Topic : **North Carolina: how to get started in north carolina

 I would suggest the best way to get started is to get the book on tape.  You can still write out all of the exercises he gives you to do.  Hope it helps!

 thank you for responding is the tape better than reading the book? how has been working for you? do you like it? I guess i will try it i can get the tapes at any book store right or walmart? I hope it works i want a better and happier and healthy life again. again thank you i am open for any advice anyone can give at this point. have a blessed day

I too am having problems getting started.  I live outside Raleigh if you want a walking buddy or anything. 

I had bought the book on CD a long time ago but just never really took the time to get into it.  I always start out with the best of intentions but they quickly fall to the wayside.  I just pulled out the CD set this morning and am going to start listening to them in the car on my way to work since I have a 70 minute commute. 

  

I'm cheering you on!  :)

Hi, I'm in Winston-Salem and I'd love to have a buddy to email with. I have both the book and the CD's and I find the book to be more helpful because I highlight pages and I can flip through the book and just read the highlighted pages. I used the Dr.Phil plan before having my daughter to get down to my goad weight but I gained a lot during pregnancy. Now I'm using the plan again to lose weight and this time I plan to keep it off for good! I'm down 10 pounds and have about 15 left to go. I'd love to talk about the keys with someone. miller0814@bellsouth.net  Thanks, Becky

  I live in King, NC. I wish I could say I had only a few pounds to lose, but unfortunately I don't. I haven't gotten Dr. Phil's book and I wonder if it is really that helpful. I am 57 and I have been fat all my life and have never been able to lose except while I was pregnant. I am disabled and cannot work. I have to use a walker and wheelchair, so exercise is almost impossible. My daughter is also overweight and I am trying to get her to lose some weight. I am not able to go out without my family going with me, so I am home alone a lot. I will support anyone anyway I can because I know what it is to be in this situation.

i live in burlington NC and would love someone to walk with or work out.  I could also use some serious support buddies online too.  anyone in the area let me know.....email me jonesville03@yahoo.com

 hi! I live in King, NC. I think that's a good distance from Greenville. I put a message on the board but never got any replies. I am in your shoes sort of, I am older 57, but bigger greater than 300lbs. I can't get out and walk because it is physically impossible for me due to arthritis and joint replacements, well all that is too long a story to put here. You get your GED. ANYTHING to raise your self-esteem. My self-esteem is in the ground and I feel that is a big problem for me also depression. I have been a RN for 36 years but had to quit work and go on disability, so I can't afford the books either right now.  Remember the best friend we can ever have is God. He will stand beside us and support us when no one else will!!!!!!!!!!!! If I can help let me know. I will keep you in my prayers and hope you can find what you need to turn your life around. You can do it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
