    @momsinneedofmercy I think what she means when she says “without surgery” is surgery that would help lose weight quicker, like a bypass, or a liposuction. A breast lift, augmentation or reduction won’t make you lose weight. I know many people who after having lost a lot of weight complain they’ve lost their breasts too and have surgery. Besides, everyone’s body is different and we all put on weight or lose it differently so end up with different shapes. We can never aspire to have the same body.

    Interesting how the camera focused on the male interviewer looking bored as hell.

    Everyone is touting that she has not had any surgery, and in her book, she herself admits to having a “breast lift and augmentation.” No one is talking about this. So when people think they can look like her just by dieting and exercising, that’s not really true.

    It’s on p. 204 of Never Say Diet.

    This is what she herself writes on p. 204 of Never Say Diet:
    “I fixed everything I could through clean eating and exercise, then got help from experts for what I couldn’t do on my own…”

    Does this woman have any education at all other than…former fat person turned ‘certified trainer” claim…seriously does she bring anything NEW to the table? The answer is clearly NO there are thousands with the same story. I think your 15 minutes are UP! Don’t waste your time on her bogus books to see her in person it is clearshe does not practice what she preaches. Maybe she should pray about that. Being humble and having class go a long way in this world……you have neither.

    I’m shocked they had her on Fox. And did you notice they were like totally not wanting to hear about her praying.

    They slip up and have real people on there sometimes. But the praying and story are her whole… selling point.

    Uh… oftentimes interviewers are so annoying because they are so pushy and time driven. I know it is the nature of their occupation, but it is frustrating listening to a story knowing that those interviewing are sitting on edge, anxiously looking around for the chance to pounce the next question, without really listening. Chantel did a great job in this interview and is very well spoken. Now, where is the interview with her and a close friend where the atmosphere is more relaxing? :-)

    good for her, I hope she continues to be successful .The fact that she did this without surgery speaks volumes about her commitment to the weight loss.

    I agree with everything she said.

    Don`t know about the book, but what she said was very consistent to me. I totally agree with her!
