The Canadian Champion, Fnday, Marcs, 7, 20103-il1 apologize for losing my normally humble attitude ,.; .i G i G fý L1AG 1 ", u1 11 i " Challenge, Murray Townsend would be the lass person l'd be cheening for. Nobody likes a swaggering braggars even if shey weigh 21 poundo leso than they did a month ago. Now, as editor Karen Smith infonned me from the stars, it's nos a competition among the four of us. Is's more of a competition witbin ourselves to meet our own goals. Stili, the competitive attitude creepo in there, and 1'm nos taking ail the blamne for that. Wbenever people would ask how much weighs 1 had lost, they would also wonder how much the others had bost. 1's nos a competition," 1 told them. Whatever, so how much have the others lost?
