Nutrisystem, Tower 200, Elliptical, WeightWatchers & Hope.

With the Christmas season done, and the new year set in stone, the time is long over due for this fat boy to drop the pounds once & for all. With a bevy of weapons under my wing I am well prepared to say the least to loose enough weight for me and a small army of men. Have my fiancee and I over done things by loading up on all these tools?

I do believe this could work if well played. Nutrisystem. Our first ever order arrived yesterday. Two giant boxes with a month's worth of food for us both. Upon getting the boxes home we opened everything up and were surprised...stunned...maybe a little shocked at what 'portion control' really is all about. My God man, have we been so blind as to not really know what a normal portion of food considered one serving is?

The packages are small, thin and frighteningly light. How does one survive on such small amounts of food? Is this not NASA space food? Hamburger patties you immerse in water and watch it grow like those coin dispensed toys you soak in water for 24 hours as it gets bigger. Chicken salads already made for you in a package that feels like goo inside as you squeeze it in curiosity. The cereals are petite but the cookies look great. The price we pay to loose weight is unforgivable at times and I feel like it consumes us like wildfire sucking up oxygen to survive.

The Tower 200. Body by Jake. Endorsed by Randy 'The Natural' Couture, this single piece of equipment can totally transform you into a fighting machine. Ok, maybe not exactly as such, but will get you toned according to the reviews. It attaches to any door, is secure and by use of pulleys and bungee like cords gives you resistance in the form of 25, 35 and 60 pounds. For both arms/legs, gives you a total of 200 pounds of resistance. With over 200 different exercises to learn, it is a personal home gym.

Our Elliptical gives us our biggest hope in fighting the weight bandit. Making use of this machine is crucial. With less than 6 months left till we leave to marry, we are hoping to motivate each other. I'll keep ya posted folks.

My God, we look like suckers!! Look at every gimmick in the world we have! If this doesn't work, I don't think there's hope for us :)
