Hello Everyone. Ive got a story/message to tell everyone today, But before I get into that Ill do the regular stuff and the weight loss update. Yesterday was fine ate 4 meals at regular times and this morning did 25 minutes of cardio on the eliptical before work. Went to weigh in and was down to 296.5, I lost 3.5 more lbs this week and am down a total of 29.5lbs in 31 days. Its worth noting that when I 1st got the pills it stated that generally people lose 6-10% of their overall body weight in the 1st month, I started at 326 and 32lbs would be 10% I lost 29.5lbs so im just under 10% loss of total body weight in that 1st month. OK thats all fine and good, but now I wanna share something with all of you that have ordered these pills, are gonna order these pills or are starting any weight loss or better health plan. Yesterday a female coworker who ordered the same weight loss pills that I am taking (without the vitamins) came up to me and said "On Sunday I was feeling sick" I immediatley said what was wrong, tell me what happened. As it turns out she explained to me that what she was doing was, whenever she got hungry she would take a Zylene and then she wouldnt be hungry anymore, but on Sunday she didnt eat all day and then felt sick with a bad headache sunday evening. I asked her how much she lost and she told me 6 lbs in 2 weeks. I said thats great your losing weight but thats not healthy at all. So please allow me to explain to everyone what I explained to her and she seemed to totally understand my point. Lets say your watching the food channel and the person on tv makes a great looking, great tasting chocolate cake, and they even give you all the ingredients that you need and the quanities of each ingredient and the proper temperature to cook and for how long. Your excited about it cause you wanna make that chocolate cake for yourself or your family, you rush out and get all the ingredients but forgot to follow the directions for the amounts of each ingredient or how hot to heat the oven and your cake turned out burnt and didnt taste right cause you didnt put the correct amount of each product into the cake. Now lets say that that perfect looking, perfect tasting cake you saw on tv, is the healthy body that each one of us desire for our very own. We can be told all the ingredients to help us lose weight, and we can be told the right things to eat, and the proper cardio/exercises to do to get in shape, but if you dont follow the directions it wont fully work the way you want things to work. EVERYONE is capable of making that perfect looking, perfect tasting cake, but to make that perfect cake you need to follow the proper guidelines to do so. Same as losing weight, we can all lose weight and get healhty and acheive the body composition we want, but we have to follow directions and do things the right way. The bottom line to losing weight is a very simple thing, but not so easy to do. The simple truth is eat less, and exercise more and you will lose weight, the more strict your eating is, and the harder you exercise the quicker youll lose weight and the better results you will see. But many people like me, have been eating bad and doing nothing cardiovascular for so long that making the adjustment to healthy eating and getting in some exercise is not easy. I take 1 zylene when I wake up, and I take one more at 3 pm. I eat 4 small meals a day 9am, 1130, 2pm and 5pm, and then drink lots of water and diet iced tea or crystal light. I also take Nutravex and Biozyte the 2 Multi mineral and Multi nutrients that you take with zylene, the vitamins are very important because you need to make sure your body gets the proper vitamins that your body may be missing from eating less. The zylene zaps your appetite away completely, and gives you energy, the energy is to help you be more active thus burning more calories and losing more weight, along with the built in thermogenic thats boosts your metabolism. The fact that you wont crave foods or be hungry should not be used to not eat anything at all as that is starvation and will get you no where long term, plus its very unhealthy. Instead you should take advantage of the fact you dont have cravings or the urge to eat bad food and eat healhty food, such as salads, tuna, chicken, turkey, etc. You need to eat to feed your body and keep your metabolism running smoothly, starvation is not the answer. I know that none of you know me and sure I could be lying about all this weight loss, but the truth is Im a real person who really was 326 and am now 296.5 lbs, ive lost 29.5 lbs in 31 days and that is the truth, and although I am the one who has to eat properly and carry my butt to the gym, I know for 100% fact that without zylene to control my appetite and give me the energy to get to the gym I wouldnt have been able to do it, and without the multi mineral and multi nutrient (biozyte & nutravex) my body wouldnt have been able to handle the complete change in eating and the cardio that I started to do, they power your immune system and much much more to keep your body healhty while your eating less and exercising more. My 1st after pictures will be taken this Sunday and posted Monday, and you will all be able to see 1st hand that these products do work, and can work for you too, if you take them the right way. OK so ive went on long enough, hope everyone has a great day and hope you all eat a little better and exercise a little more. www.health4wealth.com/watchmeshrink

Hello Everyone, and good morning. Hope everyone is doing well and feeling fine. Yesterday was another good day on my journey to a healthy me. Had 2 protein shakes and 2 sandwiches at the regular times. This morning got up early and lifted biceps, 3 sets of curls, 3 sets of hammer curls and 3 sets of crazy 8's and then did 15 minutes of cario on the treadmill, did it on full incline which is alot harder and gets me sweating alot more than the eliptical also makes my legs alot more sore so I know it is working well. Also tommorrow is weigh day so I will have a weight loss update tommorrow and a reminder that I will be doing new pictures this sunday, to be posted on Monday. This will be the 1st after pictures and it will be 4 weeks (28 days) after the initial pics. So Im looking forward to see how that goes. Have a great day everyone. www.health4wealth.com/watchmeshrink

Monday October 29th 2007

Good Morning All, Sunday was a good day, got up and walked the 3 loops, 2.1 miles, and felt really good doing it, I am walking alot faster now. Doing the eliptical is making walking alot easier, and the sun felt good while I was walking. For sunday I had a protein shake at 9am, a salad at 11:15, at 2:30 Rotissierie chicken and steamed broccoli, and then another protein shake just after 5. Its the 2nd week in a row ive gone to watch football with the guys and had ZERO issues with cravings for anything I am not supposed to be eating. Last night, I lost the Superbowl to the Broncos in my Madden game, I know that none of you probably care about that lol, but It kinda ticked me off last night. Im just about to start season 5. Anyways back to real life, I got up this morning and lifted 3 sets of shoulder press, 3 sets of laterall raises and 3 sets of shrugs, then did 20 minutes of cardio on the treadmill. Walked with the machine on full incline and to be honest it was alot harder than even the eliptical is. So feeling good and all is well. Something a friend of mine mentioned to me yesterday is I havent been sick at all lately, and I was sick often because of how unhealhty my lifestyle was. But now with the vitamins, eating right and exercise my body is running much better, so on top of feeling great, I havent been sick at all either, its amazing what treating your body right will do for you, Im so glad I chose to change my lifestyle to better my health, I really am. www.health4wealth.com/watchmeshrink

October 27th, 2007

Hello Everyone, Happy Weekend. So Ill get back to the norm a little bit today, and talk about my eating and exercise. Yesterday I had 2 Protein shakes, a salad with regular dressing but very small quanity, and a PB & J sandwich on wheat. Last night after work I stopped at the Taco Bell drive thur for my wife, and the McDonalds drive thru for my son, and didnt even have an urge or craving to get anything for myself. Although I have to admit the food smelled really good in my car on the way home. OK, so took home the food for them, then walked to the gym, Lifted 3 sets of incline dumbell press, 3 sets of flat dumbell press and 3 sets of butterflys, then did 15 minutes on the eliptical. This morning before work walked back to gym and lifted legs, did 3 sets of leg press, 3 sets of leg extensions , and 3 sets of leg curls. I woke up to late to do cardio, but I will do that tonight after work. Anyways feeling great and eating great, hope you guys are jumping aboard and getting healthy with me, its hard at 1st, but then it becomes part of your regular day. If I can do it you can do it. Hope everyone has a happy, healthy and safe weekend. More updates soon. www.health4wealth.com/watchmeshrink

October 25th, 2007

Good Morning All, I am gonna take a break today from posting the usual and share something related to my work/personal life aside from dieting and exercising. As I mentioned in a previous update I work 70+ hours a week, both because I have a ton of work to do and also because I need the OT. Anyways, I have recently been promoted to Department Manager, and moved from hourly to salary, so I will be working less and making more. I am extremley happy with being promoted and although I know ive been here a long time and been a very loyal and dedicated employee for a long time, I also know that over the last month since ive been taking the Diet pill, and especially the Multi Mineral and Multi Nutrient, along with help me contorl my appetite, cravings for food, and help me lose weight, the vitamins, working out and eating better have made me much more alert, and able to pay much better attention to detail, and alot has to do with the vitamins and their benefits to the body. Plus the extra energy I have from the pills and the working out ive been doing, im much more active at work, and accomplishing alot more in a given day. So technically not only has the vitamins and the diet helped me lose weight, it played an important role in me getting a promotion. So needless to say im extremley happy and proud of myself for the last 20+ days of effort to become a happier, healthier person. It is paying off in more ways than I ever could have imagined. I again wanna thank Jason for reccommending the product to me, and all of you that have sent me comments or emails with support, advice and well wishes, I appreciate it very much. For all of the people who have ordered the product, I know you will love it and wish you the same success that Ive had in using it, if you have any questions please ask me either thru the comments of the blog or thru the email watchmeshrinkwithzylene@gmail.com I will get back to you ASAP. Thanks again, talk to everyone tommorrow. www.health4wealth.com/watchmeshrink

Wednesday October 24th 2007, WEIGH DAY

Good Morning All, well I must admit Im in a pretty good mood, yesterday the 23rd was my Birthday, (turned 30) I didnt even have an inkling of a craving for any cake, and thats all the pill because I know me and Im all about the cake, lol. Anyways, yesterday was good, had 2 sandwiches on wheat and 2 protein shakes. This morning I woke up late, but still hit the gym for 30 minutes on the eliptical, and although it was tiring I felt great that even though I got up late I still hit the gym and didnt put it off. Got home showered got ready for work, and stopped at my weigh station, lol, and actually walked in confidentally, I just felt that I had been doing good, anyways I weighed myself and just had a huge smile and happiness consumed my body, and Im being dead serious. I lost 6 more pounds, I was amazed I knew id be down but didnt expect to lose 6 more lbs, Im down from 326 to 300, ive lost 26lbs in 24 days, and aside from feeling great mentally for doing so well so far, I feel great physically, I walk straighter, I keep my head up instead of always looking at the ground, and I just feel so healthy, its a great great feeling, and I know ive got a long way to go, but the beginning of this journey has been very rewarding so far and I cant wait to continue improving my overall health, self esteem, and even my physical appearance. So again, down 6 more lbs this week, down from 326-300, 26lbs in 24 days. If youve started already keep it up, and if your havent, now is as good a time as any. Have a good day everyone. www.health4wealth.com/watchmeshrink

Hello Everyone. Yesterday the eating was good yet again, Im very happy with the how the pill helps take away my appetite and contols my cravings for eating unhealthy food. Yesterday I had 2 protein shakes and 2 Tuna Sandwiches, along with my Zylene and 2 muti vitamins. This morning I got up eary and went to the gym, I lifted Biceps today, 3 sets of regular curls, 3 sets of hammer curls, and 3 sets of crazy eights, then I did 20 minutes on the eliptical machine, also I noticed that it was much much easier to do cardio after biceps, than it was to do cardio after shoulders or chest. Anyways I am really sore but feel great mentally that Im doing so well so far. Im pretty excited about tommorrows weigh day, my pants are hanging off my butt without a belt, and when I started as you can see in the before pics theres no belt and there tight on me. Ok, so I will talk to you all tommorrow after I weigh in and update you with the new weight. Have a good day all. www.health4wealth.com/watchmeshrink

Monday October 22nd, 2007

Hello Everyone, Sorry about not posting on Sunday, but dont fret I will fill you in on all the details, lol. Saturday I was feeling great all day, I was very happy that I had lifted and did cardio prior to coming to work, I had 2 protein shakes and 2 tuna sandwiches all at the 4 usual times. Saturday night I was extrmely tired though, my body was a little sore from lifting and since hadnt lifted in a LONG LONG time my body was just drained come Saturday night. Got up Sunday morning and was tired and sore, but took my zylene and my morning mutlivitamin and within a half hour I was walking to the gym to lift and do cardio. I did 3 sets of overhead dumbell press, 3 sets of laterall raised and 3 sets of shrugs, and then followed that up with a 20 minute jaunt on the eliptical machine, followed by a cool down and the walk back home. Then had a protein shake, showered and was getting ready to meet some friends from work at the sports theatre restaurant, where they have 10 100" movie screens with a different football game on each, OH YES its a beautiful thing, lol. Met up with them and had 3-4 waters and a Chicken Ceaser salad, and I did put on some of the dressing but very very little, and this is still a ton better than what i would normally eat when I go to a restaurant, so i was very proud of myself for holding up and eating right. Its good to know can still hang with the guys, watch football and still eat the right way, not to mention none of them gave me a hard time cause they see me losing the weight and they all started eating better too, and the pill has been helping us all, so its a great thing. Left the theatre after the 1pm games and went home, had a protein bar at 5pmish, and then my nightly multi vitamin, and then just had water and diet iced tea the rest of the night. This morning I over slept and didnt go to they gym, however I will at the very least do cardio tonight with hopes of lifting also, just depends on what time Im able to leave work, and if the gym will still be open. Ok so thats enough for now, hope everyone has a great Monday and will be talking to you all tommorrow. Im really excited about the weigh day on Wednesday this week, the tan/beige pants I had on in the before pics, are falling off of me now, and although its annoying to keep pulling them up (since I didnt think I needed a belt) its a great feeling to know that they were tight on me and now they dont even fit without a belt, so im very happy about that. Until tommorrow.

Saturday October 20, 2007

Hello, hope everyone is enjoying there weekend so far. I am feeling great, got up at 6am this morning went to the gym for a quick workout before coming into work. Did chest today, 3 sets of dumbell flat bench press, 3 sets of incline press on machine and 3 sets of cable crossovers. Its been a long long time since ive lifted weights, so this may not seem like much, but boy was I feeling it. After lifting I got on the eliptical machine for 15 minutes, this machine had me dripping with sweat in no time, then did 15 minutes of steep incline walking on the treadmill followed by a slow 5 minute cooldown, then showered and off to work to start my day today. My body is definentley a little tired/sore from the workout however mentally I feel great, and am very glad I got up and worked out before work today. Yesterday, had 2 protein shakes and 2 tuna sandwiches. (FYI, my wife found this great mutli grain low carb bread with only 5 carbs per slice, and it tastes really good too.) Well, hope everyone has a good weekend and sticks to their eating plan and gets in some exercise, talk to you all soon. www.health4wealth.com/watchmeshrink

Friday Oct 18th 2007 (A Thank You Post)

Hello All, 1st off I want to say thank you to "Fatfreeme" for the contribution to the blog, I am honored that you would call me an inspiration, and also I wanted to say great job with the weight loss so far, you are an inspiration to me as well, cant wait to see your blog up and running as well. So keep it up, and Ill be right here along side you the whole way. I also wanted to change a little today and not discuss what I did yesterday, but instead say a special thanks to the person who got me started with Zylene, Biozyte, and Nutravex, (the weight loss, multi mineral and multi nutrient that Im taking). Like many others Ive tried many different diets in the past and even just eating right without any diet aids, and all usually fail pretty quickly. So when my friend who was always trying to get me to lose weight said he tried this new pill called zylene, I was skeptical, another new weight pill yada yada yada, but he showed me the site and I looked at all the ingredients and their qualities and how they can benefit me and was quite impressed, one ingredient can even help reduce the risk of cancer. (anyone can view the ingredients by going to www.health4wealth.com/watchmeshrink then click on products, then click on one of the 3 products and click ingredients) it will show you whats in every pill, what the ingredients are and the benefits of each. So anyways I told him I would try the pill, his father dropped me off some samples and after the 1st few hours I could already feel my appetite diminishing, and it makes choosing the right foods easy because I never feel starving, I just eat to feed my body and Im putting the right food, the healthy food in my body. The pill is working great and my appetite is still very much so under control. Also along with the diet pill Im taking the Multi Mineral and the Multi Nutrient, at 1st when I took them I was just taking them because they were replacing the vitamins and minerals I was losing from eating less, but the last few days Ive noticed that my overall mood, and the way I feel has improved alot too, and I am sure its partially due to the fact that Im losing weight and feel great about that, but also I think its because of the benefits the 2 vitamins are giving me, when I reread the ingredients this morning I was like wow, I cant beleive all of the stuff these little pills have inside them, but the proof is how good I feel because of them. Anyways, Jason I wanna say thank you VERY VERY MUCH for kinda making me try these pills, these pills have helped change me from someone who ate fast food daily, consumed at least 6 cans of soda a day, and the most exercise I got was walking from my Apt. to my car, not to mention how miserable and unhappy I was on the inside about the way I looked on the outside, and now I eat 4 healthy meals a day (and save alot of money eating my new way) look forward to my cardio walk at night and reap the rewards of self satisfaction for my new healhty lifestyle. So thank you very much Jason, for pushing me to start, every day has been easier ever since and now its just taking it one day at a time until I reach my goal. To everyone else that has already started there new healthy lifestyle keep it up, lets do it together, and to everyone else who has yet to start, Join us, we can all do it together, it can happen it just takes a little kick in the butt to get started, just start, you will be glad you did. www.health4wealth.com/watchmeshrink

Thursday October 18th 2007

Hello Everyone, Want to start by saying thanks for the positive feedback both in the blog and also in the emails, I appreciate the support more than you know. There was a question about when the new pictures would be coming. This is something Ive been wondering myself is exactly how often new pics should be posted. Lets not forget the diet started on Oct, 1st, I took the pill for the 1st time on the 3rd, and those before pics were taken on the 7th and posted on the 8th so its really only been 10 days since the original pics were posted. One thing I can tell you for sure is the pics will be taken on a Sunday and posted the following Monday to the blog, just not 100% sure which Monday as of yet, but I promise you they will be coming soon. On to yesterdays activties. The eating was fine as it has been, I kind of feel like a machine as I just eat when the clock tells me too, lol, Took pills, at 8am, had protein shake at 915am, PBJ sandwich at, 1145am, 230pm, and 5pm. Yesterday I worked from 9am, until 1030pm, then went home changed into shorts and tshirt and went for my walk. I did the 3 loops or laps again, (2.1 miles) and felt great actually, also I walked much faster than normal. Again Im not saying I look like Carl Lewis at all, Im just saying compared to the pace I was originally doing I was going much faster, and the walk itself was much easier than it was when I started. That made me feel good because it showed me I was making progress and improving my overall health. (ive got a very long way to go, but im gonna get there, one day at a time) Also, afterwards I was a little sore, but not nearly as sore as when I started, so clearly my body is adapting so that is a good thing. Ok, so thats that, again thanks for all the feedback and support I really do appreciate it, and it does feel good to know there are people behind you, so thank you all for that. www.health4wealth.com/watchmeshrink

Wednesday Ocotober 17th (WEIGH DAY)

Hello Everyone, Well today is another weigh day and as I said i was very anxious and nervous. Got up this morning, took a shower, got dressed, took out the trash, and on my way in to work I stopped at the place where I have been weighing myself parked the car, and proceeded to walk inside. My eyes were unflinching as I made my way across the parking lot, 2 tumbleweeds even blew by me and the music from The Good The Bad and The Ugly even started to play. Ok sorry enough of that, I walked in got on the scale and I was down to 306, 6 more pounds I lost this week and down a total of 20lbs in 17 days, from 326 to 306. Obviously Im very happy about this and and love the fact that its going so well. I have a long way to go but im getting closer to my goal every day. Thanks everyone who has offered kind words and advice, your words help alot. I know im not done yet but I fell great. Ill talk to you all again tommorrow I have to go and be happy. www.health4wealth.com/watchmeshrink

Tuesday October 16th

Hello All. I am a little frustrated this morning, after not working Saturday or Sunday I had alot of work to catch up on yesterday and I was stuck at work until 10:51pm last night. The good news is I am almost completely caught up, the bad news is I was very dissapointed in myself as last night I didnt do any cardio when I got home I just went straight to bed. Im trying to just be positive and stay in good spirits and I know in the past if I didnt work out I would just be like, oh well, and now im actually dissapointed in myself so I can tell my mindset has changed, yes its bad that I didnt do cardio, but its a good thing that i am mad at myself it will motivate me that much more to get off my butt and make sure I do my cardio tonight. As far as the eating part goes I have that under control with the help of the pills im taking. Yesterday I had my pills at 8am, Protein shake at 9 am, chicken salad sandwich at 1145am, tuna sandwich at 240pm, and a protein shake at 520pm, so I am very happy with that half now I just need to conquer the physical side, and im getting there and doing alot better than I was but still have alot of progress to make. As my friend always tells me, "Baby steps Ryan, Baby steps". Ok, so Tommorrow is my weigh day and I will update the blog with my new weight tommorrow. I started on Oct 1st, at 326, and last Wenesday, my 1st weigh in I was 312 down 14lbs. So im very anxious but also very nervous about my weigh day tommorrow. Well, hope everyone has a great day and I'll see you all tommorrow with my new weight update. Don't forget its never to late to start getting healthy, your body will thank you for it. www.health4wealth.com/watchmeshrink

Monday October 15th

OK Everyone now we are all caught up. Sunday was the day after the theme park where everyone is exhausted and nobody wants to move or do anything but sleep/rest. We all got up and packed the car I walked about 1/4 mile to pick up breakfast for the family, and then 1/4 mile back so we could all eat together at the hotel room. (nothing great but a nice little walk there and back prior to breakfast to get the metabolism started never hurt anybody. I ate scrambled eggs for breakfast. There was a big Mcdonalds about 1 mile from our Hotel that was much larger than any Mcdonalds Id ever seen, so we made it a point to stop there for some pics and for my son to be able to play there, but when we got in we saw there wasnt any playground or anything just a very clean Mcdonalds with 4 40" tvs all connected into like 1 160" tv playing disney cartoons. It was quite the spectacle, but the bigger thing for me was that although everyone else got something to eat all I got was a water, and I didnt even have the urge to get anything. This is a big deal for me because prior to me changing the way I was eating and exercising it was rare for me to even drive by a fast food place and not stop to get something let alone actually walk in a fast food place and not get anything to eat it was a big step for me and I passed alot of self tests this weekend, and was very happy about that. The drive home was peaceful as everyone napped except me while I drove home and then we got home and ended our vacation safely. A good ending to a very fun, happy and event filled weekend. For the day I had scrambled eggs, a protein shake, and 2 tuna sandwiches. I did not do cardio on Sunday with exception of the walk to and from picking up breakfast, but as of tonight the goal is to start with the everynight walks again. But as I said before, this weekend was a huge success 1) because my son had a great time and loved it and thats why we went was for him and 2) I was able to completely stick to my eating plan and that is a huge step for me. Hopefully those of you reading the blog have started making a change in your eating habits and/or exercising habits and are on your way to a healthier you. If not its never to late to start, stop waiting to start tommorrow and start your journey to a happy, healthier life today. Good Luck to us all. www.health4wealth.com/watchmeshrink

Sunday Oct 14th, Written on Monday the 15th

Hello Again, So Saturday was a very very LONG and tiresome day, but a very very fun day also. Woke up at 545am whole family took showers I took my pills and a protein shake, and we were out the door to start our day. (This weekend was my sons 1st trip to Disney World) In an effort not to make this post 5 pages long I will sum things up as short as possible without losing the more important details of what took place. But for the most alongside endless amounts of fun, Disney includes, endless walking, endless amounts of different types of food, and meeting all the characters and rides you could ever imagine. By the way I found out that at the age of 3 my son already cannot stand waiting in line, whether its to meet Winnie the Pooh, to go on a ride or to get the food he wants, hes quite the impatient young man, but Ive never seen him as happy as he was on Saturday. So anyways thurout watching my family eat at what seemed like every single vendor, lol, alls i did was drink water, and have a total of 2 protein shakes. Then we had reservations to eat at Chef Mickeys, where my son gets to eat dinner with Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Pluto, and Goofy, He had an absolute blast, was so happy for him he was just in heaven with all his favorite tv cartoon heroes. Also this was a true test as part of the package was an all you can eat buffet, I was a very good boy and all I ate was 2 Chicken Breast (even peeled the skin off) and some green beans. So I was very proud of myself that a trip to Disney and I was strong enough to not cheat at all, and get in good exercise at the park itself. So it was a success in my book as my son had a great time, and I got in plenty of walking and ate extremley well. Only negative if there is one is I am burnt like a lobster, and my pockets are now empty, lol but it was a great time and my sons happiness was well worth it.

Saturday Oct, 13th. Written Monday the 15th

Hello everyone, Sorry for the delay I wasnt able to make updates while away this weekend, This will just be a qucik update of activities for what I did and ate on Friday. Friday was a very routine day, protein shake at 9am, than a peanut butter and jelly sandwich on wheat at 1130am and 2pm then a protein shake at about 7pm, I had the protein shake at 7pm because I was driving to Orlando and didnt get there, check in, and unpack the car till about 7pm. My eating was fine on Friday, however after in the hotel just settled down and went to bed, I didnt do any cardio on Friday, however I was pretty sore after 3 straight days of 2.1 mile walks anyways. But I did feel kinda guilty that I didnt do cardio on Friday night. However that guilt would soon fade away after Saturdays "workout" lol. Saturdays events will be updated shortly.

Friday, October 12th 2007

Hello again everyone...1st off thanks Susan for your response, and good luck on your quest to lose the 70lbs. Please keep me/us up to date as to how you are doing. I know it makes it a little easier for me to complete my exercising knowing that I am gonna have to write what I did on my blog and if I slack off everyone will know, lol. and to be honest it may be a blessing in disguise because I wanna succeed not only for myself, my wife and my son, but now I wanna succeed to show all of you that it can be done, and hopefully we can all do it together, so as shocking as it may seem all of you help keep me going too, so for that i thank you. OK, so now on to yesterdays activities. Yesterday, once again took the pill in the morning, then did my 4 meals accoring to time, and I try to be as close to 9, 1130ish, 2pmish and 5pmish, The pill im taking helps me curb my appetite so well that im really not that hungry at all during the day and its helping me greatly eat the right food because I am not craving anything, so instead of eating because I am starving I am eating because Its time to and I need to fuel my body. Im eating the 4 small meals because it keeps my metabolism going strong, and eventually up to 5 - 6 small meals a day. The reason its good to eat small meals thruout the day instead of 1 or 2 large meals is because your body breaks down the small meals better and keeps your body running smoothly instead of large meals that weigh you down and just sit in your belly all day. A good explanation of this for those who dont understand is, think of your body as a furnace or a fire, if you have a fire and throw 10 logs on the fire it will take a very long time for the fire to burn thru all the wood and at times can even put the fire out, but if you put 2 logs on the fire it will burn very quickly than 2 more and so on and so on....this is very similar to eating, the small meals are broken down much quicker than large meals and it helps keep your metabolism going faster which in turn helps you lose more weight. Hope that makes sense the way I wrote it...Anyways back to my day, the 4 meals were fine no problems with that, got off work at about 9:15 last night stopped at the store for some things my son needed for daycare/school and then got home just after 10pm, after unpacking the groceries I immediately changed into shorts and T-shirt and went out for my walk. I completed the 3 loops for a total of 2.1 miles for the 3rd straight day. My energy level was fine however this was the hardest walk to date, my legs were pretty sore and my feet are pretty sore and my body was just struggling to do the walk, my mind was fine just body wanted to quit, however I didnt quit I finished the walk, and on the way up the stairs to get to my door was rough lol, and in a crazy way I enjoyed the aches in my leg muscles because I knew i was shocking my body and this was good, however I was pretty sore. Once I got out of my clothes and into my night clothes and into my comfy recliner with and iced cold glass of WATER, lol, the soreness kinda went away and I was very happy and proud because despite the aches and pains in my legs I completed what I set out to do and am 1 day closer to my goal. and then a bit later actually passed out and slept all night in my chair. So today my legs are a bit sore but again I am fine and very happy with my ability to stay the course. Ok, well im gonna end this for today, last thing before I do is I am going out of town this weekend, and will try to post my daily blog from wherever I will be, However if I am not able to, I will make a post on Monday on my daily activities for Friday, Saturday and Sunday, but hopefully I will be able to post thruout...Everyone whose been eating better and exercising keep it up, and for those who havent its never to late to get started. A month from now we can be 30 days closer to our ultimate goal or we can still be making excuses as to why we havent started yet. Lets all get healthy for our loved ones, family, friends and most importanyly for ourselves. www.health4wealth.com/watchmeshrink

Hello again everyone. Yesterday was another good and healthy day for me. Yesterday I had a protein shake for breakfast at 9am, then at 1130 I had a tuna sandwich on wheat bread, at 2pm i had a Chicken salad sandwich and then at 5 I had another protein shake. Dont feel hungry at all, im just structuring my body to eat small meals over the course of the day. But not only has the pill helped curb my appetite, but its giving me energy (without ephedra or caffeine) enough energy to work my 12 hour day, and then come home and at 10pm last night Took another 2.1 mile brisk walk and felt great, it was noticeably easier than the Tuesday night walk and after the walk I feel great. A sense of pride and accomplishment for a day of healthy eating and a 35-40 minute walk. (i will need to get some walking/running shoes as the shoes im walking in are making me feet really sore ) Also, what i am doing is parking a decent walk away from my office building so i get a little walk in before work and after work, I figure every little bit helps. Hopefully my information can help some of you that are reading this, and if any of you have any tips to help burn more calories thruout the course of the day, or any tips at all please share them with me, or if you have any questions by all means ask and ill get back to you. Look forward to hearing from you all.. www.health4wealth.com/watchmeshrink

Update

Hello Everyone,

1st off I want to say thank you to everyone for their kind words and their well wishes. Hopefully my updates and eveyones encouragement can help all of us reach our independent goals. I know having a support group can help when times get tough and we are at our weakest.

Before I tell you about my 1st weight loss update I wanna share something with you all that really made me feel proud last night. Now this may not make sense to people that havent struggled with weight loss or getting to the gym, but anyone who has struggled will know exactly what I am talking about. The 1st 6 days of my new life I just focused on adjusting my body to eating less and getting thru my 12 hour work days, (I work over 70 hours a week). Last night, Tuesday the 9th of October, was gonna be my 1st night I go to the gym. I worked from 9am to 9pm, rushed home (because the gym in my complex closes at 10) got home at 932pm changed into shorts and Tshirt and was at the gym at 938pm thinking ok I can get in a good 20 minutes of cardio for my 1st night of exercise and that will be a good start. So I get to the gym and the door is locked, I rush over to the other entrance, locked again, I look in the window the lights are on but there is know one there, my first reaction is that im very ticked off, my 2nd reaction is well it wasnt meant to be, Im gonna go home and watch tv I will start tommorrow, and on the walk back to my car I start thinking im not gonna use this as an excuse, my whole life ive been saying Im gonna start tommorrow, I decide to just walk around my complex, im far from race walking but im walking at a much faster pace than just my regular walking pace. So I had no idea how long the loop around my complex was, after loop 1, was feeling great and wanted to feel a good sense of accomplishment so went for loop 2, still feeling great a little tired but had no idea how long the loop was so went for loop 3, and felt great when I completed loop 3. I got in my car and set the odometer to 0 and drove the loop to see how long it was, to my surprise and my extreme happiness it was .7miles a loop and I had done 3 loops, which is 2.1 miles so I felt great. Not only had I not just given up and waited till tommorrow I also had a very nice little 2.1 mile walk. I was very proud of myself, and this morning I am a wee bit sore but Im fine and looking forward to another nice walk tonight.


So, October 1st I went to 3 different locations to get a starting weight, and all 3 scales were quite different, So my actual starting weight may not be 100% accurate but the amount I lose will still be accurate because im gonna use the same scale thruout. My start weight on October 1st was 326, on October 3rd (Wednesday) I started taking Zylene and the 2 multivitamins. I weighed myself again this morning (October 10th) and i was at 312, so Ive lost 14 lbs. Needless to say when I got on the scale it took all my power not to yell out with joy. I knew Id be losing weight as my pants were considerably bigger on me but even I couldn't beleive I lost that much that quick, I am on a very enjoyable natural high right now and feel great and even more motivated than before.

So far ive been eating 4 small meals a day, I take the pills at 8am, then eat at 9am, 1130am, 2pm, and last at 5pm, and then just water, crystal light, or diet iced tea all day.

Welcome to my blog, Tuesday October 9th 2007

Hello, My name is Ryan, I am 29 years old and as you can see by my pics I am drastically overweight. I am married with a 3 year old son and want to watch my son grow old and play with him with the energy I used to have. My wife is very beautiful and very in shape and she deserves a husband who is also in shape to grow old with. I was well aware I was overweight, but recently became aware of how bad it was getting for me. After a routine trip to the supermarket, I was carrying bags to our apartment, and had to make 3 trips up and down the stairs (2nd floor), afterwards I was extremley winded and even lightheaded and started to think is this how pathetic Ive become. This prompted me to get a picture taken of myself and after seeing the pic my head was filled with thoughts of self disgust and remorse as to why I would let myself go like this. This Blog will be a Diary of my journey towards a new healthy life. If you know anyone, that is overweight and wants to improve their physical condition for a longer happier life, have them join the blog and we can all lose the weight together, we will be each others support group and motivate one another with our success stories and also help each other get thru those tough days that everyone whose tried to lose weight has had. Please wish me luck as I begin my journey to a happier, healthier life.

October 7th THE FIRST PICTURES

Monday October 8th ...

These are Ryans first pictures he has been taking the Zylene for 4 days now. In the first month you normally see a 6 to 10% weight loss. Ryan will update the blog weekly with how he feels, what he feels and his weight gain or weight loss. For those of you who know Ryan they know he has gone up and down in weight but I have never seen Ryan this big. His is over 30 lbs as the scale did not go that high and he is going to check a different scale today.. We will post a picture of him on a scale soon and weekly as well.

Can Ryan get down under 200lbs and how long will it take? Will he eat less? Have less cravings? Only one way to find out... Check the weekly updates for FATBOYSLIMS??? before and after.
