Quote From: rjbuckeyeFor anyone who was inspired by today's show to finally kick those pounds to the curb... pick up Dr Phil's book today! Don't wait! 
 
Last year I started work through his seven keys and have so far lost 35 lbs. I have 25 more to go to reach my goal weight. My weight loss has slowed some over the last few months, but the best part is that my lifestyle has changed! I have come to realize how terrible I feel when I am not exercising and eating right, and I actually desire those things in my life! 
 
I understand that some people fear the loose skin thing, but when you consider the health risks associated with being overweight, I feel that being healthy with loose skin is far more desirable. I am only 24 and my breasts have essentially deflated with this weight loss... but with a good bra, they look just fine! I look MUCH better overall. (My husband definitely prefers the new me ;) 
 
This message board is also a great place to look for support in weight loss. I have met many other women through here that I have been able to share support and experiences with. 
 
Good luck to you all! I wish everyone the best of health in 2006! 
Hi, I want to say that I was encouraged by your story. I am 23 years old and have lost 55 pounds with excess skin that I can't get rid of. I would take the excess skin over the weight any day. How do you enjoy the book. I recently purchased Dr. Phil's book about the 7 keys and am really looking forward to reading it.
Thank you for your inspirational words!
