So we made it past the first elimination round where they boot out the team that lost the least percentage after the first 6 weeks. But now comes the tough part. Starting this week the slate is wiped clean. Up until now we’ve been in the top four and been doing great. HOWEVER. Now comes the hard part. Each week the team that loses the least percentage is dropped. I have a hunch our end is near. We should wave our white flag now. SOS. Wednesday will be our day to depart from the biggest loser. One gal on the team really has very little more that she can lose as far as I am concerned-she swears she is doing a colon cleanse this weekend!!! The other one hasn’t been the most dependable. And, Pat. Oh, dear Pat. Dr. Wetovick. As he told me….”I have no motivation”. He hasn’t done very well, poor guy. And to add to the pain this week in the clinic was pure torture (seriously people, come on….will you at least consider getting your flu shot~just sayin’!), especially for Pat Mon-Weds and he took off skiing Thursday for a long weekend and I’m sure he’ll be binging away his sorrows as I would be, too.

I’ve lost 23lbs and as I am close to the smallest I have ever been am disgusted to say that I saw a partner’s patient yesterday and as she was leaving she asked me when I was due. I promptly spewed (yes I just used the word spew) onto her shoes. Actually what I really wanted to do is tell her to go back to his hall and never come back to our hall again! But. I didn’t because my nurse wrestled me down and duct-taped my mouth shut. For the rest of the day that was the joke….about how this person asked me this and everyone in the clinc couldn’t believe it. Guess we’ll be doing some clothes altering this weekend…

Oh, and one good thing….I think (not 100% sure) that even if your team gets booted you can continue individually for an individual prize at the end of the competition. If so, I might just keep on goin’….
