[Trying4Thin]

Shocked and dismayed.....

I was watching the newest episode of the show, "Clean House" when I thought I recognized a familiar face at the family yard sale. My jaw dropped and I was hoping that this had taped several years ago, but I knew in my heart that it hadn't. This person (at the time Biggest Loser) aired didn't have any children. Yet at the yard sale he was carrying a toddler. I recognized the voice and the smile too...

The face I recognized was that of Season 1 winner Ryan Benson. Three years ago after major sweat, pain, and tears; he was able to drop an astounding 122 pounds. His success (as well as many of his competitors that season,) would pave the way for many others to change their lives for the better. But this wasn't Ryan Benson the Biggest Loser winner...this was the Ryan Benson who was now almost 300 pounds.

I can't imagine what could have set him back on the road to being unhealthy again; but I feel for him because I have (and still am there) myself. I can only hope that he can get his mojo back and reclaim the healthy lifestyle he once promised America he would lead.
