I do hope many of you saw and enjoyed the story we ran last night on Tricia Cunningham, the beautiful young woman who lost more than 150 pounds in less than a year and a half by totally reversing the way she eats. Can you believe it's been two years since our first meeting with her? Two years since I went to her house and watched her cook a monstrous dinner-time meal for breakfast. (My personal favorite still is how she eats oatmeal and shredded wheat with orange juice for dinner. If you've never tried it, don't scoff until you do.... mmmm...) I wanted to re-introduce you to Tricia because she's come so far since her Channel 4 Action News debut. Her story was picked up by television stations from coast to coast, some even in other countries, and she quickly became a magazine darling... featured in a dozen publications, all sorts of TV shows, and now has her own book, The Reverse Diet. Thanks to YOU... Tricia's story is being told world-wide.

If you missed the segment that ran Thursday night at 5, just click here to watch it. We also have so many of Tricia's delicious recipes to get you started -- and some quick and easy Super Bowl snacks you can make this coming weekend without porking up your guests.

The thing I like most about Tricia is how true she's been to herself. The things she says in her book are the same things she told me in her kitchen back in 2005. Her diet is a total lifestyle change, but don't let that scare you. How many times have you yo-yoed up and down the scale? I can tell you, Tricia may put on 10 or 15 pounds here or there, but her diet gives her the tools to take it off. I think so many of us would feel better about the whole weight situation if we knew we were going to pack it on over the holidays... only to get back on track in January and lose it just as quickly. This diet can help you do that.

I hope you enjoy, and if you'd like to, support Tricia by checking out her book. She is a proud Pittsburgher, proof that if you want to do something, you can!
