Listed below are links to weblogs that reference The 3 things in common in Oprah's Dramatic Weight Loss Winners:
Oprah had each guest tell their "Before" story which included a picture of the person at their heaviest, and then she asked them what their secret was to losing all the weight. Each guest had their own unique story but what I found interesting is that I could see about 3 common themes that resonated from every guest's story.
...the real secret for each was that they were ABSOLUTELY DONE with being obese...
Now Oprah wouldn't be Oprah if she didn't give away some really cool gifts at the end of the show to each of the weight loss guests, and I have to honestly say I was jealous. Each got their choice of a Gym level not Home level Treadmill, Elliptical, or Weights machine from LifeFitness, the people who make the best cardio equipment. My gym just bought a whole bunch of new LifeFitness equipment and these pieces are so well designed it makes you want to workout longer.
In retrospective, watching the show was not only inspirational but it was also evidence of just how much power and influence our emotions have in our weight loss success or failure. In fact, the more I think about it, the emotions should be the very first thing addressed when planning any weight loss program because planning food and exercise is not rocket science, but figuring out the emotional triggers that cause the overeating, the not exercising, and general not taking good care of oneself is what will make or break the achievement of getting back into those skinny jeans.
