Hi everyone,
it’s been awhile but I am still around. With family and work taking up alot more time, I haven’t had the time to blog about my progress. I’m proud to say that I’ve kept off the weight I lost with Nutrisystem. Had a extra minute today at work and wanted to tell everyone that is looking to join Nutrisystem to check out their new 2008 Nutrisystem Advanced program. Here are some of the benefits of it that I got from them…
1. Your weight-loss journey just got even easier. With NutriSystem Advanced, you’ll have more food choices, including all-new foods, on your NutriSystem menu. So you can enjoy eating what you love more than ever. Plus, your NutriSystem Advanced foods feature color-coded packaging based on the meal occasion (all breakfasts have blue wrappers, lunches have green ones, dinners are red, and desserts are pink.), making it easier than ever to organize your foods and choose your meals each day.
2. You’ll get more weight-loss benefits than ever! Love carbs? (Who doesn’t?) NutriSystem Advanced still provides you with the incredible breakthrough science of the “good carb” Glycemic Advantage™. But with this program, you ALSO get a unique, heart-healthy ingredient, plus natural fiber to help you control your appetite better and curb your cravings. So not only can you still lose weight while eating your favorite foods—you’ll feel full longer, too!
3. You have more weight-loss tools at your disposal. In the brand NEW Results Kit (which comes with your first Advanced order), you’ll get a new Meal Planner complete with a 28-day Daily Diary to keep tabs of your eating; a Serving Guide, with proper portions for hundreds of foods; and a Dining Out Guide, to help you keep your weight loss in check when you go out to eat.
4. You’ll also get an at-a-glance daily meal plan summary (perfect for posting on the fridge!), complete with FAQs about your foods. Plus, we’re supplying you with exciting, NEW and exclusive tools for your body and mind: an exercise DVD (created by one of our fitness experts, walking guru Leslie Sansone, or former NFL star Vaughn Hebron) to help you with your weight loss, AND you’ll get a Mindset Makeover™ Guide to help you think differently about weight loss. Heck, we’re even throwing in an access guide to your online community, and background information about the team of experts who helped to create your new program!
Well, hope you guys consider Nutrisystem if you’re looking for a new diet program! I hope to continue posting soon! Everyone have a great holiday!

Hey everyone! Sorry (again) for the lack of updates here. But things are going great. I’ve continued to monitor my food intake and most importantly I’ve stuck with going to my boxing class a few times every week. Going to the class has made me realize that not only does eating healthy help you lose weight, but exercising just makes you feel healthy overall and alot more energetic.
But anyways…I was going through my pictures and comparing how I look a few months ago to now and I realized how many pictures I haven’t posted yet on here. I browse through alot of diet blogs (if you have one, leave a comment here!) to get inspiration and to see how everyone is doing. I’ve noticed that by having pictures in your post can have a positive effect for yourself and your visitors. I tend to notice that I will spend more time on blogs that have pictures than those that don’t. Do you notice that also? Try it next time when you’re browsing around and see if a blog with pictures appeals to you more than one that doesn’t. I’ve also noticed that by going back through my old posts and see the older pictures I’ve posted, it helps me stay focus on my diet goals. So it’s a win-win situation for everyone!

I’d like to build muscle definition on my currently flabby body. I’m not as flabby as before thanks to Nutrisystem but though I’ve lost a considerable amount of weight I still have flab here and there. So what’s the best way to get rid of fat and build muscle?
I’m doing cardio (via boxing) a few times a week and will probably integrate some sort of strength training. I do a lot of pushups in my boxing class but that’s probably not enough. Do you have any advice for me?
I don’t need to look this muscular. In fact, I think the 3rd guy is photoshopped. Can’t be that big, can he?

I told you guys that I’m taking a boxing/muay thai class. Yep, I try to go three times a week. Anyway, here’s one of our coaches. His name is Romie (in the black shorts) and he’s pretty bad ass. He knocked out this dude in 2 minutes.
I’m not hard core like Romie. I’m not going to be fighting opponents (at least not his caliber opponents). I’m just looking to get more fit and get more muscle definition after losing weight on Nutrisystem. The diet was tough and I don’t want to gain my weight back again after all that hard work. The boxing/muay thai classes are awesome because it’s a 90 minute class and they work you almost every minute of it. You sweat a lot, burn a lot of calories, and hopefully after a few months look like you’re in tip, top shape.

So I told my wife that I’m going to work out hard and try to look like David Beckham one day. Might be a tough task considering that I was grossly overweight just a few months back. I’m down to the 170’s now and am trying to get to the 160’s level. I can thank Nutrisystem for giving me a jumpstart on my weight loss regimen. Now I need to burn off a little bit more fat and develop some muscle.
I think the Beckham dream (particularly the six-pack) is still a bit far off but we’ll see what happens. Lol.

I’m officially off the Nutrisystem diet and I lost a total of 16 pounds. I was on the Nutrisystem weight loss plan for approximately 5 weeks and while it was tough it was worth every moment. I was able to shed some unwanted weight and now I’m looking to get toned. I recently joined a boxing/kickboxing/Brazilian ju-jitsu club.
Here’s a picture of the kickboxing class. I’m not pictured but I’ll post one soon. Who knows, if I get toned enough maybe I’ll post one of myself shirtless. =)
For those looking to lose weight, I’d highly recommend Nutrisystem (at least for a month or two). Lose the weight you want to lose and then tone yourself up by doing intense cardio workouts. You can do Nutrisystem and an intense cardio program at the same time but I was too lazy to do so.

I tried to run the other day and it’s just so dang boring. I can’t seem to do it. I used to run in my early 20’s and for some reason it was more enjoyable back then. Maybe it’s because I was in better shape and could run longer (and, thus, could achieve that “runner’s high”). But these days, not only do my knees ache but I can’t seem to run more than 2 miles.
Basketball is my sport of choice but there is a high risk of injury…at least for me. I’ve had a compound fracture on my ankle, fractured my 4th metacarpal, tore ligaments in my shoulder…and countless other nagging injuries. Tonight I got poked in the eye. I lost my contact lens (my right eye) but luckily not my vision.
I think I need to find another sport to participate in. Any suggestions? Running is a no-go and basketball is too dangerous.

I had a nice Father’s Day brunch at this cool resort-ish type place. The food was excellent and the scenery breathtaking. I probably ate more than I should have…though you’d be proud that I ate less than I could have. Here are a few pictures from my first ever Father’s Day as a papa. Thanks Mrs. Happy and Baby Happy for taking me out. Mr. Happy here definitely enjoyed the day.
Looking at my picture, I look a lot skinnier than I did about 2 months ago. I guess 16 pounds (the amount I lost from the Nutrisystem diet) will do that to you. Off topic, but I saw a handful of people that were in really good shape. Motivated me to get up and exercise. I’ll be entering phase II of my diet and fitness plan. The weight loss part is almost over…now comes the fitness part where hopefully I’ll get into decent (hopefully great!) shape.
Anyway, here are the pictures. It’s definitely not something on the Nutrisystem food list. =)

I’ve been on a diet throughout most of my life. I’m committed to be on my last extreme diet and from now on, hopefully, I’ll follow this change of lifestyle where I can maintain my current weight (well, less 6-7 pounds since I’m still short of my goal). Currently, I’ve lost 16 pounds while on the Nutrisystem diet.
In the past (not using Nutrisystem) I’ve lost anywhere from three pounds all the way up to 20 or so pounds (think no carb).
So it made me wonder…what’s the most weight you’ve ever lost in your life?
