Good Luck! Keep in mind that you do not make it; it is not you and you can do it on your own. It would be great to work out with Bob or Jillian though...
Again, good luck!

I would go if that's what you really want to do. Who knows they might take you just to change the show up a little. I never thought it was fair that they only put Huge people on all the time. It would be nice if they took people who need to lose 100lbs. or less for a season. Wouldn't that be a interesting show! Go for it, you never know. It won't happen unless you make it happen!

I say go for it! Don't let doubt cheat you out of something that could be a wonderful experience for you! Honestly, it's a tiny thread of luck for ANYONE to make it on any of these shows, so you have the same chance as anyone. And when you're only 4'8", any significant weight loss becomes very dramatic. I'm only 5'2", and I know that 10 lbs on me isn't the same as 10 lbs on another person that is taller, as they have a longer frame to support that weight. Good luck and fingers crossed for you!

What's the worst that happens? You don't get chosen. But what if you do? Nothing ventured nothing gained (or lost. Lbs!)
what have you done today to make yourself proud?

My dad always said, "nothing ventured, nothing gained." Go for it and look at it as a learning experience, whether or not you are chosen. Keep SP informed.

Although you might not be 100lbs over weight, you might just get in because of your height. But its definitely a thread. If you do go, seeing everyone else around you who are on the over 100lbs area, might motivate you to continue what you have been doing on spark to get you down to 178. You know what, just join another group on here called Jillian Sparks and buy her 30day30lbshred video. I just started it and its awesome!

I think that you likely will not make it onto the show as they like to have the crazy weight losses on there, but I would go and try. If nothing else I would think it would be motivating to go and see who is all there and maybe see what extremes of what you really don't want to become.
