Weight Loss Help

Rosemary Clooney, of the famed Clooney family, once appeared on Tom Snyder’s radio talk 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 right.

Weight is ingrained into the American psyche Celebrities who find themselves packing on the pounds are often forced to make lifestyle changes to continue their careers. Then, they begin to
sound like Richard Simmons, former overweight person turned longtime advocate of fitness and weight maintenance.

It sometimes seems as though anyone who has ever lost weight ends up pitching their own diet or their workout program. These celebrities use their weight loss to get television commercials for diet companies or diet supplements.

There seems to be an epidemic of those that constantly move up and down the scale.

A very common question you see on the internet is, “how to lose weight fast?” The smart answer 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.

Shows like the Biggest Loser are reaching new levels of popularity, as are the contestants that appear on the show. 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.)

The yo-yo cycle begins anew each year with new year resolutions. Maybe this will be the year we stick to our goals and become a big loser.
