Oprah’s Weight Loss: How She Lost 25 Pounds In 6 Weeks

Oprah has to find out what's eating her (emotionally) inside. Once she discovers that, she can release it and finally lose the extra weight for good.

Relax, the stories come from Oprah herself who uses this as a marketing and image-building tactic. Connects her with her audience and makes her millions every time. She knows this and has been working this same exact scam every 2 or 3 years since the 80s.

She's been pulling this since the 80s. Gain weight, lose 25 pounds and make millions off an overhyped media blitz for 'The New Oprah Diet!' She does this every 2 or 3 years! It's ridiculous!

How long before she falls off the wagon yet again? Anyone care to venture a guess?

Who watches exercise programs on TV anymore, with so many online programming and DVD options available. The era of Jack LaLanne is long dead. She's often had healthcare professionals on her program, I believe. Although I'm not a viewer of her network and only saw her TV program a few times. However, this is what family members tell me.

I knew the "O" haters would come out of the woodwork. Believe me there are tons (no pun intended) of overweight people. Look around folks......I see them everyday. Difference is they don't have jack, and "O" has billions.

Agreed. She completely missed a golden opportunity to provide a program that would help people with one of America's most debilitating health issues: obesity. And who better to promote...It's a real headscratcher.

There's more here than diet. Something inside craves food. Changing a diet, or exercising doesn't alter that. But what is it? There seems to be a correlation between those who are not breast fed and obesity. That may be the big underlying cause of eating problems - a lack of one full year of breast feeding. If that is true there should be a direct correlation between lack of one year of breast feeding and weight problems. That can be tested. Also these problems may play a lesser role: The lack of sleep and obesity connection. There is a connection between excess body fat and immune deficiency. We also know the obese have more physical pain. And there seems to be a connection between when you eat and obesity. I seldom see those comments made. The studies for all of these are pretty strong. Three things that may help (after the unconscious breast feeding trauma is solved - and again that seems to be the big unconscious drive for all eating problems) 1. Pull back on the amount of carbs you eat. 2. Never eat after dark - give your digestion system enough to digest and switch over to sleep mode. 3. Get enough sleep. 4. Exercise daily - or just move more.

Unfortunately many people do. She has introduced more voodoo into American health than any other single person. She made stars of the purveyors of patent medicines and other hokum and helped convince people like Kim Tinkham to abandon medicine for placebo shams (The Secret) that led their death. If Tinkham had undergone traditional treatment she would have had virtually 100% survival.

And she miraculously dropped 230 lbs in an instant.. His name is Stedman.

Ain't that the truth!

To be fair, Oprah has made her weight struggles one of the biggest focuses of her TV career, and it is a big part of her appeal -- and she knows this. Millions of viewers identify with her because she IS the richest, most powerful woman in the world, and even SHE struggles with overeating, etc. , it makes them feel better about their own problems in that arena. If she'd kept off that original 60 pounds in 1985 or whenever it was, she would not have nearly as devoted and large an audience.

This is the sickness that has our nation by it's throat. Here you have the most POWERFUL THE MOST RICHEST WOMAN in the world. She has major influence. She went to Africa and built a school for young girls, She's put thousands of young African American men through college. On her show. She reminded us about the importance of giving, whether it's a house, a car, or a buck. And after all that and then some the only thing we can focus on is her weight???? Yes I know how important being healthy is. But if the only thing that people can do OR want to do is talk about her weight....then this nation is worse off than I thought and that is sad. Imagine what that does to young women out there today. Girls you can achieve anything you want to in this world, Just don't be a little on the heavy side... SAD!

I put my glasses on and still don't see it. Were did she lose it at? Was it at the dinner table?
