Thanks to the “Be the Biggest Loser at Home” Challenge by Multigrain Cheerios.
Congratulations to Colleen at Shibley Smiles who will be attending the
season finale of “The Biggest Loser: Couples” in Los Angeles.
I’m so excited and it has been so hard keeping it in. On April 11th I missed a phone call while away from my desk. When I returned I googled the number and found it was a MN number. My heart almost stopped. I knew that General Mills was located in MN and that a winner was going to be selected on or around April 6th and notified via phone. I tried not to get to excited when I pushed the button to listen to the voice mail. When the woman’s voice came on and said she was calling on behalf of General Mills and the Be the Biggest Loser at Home Challenge I almost fell out of my chair.
I wanted to seriously say a HUGE THANK YOU to General Mills for this awesome opportunity. Both my husband and I will be traveling to LA on 5/23 to watch the Biggest Loser Finale Live on 5/24 and returning home on 5/25.
You may not remember my post or maybe you didn’t even realize it was a contest entry. Lucky for me that it was and it won! Here is the original entry.
Dear Excess Fat,
We have been co-habitats for a long time now. You have been of great comfort, especially when I sit, and have shown that you are tough flabby and will hang on for dear life. I appreciate your efforts but feel this relationship is one-sided. I’m sorry for my lack of enthusiasm over your guts”o” gusto, and support. Please accept this as my official letter of intent to sever our relationship for GOOD!
With the help of MultiGrain Cheerios and the MultiGrain website I intend to show you just how serious I am. (You will be served by a nutritionist soon.) She assures me by adding MultiGrain Cheerios, with its 16 grams of whole grain, into my diet, I will finally rid myself of your constant clinginess. You will not be able to hold on to me any longer. With the help of my new trainer’s Bob and Ali I will be receiving daily tips to keep me on track. I know this is not going to be easy for you, or for me. Trust me it is the best thing for the both of us. The delicious recipes I will be eating are not good for you, they starve you while feeding me.Take my warning and leave as soon as possible!
My cardio and strength training workouts will only weaken you and strengthen me. My desire to rid myself of you has never been so strong. Each daily goal met will bring me one step closer to this necessary action against you. Without you I will become healthy and you will become useless! I will be The Biggest Loser At Home. With MultiGrain Cheerios in my corner we will win this fight!
Your Unwilling Host,
Colleen Shibley
