My Journey on the 17 Day Diet – Week 1 Video

Hey everyone I just finished my Video Blog on my progress for the first week on my journey to 200lbs. Please watch it and let me know what you think.

 

Weight loss challenge Week 1 – 17 Day Diet

OK, as I mentioned earlier this week I have set a goal to lose at least 76lbs. to get me down to 200lbs. Below is a list of everything I am going to do to be successful on this journey.

1. The 17 Day Diet  downloadable PDF
2. Lose It!
3. Exercise with Andrea and Clinton
4. Post results weekly here and on youtube

My buddy Kip, who is a truck driver, introduced me to the17 Day Diet. He has been doing the 17 Day Diet for a while now and has lost over 100lbs. WOW! That is great! Keep up the good work Kip. I know you will reach your goal.

On the 17 Day Diet you can eat as much as you want of certain foods and there are two different cycles that you can be on. The reason it is called the 17 Day Diet is because each cycle lasts 17 Days.

Now I am sure you read that on the 17 Day Diet you can eat all you want of certain foods and that is correct; however, I want to get the best results and to do it as quickly as I can. Therefore, I have incorporated the Lose It! website to help track my progress and limit my calorie intake to keep me on pace to lose two pounds a week without working out. That way when I work out I will hopefully lose more that two pounds a week. We will see what happens!

I am planning on working out with my wife Andrea and my friend Clinton. This week I did not work out at all but I have plans to begin working out on Monday. More than likely we will start out walking and increase from there.

And finally I will post my progress both here, on the blog, and on youtube. I should have my youtube post up either tonight or sometime on Sunday. Once it is posted I will also post the video at the bottom of this blog.

I am also providing a free copy of the 17 Day Diet, here on my blog, for anyone who would like to do it with me and I have also provided links throughout this blog to connect to Lose It! to track your calories.

OK enough about what I am doing to track and hold myself accountable on my weight lose journey.  Let me tell you what happened this week and report my progress.

I weighed in on Tuesday 9/4/12 at 276lbs. I have cut out all fast food and Coke this week. Lose It! said that I should only eat 2182 calorie a day. Let me tell you, when you are eating salads, chicken, turkey, egg whites, Kefir, and a few things that are not on the diet like my peanut butter crackers, it is very hard to reach that 2182 caloric goal. Below is a daily list of the calories I consumed.

• Tuesday       1306
• Wednesday  1525
• Thursday      1006
• Friday           2283

Let me tell you a quick story about Friday-it was the only day I was over my calorie limit for the day. Andrea called me on the way home and asked me to pick up fried chicken for dinner. I reminded her that was not on our diet but since we both had been having an issue getting all of our calories for a day we decided to have the fried chicken.

The fried chicken was very good but when it was time for me to log my chicken on Lose It! I was shocked how many calories I had just consumed. I ate two chicken breasts, skin and all. My total calorie intake for the chicken only was a whopping 1279 calorie. That was more calorie than I had eaten all day!  Just my protein for dinner! Needless to say, I will not be eating any fried chicken any time soon. I would rather spend those calories eating more food that will keep me feeling full rather than to eat the fried chicken.

When I stepped on the scale this morning I was not really sure what it would read, especially after Friday night’s dinner. But I weighed in at 169lbs. WOW!! I could not believe it. I know most of the weight lose is due to not eating fast food or drinking soda but I am heading in the right direction.

I also wanted to mention that I am tracking all of my calories on Lose It! through my smartphone app. I am on the Solavei network. You can get unlimited talk, text and data on a 4G network for only $49 a month or LESS! That is right, I said LESS. Solavei will pay you monthly $20 for every three active members you bring over. So if you get 9 people signed up for cell service through Solavei your phone service will be free! Now that is a great deal!

For more information on Solavei click here and fill out my contact form. I will get in touch with you and help you get started.

Please follow me here and on youtube. Join my weight loss challenge and post your commitment and progress both here and on youtube. Keep an eye out for next weeks post.

I am also thinking about posting some of the meals we are making and the amount of calories each of meals are.

Job numbers and Unemployement Rate Updates for Sept,7 2012

US job numbers were just release this morning. Only 96K jobs were added in for the month of August. The US economy needs to create in the ball park of 250K jobs a month to keep on with population growth. Most media outlets were speculating the report to show job creation right around 200K. This is a serious disappointment.

On the bright side of the story the Unemployment rate dropped to 8.1% I am sure a lot of people will play the spin that the economy is going in the right direction and the decrease in the Unemployment rate as an indicator that things are looking up.

Do not be fooled! The main reason the Unemployment rate dropped was because the labor participation rate had decrease by 386K people. That mean 386K people gave up looking for a job. And if you added back in all of the people that have given up looking for a job over the pass few years our Unemployment rate would be near 11%

This is not good new for our economy. We are seeing a recovery but I would call it a flat line recovery at best if we are not getting ready to go the other direction. I pray that this is not the case. Please reply to my blog and let me know what you think about the state of our economy and the direction you think we are going.
I keep track of all my current event on my smartphone. The service I use is Solavei. No contract and unlimited talk, text, and data on a 4G network for only $49 a month. Best of all if you share with your friends and family you can get the service for FREE.

My weight loss challenge

My wife just introduced me to Lose It! It is a web site that helps you track your weight loss goals through your calorie intake and the amount of exercise you do. I have a goal to lose 70 pounds! That is right I am not a little guy. I never really was. I play offensive and defensive line on my high school football team. Here is a picture of my wife Adrea and I. I try not to get my picture taken so I don’t have evidence of how fat I am.

Anyways back to the program, I am going to update this weekly on my progress. Basically I am going to track my calorie intake each day and keep my calories at my target number each day. I am also going to incorporate some type of exercise as well like walking, running, or one of the many workout videos I have at my house.

What is really cool about Lose It! is that they have an Android Mobile app that I have downloaded on my smartphone. This way it should be a little easier for me to keep track of my activities.

If you don’t have a smartphone are if you are paying to much for your service you should take a look at Solavei. Solavei is a new 4G service provider offering unlimited talk, text and data for $49 a month or LESS! That is right I say or LESS.
