It\u2019s week three and there are only two of us left; Pam and I have no choice but to pull out ALL the stops! Then, Ali throws another twist – a pop challenge!\u00a0 This challenge tests our knowledge on childhood obesity and \u201cthere is a consequence for everything.\u201d The losing team will have to spend 4.5 HOURS a day LOCKED in this room full of video games, TVs, lounge chairs and all the snacks I have spent the last two weeks avoiding all to emulate the life of the average child.<\/p>\n

The challenge came down to the final question: Of the parents of obese children, what percentage think their child is normal weight or underweight? Answer: 75%!! I don\u2019t know if I should be upset that we got this question wrong or upset that this statistic is SO high. This causes a tiebreaker – WE PULL AHEAD – WHEW!<\/p>\n

I am so glad America is seeing the EPIDEMIC of childhood obesity and its effects on the next generation. I was just like Lindsay and Sunny<\/a><\/strong> growing up; I struggled with being the \u201cchubby\u201d kid. I believe that the lack of knowledge and advancements of sedentary technology are the viruses of this disease. It is our duty as the cast of Biggest Loser to make America aware. But for now, Pam and I just need to survive this week!<\/p>\n

OH the GUM CHALLENGE! This challenge will make you rethink ever chewing gum again! We had to run through a pit of gum, grab a 10-pound gumball and run it back through the pit; first team to collect 20 gumballs won $5,000 worth of groceries. All of us looked like Swamp Thing running through this pink goo that sucked you down faster than quick sand. Now it\u2019s funny to watch, but it was not the most pleasant experience at the time.<\/p>\n

@dietsinreview<\/a> hahahahaha #BiggestLoser<\/a> (my make-up artist said it loudly on set!!)<\/p>\n

Working out with Jillian this week was off to a great start. Pam and I really seemed to find our groove. Then we were put back in Jillian\u2019s Outdoor Gym, the place where Pam, Nate and I struggled the week before. What America didn\u2019t see last week was I battled that prowler and lost. Just call me Grace, because I fell headfirst and got a concussion- WOW did that hurt. When Jillian put me back, I didn\u2019t think I was ready for it, but it goes to show you if you don\u2019t give up you can tackle anything!<\/p>\n

This weigh in was full of dramatics! Can the White Team survive or will the team be down to only one? Of course, Pam and I weigh in last, like we weren\u2019t stressed enough! I lost six pounds, YES! Pam only needed to lose one pound to keep us safe\u2026. Drum Roll Please\u2026 Pam lost nine pounds! WOW! And to top it off, the Pam dance. LOVE IT!!!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Sadly, every week some one has to go home and the Red Team had to deal with the first elimination. We will all miss America\u2019s Sweetheart Cate Laughlin; she said it best with, “Being healthy isn’t a chore, it’s a gift.\u201d<\/p>\n
