The First 40 lbs Came Off in 3 Months---Now I am at 50 lbs Lighter

http://weightlosspowerusers.com/content/video-testimonials
The first 40 lbs came off in 3 months but the next 10 lbs took 3 more months.  Of course 2 of those months were holiday months in November and December and the darkest part of the winter, so I tended to cheat on my food and on my exercise plan. 

Then in January I took winter-break vacation with my sweetheart Jeannie to Las Vegas, buffet capitol of the world.  But in February I got back on my food and walking program.  The weight started to drop off again but at a less intense pace, at 3 lbs per week. 

Once the sun started to come back my body was prone to stay the course and I once again felt empowered to continue my quest to lose 81 total pounds and get to 199.  I spend about 7 hours per week at the gym or outside walking. I try to take 10,000 steps per day. I get out of my desk chair and walk around when I am on my cell phone. 

I had several funny pockets of fat that needed to be firmed up.  I can’t believe how far out of shape I allowed myself to get. But my body is changing and I feel better than I have for years.  My daily productivity has gone up and I enjoy life much more. 

My challenge is that I am a “projects” kind of guy.  Once I have a project I throw myself fully into the process and get so focused I allow other things to fall by the wayside.  I had a ten year project creating and building a new LDS Stake congregation that started at 2400 and grew to over 3000 with two chapels built during my tenure.  That took up almost all of my extra time outside of my profession as an educator. 

I tend to stress eat which was a daily routine during those ten years.  I gained mucho weight and my body suffered.  But once released I took on a personal project of getting back into shape.  It feels a bit self serving but is essential as I retire and move to the next phase of my life. 

Recently I realized it is not self serving but necessary in order to be more useful to my family, profession, and community.  My doctors have helped in various ways with encouragement and expertise. 

My Chiropractor/health-coach has been superb in keeping me motivated.  This is one of the most satisfying things I have ever done. 

I love my food program because of its glycemic balance and it works just like they said it would.  I have tried the others and never been able to push past 25 pounds off before yo-yoing.  The main difference this time is the ease of the food program and the coaching I have received.  Can you tell I love what this program has done for me? 

I have many friends who have accomplished similar goals so it is not just uniquely suited to my circumstances.  It also helps older people, diabetics, and others with special situations.  The program has been recommended by over 20,000 doctors.  If you need to lose 20 lbs or more it is worth looking at. 

Let me know if you have questions.  Here is a link to my website with photos as well as testimonials about the program:

  1. I was doing so well until I started caretaking my father-in-law, who passed away in February. I had lost 31 lbs, and then gained 10 lbs while running back and forth 110 miles each way each week, between the in-laws home and ours. I wasn't getting good sleep and my exercise routine was somewhat spotty due to lack of sleep and time. My stress level is ramping up with Dad gone as we are moving in to town due a transfer and will be living with my mother-in-law in a tiny home with little to no chance for privacy. I know that this will have an impact on my weight unless I get things sorted out and under control now. Help?
