Get Motivated

After losing 42 pounds in Weight Watchers, Ms. Contorno started lecturing to motivate other Weight Watchers in 1971. Through Weight Watchers, she found a different kind of support and discovered her gift for humor.

Around 1984, Ms. Contorno began speaking to other kinds of groups. "I realized that I could take out the word fat and throw in anything; the same ingredients it takes to get weight off, it takes to get normality in your life." Balance is one of her messages.

"Whatever your problem is - and there is something - realize that it might be who you become in life. Don't let it ruin your life. In spite of it, succeed."

Can a middle - aged woman in a cheerleading outfit really motivate people to take that kind of responsibility? She tells her audience, "If a 51-year-old woman has the courage to do this, you darn well better listen to the message."
