With such a topic so broad we truly try to cover the basics from all angles in this group. Nothing too big or too small. Nutrition is as significant if not more as exercise is to reaching your goals so learn all you can.

And the number of excuses these people had? I don't think most of them even realized they were making excuses. We seem to be an oblivious society when it comes to living healthy. His daytime show this week is along the same lines. He has the eating part down, I wonder if he will touch on exercise and just what he will say. -------------- ~Victoria~ ...There are no shortcuts to any place worth going.--Beverly Sills

Great advice.. to the point and makes a lot of things make a lot of sense...On the other hand, I was listening to Howard Stern this AM and he said Dr. Phil sits there with his belly hanging over his belt and four chins and preaches a weight loss program. I thought about what Howard said. But, I think it is behavioral/Mental and Dr. Phil is VERY versed in human behavior. I am sure there are marriage consuelors out there who are divorced. Dr. Phil will be successful b/c he is teaching a lifestyle change and not a quick fix..

He plays tennis EVERY day and is quite the athlete, but he has back problems from old football injuries that hold him back. He makes fun of himself, but says he is in the best shape he can be in with what he has to work with. I don't see the double chin though. And his arms and legs look pretty good in shorts and short sleeves. And now another celeb note. Last night I was watching Sharon Osbourne and she said that, just 5 years ago, she used to weigh 220 lbs. I didn't believe it until she showed pictures. She weighs 120 now. She isn't very tall either. I was amazed. I think she is so cute. -------------- ~Victoria~ ...There are no shortcuts to any place worth going.--Beverly Sills

Her problems were probably a precursor to her bout with colon cancer. It's amazing how many of us have to get seriously ill before we make that decision to live healthy. -------------- ~Victoria~ ...There are no shortcuts to any place worth going.--Beverly Sills
