Weight Loss Journey Documented Part 2 of a 90 Day Journey

If this is your 1^st time reading about my Weight Release Journey please read http://weightreleaseclub.blogspot.com/2012/02/losing-last-25-pounds.html  to get a better understanding of what and why I am doing this.

Introduction:

This is the 1^st time I am sharing my personal data with anyone. Most diet programs out there just give you testimonies of the total weight lost but do not show you the daily data on how they got there. Weight loss numbers can be manipulated by filling up on food and water for a couple days before the weigh-in and be starving and dehydrated on the final weigh in ex: lost 30 lbs in 30 days. Technically might be true but BS. Or sometimes what people do is they get one final big meal or two before their diet. They get really good results for a week or two than they plateau, get discouraged and go back to their normal way of eating and right back to their original weight or heavier. That’s why I am including my data 10 days prior to the start of my diet. I am also including my waist and hips size at the start because if you do not see a reduction in the areas where you want to see it, you are most likely just losing water weight. (I don’t actually need or want to lose weight around my waist but might lose 1 inch because you have no control on where your weight comes off. I mostly want to lose the weight around my hips/love handles). My weigh-in is 1^st thing every morning on an empty stomach & bladder between 7am & 9am whenever I get out of bed. I use a 10 day cycle because 7 days is too short and 15 days is too long. I focus on the current 10 day cycle and do not dwell on the past 10 day cycles. When you dwell on how long you have been on a diet you might start feeling sorry for yourself on how long you have not had your favorite foods and give you an excuse to cheat. My goal every day is to stick to my eating routine as far as what, when and how much to eat. The current cycle that I am on I will bold the label information and each day I will bold only when I was 100% successful (which should be every day).  I will give my opinion on what I think is happening during each cycle. It should take me less than 90 days to get to 160 lbs so there will be about 9 separate observations and one more to sum everything up. I am doing this to show frustrated dieters that you can get to your ideal weight and it can be made easier with the 21^st Century Weight Release System. This is the real deal.

Cycle 2 Observations 2-21-2012

Cycle 2 was another 10 days of following my program exactly and predictably got great results. Most days I ate close to the 1,500 calorie amount never going below 1,200 calories. During this time I never felt hungry or tired and managed to get in about 5 days of moderate exercise. Total weight loss was - 1.8 lbs (a little less than I predicted). This was because I lost all of the extra water weight in the 1^st 10 days and in the past it took as long as 60 days. The data for this cycle is very interesting. Look at days 2 and 3. There is a total weight loss of – 2.8 lbs. The rest of the week my weight changed every day. Going up a little one day and going down a little the next day. Even though I consumed about the same amount of food and liquids every day the weight fluctuated like it did. If I went 1 more day on the program I am sure I would have dropped 1 lb. That would have made the numbers look a little better but that’s not important. What is important are the measurements and the new pictures. The waist size stayed the same but the hip size went from 37.5 inches to 35.75 inches. When you look at the before and after pictures https://picasaweb.google.com/105002837998216404899/SharedWeightRelease2012

 (especially #3 and #4) that’s where you can really see a big difference. They even surprised me. The original pictures I look a little over weight but 20 days later it is all gone. There is still a little bit of fat to lose but I am going to change my strategy of how to do it. I am ending the Release part of my program and going back to maintenance. The remaining 2 – 4 lbs of fat that I still want to lose will be done at a later time. After 20 days or so of maintenance I will do a 10 day Weight Release Program. I feel I no longer need to get to 160 lbs anymore to maintain a weight under 180 lbs and have the freedom to eat how I want (with in reason) keeping my ideal weight for the rest of my life.

Cycle 1 Observations 2-11-2012

Ten days previous of the diet my average weight was about 185.6. The low was 183 lbs on day 3 and the high was 188.2 on day 5. The reason my weight was up is because I was on semi maintenance & I did late night eating of chips and popcorn some of my favorite snack foods and also had a lot of chocolate covered macadamian  nuts and cookies and other chocolates (Just finishing up a lot of my holiday foods). As you can see that 5 pound gain was gone by day 2 of the diet. Those 5 pounds was mostly all water weight and none of it accumulated to fat. Notice how much weight I lost the 1^st 6 days of the diet (6.4 lbs). Most of it is water weight but it still makes me feel good because I am getting closer to my goal and losing the mostly water weight is the 1^st process you have to go through. On days 7 – 10 my weight actually went up a little bit day 7 and day 9. Even though I ate the same amount of food (less than 1,500 calories) on those days. The body can retain extra water for what ever the reason. This is part of the process and something you have to get use too. Of the 8.6 lbs I lost in 10 days I think 1 pound of that was fat and most of it was lost between days 7 – 10.  For the next 10 day cycle I expect to lose between 3 and 5 pounds. Most of the extra water weight is gone so things start to slow down and days like the last part of the week will be the norm with an occasional 1 pound loss day. Valentines Day (one of my favorite days) is happening during Cycle 2 and I usually eat a big meal with a couple of adult beverages. This year no special day is more important than achieving my weight goal so I will stick to my program and postpone the big meal for 3 months. I am not planning on making any adjustments for Cycle 2.

Losing The Last 25 Pounds

Today is February 1, 2012 and is the 1^st day of the start of my last diet ever. I weighed in at 185.4 lbs waist size 36 inches and hips size is 37.5. In 2011 my goal was to get to 165 lbs and maintain a weight between 170 lbs and 185 lbs which I did. From 2006 through 2010 my weight would fluctuate between 195lbs and 220 lbs. Prior to 2006 my weight fluctuated between 205 and 240 lbs. I am considered medically overweight for my height at 185 lbs and the last 2 months of 2011 (during the holidays till now) I was closer to my higher range of my ideal weight (going over by 1 or 2 lbs for no more than 5 days). I knew back in 2011 that I would adjust my weight range between 160 lbs and 177 lbs sometime at the beginning of 2012 when I was ready and that day is today. Most people who start a diet are medically overweight from the beginning and have to lose over 10% of their body weight just to get in the high range of a normal weight. Most of these people will fail due to an insufficient weight loss program. I am starting my diet at a normal weight and going to a better normal weight losing about 13% of my current weight. The program that I am using to accomplish this is 21^st Century Weight Release Program 21cwrc.com which I am the founder of. Losing weight and keeping it off is hard but it is easier if you learn how to release it. Eventually it becomes easy. After 5 years it has finally become easy for me. I want to document my weight release journey with periodic updates of where I am and pictures to show my progress. My prediction is I will be at 160 lbs before 90 days just in time for summer. The 1^st 30 days I will lose between 10 and 14 lbs. The 2^nd 30 days I will lose between 6 and 10 lbs and will lose the last lbs between days 70 and 90. During this time I will never be physically or mentally hungry and only occasionally will I feel emotionally hungry. When that happens it’s only for a few seconds and I can easily deal with it.

The Program is 20% physical and 80% mental. Most programs only focus on the physical part which is the food. The mental part is the most important part but it is impossible to write about and can only be effectively learned and experienced day to day. Since the program is a little different for everyone based on what works and what will work for each person I am not going to share what I eat but give you a basic idea. It’s a good balance of protein, carbohydrates and fat, between 1,000 and 1,500 calories. When you eat is also very important but again this can vary with each person depending on their schedule. Staying hydrated is also very important. Exercise is not necessary but I am going to continue my basic exercise routine about 25 - 45 minutes of moderate exercise 4 -5 days a week to maintain and increase flexibility and strength. (Even though I am burning more calories I believe this will contribute an insignificant amount of weight loss and might even slow it down a little. I also believe the right type of exercise is good to promote basic health but not needed for weight loss.) And full disclosure I ballroom dance about 6 hours a week and I consider this light exercise and do it because I really enjoy it and not for weight loss. I also make sure I get at least 6 hours of sleep every night and preferably 8 hours. This is the routine I will follow every day for less than 90 days to reach my ideal weight goal and then continue on with my maintenance program so I do not go above 177 pounds for more than a few days. Because I am naturally a binge eater and enjoy eating large meals and snacking a lot I need to be on a maintenance program for the rest of my life. Most people once they finish their diet go back to the same eating habits they had before which will bring them right back to there pre-diet weight. A good maintenance program is one you can easily follow for the rest of your life. It is very important to maintain your ideal weight or you have failed again and are at a higher risk of health consequences.

Another reason most diets will fail is due to a lack of support and accountability. At this time I do not need any support but in the beginning I had a doctor friend of mine help and encourage me to get to my goal. Without her help I never would have made it. Accountability is what keeps me honest now. I am accountable to everyone I am helping get to their ideal weight. I am also accountable to everyone I tell what I am doing and how easy it is for me. If I fail I look stupid and that will not happen.

I hope you enjoy sharing my weight release journey and feel free to call me at any reasonable time 310 413-1746.

21st Century Weight Release

"Without a partner it’s not real Weight Release"

Bio

The Founder of 21st Century Weight Release has been overweight from 1988-2010 from usually between 20-40 pounds. In 1998 Richard's father died at 67 years old from a heart attack. He also was between 20 & 40 pounds overweight. In his late 50's he started treatment for high cholesterol, high blood pressure and diabetes. According to statistics being overweight put him at a higher risk for all those conditions and those conditions put him at a higher risk for a heart attack which is what killed him at a young age. So it was a matter of life and death that Richard got to his normal weight or he would increase his risk of ending up like his father. So from 1998 through 2010 Richard tried many diets and failed to get there. He came close but always went back up. Richard has been working on a Weight Release System since 2008 and finally succeeded in 2010. Richard was looking for a way for people like himself who are serious about there weight to make it easier to get there and stay there and that is the Story of the founding of 21st Century Weight Release. Weight Release is just a theory for you reading this but for Richard it is a Fact. Richard is the 1st and only 21^st Century Weight Release Expert and is looking forward to helping people reach that level. It’s a matter of life and death.
