Have you went to therapy at all? (I shared some of my thoughts and story about therapy and didn’t ask it this abrupt, but this post isn’t about me.) RER: What about the emotional part of weight loss. I’m so excited and passionate about it! This is a new beginning for me. It’s hard work here but I feel like I’m much smarter about this.
Krueger: I was dying, there was no other choice. RER: You mentioned losing weight and gaining it back. The cardiologist said if I didn’t get it under control I would die.
I was to a point in my life with the health stuff where I was going to die. I just felt like it was good for me to stay. They would have let me go home, but it’s hard when you’re doing this to go and come back.
The Ridge has been amazing with this, letting me be the driver of this journey. RER: What made you want to go the ranch for 6 months? That’s a lot of time to be away from family and friends! I kinda think we’re friends now and I’m rooting for her! Here is some of the best parts of our conversation: Margie and I talked on the phone for over an hour about weight loss, running, food and the Biggest Loser Resort (she was there when we chatted). Margie was 400 pounds at her highest weight but started to get healthy in 2006 and lost 200 pounds! Unfortunately, she wasn’t able to keep the weight off and is now using this opportunity as a second chance to change her life for good. Krueger won the Biggest Loser’s Second Chance Contest on Facebook and the prize is a six month stay to their Utah resort. Recently I had the opportunity to talk with Margie Krueger who started her weight loss journey at 400 pounds and has been working her way down down down to a weight loss success story! Margie is losing weight the the Biggest Loser Resort at Fitness Ridge, a company rep hooked me up with her to discuss her journey. that’s pretty much my only favorite things right now. I also nailed a new hummustard salad dressing recipe! It has all my favorite things hummus, Sriracha and nope. So when I got back in my car after my run I was happy to find the gallon of water I had left there from my last road trip to Paso Robles.
This morning was kinda random and I forgot my water bottle (never happens).
