For those of you who are relatively new, this is something I started doing last fall after I read an article in Oprah magazine. Brian Wansink, Ph.D., the director of the Food and Brand Lab at Cornell University and author of "Mindless Eating: Why We Eat Read More

As upset as I am at myself for this past week (primarily yesterday), I'm glad to have this opportunity to talk about it. Because it does happen to everybody once in a while. When you're first getting started, it's really discouraging when you have a bad Read More

Today is the second anniversary of the day I joined PEERtrainer. That day, I weighed 178 pounds, having gained 16 pounds back that I had lost on Weight Watchers the year before. I had stopped exercising, I was eating mindlessly, I was back up to a size Read More

As I mentioned, I have begun receiving quite a few letters since I added the link to email me. It's so interesting - almost every single person who has written has asked me about the skin issue. Did I have a big problem with it; how much did the surgery Read More

Before I left for New York the last time, my contact at Good Morning America asked me if I still had any of my old "fat clothes" left. She said she wasn't sure if they were going to use them as a visual, but that I should bring them just in case. I told Read More

Some of you have already noticed that I've added an "email Kate" option into the links on the right-hand side of the screen. I've been getting letters, mostly from new members, and I've really enjoyed reading and responding to them. I may (with permission) Read More

For those of you who are new, Forrest is my most recent personal trainer - we're not currently working together one-on-one, but he is a black belt at the Self Mastery Foundation, where I take tae kwon do, so we see each other pretty much every week, and Read More

Had our segment not been cut so short, this is what I really wanted to say on Good Morning America. I've talked about this before, but I think now is a good time to give a refresher, especially with so many new members. I have basically created what Read More

I can honestly say I have NEVER had more fun in my life, nor such an exhausting day! The shoot lasted from 8 am to 5:30 pm on Sunday (May 6) and at 5:45 the car arrived to take us to the airport - I fell asleep on my husband's lap before we even turned Read More

I found out about one minute before it aired that it was on Entertainment Tonight, so I know the cat's out of the bag and I won't be leaking any secrets. The reason I went to New York last weekend was to do a photo shoot for People Magazine - one of their Read More

Yes, it finally happened. Yesterday, I was absolutely positively not able to find the time to work out. My husband and I went on a quick weekend trip to New York to work on a top-secret project - I will be able to tell you ALL about it in just a couple Read More

Weigh-in May 2: 154.0 I decided on my last goal late last night. I often work out late, and I do my abs at night, so I generally get hungry and need to eat something. I've been eating a lot more fruit lately, so I figured I'd do well to stick to only Read More

OK, a quick re-cap on April. I forgot to weigh in this morning, so I'll do that tomorrow. I was successful on my goal of doing an ab workout every night, and I can see the benefits of that by now - I have some definition, especially in my upper abs. Read More
