Here is a brief bio: I am 37 years old and have had a weight issue my entire life. I remember first being conscious of my weight at the age of 7 and I was on my first official diet (Weight Watchers) at 13. Since then, my weight has fluctuated from 168 pounds to 289 [...]
REINTRODUCTION So it’s been what probably seemed to be (or at least seemed to be in the beginning) the longest several weeks of your eating life. You’ve been restricting your diet and following the RepairVite Program as outlined in parts 1 and part 2 of this series and now it’s time to begin reintroducing, or “provocating,” those [...]
REPAIRING LEAKY GUT SYNDROME As I stated in part 1 of this series, the RepairVite Program is not for the faint of heart or weak of willed. It is an “aggressive and complete regimen designed to support intestinal health” and to identify possible food allergies and/or food intolerances/sensitivities. Depending on the severity/chronicity of your condition, your [...]
t was about one year ago when I first walked into the chiropractor’s office searching for a cure for my weight loss stalemate and my stomach woes. At that point I had lost over 100 pounds by sticking to a well-balanced, reduced-calorie diet and a strict exercise regimen, but my body had reached the point where [...]
The title is an omage to my favorite bleach blond, short-haired, overly enthusiastic, 90s workout phenom, Susan Powter. But she had a point really. Dieting, counting calories burned and eaten, counting carbs, fat and protein and making sure that you’ve worked out hard enough to burn off the pizza from the night before will cause anyone to [...]
o much has happened since my last post, I hardly know where to begin. Don’t worry though, I won’t bore everyone with an exceedingly long post. I’ll simply give an update and then move on. First of all, I developed patellar tendonitis in my right knee a couple of months ago. I guess I was [...]
I have officially, and finally, lost 100 pounds and the last three pounds of that was a frustrating and long process. It took me one month to lose 4.25 pounds and, if this last week was any indication, I could have the same type of month ahead of me. Last time I wrote about my [...]
New Year – New Me It is 2012 and the beginning of a new year and the beginning of the last leg of my weight loss journey. To date, I’ve lost 98 pounds through exercise, improved diet and lots of “fuzzy math.” I say that my math has been fuzzy, because, although we’ve been taking [...]
For the past several weeks I’ve officially been over Tony Horton and P90X. I just could not stand to hear him say “Ab … Ripper … X. I hate it, but I love it” one more time, and, if I did, I knew I was going to lose it. Plus, I’d only lost 4 pounds [...]
The Result of Our Five Month Results The latest weight, measurement and photo results have been posted and I must say that I am an emotional wreck over it. I knew that I was going to be disappointed, but I never thought that just the sight of that TERRIBLE picture and the publishing of the numbers [...]
