Biggest Loser Resort Romance!

Did you know that The Biggest Loser has a higher success rate for relationships than The Bachelor/The Bachelorette? And not just by a little! Why I believe that's the case is because on The Biggest Loser, these people are sharing their whole selves! They have laid out their insecurities, their skeletons, and they are ready and open to change. When two people enter a relationship with everything already out on the table, they grow in a love that is based on true character, honesty and openness. Their biggest insecurity and struggle in life is already known and most importantly, accepted.

Guess what? It's not only on The Biggest Loser that this happens. Love connections are happening all the time at The Biggest Loser Resort as well. Rob shared with me his story of meeting his girlfriend Stephanie earlier this summer.

Stephanie and I met at the Biggest Loser Resort at Fitness Ridge in August of this year. I guess it all started on a Sunday night when everyone met each other in the dining room in Malibu for the first time. Our group clicked right away from day one me, Steph, and a few other friends, Kim, Kim, Michelle, and Josh were inseparable.

I, of course, was the only one in the group with experience at the Fitness Ridge because I had been there in June. So after we all met we went to hang out by the hot tub for some laughs and to get to know each other better. At first I was not interested in Steph, I was into another guest at the time, but Steph tried hard to get my attention and by Wednesday it was hook line and sinker for the two of us.

We were in the same group for all our classes. I always push myself to the top of every class I go to. I am a very hard worker and I have lost over 200 lbs so far in my journey! It was nice to have Steph right by my side. The only time we didn't see each other was during the hikes because we were in different hiking groups.

We got closer and closer as the week went by and it was getting harder for us because I was leaving and she was staying another two weeks. I wish I could have stayed but I had to get back for a training.

It's been four months now and we are still going strong! It's a bit of a struggle sometimes because I live in Florida and she lives in New Haven, CT. But we see each other as much as we can and skype each other a lot.

I am grateful to Fitness Ridge for not only helping me on my own transformation of losing over 200 lbs so far, but for introducing me to my beautiful girlfriend!

It is so fun to watch these romances blossom at the resorts. It's also neat to see couples that have been so caught up in their own busy lives for so many years finally have time together and fall in love all over again. Who knew that love could grow so much in a place of sweat, workout clothes, crazy hair and no makeup? That's when you know it's real.

XOXO
