Pete Thomas, NBC’s Most Successful “Biggest Loser” Honored for Conquering Obesity

Local Resident Nominated for a Governor’s Fitness Award

LANSING, Mich.— After being a contestant on “The Biggest Loser”, Peter Thomas makes it his mission to help others become weight loss winners as well.  Thomas is one of three individuals in the Conquering Obesity category, which honors individuals who have conquered obesity through dedication to physical activity and healthy eating. As an honoree, Thomas will attend the award’s gala event at Ford Field in Detroit on April 26 where the overall winner of the category will be announced. The Governor’s Fitness Awards serve as a platform for recognizing individuals, public officials and organizations that are committed to healthy living. For event reservations and information please visit michiganfitness.org/gfa.

Thomas’ commitment to healthy living began in November 2005 when he walked away from the finale of NBC’s “The Biggest Loser” a winner and a loser. He won $100,000 for losing the most weight of all the contestants that season. What he lost was 185 pounds in only nine short months, most of which he lost at home after being “voted off” by the other contestants. At his largest, Thomas tipped the scales at over 416 lbs.  As a child, Thomas never learned about nutrition and exercise. In his youth, he was often left alone or with his younger sister— forced to find food wherever he could.

“Being on ‘The Biggest Loser’ really saved my life,” Thomas says, “the knowledge I gained revolutionized the way I think, eat and exercise.”

More than five years after being voted off the show, Thomas continues to maintain his weight-loss and he’s also inspiring others to become “Biggest Losers.”  Since 2007, hundreds of individuals have lost thousands of combined pounds with his personally developed his nutrition and exercise program. As a full-time motivational speaker, teacher, author, corporate wellness consultant and spokesperson, Thomas now travels and spreads his ‘Winning Principles’ to organizations worldwide and via www.PeteThomas.com.

The Governor’s Council on Physical Fitness, Health and Sports and the Michigan Fitness Foundation envision a physically educated population with the knowledge and skills to enjoy a healthy, vigorous and safe lifestyle in communities designed to support physical activity.  For more information, visit www.michiganfitness.org.

Season 2 At-Home Winner of NBC’s “The Biggest Loser”

In my last blog post I helped establish for you that you MUST have a team in order to make weight loss a SUCCESS for YOU. Now this week, I’m going to introduce you to your first two teammates.

Medical Teammate

First and foremost, you need to consult your physician before you pursue any new diet or exercise regimen. Your medical teammate will be important at the beginning as they give you permission to exert yourself. They will also be important as you exercise because you will experience some aches and pains.

Here are a couple tips I want you to remember when finding medical teammates.

• You need to get permission from a medical teammate before you begin any exercise or diet regimen
• You need to talk to your medical teammate concerning your goals

I say this because quite often when you see your doctor about some ache brought on by exercise, your doctor is going to say, “Well, stop doing what you’re doing and it won’t hurt anymore.” That is unacceptable if you’re going to become healthy long-term. And your doctor will understand when you explain and be able to work from your goals, rather than contrary to them.

Working out will naturally cause your muscles and joints to hurt. Especially if you are overweight. But you CAN work through that! You need to know if you have a true injury, or if the pain is going to go away as you get in shape and lose weight. And your medical teammates will help you with that.

The second part of your team is…

Workout Teammates

Of course you need a workout teammate! Someone who will go with you to the gym and count reps with you, or someone who will come over and do an exercise DVD with you. Loafing is incredibly easy if you don’t have a steady workout partner. Your body does NOT want to work as hard as you need it to, and your mind is not always going to be your friend. You need someone to KEEP you exercising!

When it comes to working out, it’s best if you have three types of teammates:

• You need teammates who are more advanced than you so they can INSPIRE you to improve
• You need teammates who are at your level so they can keep you ACCOUNTABLE
• You need teammates who are not yet at your level so that you can REACH OUT and cement your weight loss goals

I think it’s very important to have someone who is more experienced and knowledgeable than you at a particular thing, who really can show you how to eat correctly and how to work out correctly. You also need someone at your level so they can keep you accountable. You may find it strange, but I believe you also need to have someone who’s a little behind you that you can bring along on your journey. That’s because, as you learn about health and wellness and nutrition and exercise, these things will become even more solidified in your mind as you coach others.

And there you have it–the first two important teammates you will need to build up an INVINCIBLE weight loss team perfect for YOU. I’ll be here next week to tell you the next three important teammates to join you!

In the meantime, let’s continue this conversation on Facebook. When you Sign up you’ll receive my free e-book, “Ten Tips from a Biggest Loser: How to Lose Weight and Keep It Off!”

I look forward to helping you reach your goals in 2012. Whether you need a motivational speaker, teacher, coach or corporate wellness consultant—I can help. Contact me at www.PeteThomas.com.

Remember, There’s a Winner Within you!

Why do some people quit their diets and gain all the weight back they have lost? There are a variety of reasons, but one of the most important is the most overlooked. It’s so simple that people miss it in their search for some complicated hormonal or genetic answer.

So what are YOU lacking in their quest for better health? Is it a magic pill or special workout or something to sprinkle on their food?

Actually, it’s none of the above. What YOU lack is a…

TEAM

That’s right, a team. I know what you may be thinking and it’s true … a team by itself will not cause you to lose weight. But the lack of a TEAM may be the “make or break” element that keeps you on the program or causes you to get discouraged and quit.

A lot of articles have been written on The Biggest Loser weight loss approach. A lot of so-called professionals have commented on the contestants’ dieting habits and our workout regimens. But most people overlook the MOST potent factor that the show brings to its contestants, its “secret sauce.” That factor is a strong, supportive, 24-hour-a-day TEAM environment.

There is no way I can overstate this – you canNOT lose weight alone. This is a lifestyle change you are contemplating … this is not like deciding whether or not a new outfit of clothes looks good on you. It’s a little more important than that. And yet, most of us would be more likely to seek help or guidance about a new outfit than we would weight loss. But when it comes to weight loss, we want to do it alone.

Weight loss is one of those things that people think, “Oh, I can do this on my own.” Dumb, dumb, dumb. Weight loss is not something you’re going to be successful at on your own. Now you may be asking, “Why do I need a team?” The two main reasons: accountability and encouragement. You will need them BOTH in large quantities if you want to be successful.

So I’m here to help you out. There are seven teammates you WILL need this year to help you reach your weight loss goals. Stay tuned each week as I show you exactly what YOU need to achieve the weight loss YOU want.

In the meantime, let’s continue this conversation on Facebook. When you Sign up you’ll receive my free e-book, “Ten Tips from a Biggest Loser: How to Lose Weight and Keep It Off!”

So far, we’ve talked about restrictive diets, dumb diets, and those that don’t encourage good eating habits.  We’ve talked about a myriad of reasons to quit dieting.  Now, however, we’ve come to one of the most important aspects of dieting— the short-term diet and why you should avoid it.

Many diet plans will help you lose weight for a short time. If you’re an actress and you have to lose 30 pounds by next month for a once-in-a-lifetime role, then fine – pursue a freaky diet like the lemonade and syrup diet. But if you want to keep those 30 pounds off, you’ll be looking for another plan, because that lemonade diet is ultimately unsustainable.

This brings me to my Number One Principle of Nutrition. Notice I said nutrition, not diet, because I prefer that you pursue good health rather than short term weight loss. My Number One Principle of Nutrition is … never, ever, EVER start a diet that you can’t maintain for the rest of your life.

What I want you to do is move from dieting to eating for life. Many of us – myself included – have struggled with weight loss for a long time; we’ve struggled with eating poorly over the years, and so we just can’t be on a diet. We have to be on a way of life. There is a big difference between pursuing a diet and pursuing a lifestyle. One is doomed to failure; the other is destined for success.

Where to Turn for Help

Hopefully I have convinced you that just being on a diet is not enough. If you want to lose weight in 2012 – and keep it off – you will have to systematically learn how to treat your body correctly in the areas of eating and exercise. You will have to train your mind to reject bad habits and start new ones.

You can find helpful tips on eating to lose weight at my web site: www.PeteThomas.com There you will learn how to figure out how many calories your body needs (your BMR, or Basal Metabolic Rate) and some simple tips for modifying your food to reduce your daily caloric intake.

The truth is, you don’t need to spend a fortune on special foods provided by some diet company. And you don’t need to be told when to eat and when and where. You need to be educated so that you can live healthfully and independently in 2012.

So what are you waiting for?  Write that unhealthy diet plan your “Dear John” letter and find a plan that will help you for a lifetime.

I invite you to join me on Facebook where we can continue this conversation on a daily basis online. When you Sign up, you’ll receive my free e-book, “Ten Tips from a Biggest Loser: How to Lose Weight and Keep It Off!”

I look forward to helping you reach your goals in 2012.  Whether you need a motivational speaker, teacher, coach or corporate wellness consultant—I can help.   I also welcome you to drop in or join my SLIM U™ Boot Camp and Seminar in Ann Arbor, MI if you’re in the area.  Learn more at www.PeteThomas.com
