Yesterday I talked about how using a pedometer can be very motivating.

Here are some programs I found that can be used with your pedometer.

Pedometer Plus Audio CD (Intermediate Level)

Pedometer Walking: Stepping Your Way to Health, Weight Loss, and Fitness

Manpo-Kei: The Art and Science of Step Counting : How to Be Naturally Active and Lose Weight!

I am a big fan of Bob Greene … for those of you who don’t know who Bob Greene is … his BIG claim to fame is as Oprah’s trainer. He has written several books … and has an online support program. [see more info on Bob Green’s Best Life Diet Program ]

This morning I was poking around the internet and found this great interview Green did with a CNN reporter. It was from a few years back, but is interesting because it gives some great information about how he got started with Oprah and some of his background as a trainer and fitness/diet consultant.

KidShape : A Practical Prescription for Helping Your Child Lose Weight, Increase Self-Esteem, Establish Healthy Eating Habits, Have a More Active Lifestyle

Once of the biggest challenges to losing weight is … ourselves. Yes, the weird thing is that even though we say and think we want to lose weight we sabotage ourselves.

Why?

Because our unconscious minds, for some reason (it could be a good reason, it could be a bad reason) belives that we should NOT lose weight. And since out unconscious mind is FAR MORE POWERFUL than our conscious mind, guess who wins?

YOUR challenge is to convince your unconscious mind that you DO indeed WANT TO LOSE WEIGHT!

This weight loss program used hypnosis to help you convince your unconscious mind to ALLOW you to lose weight. You will listen to the CD’s for 10 to 20 minutes a day for 21 (or more if you like) days. And all of a sudden you will discover yourself, exercising, eating better, eating less, eating healthier … and best of all … LOSING WEIGHT.

Check out the ENJOYING WEIGHT LOSS program. You will get 4 CD’s aimed at losing weight, and 2 free programs that will support you in your quest.

PS. This program was developed by Dr. Roberta Temes, who normally works with high profile celebrities and VIP clients. This is the same program she uses with them!

I’ve been poking around Bob Green’s new online diet program site.

The first thing you’ll notice is that Oprah is totally endorsing the program. She has an opening statement, and in the Success Stories section you’ll find HER experience with Bob Greene.

I had to poke around a bit to find it … but if you decide to join the program, it is GUARANTEED for 10 days. In other words if you discover you don’t like it within 10 days you can ask for your money back. This is a little different than some of the 10 day free trials (no money up front) but it really gives you a chance to test drive the program RISK FREE.

In the free section of the site, there are some recipies, an exercise feature and some articles so you can get a little hint of what is inside the program.

Personally, if I had not read Bob Greene’s books, I probably wouldn’t go for this program. However I HAVE read the books and what he gives is solid information, good sense information and a program that will get you fit. He doesn’t promise stupid miracles or fast weight loss … which is precisely WHY I respect what he has to say and his program.

You may remember from years ago when his first book with Oprah came out. She showed several mini documentaries of her struggling to lose weight … getting up at ungodly hours of the morning and Bob’s gentle (and sometime not so gentle) prodding. I loved it then and I still love it. I guess it showed a real human part of her … and that NO matter how rich you are you still have problems and struggles … the same problems and struggles the rest of us have.

I just found out that Bob Greene has developed an online diet and fitness program. I’ve got two of his books on my “lose weight” shelf … they were definite keepers, so this program is absolutely worth a look.

You can be a part of the diet Oprah trusts! Bob Greene is Oprah’s personal trainer and a diet and fitness expert who makes frequent appearances on her show.

The Best Life Diet is a subscription diet based on his new book. Subscribers have access to meal plans, workouts, videos, articles, a message board, and more!

If you want to read his books first … and see what he did for Oprah here are some Amazon links:

Get with the Program!: Getting Real About Your Weight, Health, and Emotional Well-Being

I am still watching the Biggest Loser program and though my weight loss in no way matches the program contestants, I am dropping some of the “jiggly stuff” and maybe even losing weight.

The BIG surprize of this week is when they brought back some of the players who had been sent home. While at home they were plugged into the Biggest Loser Website program, but other than that were on their own.

So the even BIGGER surprize was that the two people they brought back to the ranch had lost MORE WEIGHT than any of the people who had been at the ranch the entire time!!!

Go figure! Given that they had to work their exercise routines and eathing plans into their everyday workloads and everyday inteaction with family and friends, what they did was phenomenal. It means that the REST OF US have a chance!!

Use every tool you can to achieve your dreams! AND if you think the Biggest Loser Website program would help, be sure to join it. It certainly made a difference for the two new faces on the Biggest Loser TV program!
