You must have this to lose weight...period! (Weight loss finale)
Ladies and gentlemen, our weight loss grand finale!
I sincerely hope you're doing well in every area of your life.
Short and sweet, quick and dirty: after the proper portions, diligent exercise, weighing and measuring, please don't forget this essential ingredient: Patience. That's it. Patience.
Weigh and measure once a week. If you're not making progress, please adjust your strategy. If you fall off the wagon, don't quit entirely...get back on. Believe in yourself and be patient. Once you're on the right path, you'll reach your goal. Starting a nutritional program is always plagued with challenges. There will always be a birthday, holiday, celebration, or buffet nearby.
If you're frustrated or stuck in your weight loss efforts, please let me know. I'd be happy to help, encourage, and cheer you on! Feel free to contact me anytime at samprindle@yahoo.com. Good luck!

No cost weight loss
No cost weight loss - I like that. What does it mean? Good question! In a nutshell, being resourceful. Forget about going out and buying pre-packaged meals, supplements, magic pills, everything organic, etc. Losing weight does not have to be expensive, unless you have that option and want it to be.
Let's start out with what you already have on hand. Here's what I'd like you to do: Pick a start day. On that day, write down or digitally record your weight and waist measurement (not too tight or loose around your belly button). Do this once a week only, please and record your results every 7 days. Here's why...your body's water weight can fluctuate around 5 pounds or so either way. You could be making great progress, weigh yourself during an upward fluctuation, and get majorly discouraged. Please resist the temptation to weigh...you'll be glad you did.
Allow yourself an average of 2,000 calories per day, not to exceed 14,000 for the week. Try to eat at least 60 grams of protein, 200 grams of carbohydrates, and don't exceed 75 grams of sugar daily. These figures aren't set in stone...just give it a try, especially if nothing else has worked.
Exercise (right now) is not required, but always recommended. In fact, I'm a big fan of any physical activity (even Frisbee, retrieving the basketball for someone practicing free throws), no matter how small. Don't bog yourself down with trying to juggle fitness and nutrition at this point. I would rather you master eating better now. We can always fine tune things as we go along.
If you feel that 2000 calories is too much, you can definitely try a lower amount, but I wouldn't recommend going much lower. Our goal is to not lose weight quickly, but develop a nutritional plan that you can enjoy for life.
Tidbits: Eat whenever you want; nothing is off limits. Just try your best to stay within the above parameters. If you stick with it, you will get results. Give it time, it WILL happen.
Questions, comments? Please leave them below and I will answer.
On your mark, get set, good luck! You CAN do it!!!

Here's exactly what I'm doing, health and fitness wise
Good morning friends!
As I'm writing this, I thought to myself, "Man, I feel better (and am in much better shape) than when I was a teenager! It's crazy, when many people have given up on looking and feeling their best, I promise, you don't have to settle for anything but the best for you...and I'm here to help...promise!
You CAN live a more fulfilling life, eating fantastic food, having more energy, and looking great, without starving yourself, camping out at the gym, or having surgery!
As you know, I've been my own self-experiment since 2006. After testing many different approaches, I finally found the one that I can honestly say...I could do for life. This is important. You need to design an nutritional program that you can live with, not something that you lose 10 pounds, are stressed and miserable, and gain it all back...yuck!
Since February, I have been following The Adonis Index program for men. It zeroes in on a shoulder/waist ratio of 1.61 (your shoulder circumference divided by your waist measurement).
Here is a look at where I began and now:

Boy, do I feel fancy...first blog with a pic included...woo hoo!!!
This program has nutritional software that guides you based on your current stats (weight, shoulder circumference, waist, age, activity level, height, etc.)
At the beginning, since you have more bodyfat to lose, you start with a lower calorie allotment for the week (Your body taps into your fat reserves to make up the caloric difference - as you make progress and lose fat, you receive more calories. What a plan!). Your mission: get as close as you can to your weekly figure without going over. Also, my protein requirement is a minimum of 60 grams, no more than 75 grams of sugar, and at least 200 carbs. Eat whatever you want, whenever you want, as long as you adhere to your guidelines.
Now, this may not be the answer for everyone, but it's been the most effective, fun, and rewarding answer for me since 2006. Here is my link to the Andonis Index program. Also, for the ladies, here is the Venus program.
Contact me anytime if I may answer questions or lend some support, I would be happy to help!
Have a fantastic day! Think of me as your own personal cheerleader!
p.s. As far as exercise, I walk 1 mile 5-6 times a week, and I go to the gym twice weekly. :)

Let's get started! (Your primer to lifelong fitness and health)
Hello!
My pledge from this point forward is to keep things relatively short and simple.
If you're struggling to lose weight, here is step 1: Your new nutritional goal is an average of 2,000 calories a day/14,000 weekly. Adjust your thinking to weekly instead of daily. In other words, come as close to 14,000 calories in a week without going over.
Step 2: Drink as much pure water as you can.
Step 3: Write down everything you drink and eat in your nutrition journal.
Step 4: Pick one day of the week as your official measure and weigh day. For example, mine is Monday. Like clockwork, I wake up and weigh in weekly after the bathroom. Then, Mary takes my waist and shoulder measurements.
This will be enough to get started. Remember, you are developing a plan for life, not to just drop a few pounds, give up and gain it all back.
If you have any questions, please leave a comment, or message me directly on our Facebook Code Name: TPR page. I will get back to you!
For now, I wish you the best. You can do this. I'm cheering you on!
