So I was standing in line the other day at the super market waiting to check out, and on the magazine rack there was this one little mini magazine that caught my eye. It was a prevention magazine featuring on the cover a Biggest Loser contestant. So, being the fan that I am, I snatched it up and took it home. Inside I discovered secrets of the Biggest Loser program…that which I am now following. The first revelation was how they calculated the necessary amount of calories needed to be consumed in order to lose weight to be your current weight multiplied by 7. So that puts me at 1344 calories (at least when I weighed in at 192) The second revelation was that those contestants get put through the ringer…so unless I quit my job…there’s no way I could put the amount of time needed in order to drop the drastic pounds the contestants do in merely a week.But let's go back to the calorie thing…I have to reevaluate every week?? Like as of this morning, I weighed in at 189.6 lbs (an indicator that this really does work) I now only consume 1327 calories as 189 x 7 = 1327!!! It's great that this helps in lossing weight but it just doesn’t give you a lot to look forward to in terms of rewards for your sacrifice. I’m going to try it their way for now…as I have already started to see results…granted I’ve only lost 2.6lbs…but that’s a whole lotta butter!
If you want more info on the diet...here's an interesting link I found:

Interesting blog, but what really caught my eye was that picture from a gym.
Good luck with your diet.

Well perhaps this is the key for me to start losing again?? I didn't lose any weight but I "shrunk" a size.. I have to try this out.. Thanks’ a lot for sharing.
How about you and I apply for the “friends with the same first name”, weight lose program on the internet?? That would be fun wouldn’t it??
