A、It needs hard work and is a life commitment. B、No one else would lose so much weight. C、They’ve done it with great difficulty.

M: Last week we met three people on the show who have lost half of their body weight.(l)What is it about these folks that makes their stories so unique?
W:(l)The fact that they are able to do it on their own. You know, we get used to seeing reality television versions of how to lose weight where people go and spend time in a special camp and they have trainers and nutritionists. But for most people, it’s not realistic.
M: As you pointed out, they’ve done it through diet and exercise, the old-fashioned way.
W:(2)And it’s a lot of hard work and a lifetime commitment, and I think that’s the inspiration.
M: Why do you think that their weight spiraled out of control?
W: They had awful eating habits. They never learned good nutrition and good eating value and never worked out. Some of them have eating as a way of life. Some gained weight eating junk food and eating out at restaurants.
M: Were there moments along that pathway where they thought "I am not going to be able to do this"? Because everybody has plateaus and...
W: Oh, right.(3)They have to find a really great support system to help them get through those tough plateaus and keep going. Things like consultation work.
M: Do they need to join a gym?
W: Not necessarily. They can do the exercise at home. Or they can walk.(4)This is a lifestyle change: it’s not a quick fix, or a quick diet. You really just have to be committed to changing your entire life and get committed and stay committed to it.
