Oprah Winfrey says she weighs 200 pounds!

Again? Wow.

I got on the internet today and clicked on Yahoo.com and this story popped right up! I was so surprised....NOT.

Everytime I see her on the cover of a magazine, they're always talking about how Miss Oprah is awesome and her food and diet plans on television are awesome.

So if they're so awesome, why isn't she following her own advice?

Oprah says she's "fallen off the wagon."

She also says, "I'm mad at myself."

To my readers, diets DO NOT WORK!! You have to learn how to eat the right things at the right times...to keep it simple.

No carb diets lack....duh....carbs. The body needs carbs to function. Plus, the majority of your daily intake will consist of carbs so of course you'll drop weight when on a No carb diet because you're taking away 40-60% of your daily calories.

However, I guarantee you that when you go back to eating regular meals, your weight will jump right back up!! and maybe even more. Has this ever happened to you?

Oprah's goal is no longer to be thin; instead she wants to be strong, healthy and fit.

Finally!! She's figured it out.

I'm proud of her on that sentence. Folks, do not focus on the number on the scale. Try to set performance goals instead of weight loss goals. Something like, "I want to do 100 push ups in two minutes or run a half mile in under 4 minutes". Something like that.

A bathroom scale doesn't tell you how much muscle or fat you have, only how much you weigh...period. It doesn't tell you how strong, healtlhy and fit you are. People can fluctuate between 1-10 lbs. a day. And that mainly depends on how hydrated you are.

So to my clients and readers, Do Not focus on the scale. You may be skinny and fat, or you may be big and healthy.

Oprah goes on to say "I was talking the talk, but I wasn't walking the walk. And that was very disappointing to me."

She has a personal trainer so what happened? How and why did she get off track?

Who knows.

We often think of celebrities and their amazing bodies and we say to ourselves, “of course that person has an great body. They are rich and can afford to hire a personal trainer and chef and dietitian to work with them every single day.”

Training does not have to be expensive and it doesn't have to be hard. If you join my camps, SexyBack Bootcamps, you can get all of these things and more for a fraction of the cost of what gyms like 24 Hour Fatness is charging.

there is nothing with weighing 200 lbs if you have good muscle definition and are in a good, healthy bodyfat percentage range, which is below 30%. let me know what you guys think. who loves her? who hates her? i like her but the show's misleading at times.
