FYI, today there's a rerun of this on her show.

For me, sometimes when I watch something on weight loss it gives me some idea that helps me make progress.

Nancy, Have you read Dr Phils book. I am thinking about ordering it. :Read:

Okay, but weight loss from which time?

Hmmm...I'm not sure. It sounded like it was around November 2004.

Main guidelines were:

1. Stop eating 2-3 hrs before bedtime.
2. Regular vigorous exercise 8 times a week.
3. Eat consciously at all meals. (Be aware of everything you put in your mouth)
4. Abstain from alcoholic beverages with the exception of 3 holidays a year.
5. Drink minimum 6-8 glasses water a day.
6. No white foods (refined carbs).

No, I've never read Dr. Phil's book. What's in there that's helpful? I'm always looking for good ideas.

Hang on...is this a typo? 8 TIMES a WEEK?! This has to be aimed at someone who has no life. Maybe Oprah could do that but how in the world would I find the time to do "Regular vigorous excercise 8 times a week"? It's no wonder she lost all the weight she did, and she's got personal trainers and chefs. *grumble*

Yep, that's what she says. She takes off one day a week and 2 days a week exercises morning and evening.

BTW, I added one other item. She says don't eat white foods.

I use to like Oprah years a go, but now I can't stand to watch her. She's just WAY too full of herself, imho.

I bought one of Bob Greene's (her trainer) books the other day at a dollar store. I haven't read it yet, but I think it's about staying motivated. Now there's something I really need! I hope there's some good sugestions in there.

I have Dr. Phil's book. I would recommend it. I'm thinking of re-reading it myself.

That's good to know. I have the diet and the basics that work for me.

But I like to pick up different ideas and knowledge to remotivate myself, make more progress, or be more efficient and effective with exercise.

Sure thing! I almost forgot that he had a diet program of his own. I've never paid attention to it. I think there was a controversy about it where someone sued him about his products.

The name of Dr. Phil's book is, "The Ultimate Weight Solution - The 7 Keys to Weight Loss Freedom"

Key One - Right Thinking
Key Two - Healing Feelings
Key Three - A No Fail Environment
Key Four - Mastery Over Food and Impulse Eating
Key Five - High-Response Cost, High-Yield Nutrition
Key Six - Intentional Exercise
Key Seven - Your Circle of Support
