Daily Word for Weight Loss Spiritual Guidance to Give You Courage on Your Journey

Kat Carney shed 90 pounds in 14 months through proper diet, nutritional education, and lots of exercise. To keep herself motivated, she tore weight-loss success stories out of fitness magazines and hung them on a wall so that she was surrounded by "success." She shared her own success story when she was hired as a correspondent on cable's "Fit: Resort and Spa." That same year, she worked next to weight-loss guru Richard Simmons on the nationally syndicated television show Dream Maker. In January 2000, Kat decided to put all the stories she had collected in one place: www.TheWeighWeWere.com. She sends out free "Daily InspirWeighTional" quotes via e-mail to thousands of people. Kat was asked to tell her story on the Discovery Channel's new "Health" network and 5 months later was hired to host their new prime-time series The Body Invaders. In June 2000, after receiving thousands of e-mails from women around the world with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome, Kat launched www.SoulCysters.com, the largest online community for women diagnosed with PCOS. Kat currently works as a health news anchor for CNN Headline News.
