There has been a request to start a Dr. Phil Book Study here in 300+. It was done about a year ago, but there are so many new people since then that it was thought to be a good idea.

Greetings to all lurkers and posters.

This is going to be a new thread topic focused on "studying" Dr. Phil's The Ultimate Weight Solution. We invite you to read the entire book or take it one chapter at a time, following the discussion within this thread.

Each Monday we will start discussing a new chapter for that week. This will be a 12 week program. We hope all of you join in every week.

It is recommended you have a pen, pencil and/or a colored highlighter with you as you read.

Mark every word, sentence, phrase or paragraph that hit home for YOU.

Read each chapter as if you are going to be tested .. (You're not going to be tested.)

Then come to this thread and share what hit home for you... what you took away with you from that chapter and how you are incorporating it into YOUR life.

Feel free to post often ... you may get a dozen different topics you want to share per each chapter.

I know many can read the entire book in an evening... others will need a week... while some of us may need the entire 12 weeks. There are 12 chapters ... plus a few extra topics at the end. But the idea of this thread is to share what we learned from each chapter and learn from others insights.

You do not have to be a Dr. Phil fan... many here are not. BUT... let's face it... we can all learn something new that just might be what will make a difference.

Each Monday anyone can feel free to copy and paste this introduction and then start the new study. Be sure to title it Book Study /Chapter #/ date-date.

We are looking forward to reading everyone's input.

Ok, girls, here's the thread for Chapter Two. There wasn't much traffic on the Chapter One Thread so I hope that all of you that have requested this will pop on in and post. I'll "sticky" this one again this week. The Chapter One Thread has been "unstickied" and will eventually fall to the bottom of the list. If you still have things to post about Chapter One, feel free to post it on the correct thread and that will bring it back up to the top.
