Weight Loss with RejuvenateYou Metabolic Enhancer, Week 8 through Week 13

This is an update on the progress of a patient of ours who has started taking our RejuvenateYou Metabolic Enhancer along with changing his diet.  Our patient is a 44 year old male who works out regularly (about 4-5 times a week), but has he has seen his weight slowly creep up.  He was weighing right at 161 pounds and his clothes were fitting too tight, along with the fact he never gets a good night sleep.  I suggested to our patient that he take our RejuvenateYou Metabolic Enhancer Drops along with modifying his diet to follow our "Approved Foods" list and a Paleo Diet.  This is his progress report from weeks eight through thirteen:

Update for 11-23-2013

Weigh in 150.4 for a loss of 0.2 Lbs.

This week I am just happy to see the scales go down. However I am starting to suspect my scales are not accurate.

From Friday through last Sunday I was dealing again with the blood pressure medications over medicating me.  Monday I halved the prescription again.  So that is moving in the right direction.  I started at 20 Mg, then went to 10Mg, and now am at 5Mg.  Next stop is 0 for the BP meds.  I know my doctor will not be happy about that.

This last week I did not pay much attention to the diet.  I ate properly but did not really think about the diet or losing weight.  Because of being wiped out on blood pressure meds over the weekend I really never had the energy to go work out, and even after I got the meds straightened out I still did not have any energy until Wednesday.

The reason I am starting to suspect my scales are no longer giving me accurate readings is because of the mirror check and my pants.  The mirror check showed I lost weight around my upper abdomen, as there was more ribs and muscle definition showing.  My pants felt looser and I did finally get to the last hole on my belt.  The scales were cheap so maybe its time to get a new one.

With Thanksgiving next week my goal is to simply maintain my body weight.  So next Saturday we will all find out how well I did.

Update for 12-7-2013

This week’s weigh in 151.2 Lbs. for a weight gain of 0.8 Lbs.

That’s fine because the week before last was Thanksgiving and I was not going to deny myself all the good food that only gets made at that time of year.  Also, I had company for the first part of this last week so I was not really paying too much attention to my diet. 

I just remind myself that losing weight and getting into shape is not a sprint it is a marathon. Sometimes your body has a mind of its own and you will have weeks where it does not lose weight or may even gain weight.  Just keep consistent with the diet and correct your errors when you find them.  You will lose the weight but sometimes it will take longer than you would like.

The experiment for next week is to be very consistent with the diet and hopefully get back to a full week of working out.

Update for 12-14-2013

This week’s weigh in, 151.2, giving a zero weight change for the week.

The diet was not great this week.  The holidays are always a very challenging time for one to lose weight so, since I at least did not add any weight, I will accept the results as being “ok” and I will concentrate on eating better and getting more exercise next week.

I was able to work out some but several work related projects prevented me from having a full week of working out.  Hopefully next week will be back to normal hours and I will be able to get back to a normal week of working out.

Update for 12-21-2013

This week’s weigh in was 150.4 for a weight loss of 0.8 Lbs.

I bought new and hopefully more accurate scales this week so there might be small difference between last week’s weight in and this weeks.  Also, with it being the holidays my diet was not that great.  But doing the mirror check I have lost some weight so if I only officially lost 0.8 Lbs I am happy. This does puts me back at my lowest weight since I have been on this diet.

Since next week is a holiday I do not know how well the diet will work out.  I will have to play it by ear. As things change I will most likely make a mid week update.

Update for 12-28-2013

This week’s weigh in is 149.4 Lbs for a weight loss of 1 pound.

Because of all the problems I have had with medications, experimenting with potatoes and all the good foods at Thanksgiving, I decided last Monday to start the "30 Day Paleo Challenge" all over again, as well as no longer taking some of the medications I was prescribed.  So diet wise, for the next month I am going to keep it very basic and just eat foods that I know are allowed on the diet, and staying away from beer.  Well maybe one or two on New Years ;-).

I have been pretty good with the diet this last week which even surprises me since it was a disrupted week, what with Christmas and my birthday.  I’m happy that I have finally started losing weight again as well as finally breaking the 150 barrier that I have been stuck at.  I took the week off from working out because it’s just too difficult with the gym being closed and having short hours.  Besides it was Christmas and my birthday so I did not feel like it. Haha!

Next week will be just as much messed up because of New Years so I will concentrate on eating right, and if I get the chance do some cardio at the gym or find a nice hiking trail. Overall I am going to take next week one day at a time.

Have a happy and safe New Years!

Till next week’s update…

My thoughts on this update from weeks eight through thirteen:

1. I like seeing our patients struggles and success in one post.  This gives you a good picture that losing weight is a process.  You have to be dedicated, and you have to focus on eating properly.  It goes back to my post about "How to Lose Weight and Keep it Off".   Don't worry about looking at the scale everyday to see if you went up or down....just eat clean and let your pants and the mirror be the judge!

2.  Our patient has busted through the 140 handle!  This was the same guy who was at 161 pounds (for over six months) and could not get rid of any weight.  After thirteen weeks on the RejuvenateYou Metabolic Enhancer drops and following our "Approved Foods" list he has lost over 12 pounds.  His new goal is 142 pounds and I look forward to helping him get there.

3.  This patient is completely off the blood pressure medication.  Very impressive that he has the resolve and dedication to stay the course.  His hard work is paying off, kudos to him.

4.  One thing I find impressive is the fact this particular patient was not able to consistently incorporate fitness, yet he was able to lose weight.  If anything it points out how important eating clean is in order to lose weight.  Our Metabolic Enhancer drops work extremely well, but the one caveat I would tell anyone is they MUST eat properly.  Otherwise they are wasting their money on buying the Metabolic Enhancer drops or any product for that matter.

Overall I am very happy to see this patient continue to lose weight and now have a "140" handle, as that sounds much better than a "160" handle!  Great job and I look forward to seeing how low we can go!

The RejuvenateYou Metabolic Enhancer Drops are great for people who want to lose weight. BUT, anyone wanting to lose weight must change how they eat in order to have long-term success.  When a person combines fitness as part of their daily life, it is the perfect storm of losing weight and keeping it off.
