The Biggest Loser

Wednesday, March 21st, 2012

Bethany was excited to be a part of NBC’s hit reality show The Biggest Loser.
In her People Magazine Exclusive she says “They were getting their lives back in order and getting healthier.” Bethany is a big health advocate so she’s stoked to be apart of helping people achieve their health goals & have fun while doing it! “I think a lot of them came from the couch and all of a sudden they’re in Hawaii learning how to surf. It’s this shocking lifestyle change, but it’s pretty exciting and they were all genuinely so happy in life right now.”

Season 13, Week 12
A trip to the island paradise of Hawaii includes a lesson with soul surfer Bethany Hamilton!

    I LOVE YOU BETHANY! Im 12 years old and I just think your an inspiration to me! It would be such an honer to have your autograph! I would treasure it forever and always. You have inspired me to love God more and taught me more things of all the wonderful things God has done for us! Thank you for teaching me that lesson. BTW i’ve always wanted to go to Hawaii because it looks so tropical! And I live in washington state near the boarder of canada and there is like, barley any waves! If I could have your autograph I would be the most happiest girl in the world! Even though im 12 years old. How about I e-mail you. I dont have an e-mail so why wont you e-mail my dad. His e-mail is midgejam@comcast.com… i think. That way I can personally tell you where I live because obviously the internet not safe. That way you can send me your autograph, if you want you dont have to. I LOVE YOU BETHANY!

    it makes me cry because God has a reason why you still here in this world. and it makes me how to value my bestfriend. you make us strong. and never quit for my dreams. and hopefully you still strong and always pray. :)

    I have only recently found the amazing story of Bethany. She has become so inspirational to me. I think her message to help others is her purpose and existence. Though I am not a Christian, I believe in mind, body and spirit. Your passion for Christ is equally inspiring. People ought not to lose sight of the message Bethany is getting out there because “Jesus” is apart of her strength. You go girl! P.s though I’m a worn out 30 something with clapped out knees, I’m gonna give surfing a crack or at least bodyboarding like I did in my teens, all because of you. Bless.

    How utterly ignorant can someone be. Even if posting that was nothing more than a stunt for exercising your own inner hatred for whatever or whoever, I hope the right people are able to track you down and connect with you. And in turn be able to extract from you that hatred you have in you, so you can also feel the joy that people like Bethany hasbrought to so many of us.
    I just finished watching the movie and, although hollywood-ized, what still showed through was the conviction of a single person. You see her and think, :yeah, right.. whatever”. But I remember Bethany and her story because when it happened I had just become a father and surfing for me was pretty much over. I remember watching the teen award with my nieces and telling them who she was. That she wasn’t a surfing hero, that she wasn’t a girl hero….that she was a PURE hero.. in every sense of the word!

    Bethany, I can only hope that my children grow to be as beautiful and strong on the inside as you are!

    Stay Gold!

  • Sally

Keep on going!
