It doesn’t look like the Stars, Mike Ribeiro really wants to win this series. Moments after yesterdays loss to the Red Wings, Ribeiro let his emotions get the better of him.  He slashed Red Wings goaltender Chris Osgood across the chest from behind the net.  This will almost definitely cause him to miss at least one [...]

So about a week ago I broke down and bought the Biggest Loser Cookbook - yes I did!  As many of you know I don’t cook.  I mean never.  I hate cooking.  Sure, I heat up, I pop in, and I occasionally “bake” but I never really cook.  So, for me to buy a cookbook takes a lot of prodding.  I had bought my Deceptively Delicious cookbook awhile back and I do use that one, just not as much as I would like.  So I decided to try this cookbook this weekend.  First of all, the cookbook has a little more than just recipes.  There are actual sections to read and learn about how the Biggest Loser Diet actually works and how all the contestants lost the weight and so forth.  So, that was interesting.  But as I got into the recipes I realized

I’m a fan of the new streamlined NFL draft. Thanks to the new time limit, I was able to watch the entire first round while still sober.Which, I have discovered, makes it much easier to report on the draft after that fact. There’s no good way to judge a draft the day after it happens. None of us know how these players are going to turn out. Sometimes the worst picks on draft day end up being the best picks on game day.But like our contemporaries over at ESPN (and in every sports section of every newspaper at every newsstand tomorrow morning), that's not going to stop me from jumping the gun and declaring the winners and losers of draft weekend.

I recently caught the news about the latest Biggest Loser winner (so I'm a little slow - lol.) Ali Vincent is the first woman to ever win the contest and she looks AWESOME - muscular and lean! She lost 112 pounds training between 8-10 hours per day. Man, I just can't imagine doing that! On the one hand, I'm SO inspired by her and on the other hand, I feel like such a loser because it's taken me

~Snooper~Ever since the ABC hosted "final debate" between the two Marxists Hillary and Obama last week, Barack has had an obvious chip on his face that needs to be knocked off. When folks have presidential aspirations, they really should be ready for subjects and circumstances which causes skin to crawl but need to be faced and hammered out as best they can. A President doesn't address issues that he or she chooses to.So, with Barack losing as he did in Pennsylvania, a 10-point spread for Hillary and over 200K in popular votes, Barack lost pretty badly. So, what does he do? According to that mean and nasty ABC, he has thrown a temper tantrum.White House contender Barack Obama has torn into his Democratic rival Hillary Clinton for using terrorism to scare up votes, and Republican John M

Allison Ali Vincent Is The Biggest Loser For the first time in the history of Biggest Loser, a woman took home the winning title. Ali Vincent lost a total of 112 pounds and won the $250,000 grand prize. Allison “Ali” Vincent weighed 234 lbs. when she first went on the show. The 32-year-old hairstylist lost 47.86 percent of her total body w eight, leaving her at 122 lbs. “I’m overwhelmed. I knew I could do it and I did,” she told People magazine. There is no doubt that the transformation is apparent. Congratulations to Allison Vincent who totally changed her life around by losing all that weight. The question is how much of that weight was lost naturally in a way that she can sustain for the rest of her life ? Dropping the weight to win the competition and the prize mon

So, if you haven’t watched the show and don’t know who won then you best skip this post If you already know then you must be so happy!!  Starting at a weight of 234 pounds, Ali lost a stunning 112 pounds to take the title of the Biggest Loser.  The first female contestant to ever win the Biggest Loser!  It was a thrill for everyone - and you could totally tell she knew it that she had won… She gets on the scale and Allison Sweeney said she had to lose 105 pounds - and she kept repeating it like she couldn’t believe that she was going to win… it was a very nice moment for her.  For us, it really shows us that just because we can’t lose weight as fast as men, we can lose more I think I might have told you - I can totally relate to Ali because I’m

Tomorrow night, three people will compete on The Biggest Loser’s season finale for the grand prize of $250,000. Kelly and Ali have already solidified their place in the finale but Mark and Roger have had to wait to find out which one of them will be standing in between them. Both fell behind the yellow line on last week’s episode.With Mark in an air tight alliance with Ali, it seemed certain that Roger would be voted out. In a twist, Alison Sweeney announced that America would decide which one of them will make up the last piece of the final three. The winner of that vote will be announced in the first five minutes of tomorrow night’s live episode. Here’s a closer look at the final four and my pick to win it all on The Biggest Loser!Kelly started the show as the heaviest woman of

I am a loser.A bon-i-fide, confirmed-one-hundred-percent L-O-S-E-R. Now, before you put your 'L' shaped fingers to your forehead and say, "Loser-Loser" in a sing-song voice, let me clarify. I'm not the "Looooser" kind of loser.  You know the ones who let their kids run bare foot thru a store, eat popcorn off the floor and hide in the clothes racks, scaring the willies out of innocent shoppers.   Okay, my kids did this once.  Maybe twice. But you have to go to the store and actually say to your kids, "Okay, go on, let me shop.  Have a snack from the floor and oh, there's a nice lady you can scare. Now, go on and scoot," to be labeled a true "Looooser."   When I say 'loser", I'm referring to my luck, or un-luck as luck would have it. My daughter made this discovery.  Let me t

I KNOW I talk about this show way too much... but man its good. Did you see the amount of weight they all dropped last night? Ali has lost 99 pounds and they all look so amazing... but will they keep it off? I hope so! But damn, that is a lot of weight to lose in such a short time. Roger for instance has lost 144 pounds - DAMN! 5 months and a 144 pounds. And yes, I know they work out for like 4 to 6 hours a day but DAMN! I have recently gotten back on track with my own weight loss. I did get off track, and that's okay... but at least I'm back to walking and eating better. It sucks to be "this" close to summer and feel so crappy about myself. Summer starts early here in North Carolina so basically I'm looking at less than a month before I'm wearing shorts every day and that is a s

This is something a little bit different, here I’m usually blogging on Big Brother, American Chopper or even a little bit on Survivor, however since I’ve been watching the biggest loser for years now and I like the Couples twist this season in the game, this caught my eye, this season has been a season of first's, it’s all about one pound, the extras, like trips that included going down under Australia and one team going to Las Vegas, one player having a second chance by winning their way back in to the game by losing the most weight which for the guys was Mark and for the girls was Ali, but you know, I love it when all of these shows ask for America to get involved by voting something, whether its voting a favorite player back in or voting for a challenge, it’s cool to see just wh

WHO IS A WINNER?To me a person, who decides to do something and then does it, is a winner. At the same time, someoneWho decides not to do something and doesn't do it, is equally a winner.A loser on the other hand decides to do something and doesn't do it or decides not to do somethingBut goes ahead and does it under external pressure and persuasion.WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THESE DEFINITIONS? DO YOU AGREE WITH ME?If you notice carefully, the entire matter of being winner or loser rests on your capability to takeA decision and follow it through. Decision making is a major leadership trait. All successful leadersAre quick decision makers. By quick decision, I don’t mean ones taken impulsively or without receivingAdequate thought. It actually denotes the ability to assess the a situation in all

Terminology ← Older revision Revision as of 01:29, 24 March 2008 Line 28: Line 28: ==Terminology== ==Terminology== - The term ''"the biggest loser"'' is normally intended to be an insult; in this case, however, the term actually refers to the person that loses the most weight. One of the trainers on the show actually once thought earlier that the show was calling fat people "losers", as in an insult, but the sentence ''"the biggest winner is the biggest loser"'' implies that the one person who becomes ''"the biggest loser"'' is the person that wins the competition by losing the most weight. + The term ''"the biggest loser"''Refers to a girl in kitchener ontario named kaitlin owens... she truly is t

No, I'm not talking about his .198 batting avg. this spring. Or his .229 avg. he had last year. I'm talking about his refusal to give up the No. 14 to Morgan Ensberg. Ensberg, who is currently wearing 21, wants to change numbers because as he puts it "I can't wear Paul O'Neill's number." Ensberg also wore No. 14 in high school (where it has been retired), and with the Astros. He even offered Betemit $5000 for the number, but Betemit still said no.Geeez Wilson, it's not like you're playing well with that number anyway.

Do you know how to recognize the winner and the loser? If you don’t know about that try to follow the method. The Winner is always part of the answer; The Loser is always part of the problem. The Winner always has a program; The Loser always has an excuse. The Winner says, "Let me do it for you"; The Loser says, "That is not my job." The Winner sees an answer for every problem; The Loser sees a problem for every answer. The Winner says, “It may be difficult but it is possible"; The Loser says, "It may be possible but i t is too difficult." When a Winner makes a mistake, he says, "I was wrong"; When a Loser makes a mistake, he says, "It wasn't my fault."

Damon Hill, Britain's last world champion, has tipped Lewis Hamilton to resist becoming a 'loser' in 2008 on the back of immense pressure to perform.Hill, the 1996 drivers' title winner for Williams, has been among the most vocal admirers of the 23-year-old's sensational rookie season for McLaren last year, when Hamilton won four races and nearly the championship.But to the Times newspaper, Hill - now boss of British grand prix promoter the BRDC - points out that the flip side of Hamilton's form last year is that "he has created very high expectations and anything less and he's a loser"."It's a case of 'welcome to the sharp end -- in this game there is only one winner'. But he knows that."Lewis is tough and I think he won't disappoint us," Hill added.

Well the first one is all over. Iowa Republicans decided that they want their candidate to tell you all of the crazy shit that they believe, rather than try to hide from it. Go Iowa! Way to stick to that Iowa stubbornness.What really smarts is that the 2002 Salt Lake Olympic Flip-Flop Gold Medalist himself spent about $7 million on ads in Iowa, compared to $1.4 million for the eventual winner Huckabee. He also both raised and spent the most of any GOP contender, including at least $17 million of his own money. That is a lot of cheddar to drop on a silver medal.After being introduced this evening by gold medal speed skater Dan Jansen, Romney said in his concession speech: "Well, we won the silver and congratulations to Gov. Huckabee for winning the gold. Nice job."Romney added: "You win th

~Snooper~Simply amazing. This poor thing is STILL yammering the lies of the Leftinistra and the partakers of the BDS juice. I don't know how many times we have trounced this slog and it STILL repeats the proven to be false rhetoric of the Losers of the Left.Thanks! Its kind is only making it easier for us in '08. Remember...GWB 45 - Libs 0. Amazing.Behold: (the title to the piece is really funny) OFTEN WRONG, NEVER IN DOUBTThat pretty much describes conservatives in America. They have been on the wrong side of so many issues, morally and factually, that I'm amazed the GOP isn't down to 15% in the polls. We can start with the Bush tax cuts, of which Nutbag Kudlow predicted all sorts of great things for the economy. At about the same time, the Bush regime ignored all the warnings about an impending terrorist attack. Subsequently, the Bush regime failed to follow through after overthrowing the Taliban. Worst of all, the invasion of Iraq under false pretences. In Bush's second

Twin brothers are pound-by-pound the biggest winners on NBC's "The Biggest Loser."

He took home the $250,000 grand prize. His brother, Jim, a police officer from Massapequa, N.Y., won the weigh-in among previously eliminated contestants, dropping 186 pounds. He went from 361 pounds to 175 pounds. He earned a $100,000 prize. read more

Over a month ago Candygirlflies at I Can Fly Just Not Up tagged with a meme I was actually excited to do (I'll admit, I'm not a fan of the MEME). I realized it was the same MEME that Rachel at Like a Star tagged me with two months earlier (no, I didn't do it then either). But I got a little sidetracked (I'll blame it on getting locked out of my house shortly thereafter) and never did it. So in efforts to push the Collateral Damage post down a bit (as always, thanks so much for all your words of comfort and support) and to fulfill my blogging obligations, I will share 6 random facts about me:1. I'm obsessed with Britney Spears.Don't ask me why. I was never interested in her life before it became a train wreck. Maybe it's because regardless of what I'm going through I can always say, "At least that's not me" Or maybe it's because we're watching, in real time, what happens to a media darling who's told she's sexy before she's old enough to watch R rated mo

By: Sid Andruska A Change in Plans; Lessons from a Big LoserI remember changing my life more than four years ago. It was a Friday night. Buzzed on a vintage Chianti, I had just devoured several large slabs of cheese pizza. And if memory serves me, some double-stuffed Oreos, too. I lit a cigarette (that’s right, it keeps getting worse), sunk down low and contemplated the future by having some dialogue with my inner fat girl: What’s the plan, lady? When are you going to change your ways? I am so tired of being fat. All the binging on the weekends. And during the week, I starve myself. Monday through Friday, I kill myself at the gym. Because I can barely breathe during my work out (thanks to our two-pack a day habit). And I’m too scared to weigh myself. I mean, why bother; the jeans are just as tight as last week…And then another thought popped into my head like a camera flash. There was this pretty girl who sat across from me at work. She had scrawled the name of a web site on a

Still "Counter Kos" time...Courtesy of Pete Rock and his diary entry on the Daily Kos, my belief that Liberals and Leftists are (or at least have become) extremely sore losers is further confirmed.This is a relatively new pattern that started with...of course...the 2000 Election.Then continued with the 2004 Election and calls that if not for another vast right-wing conspiracy, Kerry would have won.Now, after Costa Rica voted in favor of CAFTA (the free trade agreement with the U.S.), liberals are arguing once again that the vote was rigged.Poor liberals...they're too stupid to realize when people don't buy their "evil America" arguments. Instead, they reduce themselves to the level of Pete Rock and gripe about how (in the name of "big business") the U.S. harms other countries by rigging elections against what the majority wants (any election that doesn't go the Leftist way, that is).Rrrright....

NBC’s weight loss “reality” show Biggest Loser crossed the line this week. I have steadfastly supported the show and the weight loss and have stayed the course in using this as a forum to discuss obesity and the collateral health issues it causes. When a participant turns the whole thing into a complete game and abandons the intent and integrity of the show by gaining 17 pounds in a week, knowing that he had the votes to stay on the show, he is a loser that turned a good, well intended program into a loser. I will continue to blog about the issues but I will not support the program any more. Bottom line. Obesity and the collateral health issues make obtaining life insurance difficult, make life itself difficult, and are a serious subject worthy of a better effort than NBC put forth.

In previous blogs I covered the ABC weight loss reality show Fat March. The mode of operation was to walk 580 miles from Boston to DC. The weight loss was dramatic, but I mentioned in more than one post that it seemed that the single focus exercise and the brutal amount of it was probably not the kind of balanced approach that most trainers would recommend. With Biggest Loser the process is more well rounded, and the weight loss not nearly as dramatic on a weekly basis, but in the long haul I think we will see overall results that are dramatic and the participants will come away with a better knowledge of physical fitness and how to maintain it. Having said that, again, the drama and game of the show is not my focus. Obesity carries some very heavy baggage with it in the form of collateral health issues. Losing weight can be what it takes to avoid diabetes, heart disease or cancer. My only goal in following Biggest Loser is to call attention to those health issues and how weight and we

Irena Sendler, a 97 year-old polish woman is certainly a hero. She and a handful of other women saved 2,500 Jewish children from the Nazi death camps in World War II. While risking her own life, she smuggled children out of the ghetto in an ambulance, using false documents with forged signatures.When she was captured, she was brutally tortured and had her legs broken, crippling her for life. Nevertheless, she managed to survive her horrible ordeal, and never gave up on the Jewish children she helped save. In fact, many of the children did not know their true identities when they reach adulthood, so Irena Sendler buried their real identification in jars underground, which she disclosed to many of them years later. Some of them were even able to reunite with lost relatives.Well, Irena Sendler at 97 years of age was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize. But, Al Gore decided he should lobby against her. With his millions of dollars of hard lobbying, he won the award for creating a pr

Rolling Stone Ronnie Wood has urged troubled star Amy Winehouse to ditch her husband Blake Fielder-Civil. The guitarist has lost countless music industry friends to drug addictions throughout the years - and fears Winehouse will head the same way if she doesn't start surrounding herself with "winners."

Dating is hard and establishing a basis for a lasting relationship is no easy feat. There are so many things to look at and many hurdles to overcome. Just when you think you may have landed a prince, you wake up and realize you have kissed a frog. YUCK!!!Hard decisions are a part of life. Here are 7 more in my list of behaviors and attitudes you should never ever tolerate in any man. You know in your heart you should drop him. There is always that nagging sense of doubt. With this list that follows my previous seven signs, again I am going to reference a song that covers the sentiments of dealing with and breaking off a relationship with a loser. Paul Simon sang it best in his hit song from the mid 1970 era called 50 Ways to Leave Your Lover.If the guy you are involved does any of this, it is time to re-evaluate fast!1. Does he listen to you? Does your opinion matter? Does he respect what you think? If not, let the relationship go.2. Is he one to humiliate you? Does he think it is funn

A lot more weight loss this week. They did it while on vacation in Jamaica. Congratulations to all of them. I can tell you that I’ve certainly never lost weight on a tropical vacation. Again, the drama and game of the show is not my focus. Obesity carries some very heavy baggage with it in the form of collateral health issues. My only goal in following Biggest Loser is to call attention to those health issues and how weight and weight loss impact life insurance rates. My disclaimer. There is an assumption as I provide quotes that there are no underlying health issues. Because insurance companies reward long term weight loss, there will be an assumption that the weight loss has been kept off for more than a year. All life insurance quotes are for $250,000 of 20 year term insurance. I will be using the company that will make the best offer at any given height and weight. All quotes will be yearly premiums.

It’s no secret that I am a fan of the Biggest Loser TV show. I have heard a lot of people bashing it, saying that it doesn’t reflect real life. Citing that no one can workout 5 hours and day, have personal trainers at every workout and that the losses aren’t realistic. Well that may be somewhat true, I think that the inspiration, motivation and awareness it raises about weight loss and adopting a healthy lifestyle far out weight any flaws it might have. I purchased the Biggest Loser Cookbook a while ago and I’ve been very impressed with it ever since. (you can read my review of it here) Over the next few weeks I will be posting some of my favorite recipes from it. Try this one out and let me know what you think. Energizing Bacon and Egg Breakfast Burrito Ingredients 3 large egg whites 1 strip Turkey Bacon, chopped ¼ cup of chopped onion 2 Tbsp of chopped tomato 1 (8 inch) whole wheat tortilla ¼ cup shredded light cheddar cheese 2 Tsp red taco sauce In a small skillet over me

Courtesy of Pete Rock and his diary entry on the Daily Kos, my belief that Liberals and Leftists are (or at least have become) extremely sore losers is further confirmed.This is a relatively new pattern that started with...of course...the 2000 Election.Then continued with the 2004 Election and calls that if not for another vast right-wing conspiracy, Kerry would have won.Now, after Costa Rica voted in favor of CAFTA (the free trade agreement with the U.S.), liberals are arguing once again that the vote was rigged.Poor liberals...they're too stupid to realize when people don't buy their "evil America" arguments. Instead, they reduce themselves to the level of Pete Rock and gripe about how (in the name of "big business") the U.S. harms other countries by rigging elections against what the majority wants (any election that doesn't go the Leftist way, that is).Rrrright....

While driving around today, I found myself listening to some talk radio. In front of me, there was a car with a bumper sticker that read, “If your living like there is no god, you had better be right!” Next to that, another bumper sticker that read, “WARNING: In case of the rapture, this car will become unmanned.” Next to that car was another vehicle with a solitary sticker that read, “Praise Allah.” I have been asked Pascal’s Wager so many times in my life that I no longer want to dignify it with an answer.  So, for now, I would like to turn the tables a bit and ask you something. What makes you so sure that YOUR god (which isn’t really your god, but rather the one which you have been taught) is THE god? “Well, the Bible says,” or “The Qu’ran says,” doesn’t really apply here. After all, those books are claimed to have been inspired by their respective gods. I don’t really expect to turn the las

I’ve been following NBC’s reality weight loss show Biggest Loser from a life insurance and health education view point. This had to be a tough week psychologically on the participant’s, as there was a lot of hard work going on and very few dropped any significant weight. Hopefully Dr Jen , the Biggest Loser doctor, will address the physiological reason for this plateau. Based on my limited knowledge of the dynamics of weight loss through diet and strength training, these kind of plateaus happen because loss of fat is offset at times by by the gain in muscle mass. Because of the small weight loss this week, from a life insurance perspective, there was not a lot of gains to be made. For this week I will post the new weights and leave the life insurance premiums alone. I suspect next week will see a lot of people falling off of that plateau and significant weight drops and life insurance rate drops will occur. My disclaimer. There is an assumption as I provide quotes th

A German pensioner who scooped £2million on the lottery has turned down the cash saying he didn't know what to do with it. I know old people seem to hate the new 5ps, but I didn't think they hated all money. Can he really not think of anything to do with it? Even if it was just buying prunes (old people do a lot of that). With his wife dead, and no children or other relatives to pass the money on to, the man told German lottery officials: "What would I do with so much money? I don't want it." Dude, I have two words for you... Gold digger. Oh, imagine the fun you could've had. [[ This is a content summary only. Visit www.newsplus.co.nr for full links, other content, and more! ]]

Today I officially won the LOSER Parent of the Year Award. Princess had her first dentist visit today and has 7 CAVITIES! She just turned 5 years old. I didn’t have a cavity until I was well into my 20’s…what gives?!? This is my first child. She’s the sheltered one. The one who didn’t even know what chocolate was until well past her second birthday. The one who had whipped cream and blueberries on her first birthday cake because I didn’t want to expose her to the evils of sugar. She hasn’t even begun losing her baby teeth and her molars are rotting away. I know what you’re thinking…brush the kid’s teeth every once in a while, will ya?! She brushes her teeth every morning and evening (with her Princess toothbrush…the one that spins). She’s even recently gotten into flossing and swishing around a fluoride rinse. She has barely had more than a sip of soda in her entire 5 years and doesn’t really eat many sw

I made a day trip to a local Indian casino yesterday and once there, remembered why we don't do it more often. It's extremely crowded; navigating slot machine aisles proves difficult without constantly bumping into others searching for empty machines. Eager players stand behind those already seated, waiting for their credits to disappear. Finally, I find a machine and plop on the stool, still warm from the last person's rear end. I begin playing and glance at my neighbors. A petite Asian lady plays to my left, repeatedly moving her hand across the screen with every spin. A big white guy plays to my right. He is about 25, with a shaved head covered with small beads of perspiration. A girl stands by his side, biting her fingernail. He bangs his fist on the spin button again and again. Suddenly, he stands to go. As he does, a short older Asian lady inserts her player's card into his machine before he cleared the chair:Man: Hey! You fuckin' bitch! You greedy bitch! Wait!(He snatches h

A comment from Katie on my first Biggest Loser post asked, “what would be the rate the trainers would pay? so what is the difference between a trainer and a contestant’s payment, when both are the same height?” I responded, ” Katie, Since I don’t know the trainers ages, what I can do is post the best attainable rate for each of the participants assuming they met the weight requirement for the best rate class. Great question and I would be glad to add the trainers if I knew their ages and actual weights.” I think the meat of the question was what kind of rates could a person get if they were fit enough to obtain the best rates. Using the participants still on the show, those rates would be as follows for $250,000 of 20 year term. In parentheses, the weight they would have to be at. Blue Team Jerry, $1702.00 (201#) Kae, $135.00 (153#) Neil, $145.00 ((216#) Nicole, $135.00 (166#) Patty, $135.00 (182#) Ryan, $147.00 (193#) Red Team Amy, $135.00 (170#) Bryan, $14

O.J., after were found not guilty of not murdering Nicole Brown-Simpson and Ron Goldman, why did you just not go away? I mean, far away?Well, one of the most infamous men right now in America, O.J. Simpson has once again found himself in hot water and in legal trouble.According to CNN & the AP, "Investigators questioned O.J. Simpson and named him a suspect today in a confrontation at a casino hotel room involving sports memorabilia. The former football star acknowledged going to the room to get property he said was stolen from him but denied breaking in."Oh joy.From what I know, he really does not work and draws money from an NFL pension, plus other interests.Dude, just go away.

If you happen to be reading this at work, my apologies for the PG-13 headline. Seriously though, you shouldn’t be reading this. Get back to work. The ever humorous gapingvoid.com blog had a post entitled “Why We’re All Blogging Less”. Reason number 4: Believe it or not, some of us have better things to do than to be continually justifying ourselves to a crowd of passive-aggressive, self-loathing, loser fucktards. Thankfully these folk are a minority, but their one skill-set in life seems to be in the less-than-noble art of “using up too much oxygen”. Which makes “Engaging in The Conversation” a lot less appealing for the others. Life is short. That may sound quite harsh, but I think it’ll come as a surprise to some folks that many blog audiences are less than kind. As a web geek, I read my fair share of graphic design and web development forums and blogs daily. Often the comment areas of same devolve into nothing short of all-

In my life I have the joy and pleasure of helping others to achieve their goals and ambitions. I regularly get calls from people who have attended one of my seminars or who have bought one of my products telling me that they have doubled or trebled their sales. Whilst this is personally gratifying I have long wondered what it is that actually changes for these individuals that propels them to get these phenomenal results… As many of my seminars are purely mindset / motivation based it’s often not the skills (important as they are) , it’s usuall some element of mindset, but what? What is that empowers some individuals to walk out and double their sales virtually over night? My opinion is that people who get instantaneous results are the ones who manage to locate and destroy sales loser beliefs that are holding them back from what they want to achieve. This 10-step exercise will help you to find and remove any limiting beliefs that are stopping you from achie

By Brodie Heinrichsen The biggest loser is a reality based TV show that became a world wide phenomenon. The premise behind the show was to showcase obese and over weight contestants competing against one another to achieve a physical transformation. Each week the contestants were presented with challenges or a test of will power. For example: If the contestant would eat something sweet but extremely high in calorie they would be able to contact a loved one. Or a prize would be offered if they ate a giant slice of cake. It all came down to temptation and who could over come it.If you had ever bothered to watch any of the seasons of the biggest loser then you would know who Bob Harper is. For those of you who don’t Bob Harper is the fitness trainer that appears on the reality TV show in order to motivate the contestants to work harder with strength and aerobic training. One of the major benefits of being a member of the Biggest Loser Club is the fact that you can directly connect with

It’s a rumor that started locally, and now seems to be spreading like wildfire. That rumor is that the loser in the Cleveland Browns QB battle between Charlie Frye and Derek Anderson will be either released or traded. That rumor even showed up right here on NFLGridironGab.com as Browns play-by-play man Jim Donovan said as such in his interview with us on “Gridiron Gabbin” on Wednesday. Donovan said that the organization wants to keep Ken Dorsey around, but cannot possibly keep four quarterbacks, meaning that the loser of Frye and Anderson will be sent packing. To start, Anderson was given the role of starting during what was a very strong series of mini camps. He seemed to have a grip on the position, but then as training camp started, he seemed to fall behind Frye, and now it looks as with three preseason games left, Frye has the spot, for now, locked up. If that lasts or not, is anyones guess. The wildcard in the whole thing is Brady Quinn, rookie QB that eve

The Revelations - You're The Loser"That's good enough, good enough for anyone but me"This song is itunes Australia's free track of the week, even though this girl group is from the UK. For those missing The Pipettes, you should definitely listen to The Revelations. They're an old fashioned Phil Spector-ish girl group in every sense of the word. More importantly, You're The Loser is a short, punchy blast of pop harmonies and sugary melodies. I'm not sure if it's necessarily a "revelation," but it is a welcome summer distraction.The Revelations - You're The Loser (mp3) (zshare)(Music posted for evaluation purposes only.

Well LoserLulu broke Spinelli's heart not once but twice today. First She told the Jackal about wanting to get giggi with the unworthy one (gross Lulu TMI) and then didn't trust Spin when he told her that Logan was caught making out with Maxie.Did she just say she wants to do WHAT with Logan?----We start the day of carnage with the Lulu finishing up with telling Spinelli she would like to know Logan in a more physical way. GROSS. Yuck. Who tells a friend who you know has got feelings for you that. LoserLulu indeed.Poor sweet Spinelli panicked when he realized that Lulu was falling for the unworthly one and came up with a very 'soap' reason for why Lulu and Logan can't get together.. (that they are really siblings) Spinelli Spinelli.. Spinelli.. Laura could never have contributed to Logan's DNA. Poor sweet Spinelli. He beg for forgiveness as soon as he realized the idea was stupid ad that Lulu (soon to be LoserLulu) was not buying it. (points for creativity though)This is jus
