I look forward to your Friday podcasts. Real, honest, and totally what I need for my journey.

If your looking to lose weight and gain so much more in your life add this podcast to your weekly listening!! Implement the core values to your life that Donato explains and lives himself! I listen to the RantingWeightWatcher during my walks as a WW member who has lost 190 lbs and I am still loosing! I look forward to the Friday Podcasts and I hope you will too! Enjoy your weightloss journey to the best version you can be with the help of this podcast! Get excited to be healthy again and stay healthy! 🙏

There are some amazing messages and I will try a few more but carnivore doesn’t fit with the WW message.

This podcast is the real deal. Donato understands the fight for health and wellness. He has been through a lot to get to where he is today and he is an inspiration and wonderful motivator. I wish he would invite others on his show to share their experiences of trying to lose weight and get healthy.

Love Mr Russo and his transparency, we need to hear it, I need to hear it. His facts are truthful, his testimony hits home. He continues to tell the truth, allowing things/habits to be brought to the forefront, which allows us to face our addiction head on and deal with the root of our journey of becoming healthier in our mind and body. Thank you my friend!

When the student is ready … the teacher will appear 🙏🏽 Thank you for sharing your journey and being so H.O.T Humble Open Transparent

Gives information that may be applicable to him but is not universally true. Ranted about fat free foods being full of sugar and his example is cottage cheese 😂 More angry than helpful

I love this podcast and look forward to it every week. I also go back and re-listen to older ones a lot too. It’s a very real, not sugar coated, butt-kicking yet also caring message that I NEED to hear every week.

I love this podcast. Donato is a man with passion and fire that will keep you on your toes. Many of the themes and messages that he preaches apply to life beyond Weight Watchers. His voice is a beast and he has a talent for wielding it in a way to make you feel what ever emotion is necessary to make his point. Above all else he desperately wants success for others on the weight loss journey just as much as he does for himself.

Getting motivated to change my mind set. Joined weight watchers over a month ago and haven’t started yet. I am ready and came across this pod cast. Starting with Episode 1 after listening to the most recent. 🙏

Donato is a master motivator. The specific, transparent journey he invites us to is a great way to learn, apply his teachings and become better human beings. His clear cut comments on current weight loss trends causes you to think and make wiser choices. I highly recommend this podcast if you are ready to get results.

If you are on WW or not this podcast is a must listen. Down to earth, honest, straightforward, encouraging.

I just saw you pop up on the Saturday 9:00 WW meeting. Can wait to listen to your podcast. Starting at #1.

I started listening to this podcast at episode 100, well into Donato’s journey. At some point I decided I wanted to hear the story from the beginning so listened to all initial 99 episodes as well. It was 100% worth my time. Donato has been not only on a weight loss journey but on a personal growth journey as well. It’s a success, motivation, inspiration, goal setting, truth telling, growth based podcast as much as a weight loss one. In the process he puts his heart out there in his own quest, but you discover along the way, he really cares about YOU as well. If you want any of these things in your life I would say you owe it to yourself to jump in and start listening.

Donato is real. His struggles, his challenges, and his consistency are all relatable for me. Give his podcast a listen if you are needing inspiration for consistency in your weight loss journey. He’s the real deal, and I’m grateful that he decided to share his story with us.

Weight control is tough for me. I enjoy this. Podcast it helps me stay focused on healthy eating habits.

I’m assuming at one point this podcaster was on WW but changed. I was expecting to hear about the program but 6 minutes in I heard more about calories and macros than WWs plan. I guess the podcaster is watching their weight rather filling WW. Good luck on your continued journey.

This is the Best podcast out there. The hard truth has never been put out there quite like Donato does it!

This was such a great podcast! And it was right on Thanksgiving. I listen every week. It really helps me stay on track and keep losing on my Weight Watchers journey.

This is much needed. A podcast about weight loss by a man actually on his journey who doesn’t sugarcoat truth. It is encouraging and honest at the same time.

I love this podcast!!! He gives it to you straight up-no chaser! He’s honest and open about his strengths and weaknesses!! This podcast has been a major tool along my fitness journey!

This podcast has been life changing for my weight loss journey. Sharing his journey and wisdom gained is both poignant and encouraging. His motivations skills are extraordinary! I have gone back and listening to the older ones and look forward to each new one! The 100th Episode was a real gem! You won’t regret one moment of your time spent listening!

I’ve been an avid listener for awhile now and have found myself looking forward to each and every episode. For the past month I’ve been depressed and frustrated with my ww journey and right when I think about quitting, a new podcast comes out and Donato, you give me the motivation to continue on my journey. Thank you for being an excellent source of inspiration.

I met Donato at a WW Virtual meeting. I just found his podcast and have been listening. I love the practical advice and encouragement. Thanks!

Donato coaches listeners into asking themselves the hard questions. He encourages them that they are doing better than they think. I have been listening every week and he is great. He’ll make you laugh. He’ll make you feel seen. But best of all, he’ll help you find a way to lose the weight and keep it off. I started with episode 54 and I am going back to listen to all of them.

Great podcast! Thank you for sharing your journey with us and the great tips.

This is just what I needed this Am. I’ve been on this journey for over 40 years. I have not been tracking all summer and have gained. Your truth about work is spot on. And the point on how it applies to everything. Thanks so much!

I can’t love this podcast enough!!! I was seriously hooked after the very first episode I listened to! I have a lot of episodes to catch up on, but look forward to hearing them all. Donato tells me what I need to hear with no sugar coating, very motivating!!

Your podcast is awesome! It is inspiring and informative for any amount of needed weight loss.

I have been a follower of Don for awhile now. I have listened to every podcast episode since it began. Episode #43 is a stellar episode. Every episode gets better and better! I find myself looking forward every Friday morning to listen. I have struggled with my weight all my life. Don’s podcast and what he speaks about makes me feel like I’m not alone on this journey. This podcast has become a “staple” in my life! I take notes each week to remind myself of the talking points Don so eloquently professes in his podcast. These are reminders that I am not alone in my journey. Continued success my friend... YOU are changing lives... you have changed mine. Stephanie

I’ve finally caught up and listened to all the episodes. Donato is a guy sharing his journey, with the hope of helping others. I actually preferred the earlier episodes when he was more genuine. As the episodes progressed, they’re not as enjoyable. The canned background music for emphasis. 🙄 Lately they’re getting more preachy. And like all of us, he doesn’t always follow his own message. For example, a recent preach about educating yourself. Yet in the same episode he rants about how he doesn’t agree sleep is important, but doesn’t educate himself about why it is. He should stick to his journey. We can learn from his journey, which I think was the original purpose of the podcast. If you search, you can find a little gem in most episodes. But sometimes you have to really search!

Donato Russo is real and honest and open about his own weight loss journey. I’ve been doing Weight Watchers for some time now and kept falling off track. His podcasts and his walking videos have been a breath of fresh air for me. I only hope one day I can “pay it forward”. Thank you Ranting Weight Watcher (Donato), for all the work you put into these podcasts and for sharing so openly.

I randomly found this fantastic podcast while at work! I love it! Should be one of the first listens for a new ww person. Donato Russo tells it like it is and explains how little is needed to make it work....annnnd why many intelligent, well meaning people can’t seem to make the program work. Very engaging. Simple and easy to follow podcast while you work or drive. Makes you rethink the next few hours of your day! He lost 125...he must know the tea.

Great job on your accomplishments. You are helping and inspiring people that they to can do it. I wasn’t your high weight but we have so much In common with gastric bypass. It’s a tool but also a curse. I’m listening and will continue to listen. Keep up the good work ✅👍

I started with episode 20 and honestly I’m not sure why I haven’t listened before. I encourage everyone to listen to the honesty and passion behind the “rants” as they are messages of encouragement and love. These are for everyone who struggles. ✌🏻💙🙏🏻 -MNG

He gets it and motivates... and gives me the reflections and kick in the pants I need!!! Thank you!!!

As a personal friend of Donato, I started listening to hear about his weight loss journey.....but as I tuned in each week, I realized not only was I learning about my friend’s journey, I was working on my own! He is so motivating and inspiring! Thank you and keep up the good work!

Great podcast on how to overcome weight loss obstacles that so many people struggle with in their lives.

On point! Great advice from someone who has lived the journey!

Love listening to your podcasts!! Keep Up the great work. Your an inspiration to many!!!

Fantastic first podcast. Inspirational and genuine. What an accomplishment—100 lbs down and still going strong! So excited to come along for the journey.

This was so enjoyable! A great voice that’s smooth and pleasant to listen to. Very motivational. And what an incredible story that brought you to Weight Watchers.

Your struggle is real! And you made me feel exactly what you were going through! Anyone struggling with weight gain needs to listen to Donato Russo!!

I have been following Donato on WW cis his video postings and I’m so happy that he’s finally launched his podcast. I downloaded episode 1 and he hit it out of the ballpark. He doesn’t pull any punches, tells it like it is and encourages and inspires every step of the way. Don’t hesitate - subscribe and tell your friends.
