Not too shabby, but. . . . . . . .

June 29

I scheduled my next visit to Radiant today. It’s been a total of 23 days and I’ve lost about 15 pounds so far. It did slow down a bit this last week, probably because of my diet. The company I work for put on a early summer get together for all of the engineering staff. Between cheeseburgers, hotdogs, root beer floats, and ice cream, I managed to lose pretty much no pounds. I am really hoping to watch my diet a little more so I can lose it again faster. So far, though, I haven’t been on extremely strict eating regiments. The diet calls for 500 calories a day. Although it sounds tough, I am not having much trouble with it. I’m still trying to lose weight, so I figure that there is no reason to proverbially stuff myself. There's an allowed list of food, and I can eat those, so it's not too bad. I did Atkins for a while, and although a lot of the food was good, I still had to eat very little to lose even a pound or two per week. I’ll keep you all updated on how it goes over the next few days. I am going to stick to the list and see what happens. It would be healthier, and I might lose the pounds a little faster. Cheers. . .

Back to. . .Radiant!

June 23

This marks my second visit to Radiant. I, so far, have lost 11 pounds using their HCG drops. That puts me at 267 pounds. That’s not bad at all! My meeting with the staff there went very well, and I am really enjoying the services they offer. They are definitely professionals in their field. I had a friend at work ask me about the weight loss program I am using and how it’s been going for me. I told him that I am using Radiant MedSpa, and he laughed at first. I told him that in 13 days I had lost 11 pounds, and that this fall I would be playing some real football with the kids. He wasn’t laughing so hard after that, and said he might even give it a go. I figure the more people who find out about this diet, the more it will become popular. If it works for everyone like it has for me, it’s definitely worth it.

The only real problem that I realized I am going to have is the need for new clothes. After a few more weeks, I am going to be cutting off the sizes. For the ladies out there who don’t necessarily know it yet, us guys don’t find shopping to be an edifying experience. Once I hit my target weight, I’m going to for sure get some nice clothes, for now, I am just going to have to deal with getting a few new pairs of pants and shirts every few weeks.

4 Days, 3 Pounds. . .

June 14

It’s been 4 days, and I’ve lost 3 pounds so far! That’s pretty good if you ask me. The drops have been super easy to use, too. I was told at my last visit to Radiant that injections used to be given to weight loss patients – I think I prefer the drops, by far. I went to the store today and looked at the different weight loss supplements they have for sale. I have tried a few in the past, but I never noticed them working very well for me.

I did the math today, and if I continue on this current program, I will be able to lose about 22 pounds a month. My anniversary is in September, and I’ll be able to drop 100 pounds easily doing this program. I think my wife is actually a bit excited, too. ; ) After that I have a reunion to go to. I haven’t told any of my relatives that I am on this diet, so now hopefully “Big Andrew” will be fit and looking fine.

I have another appointment with Radiant in about a week. I will update you all on how that goes and what my weight is then. I weighed about 280 (278 last time I had checked), and now I am at 275. I hope to be under 270 at my next appointment. Talk to you all soon!

First Visit. . .

Wednesday, June 10

My first visit was a real success! I went in Wednesday, the 10th, and I knew this was the right place. It’s located near the university district, about 5 minutes from the University of Washington campus. I live about 30 minutes to the north of UW, so it is a pretty convenient place to go to. The staff there are very friendly and professional, and I am pretty sure this is going to work out well. The facility is also really nice, unlike other weight loss centers I’ve been to. Basically, they weigh and measure you, and then start you on their weight loss products. You go back every week to two weeks in order to follow up on your weight loss plan.

One thing I did learn is that the products they use are HCG based. There is some talk about the effectiveness of HCG, but the typical amount of weight lost by a patient is somewhere around 20 pounds a month. That’s definitely something I am willing to try! I also found out that there HCG is purchased from a certified American pharmacy, so it has full potency and isn’t a fake brand. The last thing I really wanted was meds from an overseas company making kids mix who knows what together and calling it weight loss medication. I ended up buying their drops, which are put under the tongue twice a day. That’s what I call easy. Anyway, I am really excited about this folks, and will keep you updated on how it goes! Wish me luck. . .

My first post!

I've decided to go ahead and start a blog. I'm going to the Radiant MedSpa and Weight Loss Center in Seattle, Washington. I've decided it is time to get off my lazy butt and see if I can lose weight. The center looks promising for me, and I want my friends to be able to take a look at my thoughts and progress as I go through the treatments. Apparently you can lose weight fast and reach a target weight in as little as a month. I am starting out at 260 pounds, and I want to be 150 in a few months in time for my anniversary and a reunion happening a month later.

A little background. . . I was a heavy weight back in high school. I weighed 180 pounds, could bench 300, and could eat anything I wanted. I dabbled a bit in protein shakes and some weird muscle building solutions and pills, but never any steroids. After getting out of college, I took up graphics design and computer software engineering. You don't really move a whole lot, and I gained weight fast with my poor eating and exercise habits. I feel bad all the time, and it's time to get slim again. I'm more than willing to try something new, so here goes. I'll update you all after my first visit. I have an appointment in the next week or so.
