Title: Episode 6 - Hunger
Length: 00:14:35
Summary: Hungry? You don't have to be, and you shouldn't be! In this episode, we discover the best ways to eat healthily and stay full while losing weight.
...
The best way to stay full is to eat whole foods that are high in fiber. This episode gives an overview of which foods are high in fiber, and what I mean by "whole" foods. I know that hunger can be a big issue for a lot of people, so I hope this is a useful episode.
You can contribute content to the next episode by letting me know if you have any personal hunger tricks that work especially well. Leave a comment, and I will include the best ideas at the beginning of the next episode.

Episode 5
Title: Episode 5 – Step 5: Sticking To Your Plan
Length: 00:14:19
Summary: The last step of weight loss: Sticking To Your Plan. Discussion about common issues that cause people problems with their weight loss – the fact that the scale lies, setbacks, slow weight loss, and quitting altogether. Hopefully this episode will help a little with some thoughts about how to deal with these things and move past them.
...
This episode is all about not quitting. The only real and true obstacle to weight loss is when a person stops trying. If you have any thoughts on this episode, I'd love some feedback on it. I don't know if what I've said is helpful or not. It seems like a lot of talking about common sense things, but maybe something in there will be thought-provoking for people.
This is the last in the series of "steps" that I've defined as the overall steps to weight loss. I have lots of ideas for more topics, but let me know if you have something specific that you'd like me to address.
...
My one-month trial period at podOmatic has run out. podOmatic is the company that hosts these podcasts. They have a free version of the service that includes some really basic statistics features and limited file hosting and bandwidth. I don't have to upgrade to a pro account, but I'd like to in order to keep doing everything that I've been doing.
I've added a PayPal donation button to the website, over on the ride side of the page. If you'd like to send a dollar or 50 cents to contribute, it would be awesome and amazing.

Amazing Real Weight Loss Story
You've got to watch this video. This young man lost 375 pounds. I have to warn you that there is a part that's difficult to see, when he shows the extra skin that he's been left with, so if you're super-sensitive, be forewarned.
Note: There's been a little confusion about this. I did not create this video - it's a news clip that was posted on YouTube.
From time to time, I may post content that isn't one of my podcast episodes. This is a blog, after all.

Episode 4
Title: Episode 4 – Step 4: Beginning to Exercise
Length: 00:17:02
Summary: How to transition from a sedentary lifestyle to a lifestyle that includes exercise and activity. Topics covered: walking, workout DVDs, easing into the gym, and how to lose weight by playing video games!
...
This episode is full of really basic information for those who are just starting out with exercise. It's a big change to make in a person's life, especially if you previously haven't been an active person.
Question for listeners: What do you think of the volume of the audio in these podcasts? Do you have to turn up/down your volume a lot to hear me correctly? Any other odd things happening? It sounds okay on my computer but I want to make sure it's working for everyone.
Don't forget to leave a comment in iTunes. It will really help! Thanks :)

Episode 3
Title: Step 3: Making it a Priority
Length: 00:19:45
Summary: Weight loss is a big project. If you want it to work, you have to make it a priority in life. In this episode, we discuss some common situations that arise in our lives in which we can choose to make weight loss the priority. Also, listener questions from the first two episodes.
To everyone who has been listening so far: thank you! Your feedback and support has been awesome, and I'm so glad to hear that this podcast has been helpful for people. This episode includes answers and discussion about the questions that Paul posted in the comments. Listener questions are fantastic - keep them coming! Let me know if you have questions about this episode, previous episodes, or if you just have something to add to them. I'd like to make the Listener Questions portion of the podcast a regular feature.
I'd really love it if you could post a review in iTunes. As far as I can tell, this podcast will only appear in its category of Health & Fitness if it's in the top 100 for the category, and reviews and ratings will help that tremendously. Thanks :)

Episode 2
Title: Step 2: How To Choose A Plan
Length: 00:14:40
Summary: Following a weight loss plan is important so that you have some help and direction. But which plan to choose? In this episode, I go over what to look for and what to avoid. Included: a hint about which plan actually works.
To listen: Click on the title for Episode 2 in the player over to the right, or listen in iTunes.
Over the past week, I have been amazed at the response the first episode has gotten. There have been listeners from all over the country, and even all over the world. I am so pleased that people already seem to be getting something out of this podcast. Weight loss can be a very difficult process, so it's awesome for me to be able to do something creative and positive with it, and to help others at the same time.
In this second episode, I hope to demystify how to go about choosing a weight loss plan to follow. Since obesity has become such a widespread problem, it seems like there is a new weight loss program every day. I give a lot of information on what a plan should and should not include, and let listeners know which one actually works.
