Hi to all the Challengers,

Looking forward to Wednesday to see the show.  I was there for the first taping, and wonder how things went.  I'm so glad that Dr. Phil is doing this again.  I lost 130 lbs during the first two Weight Loss Challenges.  His 7 keys are all that you need to be successful.  Robert will be a great help, so listen to what he has to say. I'll be cheering all six teams on and looking forward to seeing less of you on every show.  Enjoy every moment because it goes so quickly.  You have gotten a wonderful opportunity and I know you will all succeed.  I hope to see you all at another taping soon.

I'm so glad that Dr. Phil is doing  a WLC. I loved looking forward to the shows and I lost 135 lbs with the two wlc shows.  After Staying Alive in 2005 , I had to deal with three deaths of people close to me.(my best girlfriend, my boss and my father-in-law) and many set backs on knees and feet and some other health issues. I thought I had overcome my emotional eating.  Not!!  I started putting others first again and not making myself # 1.  Here it is 3 1/2 years later and I've gained 80 % of it back!!  I can't believe that I allow this to happened. I've been gearing up to do this again and On Monday I started.  I weight  269. Huh!!!! Now is the time to put this behind me, for "This is the first day of a new beginning that will change my life."  I know the 7 keys work because I've done it.  Just want you to know that all you need is the book, and you can accomplish anything. I'm hoping to get some support from this site and I would love to email others  I figure I have 109lbs to lose and my goal is to be at 160 lbs.  You can email me pegmeg@sbceo.org. We can all do this and I look forward to reading all your posts.  I'm so sad as Dr. Phil Amazing Weigh Loss Race didn't come on.  They are behind one day because of Tennis!!!!!!  I will watch it tomorrow.

All for now

I have two beautiful grandchildren.  I posted yesterday.  I'm 58 and I lost 130+ lbs three  and a half years ago and now I have to lose 100 lbs. again.  I've been married for 40 years to my best friend and I'm going to reitre in Dec!!!!  I would love to support you.  email pegmeg@sbceo.org

Looking forward to hearing from you

Debbie,

Thanks for the message.  It's hard to be doing this again and it would be nice to have someone that's been there at least twice.  I'm so disappointed that I have to do this again.  I'm not going to dwell on this and like i said this is a new day.  things are happening.  Please email me pegmeg@sbceo.org

Just wanted to say hi to everyone and tell you I have enjoyed ready all your posts.  We have a great group here and we can encourage each other.  I had a great day with all my meals and I did my bike for twenty minutes this morning.  I'm trying to get going on the treadmill but I have to do it slow because of some health issues with my feet.  I did the treadmill for 6 minutes today and it felt great.  something that helped me in the past, was Dr. Phil's book on CD.  I would put it in and walk and listen.  If you have an Ipod you can upload it.  I'm also keeping a diary on what I'm eating.  Another thought.  My cousin would always brush her teeth after dinner and then she wouldn't eat anything cause she didn't want to get her teeth dirty or brush them again.  All for now I need to go and watch the show. (I taped it)  I'm a day behind cuz of the tennis on Monday, darn!!!!! Looking forward to all your posts.

We're about the same age!  I have 109 lbs to lose. I have a stressful job too and I can relate to coming home and just sitting.  We're tried. You can do this!  We are all going to be healthy and look good next year.  Have a great weekend.  Hopefully full of rest and exercise. I always feel so much better when I exercise.

Hi Goldsam,

I can so relate about winning this weight lost battle three years ago.  I lost 130+ in 2005 and have gain most of it back.  Like you taking care of your sister, I lost my best girlfriend to cancer, along with the death of my boss and my father-in-law all within 10 months.  I focused all of my energy on taking care of my mother-in-law. I don't feel like you are making excuses as you have too know what when wrong and learn from that.  You sound like your a people pleaser like me and that does get in the way of taking care of ourself. I would love to hear from you and we can support each other.  My email is pegmeg@sbceo.org
