WOW!

Dad did not want mom to keep any of his old clothes. He thought it would be bad luck. Against his will she kept a pair of shorts. Now he is pretty pleased that she did. Also, Dad is the number 2 biggest loser at his doctor's office. They want him to write a testimonial. He doesn't get anything for it, but I think he will do it. I'll post a copy when he gets around to writing it.

The Life

WEEK 34

I am happy to report that I lost 4.8 lbs this week! I'm down to 183 lbs! My original goal was 180 but I decided to keep going and hopefully get down to around 165.

WEEK 33

I made a trip to Connecticut this past week. We went up there for my nephew's wedding. We didn't tell any family up there about my weight loss. Needless to say, everyone was surprised and very happy for me. I did splurge more than ever and gained a pound. I'm going to have to get motivated again so I can lose more weight and reach my goal. On the up side, I did fit into my navy uniform for the first time since the early seventies. Everyone in my family has been able to wear that uniform for Halloween over the years. Maybe I'll wear it next year! Here are pictures!

WEEK 31

It's been a while since I lasted posted. I'm down to 186 lbs and feeling great. I have loosened up a little bit with my diet. I stick to it most of the time, but once in a while I have a little extra protein or eat a biscuit from Red Lobster. I don't over indulge. I want to train myself so when I get down to my goal weight, I can control what I eat and sustain my weight loss. I don't ever want to gain the weight back or be that size again.

WEEK 15

WEEK 13

Down another 5 lbs!

WEEK 12

Last week was truly monumental for me. When we moved to Florida twenty years ago, I weighed around 240 lbs. Last week, I weighed in at 238! It felt very rewarding and more and more people are noticing all the weight I've lost. I would really like to get down to 170ish. This afternoon I went to my weekly check up and lost another 3 lbs. I am very happy with the success of this program! Melissa will get more pictures of me this next week to post up here.

Another Day in Paradise

We spent another nice evening at the beach. Life is good! Here are pictures that were taken today.

WEEK 8

I am excited to report that I lost another 4 lbs this past week. Since working in the warehouse washing filters, in addition to working at the insurance office, I have been getting hungrier. The doctor decided to up my dosage of appetite suppressants and vitamins.

Fast Forward to May 6, 2008

Week 7 and I'm down 34.9 lbs! My blood pressure has lowered to normal now. My total body fat percent is down to 37.1 from 44 when I started. I am very happy with my results so far and hope to get down to 180 lbs. I can't wait to weigh less than my son-in-law Josh! This picture was taken on April 24, 2008.

Medizone Weightloss Program Update

With years of yo-yo dieting, I decided to lose the weight once and for all. I knew that dieting without being under a doctor's care would lead me to failure...once again. I looked into gastric bypass, the lap band and even liposuction. I wasn't sure if surgery was the right answer. When hearing about the medizone weightloss program, I knew that it would be a better option for me. To be successful with this program, you have to be very committed. I set up an appointment with the doctor to get started. I weighed in at 290 lbs. My blood pressure was so high that the doctor didn't give me the full dosage of medicine. Each week I go in to the doctor to get weighed, check my blood pressure, get my vitamins and a shot of B-12. These pictures were taken in February before starting my diet. I started this program on March 18, 2007.
