Hello Paul, I am not fat, overweight or a victim of any kind. I enjoy watching your show, it motivates me to maintain my healthy life style, to choose a veggie platter or an apple while watching a movie rather than junk foods!! I exercise regularly at least 4x a week and surround myself with positive people and good energy. (as much as humanly possible). please keep up the good work, your not bullying your motivating.
Your show is inspiring to anyone who needs or wants a lifestyle change, please keep up the good work, I’ll be watching!! Thank-you

Dear Paul

I Love to watch your show, I’m 44 and a double below the knee amputee I use fore arm crutches to balance and walk. Being a bi lateral amputee takes twice the energy to be ambilitory. I was born with
cerebral palsy and I have worked all my life to stay on my feet. I have lost 45 pounds in the past 8 mo.
I’m waiting to have the gastric bypass surgery by getting all the weight off will make it easier to exercise.
I have 2 ruptured disk in my back, I have a body flex workout bar and I know that in the next year I will be down to my goal of 150 pounds. I weigh every 3 months I think that way I can see my progress and not get discouraged. Thank You for encouraging shows!!!!!
Thank You,
Arlisha Easterwood

Paul your show is great inspiration to all who wish to live a healthier active lifestyle. A had been quite overweight years ago being 5′9″ and weighing 255lbs. I am now a trim 175lbs and eat and exercise better although not quite healthy enough.

The biggest part of my success can be attributed to not eating after my dinnertime meal. Even slept better that my body wasn’t digesting all night.

Keep up the good work Paul and to all who long for that healthy, active lifestyle be strong and patient. It won’t happen overnight.

Darchi Arch says “I enjoy the concept of the show X-weighted but I really can’t tolerate the way that Paul talks to the participants. I understand that he was bullied as a teen, but Paul BULLIES the participants”

I don’t agree that it is bullying. No one should take it personally.

Hi Paul, I’m hooked on your show. I was wondering if you ever work with someone who only has 20lbs to lose? Here’s my story, I am 54 yrs old, 5″4 woman who weigh’s 145 pounds. I am very frustrated with dieting, and food. I’m allergic to chicken and turkey so I end up eating alot of fish and sometimes
beef, pork. I’m retired so I have no excuses , I do go to the gym 4 times a week, Zumba dance class 3 times a week, water aerobic 5 times a week. Help, what am I doing wrong? I have stayed to same weight for a year now. I can’t wait to hear from you. Thank you.
Sincerely, Patty

Hi Paul, My name is Kim, as many have written above, I need to lose weight! My story is simple; I have gained weight for many reasons: neglecting a healthy lifestyle (honestly, laziness and poor decisions on my behalf), hereditary obesity, and polycystic ovarian syndrome. I am currently the mother of two boys (Caleb is a year and a half, Eli is a month and a half), and I need to implement better life decisions for not only my sake but also to make sure they are brought up to naturally implement intelligent healthy choices. If I don’t change my lifestyle choices it will not only affect me, but all those who are around me. With my current state, I am also not at my peaked and people do not see my true potential, and I am far from finding my own potential and my true self. I guess I’m kind of hiding from myself. Now is my time to shine and I need a coach. Can you help me out? My goal is to lose nearly 50lbs in 6 months. I currently weight 175lbs and would love to be 130lbs. I look forward to speaking with you in the near future. Thank you in advance for your help!

I enjoy the concept of the show X-weighted but I really can’t tolerate the way that Paul talks to the participants. I understand that he was bullied as a teen, but Paul BULLIES the participants. The participants lower their heads as though they’ve become victims, yet again, of a behaviour that many have experienced before. Victimizing others is DIFFERENT than motivating them. Many offer excuses, but if Paul is truly a professional, he could motivate them & counter any excuses without ridiculing the participants.
