I have always trusted what Dr. Phil has said and I realize that one half hour is not enough time to solve a family's problems.  However, both Ken and Diane need some advice on time management and appreciating each other.  Does Diane not realize that she doesn't have to get pregnant so often?  There are ways to prevent this outcome!!  Having three babies in five years is their choice.  They need to stop acting like they don't know what's happening.   

  

Children take a lot of work but so does a marriage.  Where is Diane when he is with the children for three hours?  Why aren't they sharing that time as a family?  If she is going off on her own during that time then stop.  The time together each day should be invaluable to them and not something that they give up easily.  If she needs some time alone then maybe that's where the babysitter comes in.   

  

Most of us do not have cleaning crews and babysitters.  Many of us do not even have family close enough to "get away" every once in a while.  What Ken and Diane do not seem to realize is that their babies will grow up very fast and be gone on their own before they know it.  Then they will have all the time in the world on their hands and nothing to do together.  Why didn't Dr. Phil set up a counselor/advisor to sit down with them and help them to discuss their priorities, help them to decide together what is truly important, and help them to learn to appreciate each other?  This is the first time that I have been disappointed in a Dr. Phil show.  As Dr. Phil has said in the past, it's not about the toys in the driveway and the cheerios on the floor.  There is such a much larger issue here.  I am saddened that we never got to hear what it is and how to work it out. 

  

  

  

  

I just read the messages left so far and I am psyched.  Let's get healthy!  We're all ready and primed.  Are you excited - I am!  I am asking some close friends and my children to help keep me on track.  I look forward to hearing how all of you are becoming fabulous Dr. Phil weight loss WINNERS!!  Best of luck to everyone.

I don't get the contestants.  If I were chosen to participate in something like this, I would give it 100%.  Don't they understand that they are being GIVEN the opportunity that so many of us would love to have.  I would love to have trainers, a beautiful place to exercise, meals made for me so that I can learn how to eat, surrounded by others in the same predicament.  I would love the accountability.  They need to stop their whining and step up to the plate.  They have won this opportunity - I hope they don't blow it.

Tiffany,

 

First I truly want to wish you the best, best, best of luck in your struggles.  I know you can do it!  You are strong and ready : )

 

I don't consider dealing with your struggles as whining.  It really isn't what I am talking about.  Each of you has incredible courage for going on national TV and not only dealing with your weight issues but putting raw emotions on the table. 

 

I was so frustrated when I watched the first weight loss challenge some years ago and saw some of the participants not taking the program seriously.  They would "whine" about the silliest things.  All the while I was thinking, "Don't you want to do this?" 

 

I read your blog about not eating enough.  Has anyone ever told us that we weren't eating enough?  Not me, that's certain : )  I bet that if you follow Dr. Phil you will reach all of your goals.

 

Please stick with it and know that I will be rooting for you every day.  I also live in Maryland and I would love to meet you.  Feel free to e-mail me individually if you would like famhul88@aol.com. 

 

Best of luck to you.  Go, Tiffany, Go!!

Gentlemen,

 

Please accept my apology.  I saw things that frustrated me on the show but I promise to keep a more open mind as I watch the rest of the challenge.  We can all read e-mails in different ways but please know that I am being very sincere. 

 

I also know that there is no way that you could have known that I am a gal.  My name is Dana.  I realize that my name also doesn't help to know that I am a girl, but I am, I promise : )

 

Good luck to ALL of you.
