Biggest Loser has been a favorite show of ours for many seasons. We have grown attached to Bob and Jillian, though Nikky is slightly afraid of Jillian. We had talked about how awesome it would be to actually go and live on the Biggest Loser ranch and be rockstars on the show. Though we know we would shine and likely win it all (yes, we are very humble) we didn't think it feasible to leave school in the middle of the year. And let's face it, that is so not good for the kiddos. And then there's Alice, who would miss her mom and her best friend way too much. Needless to say, there were hurdles that were too hard to jump over. And so, our dream of being the Biggest Losers seemed destined to stay unfulfilled...
A seed was planted and an idea began forming in the heart and mind of Camille. She had this epiphany moment where she started looking into weightloss resorts for the average joe.Utah and California seemed like the only options available to pursue this thought. Camille thought (insert thought bubbles here) "Hmmmm, who can I convince to go on this crazy adventure with me, cause I sure as heck can't do it on my own...?!" There was one and only person to sell this crazy idea to and the choice was obvious...Nikky!
After a total of 2 conversations Nikky was sold-though hesitant about going out of state and being gone so long. She kept saying she wanted to go someplace in the Midwest, but when the thought entered their minds, there was no place available. Then the "Where Are They Now?" Biggest Loser episode aired and featured Fitness North, a camp started by Biggest Loser alum O'Neil and his business partner Sheryl. Seconds later Nikky was on the phone with Camille..."Guess What?!" A couple of days later the rational one (Camille) called Fitness North and signed them both up for the adventure of a lifetime.
Though we had no idea how we were going to pay for this, we took the leap and signed up and put our trust in the Lord. With prayer over this opportunity we pursued leads we learned about through insurance and tax credits. And now here we are, a few days from leaving and everything is paid for and all costs are covered!! PRAISE THE LORD.
So, now you know what lead us to take this adventure. The Sisterhood of the Shrinking Pants is our way to invite you to be a part of this amazing and slightly terrifying journey. We want to share our joys and tears as well with you, our friends and family. We are so anxious to see all we are going to learn in this "jumpstart month". This is just the beginning. This is our giant leap into changing our lives and shrinking our pants.
