Fort Worth Woman is the Biggest Loser

A 26 year-old Fort Worth woman named Michelle Aquilar won this season of NBC's Biggest Loser by dropping 110 pounds.

This installment of Biggest Loser was called The Biggest Loser: Families with parent/kid and and wife/husband teams.

Ms. Aquilar had been estranged from her mom, Renee Wilson. They reconciled their differences during the show. They had been on bad terms for almost 6 years, due to a messy divorce which had Michelle living with her dad.

The prize on Biggest Loser for Michelle, in addition to getting skinny and back happy with her mom, was $250,000.

There was a viewing party here in Fort Worth at Boston's Gourmet Pizza. Right by the 24 Hour Fitness franchise where Michelle did her exercising. An employee of 24 Hour Fitness said Michelle's successful shrinking has inspired others at the gym to work harder.

I do not know if Fort Worth will be having a city wide celebration due to a local being the Biggest Loser. A few year's back Fort Worth did have a city wide celebration after being named one of America's Most Livable Communities by what turned out to be a bogus award given by a Washington, D.C. lobbying group.

I think a city wide celebration for a local losing a lot of weight would be appropriate. It doesn't happen all that often in Texas.
