Weight-loss wonders shed half their body weight
牛人自己鍛煉減掉一半體重
This morning on Take it Off Today, shedding half their body weight. It’s truly an amazing feat, especially to people who've struggled their entire lives to lose weight. And in a moment we are gonna meet three people who did just that. Their stories are featured on People magazine’s annual Half Their Size issue. Galina Espinoza is the magazine’s senior editor.
今天的快樂減肥節目，我們介紹幾位減了一半體重的人，他們的故事令人興奮，尤其對那些全力以赴減肥的人來說，更是充滿正能量。等會兒我們會為大家介紹這三位創造奇跡的人。他們的故事發表在《人物》雜志上，話題就是“如何減掉一半的體重”。Galina Espinoza是該雜志資深編輯。
-Galina, good morning to you.
Galina，早上好。
-Good morning.
早上好。
-Last week we met three people on the show who have lost half of their body weight. Today we are gonna meet three more. What is it about these folks that make their stories so unique?
上周我們在節目中見到了減掉一半體重的三個人。今天我們再為大家介紹三個人。這些人的減肥故事為何如此獨特呢？
-I think the fact that they are able to do it on their own, you know, we get used to seeing reality television versions of how to lose weight where people go and spend time in a special camp and they have trainers and nutritionists.
我認為，這是因為他們全靠自己的力量減肥。你知道，我們經常看到電視真人秀節目，介紹人們去健身館，或者加入特別的減肥訓練營，有專門的教練和營養師。
-Well, don’t knock that too much on NBC. There is something good about that, but...
在NBC節目中不要過分抨擊這種方法了。確實有很多好處，但是……
-No, absolutely. But for most people, it’s not realistic. These are people who’re in their everyday life spent years working it in, figuring it out how to eat again, how to exercise, reprogramming themselves.
不，確實如此。但是對大部分人來說，這種方法并不是很現實。而這些人花費了多年的時間研究如何飲食，如何鍛煉，如何重塑自身形象。
-Exactly!
是的。
-And if they can do it, really anyone can.
如果他們能做到的話，那任何一個人都能做到。
-As you pointed out, they’ve done it through diet and exercise, the old fashion way.
就像你提到的，他們是通過飲食和鍛煉的方式達到這種效果的，這是非常老的方法。
-And it’s a lot of hard work and a lifetime commitment, and I think that’s the inspiration.
需要努力，需要堅持，我認為這就是他們鼓舞人心的地方。
-So let’s get started, we have a before picture of Brandy Blackburn who is 25 years old from Virginia, she lost 177 pounds from her starting weight of 340 pounds. There she is before, Brandy, we can not wait, come on out.
讓我們開始為大家介紹。首先看一下來自佛吉尼亞的25歲的Brandy Blackburn的照片。她以前340磅，成功減肥177磅。這是他以前的照片，Brandy，她等不及了，已經出來了。
-She looks, you look fantastic.
你看上去非常棒。
-Thank you.
謝謝！
-How do you feel? I know you used to be self-conscious about your body.
你覺得怎么樣？我知道，你過去對你的身體感到非常自卑。
-Oh, it’s amazing now. I am totally a different person since I’ve got the weight off.
現在我覺得非常好。自從減肥之后，我覺得我獲得了新生。
-You know, in fifth grade, I must say, you already weighted 200 pounds. By the time you graduated high school, your heaviest weight was 340 pounds. Why do you think, now looking back, that your weight spiraled out of control like that?
你知道，五年級的時候，你的體重已經達到200磅了。高中畢業的時候，你的體重最高值達到340磅。現在回顧起來，你覺得以前為何你的體重會失去控制？
-I had awful eating habits. I never learned like good nutrition and good eating value and I never worked out. I’m from the South, so eating is a way of life, we all enjoy it.
我的飲食習慣非常糟糕。我從來不知道營養和飲食價值等概念，我也從來沒有鍛煉過。我來自南方，所以吃是一種生活方式，我們都喜歡。
-We all like it fried down there too.
我們都喜歡吃炸的東西。
-Oh, absolutely, double fry anything down there. And I just never learned those really good core values of how to eat well and work out.
當然，我們都喜歡炸的東西。我從來都不知道吃的價值，怎樣吃得更好，也不知道要鍛煉。
-And once you started working out, exercising and dieting, it took you two years to reach your goal weight. Were there moments along that pathway where you thought, 'You know what? I am not gonna be able to do this.' Because everybody has plateaus and...
開始鍛煉，運動和節食之后，你花費了兩年的時間來達到目標體重。在這個過程中，你有沒有想過：“你知道嗎？我可能做不到這一點。因為每個人都會經歷停滯期……”
-Oh, right. But I found a really great support system at SparkPeople.com. They helped me really get through those tough plateaus and keep going.
是的，但是我在網站上找到了一個非常好的支持系統。他們幫助我度過那些艱難的時期，讓我堅持下來。
