I get an abundance of e-mail every day, some say 'dear Richard, can you call my husband, he weighs 400 pounds...' or 'my 14-year-old is 200 pounds...' or 'I just got divorced, no one wants me, I am 500 pounds.' So I pick up the phone and I call people.

From Richard Simmons

Well mine is not gimmicky - it is the 6 food groups that God made, and exercising every day. Trying to think positively.

From Richard Simmons

When you're feeling down, sad, lonely, negative, you don't want to take care of yourself - and the weight problem and the diabetic problem and the heart attack and stroke problems and high cholesterol set in.

From Richard Simmons

When you gather up all the balls of life that you try to juggle, it is a very difficult thing to try to focus in on taking good care of yourself. But that's why God invented me - so I can come and teach and preach and make people laugh and give them some education so they can start liking themselves better.

From Richard Simmons

When I lost my weight, I went and bought about 15 different types of underwear to see what would look good on my new body. It's exciting!

From Richard Simmons

Even though my work is whimsical. I have a very serious job. I cry more than I laugh.

From Richard Simmons

Work hard, take care of yourself, and you'll be just fine.

From Richard Simmons

I'm not into any show that makes people compete when they lose weight.

From Richard Simmons

My father offered me a dollar for every pound I would lose as a kid. It didn't work. And it doesn't really work in the long run. Who are you competing against? It's you. You need to be doing this for you and only you.

From Richard Simmons

The real pride, the real present, is your health and your longevity. My whole career, I have never done anything where competition was involved with weight loss.
