Thanks, I should have seen this a long time ago

THANK YOU! i just started atkin's with my husband. this video is very insightful!

[bowulf]

You are welcome! It's always easier to do it with your spouse and have someone local supporting you through the journey and rough spots.

Thank you!

Thank you for making this video. I learned alot of what my spouce went through with my weightloss and how to help him with his this year.

[Elizabeth01010101]

Hey good stuff! I like your "don'ts." I learned some new info from this!

[bowulf]

Thanks. I really had a good example on what to do and model myself after, so I am glad I could communicate it on to others.

Thank you for posting such a wonderful video, I played it for my husband with speaker blaring.. all he could gleam from it is that I MUST be frustrated. I realize now you get support where you can and ignore the people and events that become obsticles in my path to a healthier lifestyle.

I can sense your passion here. Kent thanks for the insight on this. My family & friends are really supportive and try to offer good options for me when..lets say.. a party comes up. Now..co-workers are the diet police for some reason ! LOL I just ignore them and keep going on for myself. ! Happy New Year ! I gained like 10 pounds over the holidays..I need to go back to Induction and get serious. I actaully miss eating low carb. That is a good sign. :) God Bless ya Amy

Happy New Year to you! This is a topic that I had such a great role model of support in my wife, and I am trying to be one to my kids. Thanks for noticing the passion, and I want to wish you a great 2009!

The good news about the holidays is you know exactly how to address the problem and already have the recipe. You can do this!

[marcybanks]

Thank you so much for this... this is so helpful. You touch on the real aspects of weightloss and how it affects not just the person but the other people in their lives..

Just terrific work. God bless in 2009. Please keep doing this. I totally rely on your vids to keep me on track

[bowulf]

You are very welcome. I know from personal experience just how great that support can be, and unfortunately from my own actions how wrong it can be directed too. Just trying prevent others from making the same mistakes I have done or heard others making in the past.

Here's to 2009 being a very successful year!

This is a great video, NOT just for Atkins, but for weight loss of any kind including surgery!

Thanks so much for playing this! We should show all of our spouses this vid!

[bowulf]

That was what I was thinking. How do I get this video in front of those that really need to see it? Most of the time it is the weight loss person themselves browsing for videos, so I hope it does indeed reach those spouses or friends.

Thanks for watching!

Stikam make's my PC Shut Down:/

Jimmy More used Skype to record his Pod-Cast's, and I think they come out great!!

[bowulf]

Then it's a good thing I changed it to Ustream. The link is in the video notes or in the twitter stream from earlier today.

[bowulf]

I decided to go with Ustream rather than Stickam because Stickam seemed a bit too Myspace oriented. Ustream was more professional looking but had more ads. Check the video notes for the URL.

What I would like is to find out a common time that I could set up with weekly low carb QnA session. Tonight 9 pm CST will be my first episode.

[bowulf]

Thanks Yvette for watching. I tell you effective support while perhaps not critical makes life so much easier. My wife has made my exercising and eliminated most of my excuses on why not to. I still had to do the work, but she made it possible. This video is my homage to her.

[Nicsaprincess]

Great Video:)

Informative, Precise, and very Well rounded Information for MEN and WOMAN...!!!

SUPPORT is so important when it come's to losing weight because overweight people are already in such a fragile state of mind.

Thanx for responding to my Vlog. It's alway's good to know that their are still a few Super Spouse's in the world.-Nicsaprincess

[bowulf]

Thanks for helping me with the video, and sorry if I massacred your pseudonym in the video. You and your story were a big help and inspiration.

[bowulf]

My stickam is up tonight for awhile. I will be on and off though. If you want to chat I will be around.
