 Hi Friends, Starting July 31, we're breathing some new life into this part of the JohnMcMullen.com website. On Thursday, April 6, 2006, I weighed in on the air at what we believed to be 295 pounds. I'm 6' 0.5", 42 years old, and my Body Fat is 36.5%. My Body Mass Index is 40. I have been diagnosed with Syndrome X, a triumvirate of issues that include troublesome blood pressure, blood sugar and cholesterol. I have Type 2 Adult Onset Diabetes which is treated, for now, with oral medication. Unfortunately, we have found there to be significant discrepancies in the scales that were used from the outset of the program. And, because we cannot be certain of what my actual weight was on April 6th. We have an approximate idea that it may have been around 315 pounds, based upon actual body fat measurements. Watch John Disappear is a success story! I have already seen my body fat drop from 36.5% to 30.2% in the first 16 weeks. I have gone from having to wear a 44" waist to 38"! But, there's still much work to do. I am shooting for a goal of stepping on the scale on New Years Eve and seeing a number between 220 and 225 pounds. I want my Body Fat not to exceed 18%, my BMI to be under 25, my blood pressure to be 115/80, my blood sugars between 85 and 140. So, armed with new scales, we go into Phase 2 of Watch John Disappear at 280 pounds. Can I shed 55 more pounds in 22 weeks? It's definitely achievable! In which case, we'll have well exceeded our original goal of losing 75 pounds. With my great team of experts and my great audience's encouragement, we're off and running! I am creating this section of the website for you to follow the progress, access the information and perhaps be inspired to join me! |
