My family and friends will be shocked by my performance!
Jul 14 2009

Hello everyone!
This week’s dance style was pole dancing! At first I was very uncomfortable with the whole idea because I just couldn’t picture myself “dancing” on a pole. But after the rehearsals and the ultimate performance I really feel like I pulled it off! My partner Michael was awesome as usual. He is such a talented dancer and teacher and I feel like we are a great team!

This dance really turned out to be liberating, sexy and so much fun! My biggest challenge this week was zoning in on my sexy side and really letting that come across in my performance. This week my knee is so much better so that really allowed me to push it to the limit! Ruben is the number one competition right now. He is such a strong dancer and his weight loss is always a huge number! I was really worried how my weight would turn out, simply because my workouts were limited this week due to my knee injury. I couldn’t use the treadmill or do any running. I was restricted to the pool only. Even though I only lost 2lbs, it really is exciting because I pulled it off even with the injury.

I know without a doubt my family and friends will be shocked by my performance this week! My son will definitely be going to bed early when this episode airs. Yeah! I’m here another week! I can’t wait until next week!

Love,
Tara

My weight loss process has been considerably slower than the other contestants because of my age and the fact that I am a Type 2 Diabetic.

I've inspired so many people around me and they, in turn, inspire me to continue this wonderful lifestyle.

I won't say it was always fun but the pain, sweat, tears and joy made ever minute worthwhile.

I lost more weight there than I had in years of trying! What was there to be sad about?

The first thing I ate when I got home was a fast food burger. I got sick.

This was an emotional time for everyone, even the producers and camera men.

I've loved every minute of this, and now I have something back that I thought I had lost.
