Update for mom
Suzie and Debbie are crying foul!! They did not trick mom into anything, or even tempt her, but she willingly went the way of the dark side for that fried chicken!
but it's OK, they all walked two miles today and had delicious salads for lunch at The Cheesecake Factory, minus the cheesecake!
We'll forgive you this time, but any more infractions and we'll kick you off the course!!

Beginning weight for mom
Ok, Here is Mom's weight! 235 lbs.
Here's where it gets funny! Since Suzie is in town, the Peanut Gallery has been less than helpful in Moms pursuits, tempting her with Fried Chicken and candy! But mom is trying to be strong by excercising everday on the bike and eating well when she can...I guess we won't count those 2 pieces of fried chicken, AND THAT BAG OF CHEETOS!!!
Listen up Peanut Gallery, kick it into shape!! Mom has a long way to go, and from what I can tell, Darlene is the only one without her hand in the cookie jar!!

Day 3...still rollin'
I've been exercising every day....eating my nurtisystem food and actually enjoying it! The exercise video that I've been using I'm recommending that Susan use it too! It's not terribly strenuous but it burns calories and I walk 2 miles in my living room. The fun part is Marlie is working out with me and so it is becoming a family venture..well, I can't say as much for Josh. He still doesn't have a plan. I guess he's gonna owe me!

The Peanut Gallery
So Mom believes she's found her edge in the competition and we're calling them the Peanut Gallery. Debbie, Darlene, and Suzie have all signed on to help mom win by any means possible. They will be working hard with her, monitoring her progress and cheering her along! They each bring different assets to the mix that will whip mom into shape.
In California, mom has the support of the DOUBLE D'S (When you got double d's, you got the best support in town). Darlene is the Aerobo-bot! She kicks butt in class and is hoping to fire up mom in the exercise arena. Darlene has the motivation and the tools burn those calories, we just hope she can carry mom along with her! Next is Debbie. We're counting on her to pass along her dietary self control to mom. If anyone is going to keep moms eating on track, it will be Little Debbie. Now don't be fooled, Little Debbie likes her sweet treats too, but Debbie, if you're reading this, Mom is counting on you...we're counting on you...no pressure!!
Rounding out the Peanut gallery is Suzie, all the way in Utah. Now, even though she's far away, don't think her voice won't be heard! Suzie is hardcore and she'll tell it like it is! She's incredibly influential and seriously motivated. She knows just the right balance of cracking the whip, but also making you feel good about yourself!
So mom, best of luck to you! Your hens, Wait! I mean, FRIENDS will be there to help and support you. Enjoy your success and we're all rooting for ya!
p.s. A little advice for the Peanut Gallery. We all know mom to be "The Great Tempter" but you keep her under control. Her influence to indulge can be great, but do not get sucked in! Hold your ground and show her the light!

Here it goes!
So, I don't have any pictures to add, or maybe I'm not as brave as April, but here is the beginning weight...208.4 lbs. Seeing as this is the first time in my life I have been over 200, I'm pretty motivated. So, outta my way....new jeans, here I come!
Day 1
So here goes everything. You Thompson's don't know who you are dealing with. This Frazier-Thompson is going to rock your world. Talk about self control bring it on! So it's all out in the open right? Well I just weighed in on day 1. 264.5 pounds. I can hardly believe it. I knew my butt had spread but not that far. Looking forward to each week of creaming the competition! Much love and competition! April

The Challenge Begins
Call it greed, or call it determination, either way, the Thompson family is ready to rumble. Starting on February 25, it will be every Thompson for himself (or Barnes for that matter) in a family wide competition set to see who can lose the largest body weight percentage in a six month period. And what’s at stake? $200 in cash to be given to the winner.
The first opponent to enter the competition is Bill Thompson, or as we know him, dad! He is probably the most formidable opponent as he has recently lost 150 lbs and competed in two STP bike races. He has a strict diet and works out more than all of us combined. But will he buckle under the pressure, or will his advanced age get the best of him?
Next in line is mom. No one would ever accuse her of depriving herself of the tasty and decedent things in life. But she swears she’s committed and dad will be there to help. And as long as Buffy is playing and the bike is set up, she will be working hard. What could be her downfall? Luckily, we are all aware of mom’s weaknesses for Coke and dining out.
Now we come to the Utah gang. Josh and April are hoping to double team the family with eating right and hitting it hard at the gym. But while they’ll be working hard together, individually they both have assets they hope to use against everyone else. April is unique in the Thompson clan…she actually LIKES her vegetables. She prefers healthy eating and loves to be active outdoors. Josh has the benefit of a male metabolism. For him, eating a little bit better and exercising a little bit more shows quick results. But keep in mind, Josh also works at one of the best restaurants in town. The creamy side dishes and delightful desserts are hard to pass up! Not to mention the dietary requirements of the two little girls, which often involve McDonald’s hamburgers and cheesy goldfish. How will they bode? We’ll see in August.
Next to enter the ring is Micky. Even though she continues her busy lifestyle with hair styling and restaurant service, she is well known for having amazing self control when she sets her mind to it. She loves organic products and enjoys a gourmet pallet. But her busy lifestyle could hinder her efforts in eating well and exercising. Can she rally her self control to bag herself the prize?
Now we go back to the California corner of the ring to the Barnes. They’re hoping the stars will align to take the “Thompson” victory, and will work hard to make it so. Dave benefits from the same male metabolism that Josh enjoys. He has previously had a passion for early morning running and hopes to find the motivation with this challenge to take up that hobby again. Maybe the Barnes blood can pull out the victory, but it’s the same blood that made him such a talented cook, which could obstruct his progress. It could also hinder the progress of his wife Cattlyn. Now she is currently profiting from a weight lose program which has been in progress for six weeks. While her weight lose has been slow and steady so far, she is seeing dollar signs in her eyes that promises of a new wardrobe. Heaven help those that stand in between a woman and her new SMALLER designer jeans!
Last but not least is The Missionary, Kelley. Now don’t be fooled by her current situation, she has the determination to rock us all, even from 3,000 miles away!! One thing she has on all of us is her lifetime of pure athleticism. When it comes to sports and hard work, you’d be foolish to count Kelley out as a top tier competitor. But the passion she has for sports and athletics is the same as that for fattening junk food. She will also be fighting the temptations of her companions, and the obligation to the ward members that feed her. But there is a great possibility that she could walk off that plane at the airport and end the competition flat!
Either way, within six months, there will be a lot less of the Thompson’s strolling around town. Whoever the “biggest loser” is, plenty of dollar bills will be lining their pockets, not to mention this will be at the expense of everyone else. So, here we go… 6 rounds in the rings with only one winner. Will it be a quick Knockout hit, or a long violent bloodbath? Stay tuned!
