I am currently at the Biggest Loser Resort at Fitness Ridge in Utah. I will blog when I get back, the days here are really packed with many things that keep me busy. We begin the day at 6am and by the time we are finished with all of the workouts I am beat. I have come to find this is a place for me to reflect on where I have been and where I am going. Perfect timing.
This resort has been a 100% amazing experience thus far. The food (1,200 calories/day) is really awesome. Every single meal has left me satisifed and surprised at the same time.
When we began filming the Discovery Health Show in August 2009, I was 368 lbs, as many of you know. When we finished filming in November I was 328. I came here close to the weight where I was at in November. I will keep you all posted.
Acess Hollywood was here yesterday with Maria Menounos. We all think it is going to be a great segment. It should air next Tuesday, I will keep you posted.

Thank you to each and every one of you for the overwhelming support and inspiration since the “Biggest Loser: Where Are They Now?” show aired a few weeks ago. I have heard from many who have even lost as much as I did and have gained it all back…and even better yet, lost it all again and kept it off. I have heard from young and old, fit and struggling, and believe that every story I learn has helped me understand this process so much better than before.
My 1-hr documentry premiere will be airing on Discovery Health Channel on Wednesday, January 6, 2010 at 9:00 pm. The title of the show is “Confessions of a Reality Star Loser”.
For the many who have asked, yes, I am still doing motivational speaking engagements around the US throughout 2010 even though I am focusing on my weigh-in May 25, 2010. I wanted to take this opportunity to let all those interested that I have several dates still available, you can reach me at contact@erikchopin.com.
Keep the emails and comments coming. They have been an invaluable support to me.
Here is the Discovery Channel promo:

The finale brought back a lot of memories for me. When you are going thru something so surreal its sometimes hard to take it all in. Perhaps since the big boys were in the finals it really brought me back to a place where we were not so long ago, and its still surreal. It also brings up another item. Erik has agreed to step on the big scale at the Season 9 finale in May 2010. It’s happening all over again in some ways. The amount of strength it takes to get to the finale this time will take more than an incentive of $250K. I worry that because of the “finish line” sort of speak that Erik will again get this weight off and not learn how to maintain it long term. For anyone that thinks Erik is the only one that gained it “all back” after the show they need to think about how many contestants were not shown on the Where Are They Now special. Erik was very brave to share his story and more inspiring to many this time around, having lost and regained, which any of us that have struggled with weight at any point in our lives understand first hand.
We are in the process of working on finalizing our diet and exercise plans to share with all of you. Our launch is going to be January 2010.
Erik is working on his blog about the Where Are They Now show he filmed in October and aired in November. If anyone has any questions, please feel free to post them and he will answer as honestly as he possibly can.
