Biggest Loser Brittany

I had the oddest phone conversation yesterday afternoon.  It was Kevin and he was excitedly telling me that he was going to win the Burpee Challenge Photo Contest!  The deadline for the contest is Sunday so I was very curious what he had up his sleeve.  He then told me how we sent a myspace message to Brittany from The Biggest Loser Season 5 asking if she would mind helping him out… and she called him back!  She agreed to come out to Kevin’s in her Biggest Loser gear to make a short video for the contest, she even brought her “steamy Hot” banner and told us the funny story behind it.  Kevin asked that we come out too since he knows we are big fans of the show and also he needed a “videographer”… I happily agreed.

Most of you who have read my blog know that I love The Biggest Loser, aside from watching the show, I also have four BL DVD’s, two of which helped spark my interest in fitness this year, and I’ve read several BL books.  Brittany and her partner Bernie are my all-time favorites ever on the show.  I knew she was a local girl, in fact, Ramses and I saw her at the Perris Fair last month.  We didn’t want to bother her so we didn’t say “hi” but Ramses kicked himself in the butt afterward thinking he should have asked her to do burpees with him for the contest!

Kevin asking her to come out was really an odd coincidence and the fact that she agreed was just awesome!  We all chatted a bit, did the burpee video, and then chatted some more.  She talked to us about what it was like for her on the show and how her life is now after it.  It was so fun to hear all the little details about a show I like so much.  She was so gracious and down-to-earth.  She joked about how she was afraid to come out to a stranger’s house and how glad she was that Kevin wasn’t a creep.  Meeting her was an amazing experience and I am even more inspired to make these changes in my life!
