Learn The Secret To Becoming the Biggest Loser

A few years ago, Rosemary Clooney,
Aunt of George Clooney, appeared on Tom Snyder’s radio show. Clooney and Snyder were long-time neighbors in Beverly Hills and had known each other well for a long time.

“Rosie,” Snyder said. “You look great. Did you lose weight?”

“Yes,” the 300+ pound Clooney replied. “Last I checked it was over half a ton.”

The two laughed, the studio phones lit up with callers and the comment became part of the Clooney saga.

Rosemary Clooney – like millions of other Americans – always seemed to be on a diet.

And, she probably did lose 1,000 pounds. The problem, she lamented, was that she gained 1,002 pounds.

How many pounds have each of lost – and then gained back? If weight fluctuates day-by-day, maybe by a pound or two, does that mean each of us loses 365 pounds a year? Makes sense, but that means people also gain 365 – or maybe even 730 – pounds a year. That can’t be
healthy.

Many determine their self worth by their weight alone. Few out of shape people make it in Hollywood, its almost a prerequisite to look like an “model” or “actor” to be a model or
actor. Then, they begin to
sound like Richard Simmons, former overweight person turned longtime advocate of fitness and weight maintenance.

Those who have been successful at losing weight can become best selling authors or spokespersons for the latest fad diet. People love to see celebrities on TV pitching a diet plan or some magic pill to lose weight.

Talk show hosts can go, from showing a wagon full of “fat” to confessing to gaining weight back, and former sitcom stars enter self-imposed me a culpa when
they lose and then gain and then lose and then gain…again and again.

A very common question you see on the internet is, “how to lose weight fast?” The best method is diet and exercise. But that doesn’t stop people from simple solutions like video games with cartoon characters who will run along with you, to gastric bypass, to the all cookie diet or the liquid diet or the protein diet. Many people are turning to the internet and websites like the biggest loser forum to find responsible weight loss advice from people who know what they are talking about.

Everyone routes for contestants that are on the Biggest Loser to succeed and reach their weight loss goals. Most people can’t imagine working out as hard as some of the contestants on the show. The thought of revealing one’s weight to millions on national television is horrifying for most. (Most people find it difficult to be weighed at the doctor’s office by one medical assistant.)

What is it about a new year that makes people resolve to lose weight? This year can be different, simply by sticking to our diet and exercise plans, and finally becoming a big loser!
