In this episode, I do the show solo. While I was correct in that Fr. Roderick had decided to take the rest of the week off from podcasting, this was not the reason he did not show up for today’s recording. What happened was that Fr. Roderick thought that we had agreed to do a show next Friday since we already did a show this week for the Biggest Loser Podcast.

Oh well.. Here is my attempt to fly solo today, giving my thoughts on the finale of season 9 and getting caught up to date with some of the community feedback that has come in. Enjoy!

In this episode, Cliff and Father Roderick have the privilege of talking with Pete Thomas from season 2 of the Biggest Loser. Pete once weighed 416 pounds. He spent 62 days on the Biggest Loser Ranch and lost 83 pounds before he was sent home. However, while at home, he lost an additional 102 pounds and came back to win the At Home Challenge earning him a $100,000 prize.

Pete wanted to come on to the Biggest Loser Podcast to talk about the Healthy Weight Match Up Challenge where you could work as a team with some friends in an effort to loose weight and have a chance at winning $10,000. For more details, please click here.

In the interview, Pete shares his thoughts as to what the “Secret Sauce” is on why people are so effective at loosing weight while on the Biggest Loser Ranch. The best part is that when you hear the secret sauce, you’ll see that you can easily apply this to your own situation at home.

Hi again Cliff and Fr Roderick – I know Cliff has posted some progress photos of himself and others who have lost weight, so thought I’d send mine as well. These are not ‘before’ and ‘after’, but ‘before’ and ‘during’ because I’m not yet to my goal.

I hope my voice feedback came through okay – love your guys’ shows – keep up the great work!

We take a look at Week 3 of the Biggest Loser. This episode is a perfect example of how living a healthier lifestyle is not simply about loosing weight. At times we need to allow our emotions to help us navigate through issues that we may have suppressed and neglected to deal with in our past.

I really don’t have to say a whole lot. The picture pretty much speaks for itself.

I hope these photos are a source of inspiration to you. Seriously, if we can do this, so can you!

The best part is that with all the before and after photos we’ve posted so far, there no special diet pills, no health supplements, or anything like that.

Results like these are available without spending hundreds of dollars on memberships and specially prepared meals.

It’s all about making more healthy food choices, counting calories, and daily intentional physical activity.

Cliff here and I have something really exciting that I wanted to share. My friend Jenn Davis started her pursuit of a more balanced life earlier this year. Like many others, she decided to make drastic lifestyle changes.

The other day we day we posted Before and After photos of ourselves (Fr. Roderick and Cliff). Here’s another example that you don’t have to be on the tv show just to be a big loser like us!

Here’s what she has accomplished over the course of the past few months:

How did she do it? No secret here. She changed what types of foods that she eats, she has daily, intentional physical activity, and she counts her calories. Sound familiar?

Don’t wait till New Years Eve to make a decision for something different. Decide now to introduce the “new you” at this years New Year’s Eve Party!
