weight loss

Happy New Year! Just in time for some New Year resolutions! And, it seems that most of us will say, get in better shape, and lose some weight. That's been an age-old resolution, that old weight loss thing. But, I'm hear to tell you, whatever you do to lose those extra pounds, don't try these.

If you're in the Radio or TV business, and on-the-air, you've been here.  Something funny gets you and you can't stop laughing, no matter how hard you try.  It's horrible for you, but very funny for the viewer.

There are many fans of the hit NBC TV series, "The Biggest Loser," here in West Michigan.  This year, especially, since we get to follow two local contestants, Conda and Jeremy Britt, brother and sister, from Rockford. There was some big excitement in Rockford this past December that has been kept secret...

Everyone talks about it, but how many really stick to it. Weight management. We know the drill when it comes to losing weight — take in fewer calories, burn more calories. But you also know that most diets and quick weight-loss plans have about as much substance as a politician’s campaign pledges...

Who is really to blame for our weight issues? Sure is nice to get back to routine. Weekends are tough on a calorie budget. As I mentioned in a post last week, and have mentioned often on the Andy and Chuck Morning Show on WTRV Grand Rapids, I am trying to maintain a healthy waistline and lifestyle since losing 30 pounds two years ago...

Andy and I were talking diets on WTRV this week. Everyone has their idea on what works and does not. I have a friend who is always on whatever fad diet is making the rounds. No-carb, Southbeach, etc....everyone has a story. Me, I had fantastic results with MMPC -- now Spectrum Health -- Weight Management...

They brought their former "fat clothes" along to Chicago and Amy Bauman and Sue Parr were lucky enough to sit in one of the last audience's of the Oprah Winfrey Show.  Both women have lost more than 100 pounds each.  The show airs today at 4pm on WWMT Channel 3...

Reducing stress and getting the right amount of sleep will help you lose weight.  That's the bottom line of a study done in Portland, Oregon.  Researchers from Kaiser Permanente's Center for Health Research say diet and exercise are still key;  but if even you exercise and diet you may not lose weight if your stress is high and sleep erratic...

We all want to lose weight.  Okay, most of us.  And, we try all sorts of ways to drop those pounds and begin working out. Sometimes the best way to commit to a workout regiment is to tell a bunch of people about it, and then let the fear of being labeled ‘The Guy Who Talks a Big Game About Getting Into Shape But Never Follows Through” take over...

With a new study indicating that stretching before exercising may not prevent injury after all (unless you're already a dedicated stretcher), it seems like a good time for an optimization of our sweat-time.

Talk about inspirational!  This new show is on MTV Wednesday Nights!  I was watching Marci who is featured on the show "I Used To Be Fat".  She was a guest on The View today and she looked FANTASTIC!  She lost 90 pounds in 90 days.  Of course, that was a bit dramatic...
