I felt I had to share this one. My doctor faxed me my blood test results this morning. My cholesterol dropped from 243 to 168! This was after an intense two-week diet and exercise program. I'm psyched! I also lost 25 lbs so far.
 
Hey,

I don't know ya, but it's nice to meet you. Great job on the weight loss and cholesterol drop man. Hey, as your signature says "the rest is a drop zone". Keep on droppin' :D

God Bless you!
David
 
Congrats! :) I hope you don't mean that you lost 25 lbs in two weeks though!?

As for me, I'm feeling pretty good myself. I've lost about 20 lbs over the past couple of months and gotten myself back into pretty good shape. Here's a pat on the back to us! :D

I lost 12 lbs during wrestling season. Now I'm packin on the pounds for football...yeah D-tackle right here. Wrestling=cut, football=mass building. I used to be a little butterball, but wrestling and eating right got me back on the right path. Now I can knock out 54 pushups in a minute, and my mile time is 7:07, and I can brag cuz I was 180 lbs at 5'5 in 6th grade.

Keep up the good work, getting in shape is great!
 
Greg, that's remarkable for two weeks. I know from your other post you said you've been doing an intensive program--can you give us an idea of what worked for you?
 
Hi John,
Here's a little background on the program:
About 2 months ago, I read an announcement on FoxNews.com that David Kirsch, Heidi Klum's personal trainer, was asking for volunteers to take up the Fox Ultimate New York Body Plan Challenge. Anyone interested had to email him a "before" picture and a paragraph explaining why he should pick you for the event. Six people would be chosen. I got an email from Mr. Kirsch's office on Monday, April 18 asking me to take the fitness test detailed in his book, The Ultimate New York Body Plan, and to email the results back. I took the test and passed. By Friday, April 22, I got a call from Mr. Kirsch's assistant asking me for my body measurements and to fax back the consent form. Later that afternoon, I got a call from a lady from Fox News asking me to email her "before" pictures, front and side. I didn't know who the six would be until the airing of the program on Sunday, April 24, at 2:48pm. My wife and I were shocked when David Kirsch announced that I was one of the six, not to mention the fact that this tub o' lard's pictures were flashed on live TV for all to see. David then announced that two of the six people were coming to the show the following Sunday to demonstrate some of the exercises from his book. All six of us appeared on Fox News on the 8th of May, two weeks after we started the program. I forgot to mention that in my email to Mr. Kirsch, I said that my daughter calls me Mr. Incredible because my gut resembles that of the cartoon character.

Here's what we did:
It's a two-week program with a very strict meal plan (including recipes from the author who is also a gourmet chef). You eat 4 meals a day, about 3 hours apart, and stop eating by 7PM. No more food of any kind after 7. Water is fine. You have to follow the ABCDEF plan: A= no alcohol, B= no breads, C= no processed carbs, D= no dairy, E= no extra sweets, F= no fatty foods (eat fish, chicken and turkey only).
Meal plan: (book has all the recipes you'll need)
Breakfast: protein shake (what kind is outlined in the book)
Mid-morning snack
Lunch
Mid-afternoon snack
Dinner: protein shake
You also have an exercise program outlined in the book:
Day 1: 45-minute cardio sculpting (in the book) + 45 minutes of cardio on your own (what kinds are outlined in the book)
Day 2: 15 minutes abs, core, back workout (in the book) + 45 minutes of cardio on your own
Day 3: 45-minute cardio sculpting (in the book) + 45 minutes of cardio on your own (what kinds are outlined in the book)
Day 4: 15 minutes legs and butt (in the book) + 45 minutes of cardio on your own
Day 5: 15 minutes abs, core, back workout (in the book) + 45 minutes of cardio on your own
Day 6: 45-minute cardio sculpting (in the book) + 45 minutes of cardio on your own (what kinds are outlined in the book)
Day 7: 15 minutes abs, core, back workout (in the book) + 45 minutes of cardio on your own
Day 8: 45-minute cardio sculpting (in the book) + 45 minutes of cardio on your own (what kinds are outlined in the book)
Day 9: 15 minutes abs, core, back workout (in the book) + 45 minutes of cardio on your own
Day 10: 45-minute cardio sculpting (in the book) + 45 minutes of cardio on your own (what kinds are outlined in the book)
Day 11: 15 minutes legs and butt (in the book) + 45 minutes of cardio on your own
Day 12: 45-minute cardio sculpting (in the book) + 45 minutes of cardio on your own (what kinds are outlined in the book)
Day 13: 15 minutes abs, core, back workout (in the book) + 45 minutes of cardio on your own
Day 14: 45-minute cardio sculpting (in the book) + 45 minutes of cardio on your own (what kinds are outlined in the book)
You drink lots of water to keep yourself hydrated throughout the day. Ensure you also drink your vitamin/mineral supplements

We're all now in the Maintenance Phase for life.
 
Thanks, Greg, I had never heard of this guy before. Whew! Did you get a copy of the program?

Actually it sounds like a pretty reasonable plan, especially considering the results you produced. My wife experimented with an eat a small meal every two hour program for a month or so and it produced weight loss even with nothing else, so I'm not surprised that adding activity to this produced even better results.

Ever hear of the Body for Life challenge? Sounds like you'd be a good candidate to win a prize there!
 
You're welcome, John. Each of the six of us received a copy of David Kirsch's DVD, the book, and his supplements and protein shakes. We just had to supply the sweat. :D I'll have to check out the Body for Life challenge.
 
Can I have your autograph? And your PAM since your wrist size has diminished to such a small diameter that your band will have ran out of holes to cinch up? :)

Too funny, Kin. The watch has been getting pretty loose on my wrist.
