Topic : Exercise

I think the most important chapter in the book would be key one. If you re read it and really pay close attention to what your reading you can then make changes. You can start to realize how your negative thoughts are effecting your behavior.

Auto dealerships (new car) by law must supply anyone that is overweight with seat extenders FREE.   I hope that she can get one soon.

HI:

I have MS 61 female and I weight 240 pounds as well.  I don't have diabetes but  I do have osteoporosis.  I am in an electric wheelchair for mobility.  I have just found a fitness club that  I could do a program.  It is the first time that I have been on a treadmill and after starting in July at 2 minutes at the speed of a 1/2 a mile per hour and now I can do 18-20 minutes at 1 1/2 mile per hour.  I also started with weight training at 1 pound weights.  Now I am doing the full circuit machines with weights up to 45 pounds 2 times a week.  I go the Swimming pool three times a week.  I have not lost a pound even with changing my eating style.  I know that I have lost inches.  Don't get discouraged.  Start slow and rejoice for every inch of milestone you achieve.  May be we could be buddies.

Well back in feb '08 I was 200 lbs and im 5'6. I was devasted when i stepped on that weight scale.

Well that night i decided to work out and cut down my eating...7 months later I now weight  165 lbs and lean with muscle, I still need to work on my abs still have that little fat i think its the loose skin.

I didnt follow any books or video, i just didnt own my  own and proud of it..If I can do it you can do it as well.

Sorry I made I mistake on this I meant that " I DID IT OWN MY OWN" ..sorry typo..

Hi, my name is Kim and I was on the orginal Weight Loss Challege with Dr. Phil! I lost 65 pounds while on the program and still live by the keys (well, most of them!) I want to wish all of the new winners success in changing their lives and being healthy.  I don't want to single out the people being supervised by the Dr. Phil team because they have a very strong support group. You people at home doing the challenge will need a team of your own to keep your motivation and stay on track. Write on the message boards, find a friend at your gym and meet regularly, find a personal trainer and by all means, CLEAN OUT YOUR HOUSE AND GET RID OF THE JUNK! That key makes the most sense to me and really works....you can't eat what is not there!

I am not going to lie to you all, I have put some weight back on but I can honestly say that I know how to get it off again and this program works when and ONLY when you make it a life style change. I will be working with you all to get about 20 pounds off again. I know what I did wrong and I have no one to blame but me for not working out! Anyone who was part of my message boards in the past knows I simply hate working out....never found it exciting like others did BUT, the fact is that it is KEY to getting fit and staying fit. It's not an option if you want to lose and keep the weight off. 

So, everyone....HIt the gym, clean out your fridge and closets and get ready to start feeling and looking better!  I have some wonderful memories of the Dr. Phil crew along with the other challengers....give it all you have because this opportunity does not come everyday!
