JUSTIN'S MOTTO

 

MARK TWAIN once wrote: "Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did. So, throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover."

I WANT TO
Explore, Dream and Discover as much as possible in my life here on earth, and I want my Web sites to empower, equip and incite others to do the same.

4 GO GREEN (TEA)!

Catechins, the powerful antioxidants found in green tea, are known to increase metabolism. In a 12-week double-blind study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, participants who consumed 690 milligrams of catechins from green tea daily had significantly lower body-mass indexes and smaller waist measurements than those in the control group.

Californians are Living Large

California has the 36th highest rate of adult obesity at 22.7 percent and the 32nd highest rate of overweight youths (ages 10-17) at 13.2 percent in the nation, according to a new report by Trust for America's Health (TFAH).

Percent of adults who are obese

-- Mississippi 30.6%

-- West Virginia 29.8%

-- Alabama 29.4%

-- Louisiana 28.2%

-- S.C. and Tenn. 27.8%

-- Calif. 22.7%

Fast Calif. facts

  • 23.2 percent of adults in California report that they do not engage in any physical activity. The national average is 22 percent.
  • California is one of 17 states that require their school lunches, breakfasts, and snacks to meet higher nutritional standards than the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) requires.
  • California is one of 22 states that have set nutritional standards for foods sold in vending machines, a la carte, in school stores, or in bake sales in schools, and the state is one of 26 states that limit when and where these foods may be sold on school property beyond federal requirements.
  • California is one of 16 states that screen students' body mass index (BMI) or fitness status and confidentially provide information to parents or guardians.
 

To calculate your body mass index, go HERE.

Are you obese?

The body mass index is a ratio that takes into account height and weight. Here's how the scale runs:

Obese: Body mass greater than 30

Overweight: 25 to 29.9.

Normal weight: 18.5-24.9

Underweight: Less than 18.5

However, people with a large amount of lean muscle mass, such as athletes, can show a large body mass index without having an unhealthy level of fat.

4 Sneaky little slim-down tricks

  • Sometimes a lot of small meals can lead to big weight differences.
  • Along with eating vegetables, experts suggest keeping portion sizes small
  • Another expert's tip? Brush your teeth.

How does it work?

  1. Long Beach LosersEach team member must weigh in each Wednesday, as outlined above. Weigh-in usually takes about 2 minutes, depending on the number of people in line. You do NOT have to weigh-in with your teammates.
  2. Bring your $60/cash entry fee to your first weigh-in.
  3. A participant can only be on one team. A team will consist of exactly five people.
  4. For every pound (or any fraction thereof) gained, as of the previous week's weigh-in, the person must pay $2/cash (i.e. if you gained 1.2 lbs. since the last weigh-in, you'll owe $4).
  5. If your weight stays the same from week to week, you'll owe $2/week. The purpose of the contest is to lose, not stay the same. So, be sure to lose at least a 1/2 pound each week.
  6. Cash prizes are distributed at the end of the competition to the top teams and individual losers based on percentages. (Except for 20% of all funds received that will go to the nonprofit 501c3 Community Action Team (CAT) who administers this contest, all fees collected from team members are distributed to the winning teams and individuals in the end.)

Why will it be successful?

  1. Team effort motivates participants to stay focused on losing weight through diet and exercise.
  2. Cash prizes motivate participants to remain competitive throughout the program.
  3. Team members choose their own diet and exercise program.

Who can join the contest?

  1. Long Beach LosersAny business, civic organization, church, or individual.
  2. Basically, it's $60 for this contest.
  3. Anyone who wants to lose weight (at least 8 lbs.) may participate - youth and adults.
  4. Please form your own 5-person team and you will also compete as an individual.
  5. Event organizers may choose to not allow some folks to be in the contest, if they feel the person does not need to lose weight (i.e. too thin, pregnant).

What are the benefits of the Long Beach Losers program?

  1. Weight loss and regular exercise lead to better health.
  2. Team competition promotes camaraderie, encouragement, accountability and motivation among team members and others.
  3. Healthier people have less medical expenses, which may decrease health insurance premiums.
  4. Weight loss leads to more energy, increased productivity, and higher self esteem.

How do teams register?

  1. Form a team of five people. Any individual may join any team. Those under age 18 are welcome, too, with parental permission. (If you need help finding teammates, post a note at www.facebook.com/LongBeachLosers).
  2. Teammates do NOT have to live in Long Beach.
  3. Choose a unique name (i.e. Defeat De-fat, Inch Busters, Big Butts R Us, Profit & Loss, Diet Divas, Shrinking Assets, Waist Warriors, Jelly Bellys, Honey Buns, Big Daddies).
  4. Teams and individuals will be allowed to join the contest during the month of September 2018 only.
  5. We will share only your teammates' names and email addresses with all your teammates. We may also alert your teammates if you have a balance due, since that will affect the team's standings, if not paid.
  6. We will add your email address to our database, and all correspondance will be via email. We may send a weekly e-newsletter with weekly team results. You can unsubscribe at any time.

What are the rules?

  1. ALWAYS CONSULT YOUR HEALTH CARE PROFESSIONAL BEFORE MAKING ANY SIGNIFICANT CHANGES TO YOUR DIETARY HABITS OR YOUR PHYSICAL ACTIVITY ROUTINES.
  2. No refunds, for any reason (including unexpected surgery, pregnancy, out-of-town work, or death in the family, additions/changes in rules).
  3. Weigh-ins are private and weights are confidential.
  4. All participants will weigh in every Wednesday. There are no alternative weigh-in locations, days or times during the contest.
  5. Missing three weekly weigh-ins in a row will result in disqualification.

  7. T-shirts and shorts are required for weigh-ins. No shoes during the first and final weigh-ins, except for medical reasons.
  8. No measurements will be taken.
  9. Healthy eating and exercise are encouraged.
  10. No weight-loss surgeries during the contest, or within the two weeks prior to the start of the contest.
  11. Drastic weight loss (over 5 lbs./week) is discouraged.
  12. The max. weight loss (recorded) for the final weigh-in is 5 lbs. If the scale reads more than 5 lbs. of loss, we will record only 5 lbs. for your loss. Why? That kind of weight loss per week is not healthy. This will help discourage colonics, extreme sweating, fasting, etc. on the final week's weigh-in.
  13. No sabotaging other teams.
  14. Everyone must weigh in weekly or a $5 fine will be added, per week.
  15. If you miss a weigh-in, your previous week's weight will be recorded for the missed week (i.e. zero weight loss for that week).

  22. We can NOT adjust a woman's weight if she is in her monthly cycle.
  23. It is up to each participant to regularly check his/her email to read email updates from the contest organizers.
  24. Any account conflicts regarding weight or payment should be made to Justin@JustinRudd.com only, and immediately. There is no alternative. Alerting a weigh-in volunteer is not acceptable.
  25. Those who are pregnant are NOT allowed to participate.

    AND:
    ·  I understand that the final results will be based on my last paid up weight and those of my teammates.
    · I understand that once my weight has been recorded, there is no do-over. I must empty my pockets of keys, phones, and other paraphernalia before I get on the scale.
    ·  I understand and agree to pay all of the fees associated with the contest before my final weigh-in.
    ·  I have consulted my doctor or another medical professional before starting a diet and exercise regimen.

    FEES:
    Entry fee: $60
    Weight Gain Penalty: $2/partial lb.
    No Weight Change Penalty: $2/week
    Missed Weigh-In Penalty: $5/week
    Late Arrival Penalty: $4/week
    *Fees are non-refundable and non-transferable.

What if team members drop out?

  1. We don't encourage dropping out. You need all your original team members to remain in the contest and to lose weight in order to have a better chance at winning.
  2. Team members can be replaced only within the first month of the contest.
  3. Team members who have dropped out (and who have not been replaced) may re-join their team (with team approval, and as long as that teammate has not been replaced, and as long as their fines and fees are paid up).
  4. Team members may drop out, and the contestant's last paid-up weigh-in will be reflected in the team's final calculations.
  5. To drop out, you must give written notice by e-mail to Justin@JustinRudd.com.
  6. Team members may drop out, but their weight-loss percentages will be calculated into the team’s totals. Again, it's advantageous to keep teammates on your team and losing weight.
  7. It is the responsibility of the team member to pay all fines each week. All fines and weigh-in fees must be paid on/by the final weigh-in to be considered for prizing.
  8. No refunds or transfers, for any reason (including medical, death, funeral, marriage, job status, pregnancy, work scheduling, etc.).

    The purpose of the fees is to encourage all participants to stay in the contest and focused on the goal of weight loss. 

    All payments should be received by the final weigh-in. If in doubt about your account, email Justin@JustinRudd.com well in advance of the final weigh-in day.

How do you win the contest?

  1. For the prizes, we will present the winning teams' teammates and the overall biggest individual losers. Remember, the overall goal in this contest is for each participant to lose weight over the entire contest period. We feel that the outline/rules below for "how to win" will help to achieve that goal for all involved.
  2. Cash grand prizes will be awarded to the winning teams (divided equally by teammates who complete the contest and who are paid up by their final weigh-in), based on the sum of the individual teammates' weight-loss percentages (initial weigh-in to final weigh-in). It is therefore most beneficial to keep your teammates on your team and losing weight. We expect to offer cash to approx. the top-5 placed teams for this team grand prize.
  3. Cash grand prizes will also be awarded to the biggest individual losers, based on individual weight-loss percentages (initial weigh-in to final weigh-in). We expect to offer cash to approx. the top-5 placed individuals for this individual grand prize.
  4. Prize awards will be given only to the teammates on a team who are still active and paid-up in the contest as of the final weigh-in. Any winning team's teammates who are not active and paid-up in the contest on the last weigh-in date will forfeit his/her share of the prize money. Forfeited money will be donated to the nonprofit 501c3 Community Action Team. It is the responsibility of the contestant to go online and view his/her account and accounting.
  5. Cash grand prizing for teams and for individuals is expected to be approx. 5 deep (i.e. 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th places). The exact number of winning teams and individuals will be made known only at the awards ceremony.
  6. All team winners and individual winners will split the jackpot (amounts and percentages to be determined in the final weeks of the contest).
  7. All cash winners receiving $600 or more must first sign a W-2 form provided by the Community Action Team (CAT) at the awards ceremony before they receive their cash.
  8. All persons registered in the Losers contest (even those on teams) are eligible for the individual loser awards.
  9. It is possible to win a team prize and an individual prize.
  10. Award amounts to be determined by the amount of fees collected into the jackpot over the course of the contest.
  11. These rules and guidelines may be updated and/or changed, as necessary, by Justin Rudd and the Long Beach Losers contest organizers.
  12. Cash prizes are distributed at the end of the competition to the top teams and individual losers based on percentages. (Except for 20% of all funds received that will go to the nonprofit 501c3 Community Action Team (CAT) who administers this contest, all fees collected from team members are distributed to the winning teams and individuals in the end.)

WHO TRAVELED FARTHEST:

My team name is "Four Plus One."  I drive from Riverside to weigh in.  -Regina.

I don't know if my team lives the furthest, but we're doing a weekly commute (for the weigh-in) from El Monte which is 27 miles north of Long Beach. From MapQuest this was the estimated time and distance it showed from my house to the front of Runner's High!  Estimated Time: 35 minutes Estimated Distance: 27.03 miles  - Spencer

I'm a grandfather in my mid-70s who drives in from Corona del Mar to weigh in. I'm on the same team with my son and grand-daughter who talked me into this great idea.  I've already lost 8 pounds -- mostly from my having to wander up and down 2nd Street each weigh-in day trying to find the weigh-in point. (I keep forgetting it).  It's a wonderful program.  Thank you and and Go Team! (My kids told me the name but I keep forgetting it).  -Duke

Good Morning Justin, My wife & I leave in Los Angles. Crenshaw District.  -Isaac & Regina, "Lunch Meat"

I travel about 20 miles one way.  I live in L.A. right next to Cal State L.A.  -Claudia, "Weight Loss Divas"

My wife & I live on the border of El Segundo & Hawthorne about 20 miles away. I work down there in Long Beach.  -Doug

I weigh in the eve. I drive from work Glendale, CA and then go home to Downey. I start work before Runner’s High opens. Hey, but it is just an added motivator.  If I have to drive Glendale to Belmont Shore I better have lost weight. -Sylvia

I work in Long Beach but live in Westchester - near LAX. - Sonya

 

g Despite the proliferation of materials and education about losing weight, Americans are getting fatter than ever.

Weight-loss facts and myths


weight loss man womanQ: The best rate of weight loss is no more than 1.5 pounds per week.

A: Fact. Any faster and you are not actually losing fat weight, but rather lean muscle tissue and water weight. Realistically, there is no quicker or safer way to lose fat weight! Remember, you didn't’t gain it overnight!

Q: Fasting or skipping meals regularly is a great way to cleanse the system of impurities and encourage weight loss.

A: Fiction. Your body needs a certain amount of calories and nutrients each day for normal function. Denying the body of these essential elements throws the system into survival mode, slowing the metabolism and encouraging the storage of energy in the form of fat. You have to eat in order to lose weight.

Q: Eating brown rice is a healthier alternative to white rice.

A: Fiction. Although it is slightly better, the body still considers all rice as a quick source of energy but processes it as a sugar. It becomes glucose, then fat! Rule of thumb: 1 cup of rice = 1 cup of sugar!

Q: The low-fat and no-fat products contain fewer calories.

A: Fiction. Fruits and vegetables are naturally low in fat and calories. BUT, most pre-packaged foods that boast "low-fat" or "no-fat" often are often very high in calories because of the ingredients added to increase flavor and consistency. Purchasing these products is not a license to eat them in unlimited quantities. Read labels for serving sizes and nutritional information.

Q: Reducing calories is the ultimate key to weight loss.

A: Fact! We must expend more calories than we consume in order to lose weight. There is just no getting around it! It really sounds too simple doesn't’t it? Instead of making the conscious effort to make everything we eat count nutritionally, we tend to waste a lot of calories on things that don’t promote health.

Q: Nuts are a healthful and beneficial snack.

A: Fact! Although they are higher in calories and fat, they are a good source of protein and fiber and have no cholesterol. Additionally, the fat in cashews, macadamia, hazelnuts, almonds and pecans is the good monounsaturated variety that our bodies need for certain functions. Eat in moderation!

Q: Eating certain types of foods, like acidic grapefruits or very spicy foods every day, will speed up metabolism and burn fat.

A: Fiction. No food will burn fat. Some foods contain properties that may temporarily speed up metabolism, but not enough to cause weight loss.

Q: Protein bars are a terrific high-protein meal substitute.

A: Fiction! Many protein bars on the market are just candy bars in disguise. They are a highly processed. Many contain unhealthy oils, which have been shown to increase cholesterol, and inferior proteins.
