b'First we will podcast our weekly\\nDr Fitness and the Fat Guy radio show in its entirety then we\\u2019ll\\nrelease just the guest interviews throughout the week.\\nSo please\\nclick POD to listen to this recent interview from the Dr. Fitness and\\nthe Fat\\nGuy Radio Show. Or now you can subscribe to just the interviews from our radio show on iTunes by clicking this link.

We\\nlearn how all about a website that will help you stick to your commitments. Jordan Goldberg who is with the website www.stickk.com told us all about how a bunch of Yale students and professors devised this simple but effective way to keep someone compliant to their weight loss program, their exercise plan or even their attempt to stop smoking.

stickK\\npromotes healthier and happier living by helping people achieve their\\npersonal goals through the signing of Commitment Contracts. Happier\\npeople = happier world!

\\n\\n\\n

On stickK, you draw up an official commitment contract that binds\\nyou to achieving a personal goal, be it big or small. By agreeing to\\nthis contract, you publicly state your goal and commit to achieving it.\\nOr, if grand public pronouncements aren\\u2019t your style, you can tell only\\npeople you select. Either way, you\\u2019ve committed to a goal and people\\nknow about it - so now it\\u2019s your reputation at stake!

\\n\\n\\n

To make you accountable as you work toward your goal, you file\\nweekly reports on your success. (And don\\u2019t even think about lying \\u2014\\nbecause you appoint someone you know as a \\u201creferee? to verify the\\naccuracy of your reporting!) You also enlist as many Supporters as\\nyou\\u2019d like to encourage you, via the website, every step of the way. If\\nbeing part of a group gives you momentum, you can join a community of\\npeople on the site who are working toward the same goal as you (this\\nfeature will be ready in February). To keep yourself focused throughout\\nyour adventure, you record your progress \\u2013 daily \\u2014 in a personal\\njournal.

\\n\\n\\n

Want to up the ante? Gamble more than your reputation. Place a financial wager on yourself.
