"Weight Loss and the Mind" Podcast Wildly Popular; 2,033 Subscribers in 7 Weeks

Seven week old Podcast flies past the 2,000 subscriber count. "Weight Loss and the Mind" shows listeners how to use the power of their mind to reduce their waist and motivate themselves towards success.

Vancouver, BC (PRWEB) June 26, 2006 -- Launched April 28, 2006, the "Weight Loss and the Mind" Podcast reached and surpassed the 2,000 subscriber milestone June 23rd, 2006, a mere 7 weeks after it started. According to POdomatic (www.podomatic.com), Weight Loss and the Mind is the most popular podcast in their Health category.

"I have worked with thousands of people to successfully and safely reduce their waist, and to be able to reach out and now help thousands more from the comfort of their ipod is a real thrill," said Shane James, one of the co-hosts. "Most people focus on their diet or exercise to lose weight. This is important. But it is like a three legged stool. If you are missing one leg, the other two legs are not going to keep the stool up."

Weight Loss and the Mind focuses on the usually neglected variable in the weight loss equation: The Mind. What beliefs run you? What behaviors sabotage your success? These and other questions are obviously on the mind of many people as the podcast continues to grow in popularity. To date, downloads of the podcast exceed 8300.

During their podcasts, Shane and Paton cover:

* How to stay motivated on your diet

* What to do when you have a bad day

* The importance of accountability

* The effect your beliefs have on staying with your weight loss plan

* When to use visualization

* What to do when you fall off your diet

* Using the power of your emotions to keep you on track

and much more

Weight Loss and the Mind (http://weightloss.podomatic.com) started out as an experiment for Shane James and his partner, Scott Paton, author of "Podcasting Unleashed". "Scott has taught thousands of entrepreneurs around the world how to make a podcast. We wanted to see if we had a number one Podcast what the results would be."

The first result was that both James and Paton lost 10 pounds each in the 7 weeks following the advice they gave in their podcast. The second was a large, growing group of dedicated listeners.
