This year’s Halloween was a good one. A print-out from the computer and a few stitches later, I had changed some black t-shirts of Keegan’s into our costume of Team Black from The Biggest Loser. It was a definite boost to the ego to walk through Toluca Lake and have people chuckle and tell us how great we looked and to keep up the good work. If you’re feeling down on your body image, I can tell you from firsthand experience that pretending you’ve lost 200 lbs. is a simple and effective way to feel like a million bucks.

We enjoyed a truly unique Hollywood experience when we visited Steve Carell‘s home along with a slew of other trick-or-treaters. Waiting in line along with a bunch of tiny Snow Whites and Spider-Men, we introduced ourselves as big fans of The Office and I joked that we really couldn’t accept any candy.

After all the progress we’ve made, the last thing we wanted was to face the wrath of Jillian at next week’s weigh-in.
