### 5/5 — You are a “God-Send”

*2020-07-07, version 2.5.7*

I was lucky to have a friend be relentless to find more support than we were getting in our local WW area. Some leaders just don’t have what it takes to help transform lives with TRUTH! You, however “get it” that the inner working is what will make permanent, positive changes so that’s why I have become one of your biggest fans!

### 5/5 — My lifeline to stay focused

*2020-01-05, version 2.5.7*

Mike does a great job responding to those who write into his show  with understanding, support and advice about their weight loss journeys that can be difficult to discuss honestly with our friends and family without criticism.  My mindset and determination to keep going is strong because of his encouragement.  Don’t just be a listener to the show.  Email him your story!  No judgement.  Just support, encouragement and feedback that will help you and many others understand what steps you need to take to achieve your goals.  Looking forward to hearing your story!

**Developer response:** Awe thank you.

### 5/5 — A Key Component in My Weigh Loss Journey

*2019-10-19, version 2.5.7*

Fat Dag is an honest, down to earth guy who has walked the walk in weight loss. Hanging in there through ups and downs (figuratively and literally) he has helped me with the reason why people overeat. It’s not just calories in, calories out. It’s about what’s happening in your head.

### 5/5 — Life changing. Really!

*2019-10-02, version 2.5.7*

Always inspiring, this podcast has literally changed my life. Each letter reminds me that I'm not alone. Each response from FatDag gives me hope. 

Over time, my entire mindset has shifted from a "diet" mentality to a "lifestyle" mentality, not in the dreaded slog-your-way-through-because-you-think-you-should lifestyle change, but in a joyful, exciting, having fun and loving my new life kind of lifestyle change. 

FatDag's positive outlook is contagious and I've caught it!

### 5/5 — Focus

*2018-08-20, version 2.5.7*

Love listening and taking in all the success, struggles and strategies of real WW members, but on top of it all is, Fatdag!! Telling like it is, and believing in us when we need it most! Now question a much needed tool in the box of hard work, focus and discipline!!

### 5/5 — Great Podcast

*2018-06-14, version 2.5.7*

Weight lose support! Mike is a weight watchers lifetimer, a leader, and active duty military. His listener centered advice is so supportive! Not just for Weight Watchers! Anyone trying to lose weight will benefit from listening. I’ve flagged many episodes as favorites and listen to them at random in between broadcasts. Give it a listen, what have you got to lose (pun intended!)

### 5/5 — Fatdag pays it forward!

*2018-02-14, version 2.5.7*

Fatdag is the best cheerleader one could wish for during the journey of losing weight! He recently started encouraging those at goal to reach back and help pull others to goal. He gets it that helping others takes this journey to the next level. Bravo Fatdag! Bravo.

### 5/5 — Daily Dose of Motivation and more

*2018-02-04, version 2.5.7*

Fatdag is a champion motivator. He is so down to earth, very relatable, open and honest. He’s doing this podcast to help us survive the week between weigh ins. Every episode I hear something new I can apply in my life, a new piece of wisdom to change my thinking. He’s completely selfless and inspiring.

### 5/5 — Excellent and I listen to each multiple times!

*2018-01-24, version 2.5.7*

This podcast has been so helpful to me. I cannot put into words exactly why except I always know it’s there to motivate me with stories and inspire me with clear advice.
