Or maybe it's just the fact that she lost over 125lbs in eight months. Either way, Olivia Ward is feeling good enough about herself to travel across the country to the <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2009/10/7/14570/0750/hotels/The_New_Biggest_Loser_Resort_Reinvents_Adult_Fat_Camp">Biggest Loser Resort</a> in Malibu, CA. Why? To exercise with her fellow "losers," of course! For guests of the resort, who are required to stay for at least one week while they work on shedding the pounds, this is surely good news.

Initially, we took this to mean a cab ride to the hotel for a burger so now you know how lazy we are. But actually, the deal offers a Fulton Beef Hamburger and a glass of Cabernet for only $20 per person.<blockquote>Each week the restaurant will feature a different hamburger with chef-inspired pairings ranging from truffles, porcinis, various cheeses and the freshest seasonal ingredients. </blockquote>What we also like about this offer is that you can have both the tasty burgers and the

<![CDATA[ We are suckers for a room with a killer view.  We find that we are even more likely to forgive some minor hotel inconveniences if we can stare out the window at something pretty--yeah we are that shallow. Let's help out our fellow hotel mavens by uploading rooms with killer views to the <a href="http://flickr.com/groups/hotelchatter/">HotelChatter/Flickr photo pool</a>, or by <a href="mailto:tips@hotelchatter.com">sending the photo along to us</a>.

Despite the hotel's website telling us that rooms were a steep $385 a night (on a Tuesday in a recession), we actually found a rate of $258 within the site. We clicked on one of their promotions which was offering a room and dinner for select days only. Our day happened to be a select day.So a few hours later we were checking into the Malibu Beach Inn on PCH. At check-in, we casually placed our iPhone
