    RubyFly:

    Hi Adro, Ruby here - (we walked the city to surf with you in those ORANGE fluro t-shirts and crossed the finish line singing "WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS" )

    Well I do believe HUGE CONGRATULATIONS are in order here. How fantastic is that - your dream has come true - a real person who has been there and done that - to help other real people - PLEASE PROMISE THAT YOU WILL NEVER EMPLOY YOUNG TEENY BOPPERS CAUSE ITS CHEAPER OR SIZE 6'S JUST CAUSE YOU MAY THINK ITS GOOD FOR YOUR "NEW ME" 'S IMAGE - TRUST ME - SHE WHO HAS ALSO BEEN THRU JENNY CRAIG, WEIGHT WATCHERS, GLORIA MARSHALLS ETC ETC - NOBODY LIKES TO HAVE YOUNG, INEXPERIENCED WITH WEIGHT PROBLEMS, SKINNY THINGS TELLING YOU WHAT TO DO - WHEN THERE IS NO DEPTH OR MATURITY OR GENUNINE UNDERSTANDING.

    HOW I WOULD LOVE TO COME TO YOUR LAUNCH !!!  I'M SO VERY PROUD OF YOU!! YOU ARE A GREAT GUY - AND NEVER TOO "BIG" IN POPULARITY NOW TO HANG OUT WITH THE "LITTLE" PEOPLE - I still remember how you dropped back to walk with me because I was the slowest of our group. You were so encouraging on that City to Surf !

    I sincerly wish you every success. The subsequent studies you have done sound excellent. NLP is such an important part of overcoming anything - because I truly believe that it is us ourselves that set our own limits. Good for you Adro - Big Hugs !!!  Ruby x

     

    thanks for alll of that i appreciate it,

     

    one thing i am not budging on is staff, they will ALL need to have been or are overweight before and either sorted it or sorting it out while working there, although i do believe being severly inderweight and sorting it out is a great tool to.

    i think teeny boppers are not excluded as long as they fit the criteria which would probably make them alot more mature anyway.

    the only size 6s we will ever have s if they have photos to prove they dropped the 10 that was in front of the 6 before,

     

    the main focus of this new me is that its run by people who have walked the walk not just learned the talk.

    it is all about the guests there, thats wht im all about, and ive always said right from the beginning that the only person who has never been overweight who will have anything to o with this is RAY,

    because when ray and i trained he got in my head so bad that about a week or 2 into it i actually asked him when was he fat!!!

     

    he knows his stuff and he cares other then that no one else (besides rays wife carol and my wife sam) would have any interaction in the business, from trainers to nurses to admin!!!!

     

    they all need to have a story.

     

    oh and to answer the other question no im not stealing rays job as winner trainer, he wants it to much for himself haha so ill elave that for him, but maybe once the new me is set up and running the biggest loser might come down there and do some training.

     

    ill be there waiting.

    I keep telling Adro that there's absolutely no way in the world I will be involved in this series but he keeps giving me a hard time. I'm telling you all now, I won't be in or at the Finale!

    .....may get down to Mornington though!

    Reading his previous post you would not fit the selection criteria even if you may be very well qualified and very good at the job.

     

    Besides anybody who suggests Melbourne’s weather is good seems to have ideas completely incompatible with many people.  Stick out tongue

    Re: The New Me is opening MARCH 08

    Yes, I am tempted as I was involved with this idea right from the start, but at the moment I don't have the freedom to pack up.

    Don, he has stated that I am the exception to the selection criteria.

    Over dinner the other night I did pin him to looking after the FOH members and we may have something getting done. What we discussed is that is a number of people join through this site, 1 person will go through for free.

    Re: The New Me is opening MARCH 08

    It would be great if there was, at some point, a weekend option. I know a week or several or more would be ideal, but for those of us that could not do that, a weekend of full on motivation etc could be wonderful.

    Not that I am saying free would not be nice, but a weekend would make it possibly financially "doable", too. But of course, this is coming from a SAHM whose family exist on one income!

    Re: The New Me is opening MARCH 08

    What is the new me site address ? it's not letting me in.

    Hey Adro - when I get qualified as a paramedic I could be on standby at your retreat !!! Doing final year of my paramedic degree now. Am applying for Melb ambulance service, NSW, QLD and prob rural vic as well. I just want a job!!! I'll go anywhere. I grew up in melb though so really keen to come back.

    Re: The New Me is opening MARCH 08

    I'm no patent/copyright lawyer but the font/images used in your The New Me on your myspace page is very similar to the official biggest loser logo - with the tape meausure between thw words etc.

    I like your Camp Eden experience logo though - falling from that height - was a big achievement for you.

    How could you make it a more affordable experience though for the avg person? Luxury accommodation isn't necessary in my mind. Hostel type accomm would be fine. I'd be thinking ppl need this for the diet/exercise education not the accommodation (though I have no images/pictures to judge - as I've not seen it).

    Will the guests be doing a blog? Would like to know how they're going?

    Good luck to all.

    Re: The New Me is opening MARCH 08

    You know what though, work out the costs involved, all the overheads, staff., food, utilities AND the fact he does have a right to make some money to live with, and it does not look so steep. I also look at it another way, ALOT of people would spend that on a holiday, or a large part of that...........

    I would love it if there was a 2 night weekend deal, though. Just walking around the place at Easter, chatting with Adro and Ray, I am still amazed how much more positive I feel. Just having people like that telling you that they think you can do it, that blows my mind. A whole weekend of it, wow.......

    Re: The New Me is opening MARCH 08

    If up to 20 guests can stay at any one time it must be massive!!! Yes the costs would sure add up. Not denying that.

    Yes a weekend option would be good and/or a day only stay option - for those who live relatively local (so long as you dont go home and binge on junk).

    Just a 1hr PT session at $70/hr 7 days would be nearly $500/wk!!! You need to eat too, and sleep somewhere.

    Here's a general question: what do you spend on food per week? This could be hard if you cook for more than just yourself. Fruit/veg and chicken/meat and eggs have gone up with the drought and floods. Makes it hard.

    Re: The New Me is opening MARCH 08

    No they won't be making blogs, remember it's a very real battle for these guys and the last thing they'd like to be doing is telling the world about their highs and lows. I'm sure some will post about their experience once they've had time to get on top of things.

    Although it can sleep 20, at the moment the average amount of people there each week is 6.

    I think weekend stays could be good but I also think that it could attract some timewasters, who may not be totally committed so could ruin the experience for everyone else.

    Re: The New Me is opening MARCH 08

    I sincerely hope you are not classing ME as a timewaster Ray, you know I have poor self confidence! LMAO! It is, seriously, a very valid point.

    Re: The New Me is opening MARCH 08

    Jane I'm sure Ray doesn't think you would be a time waster! He did say "it could attract timewasters".

    I have low self-confidence too - 90% of it due to my weight/body image and theother 10% maybe to do with being 10 yrs out of school and having not done much yet. But that shall change soon - will finish uni in November AND hopefully will be a trainee paramedic somewhere in Australia. Melbourne hopefully. That's my first pref. But also considering Brisbane and NSW. NSW most likely though I think... I'll go wherever. Can't be too fussy.

    Got to work hard at my strength training and fitness over next few months.

    Yes, Ray, I know it's a huge battle for them - for everyone - trying to get on top of habits and lifestyle patterns. I'm still struggling, 15+ yrs on. It's so sad. All that wasted physical and mental energy on something that we can change. Nothing worthwhile is easy but it's empowering to know that there are things that we do have control over. Eating and exercise is one of them.

    Keep at it everyone - believe in yourself. You have to be ready to make positive changes. It's hard to force it though. You have to have your own 'light bulb' moment.
