Gettin' busy with (shirtless) Bob Harper


Sometimes I get to talk to famous people, like Bob Harper from The Biggest Loser. He was more than willing to give me a tip (not that kind) or three about staying on target in the New Year, one way to start RIGHT NOW -- and busted the biggest weight loss myth! Sadly, he kept his shirt on. But you'd never know that here. You're welcome!


What are 3 ways people can stay motivated in 2012?
1. Pick one new healthy habit a week and build from there. It is always better to start off with smaller more attainable goals. Remember the story of the tortoise and the hare? Who won that race? The tortoise because he was slow and steady.
2. Get a couple of people at work that share similar goals to help keep you motivated. There is power in numbers so bond together and help each other stay on track.
3. Keep your kitchen free from temptations. If you don’t have it in the house, you won’t be able to eat it. Especially at night when so many people’s resolve seems to be lower.
If there is one change people can make right now to kick-start their journey, what would you recommend?
The first thing that I would say for people that are trying to lose weight is to STOP drinking their calories. You can eliminate so many unnecessary calories every day by following this one simple rule.
In your opinion, what is the biggest weight loss myth?
I think the biggest weight loss myth out there is that there is some sort of end game when it comes to losing weight. So many people think that after they have met their goal they can begin to slack off or slowly fall back into their old ways. When you decide to embark on your weight loss journey you have to be “all in”. Divorce yourself from your old behaviors that put the weight on in the first place and really change your life.
