Serving as a catalyst to help others get fit and lose weight is Carole’s specialty. Having transformed her own life, Carole has a personal connection to this topic. After chronicling her 62-pound weight loss in a weekly newspaper column, she invited others in her small Northern California community to join her in getting fit. Over 1,000 people teamed together to lose nearly 8,000 pounds of fat in two months.

Dubbed “An Apostle for Fitness” in her profile in the Wall Street Journal, Carole Carson has been a featured guest on more than a hundred radio and television shows, including NBC’s Today show, CBS’s The Early Show, MSNBC’s Countdown with Keith Olbermann, and CNN Newsroom.

Carole was featured on the January 2011 cover of American Profile, a four-color magazine with an estimated readership of 18-22 million. She has also been featured in magazines such as American Fitness, Diet & Exercise Magazine and Today’s Health & Wellness as well as in newspapers such as the Honolulu Star-Bulletin, the Tampa Tribune, the Sacramento Bee, the Baltimore Sun and the Los Angeles Times.

Carole’s book, From Fat to Fit: Turn Yourself into a Weapon of Mass Reduction was named a finalist in the Health: Exercise and Fitness category of the Best Books 2007 Awards, sponsored by USA Book News. Carole is also the author of The Fat to Fit Meltdown Manual: Create Weapons of Mass Reduction in Your Community and a children’s book, Remembering When I Was Young.

Besides teaching and consulting, Carole has produced a weekly community television show, The Tipping Point, and a reality show, Go Fat to Fit, and four video documentaries on the topic of Community Meltdowns.
