The end is near.... Biggest Loser

So i started this weight loss journey on January 5th - with the rest of the contestants on the biggest loser and although their season was over last week - our competition is going on for another 9 days [trust me i am counting down the days until this competition is over].

you can read about my initial weight loss here, here and here
As of today I am down 10.7% since I started this competition - and I honestly feel better than ever... and not only have i been able to tell that i look as if I have lost weight - but people have been mentioning it to me as well - talk about a confidence booster! but the end is near and I want to make sure that I give it my best effort so.....

for the next 9 days [which is about 200 hours - it sounds much less daunting when you put it in perspective of hours ] I will be doing low carb and really watching my intake of sodium- [goodbye everything delicious - i will miss you!]

i'm hoping that this will help me drop the extra needed few pounds to win...
but this is where I need YOU bloggy friends
do you have any quick tricks in loosing weight? like a "miracle food" that boosts your metabolism? or something that helps keep your mind of the delicious foods that you can eat??? any help would be much appreciated!

and yes the thought has crossed my mind - MANY times of sending the same candy bars they had in mean girls to the other top competitors and wish them well - no one said i wasn't competitive.. a girls gotta do what a girls gotta do to win - right?!!?

So until next Saturday - its crunch time... here's to no carbs [bread, pretzels, beer], low sodium food and LOTS and LOTS of running...

i will post beginning and ending pictures next Saturday
