Editorial Reviews:

Amazon.com
For all of us who get discouraged from time to time (and who hasn't?)--especially feeling out of control and frustrated with yo-yo dieting--America's No. 1 inspirational speaker, Oprah Winfrey, provides real hope. Winfrey, so adept at making emotional connections with others on her talk show, turns that spotlight squarely on herself in an emotional and revealing hour. Despite her incredible success, she says, for years she was deeply unhappy. But in May of 1992 she finally reached the decision that helped her move forward in clarity. As she says, "I've learned that time is the one thing you cannot waste.... I hope that somebody will see this and connect in a way that will save them time." Oprah's Connection is one not to miss. --Anne Hurley

I just watched this last night. I was a little worried about it for some reason but now I'm so glad I bought this. I'm sure I'll watch it many times and lend it to friends. You thought you knew Oprah? She really bares her heart and soul here in the name of helping others come to the realizations she's come to. Very inspiring. Beautifully shot and produced. Solid information on exercise, but unfortunately touts a very low fat diet, which latest research and many people's experience have proven is not healthy over the long term. But if you get sound nutrition information from Beyond Pritikin or The Diet Cure, you can follow the other recommendations in this video and find inspiration in Oprah's struggles and triumph. It inspired me to get up before 5 this morning to exercise! (Only because I have to be to work by 8.) Do it!

Oprah changed my life with this video!!! May 2, 1999

This is not a work-out video. Buy this video if you are looking for practical tips on how to like yourself, get physically active and control your weight. Oprah shares personal lessons about her weight and offers ideas on how to come to terms with how we look. So inspirational, it will help change your life, I watch it over and over again.

Truly inpirational! December 4, 1998
4 out of 4 found this review helpful

If you have ever battled with being overweight, this video will truly inpsire you. I'm not typically interested in the "self-help" genre of books and videos, but this was a gift from a friend.

I listened to this globally admired woman who has fame and fortune, express the same profound pain and sadness I felt as I battled with my weight problem. I really did "make the connection."

This video will inspire those who think they are hopeless to stop their self loathing and do what is right for their health, bodies, and mind.

I highly recommend it.

1 out of 5 stars WHY SET YOURSELF UP! December 18, 1999

I HAVE TO POSE THE OBVIOUS QUESTION, WHY SET YOURSELF UP LIKE THIS OPRAH! YOU LOOK SO DESPERATE IN THIS VIDEO TO APPEAR LIKE YOU'VE WORKED ALL OF YOUR PROBLEMS OUT, AND THAT YOU ALONE HAVE FOUND THE ANSWER, YOU ONLY END UP SOUNDING SO DESPERATE , IT'S QUITE SAD. I'M NOT WRITING THIS TO DEFLATE YOU OR IN ANY WAY DISCOURAGE YOU, BUT, IN ALL TRUTH, I FEEL LIKE YOU NEED TO SPEAK TO DR. PHIL, MR. TELL IT LIKE IT IS, TO FINALLY NAIL YOUR WEIGHT ISSUE. I SPEAK AS SOMEONE WHO STRUGGLED FOR YEARS, THEN FINALLY FOUND MY TRUTH. GOOD LUCK ELIZABETH P.S. I SINCERELY HOPE YOUR "YES" PEOPLE DON'T FILTER THIS EMAIL OUT. YOU DESPERATELY NEED SOME "NO" PEOPLE AROUND YOU TO RETAIN SOME SEMBLANCE OF BALANCE. GOOD LUCK AND GOD BLESS

Oprah's videos proceeds go to children! Her video is inspiring because SHE is a woman who understands yo yo dieting!

Several women also share in this video..which ends with a detailed 10 point guide to weightloss!
Someone said Oprah should listen to Dr. Phil. .It is refreshing to see WOMEN being the experts...we do have different metabolisms!
Let Dr. Phil counsel the men...I want to hear from someone who understands what it means to be a woman!!!
And besides HER profits go to children!!
