On tonight’s show Dr Fitness and the Fat Guy learn how to stay motivated in order to lose weight and achieve all of your goals. Donna Krech, creator of the Donna Krech Connection shared her 7 reasons people lose their motivation. She also discussed exactly what they can do to get back on track. she said that the number one reason people lose their motivation was that people get distracted, they lose focus. And in order to stay focused you have to figure out your “Big Why” Why are you really trying to lose weight - she says it’s probably not what you think.

We also had on one of our favorites - regular contributor and Senior Editor of Eating Well Magazine Nicci Micco. Nicci explained to us the difference between farm raised Atlantic salmon and wild salmon. She said that health-wise eating most fish and especially salmon is good for you. But from an environmental perspective eating wild salmon is probably the way to go.

Susan started Potatoes for Pounds where she has donated 10 pounds of potatoes for every pound she has lost. And she is encouraging others to follow her lead.

Ellen Barrett also joined us to discuss her new exercise dvd project. Ellen has been called the country’s best fitness instructor by Self magazine. She encourages women to Sweat Glamorously. She has targetted modern workouts for modern women. In additon to working with Hollywood’s hottest stars like Christina Ricci, Ellen has carved out a huge following of exercise dvd lovers with an impressive library of her work including the controversial Zodiaction. Check out her The Studio series: Yogini Workout, Fat Burning Fusion and Slim Sculpt. For more about Ellen please go to her website www.ellenbarrett.com

And we closed the show with Pam Vetter, a celebrant from Los Angeles. For those not in the know a celebrant helps families heal with uplifting funerals. PAm has done celebrity funerals like Richard Pryor’s but spends most of her time helping regular folks go out in a way that really celebrates their life instead of a typical sad preachy service from a religious leader who in some cases barely knows the departed. I’ve heard of one funeral where the pastor just filled in a Mad Libs style eulogy with the person’s name. Funeral’s don’t have to be a buzz kill they can really be meaningful, fun and inspirational. Visit Pam online at www.thefunerallady.com or www.celebrantpam.comfor more information.
