I will lose more than any former winner - last year Joan Clipp won and lost 60 pounds. Can we say Kriss will lose at minimum 65? Oh yes she will. Wait and see.
