After 7 weeks on the medically assisted weightless program JumpStart medicine with Dr. Sean Bourke, I have lost 47 pounds in 52 days. This week I lost 0.6 pounds and achieved only 11.1% of my weekly goal. I highly recommed Jumpstart. I have a special offer for anyone in wanting to try Jumpstart in Redwood City or Mountain View: $25 off your first visit (just print it and bring it to your appointment).

My teammate passed the ball to the setter and I was backing up to position for the approach for the spike... When I changed directions (not even a very athletic move) there was loud pop and I thought who just throw a rock at the ground at my foot.

And I ate a little too much the night before the weigh-in and I did not exercise for the remainder of the week after the incident at volleyball...
I am sticking to the diet, but I am reducing my expectations (4.8 pound goal for next week aka end at the same goal weight as last week) given that I will not be able to work out at the same intensity...
So with less chance to work out my new plan is to continue to stick to the diet and to look for opportunities to work out... Given that I am currently non weight bearing and on crutches I am hoping that crutches alone will be good exercise....
