Ok this is a long story but I will try to keep it short. As some of you may remember I am involved with this guy John who is a singer songwriter. We went on tour in 2000 doing House Concerts and had an L.A. based film crew follow us around and do a documentary. We finally got a distribution deal signed sealed and delivered last month. WHOO HOO!!

The distributor is taking the film to Cannes Film Market in May. Guess who has the opportunity to go to the French Riviera in May? YUP! ME and John of course.

So what does this have to do with Biggest Loser auditions? I am getting ready to tell you. GEEZ you guys are impatient. LOL!! Anyway, the Biggest Loser contract was downloaded and filled out two weeks ago. I re-read it last night and discovered I would need to be available for filming, because you know I would be picked, from Feb through June. SIGH!!

So Biggest Loser or South of France??? HMMM!! Hard decision!! Thoughts from you guys?

I still don't know yet!! LOL!! I keep looking at the application and thinking I need to get my video shot. Then I think but Cannes is beckoning me. LOL!!!

At this very minute, Cannes is winning. Ask me in about 5 minutes and Biggest Loser will win. LOL!!!

Biggest Loser is a one time deal, but France has been around forever. You gotta make your own choice. What means more to you?

Hmm..weighing the options here...

Losing weight

or

Going to France

For me it is simple..LOSING WEIGHT

Like Lisa said, France will be there forever. You being bandless Penni, the biggest loser is a great opportunity to continue your journey. I know how important your weight loss is to you and maintaining it and continuing to lose without gaining it back..France has too much fattening food and without a band..WATCH OUT!..Just my opinion

Lots to think about. I am still struggling with this. I hope to make a decision soon. I will certainly keep you guys posted.

Gosh gee whiz.... I was gonna say do the TV show but Betty makes a good point. Hiking, running and lifting weights..... they would for sure Kill ya. Penni I don't know what to say.... when it rains, it pours.

I'd go to the S. of France and leave them a contact number. Then, if they call you can come back to the states and "play." It just states that you need to be available, not sitting at home! Good luck, Shawn

So how is that video coming along! Just do it Girlie! I am right behind you! GO PENNI!!!!!

Without a doubt.....The Biggest Loser is the WINNER!!! France is not moving...it will be there after you WIN on the Biggest Loser, Penni.

Yeah - but how often can you go to Cannes and see a film about You & your DH?? That's a one-time event, I think.

So, Penni - any decision?

Yeah - but how often can you go to Cannes and see a film about You & your Man?? That's a one-time event, I think.

Ditto!

France with a feature film! :confused: I wouldn't miss it.

Leave BFL a number.

Who are you kidding? Like you'll let John go to France without you? Besides, Betty is right. How are you going to exercise for Biggest Loser with your injuries. Plus, probably hundreds of thousands of people are applying for that show. Biggest Loser is a huge gamble. France is for real. Go to France and buy me stuff.

I don't know that is a tough one....I LOVE TBL...actually have the workout DVD coming to the house. Have been to France and I would love to go back. No help here...

I did have a cousin on Extreme Makeover and to ask her the questions she said she would do the show all over again. She even left her baby when he was just 9 months old for 6 weeks. She is MUCH more outgoing now and her whole personality has changed for the better.

I say beings you are injured right now I would go to France and heal up and when you come back apply for the next show. I'm with Lisa.....I want stuff from France...LOL

Okay, we're talking about being featured for the CANNES film festival here, folks. That's one of the biggest film festivals out there. It's a huge honor just to have your film in it. The electricity at these film festivals is amazing. I live in Utah and volunteer at Sundance every year. It's SO MUCH FUN. Still haven't had a film in it yet, though.

So maybe you answered this already, but could you do France and then see if TBL calls you? I say if TBL calls and picks you, DO THAT! I'd chuck a France ticket for that opportunity if it was a sure thing.

i vote BIGGEST LOSER -

So, Penni have you made a decission yet?
