Hello everyone, my name is Franchesca and I have been overweight for most of
my life. I have just started Dr. Phil's Ultimate Weight Solution book, and things are already starting to change. I weighed in this morning at 274lbs. I am 5'4". My highest weight was in October when I weighed 315. I have decided to start working out at least 3 days a week, along with walking 1-2 miles at least 3 days a week. I am so excited about changing my life. I'm not even going to ask you to wish me luck...because I know that I can and will do this. My goal weight is 150lbs. Thanks Franchesca |

Welcome Franchesca! I'm Tara and I started with Dr. Phil's UWS last week.
Since Tuesday, I have lost a total of 8 pounds. This isn't easy, but so very worth it. I do see this is a total lifestyle change as well. It sounds like you have a very great mindset going and we're here to support you. We have the same weight goal so lets keep checking in with each other! Stay positive, Tara |

Hello Franchesca,
I too read and followed some of the keys to Dr. Phil's Ultimate Weight Solution book. I started last August 27th by changing my way of eating and started exercising and have lost 115 pounds now in 8 months. Actually I started about the same time those guys on Dr. Phil's Weightloss Challenge started too. Anyway I have another 10 pounds to lose to reach my weightloss goal and am here to tell you that you can do it too. As far as food goes I stopped eating junk food basically all together and eat things like backed fish, chicken, turkey, salads, vegetables, and fruit and the weight has been coming off pretty fast. For exercise I started out walking to the end of the block and now walk four miles a day five times/week and use a stairclimber or elliptical machine an hour a day, five times/week. I started at 300 pounds last August 27th and today weigh 185 pounds. You've found a great place with great people to ask questions and they will motivate you too. I wrote Dr. Phil a while back and thought that they might have me on their show, but the season is about to be over so I don't think I'm going to make it. A couple of his producers called me and liked my before and after photos, but I guess someone else did a better job than I did. At least I tried and will never have to wonder if I could have made it or not. Well you take care and keep us posted on your success, Paul 300/185/175 wrote in message ink.net...
