Hello, my name is Nathanael Mulder and I’m here to lose weight. It really shouldn’t take the new year to give me a reason to decide to lead a healthier lifestyle, but I guess any motivation is better than none at all. But that’s not my only motivation. Really it all stems down to just wanting to get back to the shape I used to be in, all those years ago in high school. Back then I was 5′9″ and around 150lbs, running cross country and 1 & 2 mile races for my high school. Over the years I’ve managed to gain over 110 pounds, weighing in on New Year’s Day at 262 pounds. What’s worse is that I’ve tried and succeeded in losing weight in the past, and it felt great. But my huge appetite took over in the end and all that weight came back, with some friends it turns out. But now it’s a new decade and a new start on the weight loss, and I’m determined to lose it and keep it off. With my roommate, who’s a personal trainer and Designer Whey user himself, pushing me and helping me with my workouts, diets, and determination I am truly confident that I’m going to succeed.
So here’s my plan, and here are my goals:
1) I want to reduce my weight down to 175 pounds. That’s a reduction of 87 pounds. I know it’s possible, I just have to keep at it, no matter what happens. This is really all I’m going for. With the weight reduction will come more energy and a better lifestyle, being able to breathe easier, and fitting into the clothes I own and into newer styles of clothes (with the new trends towards skinny this and skinny that, it’s getting harder and harder to find decent clothes these days).
2) Get into well-enough shape to run a marathon. I don’t want to run a marathon because I want to run a marathon, I just want to be in shape enough to BE ABLE to run a marathon. That’s almost 3 hours (or much, much longer if I don’t run very fast) of constant running, and that would hurt. But to be able to do it, that’s what I want.
–And this is what I’m looking at to help me:
1) Working out several times a week. At least 3-4 times a week. A mixture of running and other cardio workouts, weight-lifting, and basic core workouts like sit-ups and push-ups. Nothing too fancy or over-the-top. Just basic and focused. It’s worked for me before, and it’s going to work again.
2) Watching what (and more importantly how much) I eat. For the last several years I’ve been eating almost exclusively fast food. And although it’s not too terrible to have a burger once in a while, it’s probably not a great idea to have 3 Ultimate Breakfast Sandwiches for breakfast, 2 Ultimate Bacon Cheeseburgers (with large fries and large soda) for lunch, and likewise for dinner everyday. If I eat healthier, and smaller portions, and use Designer Whey proteins after a workout and in between meals to curb my appetite, then I’m destined to lose weight and then definitely keep it off. On top of that, I do love to drink water, so by drinking a lot more water and Designer Whey Protein Water, I think that will help also.
So, this is where I’m sitting in my life. I’m overweight and out of shape, and its difficult to tie my shoes. Here’s to a new decade and a new me. Hope to see you along the Whey.

1. When your trainer can’t remember if it’s an arm or leg day.
I will rate according to my tastes. In 4th place is the Orange Mango… I thought too intense orange taste. Maybe like the taste of baby aspirin or very strong tang. Which I am not so fond of. But for you, you may love it. Probably those of us over 40 can not handle such intense flavor. To me, it was OK but not my favorite flavor of the protein water. In 3rd place is the Cranapple…the only reason it’s not my favorite is I am not an apple juice person. I do enjoy cranberry so for me it was tolerable. In 2nd place is the Pomegranate flavored Protein Water…I very much enjoyed the light fruitful flavor. Camille’s #1 pick is the Blue Raspberry… to me it is perfect! Light, yet flavorful, not too sweet and is very refreshing. My only problem is my 16 year old daughter DRANK all of my Blue Raspberry and Pomegranate Protein Water! UGH! I went to take a bottle with me to work and ALL GONE! Luckily, I found some at our local grocery store.
