On\\ntonight\'s show Dr Fitness and the Fat Guy\\nlearn how to stay motivated in order to lose weight and achieve all of your goals. Donna Krech, creator of the Donna Krech Connection shared her 7 reasons people lose their motivation and what they can do to get back on track. The number one reason was that people get distracted, they lose focus. And in order to stay focused you have to figure out your "Big Why" Why are you really trying to lose weight - she says it\'s probably not what you think. It\'s not to fit into your college clothes or get to your high school weight. You\'re going to have to dig deeper than that.

And we closed the show with Pam Vetter, a celebrant from Los Angeles. For those not in the know a celebrant helps families heal with uplifting funerals. PAm has done celebrity funerals like Richard Pryor\'s but spends most of her time helping regular folks go out in a way that really celebrates their life instead of a typical sad preachy service from a religious leader who in some cases barely knows the departed. Funeral\'s don\'t have to be a buzz kill they can really be meaningful, fun and inspirational. Visit Pam online at www.thefunerallady.com or www.celebrantpam.com
