Weight-loss wonders shed half their body weight
牛人自己锻炼减掉一半体重
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.
今天的快乐减肥节目，我们介绍几位减了一半体重的人，他们的故事令人兴奋，尤其对那些全力以赴减肥的人来说，更是充满正能量。等会儿我们会为大家介绍这三位创造奇迹的人。他们的故事发表在《人物》杂志上，话题就是“如何减掉一半的体重”。Galina Espinoza是该杂志资深编辑。
-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?
上周我们在节目中见到了减掉一半体重的三个人。今天我们再为大家介绍三个人。这些人的减肥故事为何如此独特呢？
-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.
我认为，这是因为他们全靠自己的力量减肥。你知道，我们经常看到电视真人秀节目，介绍人们去健身馆，或者加入特别的减肥训练营，有专门的教练和营养师。
-Well, don’t knock that too much on NBC. There is something good about that, but...
在NBC节目中不要过分抨击这种方法了。确实有很多好处，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，确实如此。但是对大部分人来说，这种方法并不是很现实。而这些人花费了多年的时间研究如何饮食，如何锻炼，如何重塑自身形象。
-Exactly!
是的。
-And if they can do it, really anyone can.
如果他们能做到的话，那任何一个人都能做到。
-As you pointed out, they’ve done it through diet and exercise, the old fashion way.
就像你提到的，他们是通过饮食和锻炼的方式达到这种效果的，这是非常老的方法。
-And it’s a lot of hard work and a lifetime commitment, and I think that’s the inspiration.
需要努力，需要坚持，我认为这就是他们鼓舞人心的地方。
-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.
让我们开始为大家介绍。首先看一下来自佛吉尼亚的25岁的Brandy Blackburn的照片。她以前340磅，成功减肥177磅。这是他以前的照片，Brandy，她等不及了，已经出来了。
-She looks, you look fantastic.
你看上去非常棒。
-Thank you.
谢谢！
-How do you feel? I know you used to be self-conscious about your body.
你觉得怎么样？我知道，你过去对你的身体感到非常自卑。
-Oh, it’s amazing now. I am totally a different person since I’ve got the weight off.
现在我觉得非常好。自从减肥之后，我觉得我获得了新生。
-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，五年级的时候，你的体重已经达到200磅了。高中毕业的时候，你的体重最高值达到340磅。现在回顾起来，你觉得以前为何你的体重会失去控制？
-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.
我的饮食习惯非常糟糕。我从来不知道营养和饮食价值等概念，我也从来没有锻炼过。我来自南方，所以吃是一种生活方式，我们都喜欢。
-We all like it fried down there too.
我们都喜欢吃炸的东西。
-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.
当然，我们都喜欢炸的东西。我从来都不知道吃的价值，怎样吃得更好，也不知道要锻炼。
-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...
开始锻炼，运动和节食之后，你花费了两年的时间来达到目标体重。在这个过程中，你有没有想过：“你知道吗？我可能做不到这一点。因为每个人都会经历停滞期……”
-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，但是我在网站上找到了一个非常好的支持系统。他们帮助我度过那些艰难的时期，让我坚持下来。
