John's Week 4 Update: I Lost Another 4 lbs, Down 17.0 lbs Overall!

Tweet

I had a feeling today was gonna be a great day for a weigh-in. I noticed this past week that my clothes were fitting much more loosely and I had so much energy I could actually stay up past 11 p.m. without nodding off while watching TV!

And boy was I right. I weighed in this morning at 216.0 pounds. That's four fewer pounds than last Wednesday -- and I am a whopping 17 pounds lighter than when I started this diet four short weeks ago!

I honestly love this Diet-to-Go approach to weight loss and healthy living. They do all the planning and all the cooking and all I gotta do is eat great and lose weight.

The food is awesome and filling. I just had a great breakfast of a toasted whole wheat bagel with cream cheese, an apple juice and a yummy lemon pie-flavored yogurt!

I have been fitting in more activity too. Mostly softball and basketball with the kids. Tonight I will sweat off a pound or two while umping a girls softball doubleheader while wearing the chest protector and mask in 90-degree heat!

My wife and I cleaned out our garage over the holiday weekend and that means I have easy access to my treadmill. Those workouts start very soon!

I also have my free weights all stacked by the weight bench. I WILL soon start a three day-a-week routine of presses, lifts, etc.

So, in essence, my message is SO FAR, SO GOOD!

And speaking of good, check out my five favorite meals from Week 2 of the Low-Fat Traditional meal program.

In case you are confused by the "weeks" I mention...

I just started my fifth week of following the Diet-to-Go program. Meanwhile, I am dining on the Week 3 foods of the Diet-to-Go repeating five-week menu.

All you need to understand is that Diet-to-Go is your personal chef. So why not pamper yourself this summer? You'll stay out of the hot kitchen -- and crowded grocery store -- and you'll get on the fast track towards a slimmer, trimmer you by fall!
