Bill Germanakos - The Biggest Loser Champion Season 4

Bill Germanakos just spoke here at 3M and I had the opportunity to go listen. Man, what a great speaker he is. He went into the show weighing 334 lbs and lost 49.1% of his body weight! He now weighs 170 and has kept it off. He spoke about the show, his motivation, where his is now and what he now eats. 1 pound equals 3500 calories - his goal was to lose 1 pound a day. They said to him "whatever" what is your real goal? He said, "that is my goal and no one is going to tell me differently. I will work harder than everyone else, listen to every word the trainers say and never question them. They are professionals who get paid a lot of money to do this, why would I think I am right?" He spoke quite often of his motivation being and wanting to be around to walk his daughter down the isle. He showed us his blood pressure, his cholesterol, BMI, etc. They were practically off the charts. At the end of his speech - he said...now you guys all look up here at these numbers and read them much differently than I do. Here is how I read them...(he used his red pointer pen and dragged it back and forth along his new and healthy numbers as he read "Bill, as you look at these numbers, they mean that you are healthy and will some day be able to walk your daughter down the isle." I almost dropped a TEAR! But thought, Jordan - hold it BACK, you are at a work function. Good to hear my co-worker almost lost it too (she is, however, pregant...me? Not so much! A couple of key points I brought along...the darker and more grainy the bread/pasta - the better. The whiter it becomes, means they take all of the "good" out of it. Boy, I love the white bread too... Pumpernickel here I come...
Also - your body can get "used to" workouts. You bike to work every day for a few months, lose 30 lbs, then you are at a standstill - you are not losing another pound - WHY? Instead, hop in your car at the same time you would and head straight to the treadmill instead. The pounds will continue to come. He was quite humerous and told us his commitment. 14 egg WHITES, vs. 2 eggs? Yep, same cals.
