In my last blog post two weeks ago, I wrote about reaching my goal weight of 142 pounds. As of this morning, I'm at 138—88 pounds lighter than when I started!
To put that in perspective: see this woman's big jugs? Full of water, they would weigh about 40 pounds. Each. Think she could stand there holding them like that if they were full? Imagine anyone (even a body builder) trying to carry them both around, all day, every day. For years.
If full, those two jugs—all 80+ pounds—represent slightly less than the weight I no longer carry around all day.
Is it any wonder that being over weight can lead to health problems like swollen feet and ankles? Back aches? Fatigue? Shortness of breath? Inability to climb stairs? A general condition of only feeling so-so (and not great) a lot of the time? Some obese people even have problems getting out of a chair. Remember watching—or being—a woman about eight months pregnant? And most woman don't gain 80-90 pounds during their pregnancy...
Is it any wonder that once they've lost some weight, most people report having much more energy and generally feeling much better? We're not expending all that energy lugging around all that extra weight.
I'm a bit awestruck here....and quite hopeful. I think I'm where you were at the beginning of your journey. Is there a web link or any more info on how you specifically met your goals? Thank you in advance for any help you can offer. Your personal story is very encouraging.
ReplyDeleteHi Jack,
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you found that encouraging! If you have roughly 90 pounds to lose -- oh man, do it now. You will feel so much better not lugging around those two full water jugs every day!
If you can eat every 2-3 hours, you can do what I did, and safely lose 2-5 pounds per week. I followed a clinically proven, healthy, balanced nutritional program. i.e.: no drugs or surgery involved.
Please watch the short "Achieving Optimal Health" video. It explains the program: http://baltimorejohn.tsfl.com/
My contact information is also on that page. After you watch the video, give me a call or shoot me an email. We can discuss your specific situation. If you're interested, we can then get you started on YOUR journey to optimal health!
Thanks,
John Collins
