An
excerpt of Joan's interview with Katie Couric on the Today Show!
|
||||||||||||||||||||||
 Joan speaks with the Today Show host Katie Couric and University of Vermont researcher, Jean Harvey-Berino, about how she lost 32 pounds with the help of CaloriesCount.com! |
COURIC: And what did Cyber Dieting do? How did that change--by the way, you look fantastic. You lost how many pounds?
Ms. RAINWATER: I've lost 32 pounds. I kept it off -- Its been off for 7 months.
COURIC: As a result of this. What did Cyber Dieting do for you that traditional forms couldn't
Ms. RAINWATER: First of all, it's convenient. I didn't have to go anywhere. I didn't have to sit through a meeting. I didn't have to get on a scale in front of other people. I could, you know, weigh myself in my own bathroom scale and log on, and it was easy. I just did CaloriesCount.com. I entered my food in a food diary every single day. I could tell calorie content at the end of the day. I printed out grocery lists, I printed out weekly menus. So it was so convenient and easy.
COURIC: How did you find the Web site that was best suited to your needs? There are so many.
Ms. RAINWATER: I got on-line looking for a weight loss program, something more that I could do. I didn't realize there was on-line dieting. I started to search through and thought I need something that's not a diet, because for me diets have a beginning and an end.
COURIC: It's more of a lifestyle change?
Ms. RAINWATER: Yes, it has to be a lifestyle change. So then I found the one called CaloriesCount.com and their whole premise is healthy eating and exercise for life. So I knew it was going to be a lifestyle change.
COURIC: What about being anonymous? Did that appeal to you?
Ms. RAINWATER: Yes, very much. I had tried several other weight loss programs and I was never comfortable getting on a scale in front of other people. Even if they were all in the same situation that I was in. I was never comfortable. So I liked being anonymous. And I found being anonymous made me more accountable. Oh yes. But I think it was because if I knew I had a bad week, I wouldn't go to a meeting. I would skip a meeting. So, I wouldn't be in front of all those people and see I didn't lose any weight. So I was actually more accountable.
COURIC: People that are listening to you are going to think, how did she do it, obviously this was a good method, but in terms of your food choices and exercise decisions, tell us quickly, what's the key to your success?
Ms. RAINWATER: Good food choices. Having the tools at CaloriesCount.com to help me and exercise. I did a lot of exercise.
HERE'S WHAT JOAN HAD TO SAY AFTER RETURNING FROM HER TRIP TO THE TODAY SHOW IN NY:
Hello Everyone,
I'm just back from New York and am amazed by what I see happening on the website!
So many new people. I am so glad that all of you have decided to take this step
to do something positive for yourselves.
I just wanted you all to know that I can attest to the fact that if you stick
with it and support each other, this does work.
And... I am really just a regular person like all of you, who started out just
like all of you. I was so tired of dieting and so tired of losing and gaining
the same 30-40 pounds for 30 years. And I was really tired of not feeling good
about myself.
Caloriescount.com helped me to gain control and gave me the tools I needed to
succeed. And the support here is awesome. Just remember that you are not dieting,
you are changing your life. It's not a quick fix, but something you can maintain
for life. It took me about a year to lose 32 pounds, but now I feel absolutely
awesome.
You are doing something healthy for you and your families. You will set an example
for your children, husbands, and other family members. You will live longer, more
productive lives.
WOW!
Joan
