HEY WHATS UP? MY NAME IS JOSHUA AND IM LOOKING FOR SOME ADVICE AND EVEN SOME HELP IF ANYONE HAS ANYTHING TO OFFER. IM 6 FOOT 1 AND I WEIGH 253 POUNDS AND IM VERY INSECURE ABOUT MYSELF AND ITS REDICILOUS, I HATE IT. I NEED ADVICE AND/OR HELP. I HAVE A NICE SET OF GOLDS GYM WEIGHTS THAT I WORKOUT WITH EVEN THOUGH IM NOT SUPPOSE TO I HAVE A SEPERATED SHOULDER FROM A CAR ACCIDENT BUT ANYWAYS I ALSO WALK SOME AND PLUS I TAKE DIET PILLS HOPING THAT IT WILL HELP ME LOSE WEIGHT BUT I DONT NOTICE OR FEEL ANY DIFFERENT. I THINK DR. PHIL IS A VERY AMAZING GUY, I WISHED I WAS LIKE HIM, I WATCH HIS SHOW ALOTTT.

my name is tammy and i am 36 years old. i love the dr phil show and i watch all the time, i want to lose weight but nothing is working, i have tried diets after diets and nothing seems to work. I love food but i know that i shouldnt just sit on the couch and pig out. i hurt myself 10 years ago and i have had numerous sugeries on my left foot and ankle. i am limited to what i can do to excecise because my whole foot is fused together and i have no movement,

i really want to get this weight off, but i am trying so hard to do things that i am not suppose to do. i tried going to the gym, but it was to hard on my foot and back, i need some advice to how i can loose this weight,

i am depressed because all of my friends are skinny and i am the overweight one, and i can never figure out what i can wear when we go out in public, i get really sad and down on myself and i know i shouldnt be like that,

i really need some help and advice to lose this weight and i only have to loose 60 pounds to be my ideal weight for my height.

i am so glad that i have somewhere to go and talk about what i am feeling these days. also my mom had a heartattack on mothers day and that scared me also and that is another reason why i want to have a better life and healthy life.

Hope to talk later

Hi, Tammy.  This may sound "Dr. Philish", but, you know, he's all about getting real. =)  I've been singing your song for a long time, only in a different tune.  The familiar tune is excuses.  Yours is physical ailments (which I don't mean to discount), but there's always a way.  Learn what types of exercises you CAN do without causing harm to your back and foot.  AND WATCH WHAT YOU EAT!  I'm sorry, but really, what we eat sabatoges our dream.  If we excercise and eat whatever, we are LUCKY to maintain...and shouldn't be shocked if we gain.  I have been a workout-aholic for years, but I want to eat what I want...I HATE feeling deprived and like I can't have something I want.  So working out with that mentality KEEPS me where I am.  If I really want to get serious, it's a diet-exercise combo that will get me where I "want" to be.  I put "want" in quotes because it really is "so-called," meaning, I haven't really decided... I'm not COMMITTED yet.  Once we COMMITT, we're unstoppable. =)  Really, that IS the key.  We need to be willing to do WHATEVER is necessary....and it's not impossible, just uncomfortable.  I wish you sucess...I know it is hard, but you really can do it...all of us can if we choose to!!!!

I've never watched the show before and I have to say that after last week, I got motivated to get back to the gym and back on a weight loss program!!!  I've lost 10 lbs this week and I'm super excited!!

Anyone else watching/inspired?
