Post number 114 tells about the Olympic Champions in Qivana

 

 

======================================================================================

 

 

 

Come join with us in watching Joel lose 45lbs.

 

 

He started this journey at 225. He cut back on his eating for 2 weeks ang got down to 222.6lbs.

 

 

The GOAL is 177lbs.

 

 

As of today, he is at 218.4 and is using the METABOLIC SYSTEM.

 

 

He is enjoying this journey so far. ....as he laughs.

 

 

Last week in Orlando, with our HELPER couples who came to visit, the JOURNEY got messed up, but it is not healthy to lose more than 2lbs a week anyways.

 

 

He ate more popcorn than what he should have last night while we played cards with our kids AND he STILL dropped a 1/2lb.

 

 

NOT BAD!

 

 

If anyone wants to join Joel in this journey of losing weight with him (from a distance) here is a link for information on this METABOLIQ.

 

 

 

 

I will be giving a daily or every few days account on this JOURNEY and more than likely give encouraging words along the way, as ususally I can't help myself.

 

 

I love to encourage people.

 

 

You CAN lose weight, if you WANT to.

 

 

You CAN do ALL things through CHRIST who strengthens you.

 

 

Go to this link and watch the video and listen to the audio of the doctor who created "Metaboliq". It resets your metabolism back to that of a 20 year old. It is not a "fad" diet.. it is something that Joel actually likes!

 

 

http://www.theqtrainer.com/metaboliq.html

 

 

If you would like to buy product after checking the audio and videos out, you can call Ginger (ladies) or Dave (men). Tell them that Joel and Kathy sent you!

 

 

Ginger 352-233-9494

 

 

Dave 386-266-7252

 

 

You only use the products for 3 and a half months. After that, you can just eat the way the doctor teaches which is pretty easy to do. You don't have to keep buying product. How many diet plans teach you to live without their product and keep losing weight when you stop buying from them?

 

 

Metaboliq

This revolutionary system is not driven by gimmicks. It is driven by the most extensive human clinical trials ever conducted in this area. If you understand that getting to and maintaining long term a healthy weight is perhaps the most important thing that you can do to impact your health, you will be blown away by the following information on this great new life altering product system.

 

 

Blessings and much favor,

We BELIEVE in you!!!!

 

[Guest]

Joel,

 

Stay away from the Sunday buffet today!!!!

 

You are doing great!

 

You can do this!!!!

 

Take Care,

Julie

I looked a little bit at the products . . . sounds healthier than alot of others I've heard of. I have Hashimoto's Disease and my weight goes up and down . . . recently though it's been more up! I have a good 20 to lose to feel real good again. Is this program pricey Kathy???

 

JOEL - you GO MAN!!! I'm cheering you on from this side of the country!

[Livia]

HEY JOEL.........................

 

Listen to Kathy give you the good boy pep talk..

 

That Little minute of a Butterfly doesn't know anything about dieting. LOL

 

Now then Joel................take it from me, You can do it!

 

I've "lost" 2 of me over a lifetime. Now I'm tired of doing that.

Would you jiust lose a few lbs. for me while your at it!.

 

Like when you get up from the table everyone says, "while you up will you get this or that for me."

 

Just like that kinda favor.............drop a few for me.

[KathyandJoel]

Hi there everyone,

 

thank yoiu all for your great support....on your side of the country.

 

 

As far as the cost....not really. The first two weeks are or at least seems like, because you are replacing meals for the two weeks.

 

Would you call Ginger at the number above, I am not quite sure of the cost the first two weeks and then monthly for 3 months after that.

 

After 3 months, you don't have to buy anymore product, but Ginger is the one answering questions for us, since we are very busy.

 

I can tell you this, Joel is not hungry on this METABOLIQ diet product. That is amazing. Normally, when he gets hungry, he starts to feel light headed, but he hasn't at all on this.

 

This has been a VERY positive thing for him, We are VERY PLEASED.

 

I hope this helps for now,

 

Blessings, Kathy of Joel and Kathy

[KathyandJoel]

Hey there,

 

QUICK update on Joel's weight.

 

 

We had gone to GA to see Chris last week and while there we at a Chinese Buffet....TWICE!

 

That wouldn't have been so bad, except he at TOO MUCH!

 

So, as of TODAY.... He has LOST 10LBS.

 

He is down to 214.8. ( Joel said for me to make sure I put the ( .8 ) in there. lol. every OUNCE counts.

 

Anyways, this "MetaboliQ" is WORKING!

 

AND, that is with our Orlando trip with some of our helpers, when Joel had a few donuts, etc.

 

Very pleased.

 

And, he is not hungry. This shake and the candy bars....work.

 

NICE!

 

Well, time for me to get back to my pizza....Joel is enjoying a GREAT GREEK SALAD, then we have to get back to the Intensive.

 

Blessings.

 

Will give update as I can.

 

Kathy and Joel

 

PS. If you have any questions, PLEASE feel free to call Ginger at the number in one of the posts above. She answers all of our questions for us, since we are so busy, and lately, VERY, VERY BUSY!

 

Plus, we are in an INTENSIVE right now.

[Livia]

Joel...............There's a book "French Women Are Not (or never) Fat."

 

The key.....................They take 3 bites of anything they want........NO more than 3. They never have cravings that way...........

 

It sounds good in theory. Maybe it's worth a try while you

"Killing the Flesh"

 

"You can do it!" Isn't that what Kathy (Your Mary Poppin bride) always says.

On a serious note: I'm praying for you.

[JoelandKathy]

[KathyandJoel]

YES,

 

It is true. Joel weighed in a 213.8.

 

He is making great strides, EVEN tho, he hasn't been 100% following the eating rules.

 

Kind of hard to do so, when he and I go to GA to see our son Chris play baseball.

 

But, I must say, he is doing AMAZINGLY well at this.

 

This product is INCREDIBLE!

 

Joel does not get hungry between breakfast and lunch and lunch and dinner.

 

You can see it on his face. It is definately thinner and it's not just the haircut.

 

Well, that is all for now.

 

Please feel free to call "Ginger or Marshall, " If you are interested in more information about this product.

 

Their numbers are in one of the posts above.

 

We, personally, are just too busy to find all the information and try to get it on these postings. It would be much easier for people to just call her or him.

 

Blessings everyone,

 

time to chime out for now,

 

Kathy of Joel and Kathy

 

Go Joel, go Joel, go Joel, go Joel!!!

If I am reading this right Joel has lost 12 lbs in less than 3 week??? Wow..keep up the good job JOEL we're rooting for you!

 

I just called Ginger myself to see what this is all about and now I am getting excited about it...Have to wait until next week to order...funds are low at the moment...but have been reading the web sites and listening to all the information on these products....Sounds like it might be the WINNER to our weight loss goals!

 

Thanks for keeping us up to date on the progress...

[KathyandJoel]

Hi there "Giving Hope,"

 

Yes, that is true, he has lost 12 lbs in 3-4 weeks and he hasn't been following the "eating equal portions" as the diet requires.....ALL THE TIME. Most days equal portions and other days, maybe too many calories in his "equal portions," and yet, he is

 

STILL LOSING.

 

TODAY, he weighed in at 213.3

 

I did the first post on March 3rd. He had actually started changing his eating habit a week before he got his DIET pack. So, its been more like "almost" 4 weeks".

 

That is 3 lbs a week. The scientist who created this said that it isn't healthy to lose more than 2-3 lbs per week as it is, so Joel is right on track.......and that is with "NOT eating properly at times. Meaning, the right portions.

 

Sitting down at dinner, cutting your dinner plate into 3rds and dividing your meal accordingly. 1/3 proteins, 1/3 smart carbs and 1/3 starchy carbs.

 

He is looking thinner and it's all good.

 

Ginger is a great person to talk to along with her brother Dave and MLM Guru, Marshall.

 

Joel loves the shakes and the candy bars and the BEST thing is, he is not hungry.

 

This has been the only thing, diet wise, he has done and is doing with so much excitement.

 

I highly recommend this.

 

When I met Joel he was 160lbs. The great debate over the last 26 years has been: Joel says that he was 165lbs, I say 160.....of course I AM RIGHT!

 

Jeans, corduroy jacket and cowboy boots.

 

i am not sure at what point the weight started to pack on, but he has been overweight MOST of our marriage and the kids have

 

NEVER seen their dad....THIN! NOR, without some kind of facial hair.

 

So, here we go!

 

THIN it is.

 

Hurray!

 

Well, blessings to all for now,

 

Kathy of Joel and Kathy

Ran this by Jeff yesterday, since we agree that when we spend over $100 on something we should talk about it first...and Jeff said, if it's what I want to do...then go for it! (I knew he would )

 

So next week (payday) I am going to order it all and get to work! I have a special date in mind that I want to look my best for!

 

Thanks

Heather

[KathyandJoel]

That is great!

 

 

Your gonna love it.

 

I am very proud of Joel,

 

Kathy

[KathyandJoel]

Ok folks,

 

he is NOW down to

 

 

211.

 

 

Congratulations Honey, I am so proud of you. ::clap ::clap ::clap ::clap

 

God is good.

 

For all those who are wanting more information on this AWESOME PRODUCT, contact GINGER in one of the earlier posts. She is able to answer all your questions.

 

Well, that's all for now folks,

 

blessings, Kathy of Joel and Kathy

 

Time for our Intensive. Wooooo hoooo!

[Guest goingsolo]

Kathy,

 

I heard that this post wouldn't go through because there were too many emotions????

 

Ha Ha!

 

I'm so happy Joel is losing weight. Big pats on the back for both of you!!!

 

Take Care,

Julie

[MaryJane]

It's all good. VERY good!!!

 

Congratulations!

[KathyandJoel]

I heard that this post wouldn't go through because there were too many emotions????

Ha Ha! [/s]

 

 

Yeah, that was GREAT :rotfl:

 

It was said that we ladies will have to "Limit" our emotions on the forum. :rotfl:

 

Yeah, Joel is doing really well on this "diet." He would do better if we didn't go see Chris so much (eating out with him) is the "Problem."

 

This weekend, Joel ended up eating out on different occassions, thus he probably hasn't lost any more weight at the moment, but he will this week.

 

If he was STRICT on this diet, then he would be right on target, but he is doing amazingly well, with our lifestyle.

 

With this plan, you have to be on this for only 3 months, but because of our lifestyle, he is going to stay on it a month or two longer to compensate for the times he wasn't as dilligent as he needed to be.

 

Kind of hard to "not eat out" when your "EATING OUT" with other couples.

 

Well, blessings to all for now.

 

We are RESTING today, which we don't normally get to do until like Wednesday after an Intensive.

 

Catch ya'll on the call tonight, Kathy of Joel and Kathy

[KathyandJoel]

Hi there everyone, [smilie=hi ya!.gif]

 

 

Joel has done it AGAIN :!:

 

He is down to 210.4lbs as of TODAY.

 

Okay, yes, it has been a short bit since I posted any more weight loss, that is because he has, like most people did the ROLLER COASTER thing.

 

We go see CHRIS.....best to blame it on him

 

Well, I can tell you, THIS time, when we went to see Chris, Joel watched himself soooooo much....and even with that still did the roller coaster thing this week, BUT, he was right back on track in a day and all is good. Weight loss, IS a roller coaster thing, BUT, with the right program, like this Metaboliq, it doesn't matter, because it puts you right back on track.

 

If we weren't going to see Chris, it would definitely be easier, because when we go see him, we let him pick the restaurant, and usually its the Chinese all you can eat buffet or this time it was the MEXICAN restauant.....THE CHIPS. ya know, the great chips they bring out with the salsa BEFORE your meal. Just ONE chip will set you back ... Well, almost ONE....Joel did eat, probably.....several.... and it set him back a DAY! That's not to bad.

 

He has and still is progressively losing weight.

 

It's kind of like this journey that we talk about.

 

You are doing great and then there is a "bump" in the road. Okay, you don't fall to pieces or give up and say "it will never work." Nooo, YOU SAY, "OKAY, so, I ate more chips than I should have, gained a pound, but that's okay, I'm right back on track.

 

With this "metaboliq" you are suppose to only be on it for 3 months....it re-trains your metabolism etc....Joel is going to be on it a few extra months.....but that is okay.. He is losing weight.

 

He IS being CONSISTENT, (not perfect) along this journey but CONSISTENTLY going in the right direction...hasn't given up and is determine to get to his 177lb weight loss.

 

We got to go see Chris and enjoyed ourself while we were there. We made Chris more important.

 

All is good

 

Well, Joel and I are headed out the door to go for either a 2 mile or more walk.

 

Eating right, having the right program and EXERCISING is the key.

 

Zig Zigler (well known motivational speaker) said that he used to not like exercising.

 

His idea of losing weight (since he was over 200lbs as a CHOICE (he says choice, because he never ATE anything by accident) [smilie=to funny.gif] [smilie=to funny.gif]

 

Anyways, back to the exercising..

 

His idea of exercising was to fill the TUB, get in, wash up, pull the plug and fight the current. [smilie=to funny.gif] [smilie=to funny.gif]

 

Anyways, alright, GOD IS GOOD!!!

 

AND I am VERY PROUD of my Husband.

 

WOOOO hOOOOO!! ::clap

 

 

Blessings everyone, have a VERY BLESSED DAY.

 

If you are interested in this PRODUCT....please give me a call, I'll be glad to get you in touch with a woman who actually helps us with this product and promoting it, since we are soooooo busy.

 

Lets get an OHM and a Happy Body too.

 

Amen!!

[KathyandJoel]

Hi there AGAIN,

 

We just got back from our WALK....4 miles. ohhhhh my.

 

I am quite sure I will feel it tomorrow....actually, I think I feel it right now.

 

Joel and I both say, "after a nice walk, your suppose to feel "energized, but I (we) feel like taking a nap."

 

Well, more later on his "continued, consistent success with his "METABOLIQ" weight loss.

 

Blessings to all. Time for one of those 5 hour energy drinks....woooo hooo!!
