From Brian:  Well, Week 9 prove to be the toughest week of the competition thus far. A two- pound loss doesn’t add up. I have been doing two a day workouts, watching my diet and I have witnesses at home to everything I have been doing. My trainer Steve up’d the intensity of my workouts. I was in the Navy 6 years and never once threw up at sea. I can count 4 times this season where I have almost come to that in training. Maybe its my body fighting back, maybe I’ve put on muscle mass to a greater degree than fat loss, maybe I need to tweak my diet a little. Maybe more cardio and less strength, maybe more strength and less cardio…it’s a mystery. All I know is while I am disappointed in two lbs…its still a positive number.  I will continue to push, to eat well, to hammer my workouts, to stay positive and to let the cards fall where they they may. I guarantee you this….invite everyone back for an “after the Fittest Loser” weigh-in at week 20 and this contestant will be a rock and continue to reflect the qualities and mission statement put forward by Push Fitness.

From Mike: I enjoy watching many food related shows. For a long time,  I thought I was destined to be a professional competitive e ater.  Man Vs. Food, Diners.. Drive-ins and Dives, No Reservations are all shows that used to garble my attention and stir cravings resulting in fast-food runs, or grocery store trips. However, as I was watching Beef Paradise last night I found myself not wanting anything to do with a 3 lb burger.

Now another Friday night without any pizza.
