So the major newspaper in Iceland is interviewing each of us 12 contestants on Biggest Loser Iceland, of course they started with me because I am the best person ever.
So since the other 11 will get posted as well, I want to get you jerks to click on the link to the story, that's it, nothing more. That way it shows up in the "popular stories of the day/yesterday/week." and those other 11 will feel terrible because I'm more popular than them.

176 Kilo and does not feel the stigma.. (sorry hard to translate that one)
Have you always been this big? No, I have been like this for 10 years. Before that I always had a bit of extra weight, and was in great shape between 1998-2001. During those years I lived in Iceland and even took part in Body for Life in which I had great results. When I moved to Canada in 2001, everything went out the window. Then I went partying too much, and ate mostly fast food.
Have you felt prejudice being so big?? No, I wouldn't say that. But I will say that people do look differently at overweight people.
What has been the toughest part of the Biggest Loser experience?I would say that it is dealing with the reasons you got to this place, looking inwards to your emotions, thoughts. To ask yourself these tough questions on why and how you got here is not very easy to do. At the same time I have had to battle with negative thoughts and turn them to positive ones. Of course it was also difficult to get going and start exercising again. The biggest problem with overweight people is their emotions, thoughts and their inward self. People have to get those in order to truly lose weight and get healthy.
What do you want to say to those people who want to lose weight but can't get going? If you are going to take on the challenge and work of improving your health, talk to people, don't hide it from others. That having your family and friends being a part of this is the key. Overweight people are often shy and don't often want to go in the gym for that reason. But we know that is nonsense. When you tell people about your plans and goals, you get a lot of positive reinforcement from your family and friends. That will get you far.
This is what we are trying to get my story on, the most read articles. Kind of tough right now as we just had the very first killing of a citizen by the police in our history.
