I must say that was a great interview that you conducted. I myself have been inspired from what Bill has accomplished to change my own life. I'm 36 and 5'1" and at winter last year I was a whopping 193 lbs. That 200 number was looking me straight in the eye and I didn't like it at all. I know it probably doesn't seem like much weight to you with what you overcame. Congrats and props to you for your achievements as well. Job well done! You look awesome! As of right now though (6-7-08, Bill's B-day today as well) I am down to 134 lbs. (59 lbs. lost). Bill and I have been e-mailing back and forth for the last (almost) 4 months now and he has been a total inspiration, mentor and almost like a friend to me. His advice, support and encouragement that he has shared with me is priceless. I seriously could not have done this without him. I even had the awesome opportunity to talk with Bill on the phone a couple of months ago. He is truly one of the nicest, most down to earth gentleman one could acquaint themselves with. Within 30 seconds or so of talking to him I felt like I'd known him forever. Awesome, awesome guy. Of course I cannot thank him enough. There is a possible opportunity coming up to where I might get to meet him face to face soon here. Hopefully it works out. And in response to your comment to Sue P. Bill is truly an inspirational guy. I hope others that read this find the story inspiring. I'm just trying to take what Bill has done for me and pass the buck and try to help others in our situation now. Sincerely, Tammey Brown Hi Jimmy,

I found your podcast with Billy G. while I was surfing the internet. I must say that was a great interview that you conducted. I myself have been inspired from what Bill has accomplished to change my own life. I’m 36 and 5′1″ and at winter last year I was a whopping 193 lbs. That 200 number was looking me straight in the eye and I didn’t like it at all. I know it probably doesn’t seem like much weight to you with what you overcame. Congrats and props to you for your achievements as well. Job well done! You look awesome! As of right now though (6-7-08, Bill’s B-day today as well) I am down to 134 lbs. (59 lbs. lost).

Bill and I have been e-mailing back and forth for the last (almost) 4 months now and he has been a total inspiration, mentor and almost like a friend to me.

And in response to your comment to Sue P. Bill is truly an inspirational guy.

I just don't have the time to do that, but I'm happy to have the assistance of anyone who would like to start transcribing my interviews. Hopefully you can get a good connection to listen at some point and/or download the shows from iTunes into your iPod. As for the chocolate winners, I announce them in the podcast and hear back from the winners via e-mail. The non-interview podcasts all have transcripts, so you can READ if you were a winner. :) THANK YOU again for writing! Hey Jane,

I hate to miss anything! Also I really like the Biggest Loser show and want to hear what the winners have to say. Thanks. Also, who are winning the candy bars? Maybe mine will be in the mail, so they say. Ha! Ha! Jane Jimmy,

I don't have the time to do a transcript of interviews...it would take me at least a half day to a day to write out and edit. Wish I had that luxury. Hopefully you can get a connection that lets you listen. Check out iTunes and download it to your iPod if you have one. THANKS Aaron!

A lot of folks can't listen to it and need to read it... There's also the whole ADA compliancy issue ;-) Thanks for the wonderful blog! I've lost 70lbs to date and have been reading your blog since day 1. Jimmy,

I get more information from your Biggest Loser blog or audio interviews than I get from the shows. The shows are good but your info is better. Never bored when it comes to successful weight loss stories. Jimmy, anything you do either verbal or written is fine by me.

Better than the show in some ways as you get the real inside scoop. Keep em coming. The Biggest Loser should have you do a special where you do one on ones ala Barbara Walters with the contestants. P.S. Bill comes across as a decent, stand-up guy. Love these interviews Jimmy. Better than the show in some ways as you get the real inside scoop. Keep em coming.

I hope to have about 11 blog interviews with various other contestants from Season 4 of "The Biggest Loser" very soon for even more insights about the show. There's certainly a lot more that goes on behind-the-scenes than people even realize. I'm glad you love my new chocolate bars, too. THANK YOU for giving them a try and it makes me happy to hear you are enjoying them. :) My pleasure Cathleen! Bill was so humble and genuine which makes him so much more real than some big persona. He was fun to talk to and apologetic about taking so long to do the interview after he committed to it about a month ago. Classy classy guy! THANKS for listening, Scott!

That was very interesting to listen to.. I can't wait to hear the rest of it... Funny he speaks so highly of Jillian.. b/c the show does potray her to be so tough and harsh... it's apparent from the outcome of the show that she's gotten something to drive individuals that the other 2 don't. It was really neat to hear more from the "insider" who was actually there.. Thanks for having him on... Take care... Cathleen Hey there Jimmy… That was very interesting to listen to..

The season finale was awesome; in that it's hard to visualize big weight loss. Knowing and seeing that somebody else achieved it makes it more real. It's still hard for me to even comprehend that I WILL ONE DAY HAVE LOST OVER 150 POUNDS but I get more confident with each day. I'm never hungry on this lifestyle. It's awesome. Keep on keeping on. Anxious for my bars. Thanks much Sharon Jimmy, This episode has a lot to do with our wanting to lose weight. The season finale was awesome; in that it’s hard to visualize big weight loss.
