We all deal with them in different ways. Mike’s podcast helps us to deal with issues other than obesity. Obesity can be a symptom of something deeper and staying focused to get to the end goal can be difficult. Mike motivates this group and I believe we motivate him through his challenges as well. The podcast helps me stay focused and is full o good tips. Thanks Mike. I keep listening even though I made Lifetime is August. ### 5/5 — Whatever weight watchers is paying him - it’s not enough *2017-12-29, version 2.4.16* FatDag is no longer fat but he has kept this name when he joined weight watchers. His story is as compelling as his podcasts. They help with negative thoughts and to motivate you to become a hottie again. The app makes listening easy. If you are losing weight - on weight watchers - or not - listen to him. Thanks for all of your work FatDag! ### 5/5 — Complacency Cure! *2017-11-17, version 2.4.16* This podcast is well done! Mike has a great speaking voice, up to the minute content and a true heart for all of us on our weight loss journey! This daily podcast and the support that accompanies it have been the only way I have been able to finally push past the complacency trap I let myself fall into. He is the only WW leader that I have ever heard address it. I knew it was happening but I didn't understand what it was or how to fight it. Can't wait to tune in everyday! ### 5/5 — Awesomeness *2017-10-20, version 2.4.15* I listen and re-listen to thebpodcasts! The inspiration is contagious! Each podcast will leave you feeling a better person!

This app has changed my mindset on weight loss. For the first time in over 10 years, I finally feel like my goal weight is achievable and not impossible! Thanks, fatdag! You rock!!! ### 5/5 — Love this ap *2017-10-07, version 2.3.4* This ap is a game changer for me. I’m doing WW online and needed that extra motivation. I listen while I exercise and also as I’m falling asleep... not ap induced, I promise 😀. You will love this ap. Big thanks to fatdag... not thrilled with the nickname you gave yourself once upon a time, but truly appreciate the inspiration. ### 5/5 — Helps keep you focused *2017-10-02, version 2.3.4* Fatdag is quite simply awesome.

You clearly keep your listeners motivated and focused. I can't believe how many people in weight watchers are not aware of this valuable app. I've downloaded it on fellow weight watchers phones many a times I look forward to my time with you every day on my walk. Good focus my friend. ### 5/5 — Love the app and the show!! *2017-09-14, version 2.3.4* I try my best to listen live to each show but, sometimes I need to get to bed earlier and miss the live version. I love that I am able to log into the app and listen the following day! Thank you Mike for your service to our country and as well as to your fellow WW community! You're the best! (Going to buy my magnet now!). :) ### 5/5 — Thanks for your podcast *2017-09-06, version 2.3.4* I love listening to your show. I am online only and halfway to goal. I get discouraged at times as I am in the turtle club. Sometimes I lose and gain the same pounds for a whole month. I find your show very motivating and encouraging. Thank you for doing it to help so many people. ### 5/5 — A life changer!!! *2017-09-02, version 2.3.4* Why's advice is a game changer for me. The daily inspiration and reinforcements are so valuable and have been pivotal in my success. The Why's advice app just makes it that much easier to listen to the message and organize my favorites. Love it!! Thanks for all you do, Fatdag. 😍 ### 5/5 — That extra nudge... *2017-08-29, version 2.3.4* This is my go to place when I need that extra nudge to keep me on track and mindful of my "why" and my goals. I try to listen every day. Thank you for your inspiration, insight, and effort. ### 5/5 — Motivation on a daily (hourly) basis *2017-08-24, version 2.3.4* When I started WW (online only) I needed something more! Meetings were a goal, but weren't possible at the time! A connect friend told me to listen to Whys Advice. I immediately got the app and was hooked! This is what I needed! I listen in my car on the way to work... and will listen at my desk..... I have friends who are not on WW listening and they love the daily motivation as well! Fatdag is awesome and hearing the letters and stories of others is so helpful and inspirational! I find a little bit of myself in nearly every story and I realize that I am not alone in my struggle! Thanks Fatdag and everyone who writes in making this show possible! I am doing soooo much better now that I have found you! **Developer response:** Thank you for the kind note - its exactly what I hoped for when I started, I'm so glad you're plugged in and one your way to goal!! ### 5/5 — Life Changing *2017-08-22, version 2.3.4* I am a podcast snob . I am picky about what I listen to , and I delete a lot of podcasts when they go off course or the quality goes down over time . This one just keeps getting better and better and better . ### 5/5 — Thank You Whys Advice *2017-08-21, version 2.3.4* This is a wonderful adjunct and support for the Weight Watcher Program. I am a lifetime member and listen to Mike's Podcasts on a regular basis. The best part is that he wants people to write in with their celebrations as well as their questions and he is excellent at answering and providing support. There is always more to learn about this lifelong journey! ### 5/5 — The Meeting You Need and Can't Always Find... *2017-08-21, version 2.3.4* After several failed attempts at returning to WW, mainly for the inability to connect with a meeting, I found this podcast. It is the answer to my prayers. It is inspiring, informative, and I can listen to the same podcast- over-and-over again, if needed. I was worried about going solo online. I am not worried anymore. ### 5/5 — Awesome encouragement! *2017-08-19, version 2.3.4* This App itself is very easy to use and I have not had any issues with it. The content is incredible! Mike is very real and knows from experience the weight loss struggle. He gives great common sense advice and really cares. There is nothing else like this out there! Thank you, Mike for all of the time and effort you put into this podcast, it has been a big boost to my weight loss journey!! ### 5/5 — Love this app!! *2017-08-19, version 2.3.4* If your practicing the WW eating program this is a must have app! Fat Dag just has an amazing ability to motivate that is a true gift! He has a way of giving advice that comes from the heart! If your waning or about to give up all together give this a listen, you will not be sorry!! My focus and program are back in 'Why' mode, not 'How' mode!! God bless you always!! Thank you FatDag ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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! Roxanne in Los Angeles ### 5/5 — Great support and motivational *2020-04-27, version 2.5.7* Great support and motivational for anyone but especially for the WW community! Real life experiences not fake BS !! If you feel like giving up , Stop download this app and be rejuvenated and discover your “Why “ and know your not alone ! ### 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. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
