On the eve of the newest season of the Biggest Loser my wife just found a story on the People magazine website that apparently Matt and Suzy from last seasons Biggest Loser just got married this past weekend. Last season I did not remember these guys being together although they were very supportive during the final few months while working out at home and in the studio for the finale.

According to People Magazine:

At the wedding the bride wore a white beach wedding dress by Renée Strauss featuring a sash and a Tacori crystal broach. She also wore her grandmother’s diamond stud earrings and diamond pendant necklace. Hoover dressed in khaki linen pants with a white buttoned-up shirt rolled at the sleeves. Both the bride and groom went barefoot to the ceremony.

The couple, who are both 30, called the wedding’s tropical location “beautiful.” They will also spend their honeymoon in Jamaica. For their reception, instead of a cake, the pair planned to serve homemade cupcakes baked by the bride and a friend.

Matt Hoover, a former wrestling coach from Iowa, popped the question to Seattle-based Suzy Preston, a hairstylist, live on the Today show in March – while both were in their workout gear. (Preston thought they were there for a fitness segment.)

Dropping to his knee in New York City’s Rockefeller Center plaza, Hoover said, “I have gone through a lot of changes in the past year. … I want to keep changing, but I want you to be by my side.”

Taking a ring from Kraiko Diamonds out of his pocket, Matt Hoover continued, “I had this made for you.” Then he told a teary Suzy Preston, “I’d like to ask you to be my wife!”

Suzy Preston answered with an enthusiastic “Yes!”

What a nice story. I am sure that as these two said they have seen each other at their worst and I still remember the two of them last season.

Matt Hoover was really guarded and had problems in his life fighting with the fact that he was a competitive wrestler just a few years ago and let his body go. He wanted to do everything himself and although you felt for him you really wanted to scream at him to lean on everyone else to help support him. Matt ended up winning last season but just barely as he was competing with Suzy Preston who to my wife and I seemed a bit like a whining wimp in the first place. One we got to know Suzy’s character though we did start cheering for her and in the end we cheered for her to win against Matt and Seth..

Looking to make a change and lose some weight? I have reviewed the top diet on the internet and you can go and read over 200 comments people have made about why this diet has worked well for them, as well as some of the problems.

Today on the Biggest Loser they went from four contestents to three. There was one product plug and it was for Quaker weight control Oatmeal. The Quaker Oatmeal is the equivilent of two servings of grains, has fiber, seven grams of protein, and only 160 calories per serving.

One of the really great things that they did tonight was to have Matt’s old wrestling coach and his buddy come in for some wrestling to show him how great a shape he is in now.

In the end Andrea was kicked out and this will leave Matt, Seth, and Suzy to go to the final.

They also had the three remaining people; Matt, Seth and Suzy meet with the trainers and talk about how they feel now and see a life size cutout picture of what they looked like the day they came to the ranch, the changes are amazing! All of them shared the same feeling that their weight loss, a nd change of lifestyle will be with them forever, they feel like new people and are excited about the future.

The exciting end of the second season is next week and they will have a two hour finale that will have highlights from this season so far, all the drama, interviews with the contenstents and their families, all of the contenstents from this season and of course the final weigh in.

Last night the two person teams on the Biggest Loser were broken up into individuals. Now the two people that lose the lowest percentage of body weight each week will be up for elimination with one person being kicked out. Last night that person being kicked out was Shannon. Shannon has done great but now that the game is really in high gear everyone is confident that Andrea is going to lose little weight so she is an easy target for next week or later. The funny thing abloout this show is that Andrea is looking great with the weight loss so far even though it is not nearly as high as any of the others. This show is really showing people that if you have 20 pounds to lose and you lose 15 it is just as impressive a difference as if you need to lose 100 pounds and you lose 70. More people must realize that it is not the total weight loss that is important but instead how you look and feel with every 5 pounds or so lost. These small differences make a big difference in the end with the way that you are feeling better week after week.
