Hello everyone,

Most of you know that I'm a contestant on Atlanta's version of the Biggest Loser contest. Well, we've been at it for six weeks now and we have six more to go. I'm still safe and have lost nearly 20 lbs! I'm asking you to vote for Cheryl this week so that she can possibly avoid elimination from the game (link below). This is a strategic move on my part and I would greatly appreciate your vote for Cheryl. You can vote once today and once tomorrow by 10am (eastern time).

Thank you for your support during this process. It's been a great adventure for me and I'm getting healthier and stronger each day. I went to the doctor on Tuesday and my blood pressure is also down along with my weight.

If I end up in the bottom two after next weigh-in and require your vote, you'll be hearing from me. Until then, thanks for all of your support. It is greatly appreciated!

My best friends Phil and Janelle had a baby girl, Audrey Diana, on Tuesday afternoon. She weighs 9 lbs 6 oz, so she's pretty big. I haven't gotten to hold her yet because they kept her in the nursery overnight and yesterday I wasn't feeling well. Hopefully today. I am officially "Uncle Brendo." Phil and Janelle even gave me a shirt to wear in the waiting room. Huge congrats to them and a hearty welcome to little Audrey.
