NBC4 Team Losing Weight In Biggest Loser Challenge

The NBC4 team is hitting the treadmill and shedding the pounds in the NBC4 Biggest Loser Challenge inspired by the hit NBC show The Biggest Loser.

Twenty-eight NBC4 staffers are participating in the 12-week challenge to lose weight, get in shape and boost our health.

We track our steps with pedometers and have weekly weigh-ins that keep us honest in documenting our weight loss.

"I track my weight. I actually have an app that I track all my meals," said Karen Gorsky, a staffer who lost 30 pounds before the competition even started and is aiming to taking off more weight.

Assignment Editor Andy Long says he is moving more and focusing on his diet.

"Cutting down a lot on the sugar and sweet stuff. I cut out soda all together," said Long who has taken off 60 pounds since he started his weight-loss journey and is aiming to be a healthy father to his baby girl.

We all have our goals, and this is a competition with money and prizes on the line, but this is also for our health. The NBC4 family is a pretty tight team. We have watched our own Mike Jackson face heart disease.

"A lot of people think I signed up, Ellie, so I'd look cute in my Speedo this summer, but in reality I just want to be alive to try to put on a Speedo this summer," joked NBC4 Today Anchor Mike Jackson. He has been in and out of the hospital this past year, facing numerous procedures.

"I had a major blockage in my heart that required three stents. I also had a blockage in my kidneys and in my legs," said Jackson who is well on the road to recovery now. He works out between newscasts in our gym, walking and lifting weights, and pays close attention to his diet.

Like any weight-loss challenge, the NBC4 team is facing ups and downs.
