On tonight’s show, Doctor Fitness and the Fat Guy get the skinny about an amazing weight loss story from Shauna. She lives in Scotland and she has been blogging as DietGirl for over 6 years now. She has transformed herself from weighing over 350 pounds to now less than 180 pounds. That’s right she has lost well over 170 pounds and kept it off. You must check out her blog at www.dietgirl.org if you want to be inspired and see for yourself that it is possible to lose weight, even a lot of weight if you stick with it and keep plugging away day after day. We are so proud of what Shauna has accomplished. She is a wonderful role model for all of us who know that we should lose weight but struggle with the enormity of the task. She talked about the importance of persistence not perfection. And also said not to put your life on hold until you get skinny.  I think that Shauna is truly amazing and if you are a book publisher you should contact her and offer her a deal, because what she did and is still doing is worthy of being shared with everyone.

We also heard from Leigh Crews. Leigh is a professional fitness instructor and yoga expert. She was recently voted one of America’s best trainers by Vogue magazine.

Dr. Fitness found some funny fitness questions people have asked other trainers on the internet. Like is “Is how I’m breathing the reason why I’m not losing weight?” Yeah it’s your breathing not the fact you can’t go by a McDonald’s without stopping your car. The Fat Guy shared a new french fry invention by Longhorn - they have taken french fries to a new level. And we also discussed how binge eating is the new number one eating disorder knocking anorexia and bulimia out of the top spot.

This week we ran out of time for the Doctor’s tips. The tips segment is now called Dr Fitness’ “Things You Can Do Today” To Add Life To Your Boring Workout Routine. Here are a few of Dr. Fitness’ tips…Number 1, change your routine by slowing it down do less sets or take shorter breaks between sets. Number 2, join a league. A tennis league, a basketball league, flag football, ballroom dancing, anything that makes you sweat. And Number 3, get a partner - working out with someone else makes it fun. There was a lot more from Dr. Fitness, but you’ll have to go to his blog to get the rest.

She has some strong opinions about everything from articificial sweetners like Splenda to the government regulating trans fats. 

We also spoke with Sheri Gilburth. Sheri is a certified massage therapist and she spoke extensively about Reiki, an ancient healing technique that compliments massage therapy as well as other massage techniques. She told us stories about how she has been able to help her clients deal with stress, depression and maximize their athletic potential.  You can learn more about her practice at www.heartcenteredtherapy.com

Dr. Fitness seemed to have read the news this week and he had some thoughts about mindless eating from a study by Cornell University and he was freaking out about the increase of obesity related surgeries that are happening. The Fat Guy thinks obesity surgeries are good for everyone but Dr Fitness has a problem with people taking the easy way out.

This week the good Doctor was kind enough to come up with a few tips. The tips segment is now called Dr Fitness’ “Things You Can Do Today” to squeeze in activity into your busy schedule. Here are a few of Dr. Fitness’ tips…Number 1, always take the stairs. Number 2, set your watch to beep every hour…then get up and do some light exercises for 5 minutes. Do things like jog in place or squats. If you do this 6-8 times a day you have done a nice easy workout. And Number 3, always park far away, the walk will do you good. Remember exercise has a cumulative effect every little bit helps. There was a lot more from Dr. Fitness, so you will have to listen to the show to find out all the rest of these great tips. And I’m sure he’ll post all the tips on his blog.

The doctor also mentioned (again) that he has been chosen to be an expert on the Fit America contest.

Once again we were also lucky enough to have Kathie Larkin, fitness model, actress, soon to be exercise dvd star and host of the Real Savvy Moms TV show on as a co-host. Kathie had a lot of questions for our  our food doctor. she also made fun of the Fat Guy pretty good. that was nice. She’ll be in Las Vegas for the next couple of weeks showing off her legs at some big shoe trade show. She is a foot and legs model. But she promised she will be back. Be sure to check out Kathie’s website www.getkathie.com. Also check her out as on www.RealSavvyMoms.com Be on the look out for her during the Super Bowl. she will be in one of the commercials during the game. 

The Fat Guy was his usual sarcastic self… teasing each of the guests and especially the doctor. He was a uncomfortable talking about massage  because he doesn’t really like to be touched. And he was very intimidated by the food doctor because she obviously was the smartest person on the show. 

We also talked about our new contest! We are giving away a FREE BioTrainer to a subscriber to our email newsletter each week until we run out of them. This week’s winner was Stacy Flynn.
