Did you notice that one theme on The Biggest Loser this week was how important it is to identify your reason to lose weight?

There are many reasons to lose weight, as I was reminded last night. During the competition, people at the ranch definitely were in it for their families. Having a toddler myself, I found it hard to believe that Heather and Bobby both are spending WEEKS away from their children, missing significant milestones in their children’s lives so that they could compete to be The Biggest Loser. Why are they willing to be away from their families?
