Biggest Peep-ster
For The Post’s Peeps diorama contest, Lisa Hut and her daughter, Katie, created a scene from “The Biggest Loser” complete with modeling-clay weights, treadmill and bike, and a “mean look” Jillian. “I’m sure Jillian-Peep was about to yell at Filipe-Peep. I originally thought we could use different colored peeps for the teams, but I couldn’t put a T-shirt with logo or a sports bra on a chick. Too stubby. The bunnies were way more fun,” says Hut, who has lost 11 pounds on Weight Watchers, and has 15 to go. She plans to give the diorama to a friend who is hosting a “Biggest Loser” party. The winners of our second annual Peeps diorama contest will appear in the paper and online April 8. Kristen Browning-Blas
