Name: Mark D. Rucker
Age: 43
Height: 6'2"
Before Weight: 365 pounds. I was probably heavier than that, but I stopped weighing myself.

How I Gained It: I've been overweight most of my life. I gradually put on more after I graduated from law school, until maxing out in February of 2011. I was not engaged in any form of physical activity and I ate anything I felt like eating, at pretty much any time. I drank a lot of soda and ate fast food frequently. I loved pizza, wings, cheeseburgers and beer.

Breaking Point: I had high blood pressure, sleep apnea and was borderline diabetic; I woke up the day after the Super Bowl in February 2011 and realized that I needed to change my life.

How I Lost It: The first thing that I did was to cut out sugary soft drinks. I switched to diet soda, but limited myself to one a day. I also determined that once the 24-pack ran out, I was going to be done with soda. I also decided to cut out all processed sugars and carbs to allow my body the time to process out the bad stuff that I had been putting in for so long. Instead of processed foods, I started eating whole fruits and vegetables. And it worked! I started losing weight.

After a week I made some more changes. I cut out salad dressings and switched to raw almonds instead of roasted and salted. I had tried in the past to lose weight, but I always tried to change everything at the same time. After two to three weeks I'd go back to my old ways. I found I was having more success sticking with small changes, and I continued to lose weight.

In March I decided that I wanted to start exercising. So I started walking -- just a mile at first. I was very slow and it was difficult for me, but I stuck to it. I walked at work on my lunch break. Over a few weeks I noticed that I felt much better than I had felt in a long time.

In April I decided I wanted to be a runner. I started using the Couch to 5K app from Bluefin Software on my iPhone. I remember the first day like it was yesterday. I had to run nine intervals of 60 seconds with 90 seconds of walking in between. I thought that I was going to die. But I stuck with it and ran my first 5K on July 4. Then I used Bridge to 10K and trained for my first 10K, which I completed on July 30. I also started biking; I love to ride. I joined the local cycling club so I could have others to ride with. I was intimidated at first, but the people in the club were so encouraging.

After my 10K, I decided that I wanted to run a half-marathon, so I began training using another app from the same company. On October 23, I ran my first half-marathon in 2:42. I was thrilled. I have now moved on to marathon training. I am days away from my first marathon; the big day is February 18, when I will push myself above and beyond everything that I've ever imagined possible. I plan to complete a half-Ironman in July and my first full one in August. I can hardly wait.

My ultimate goal has always been to get healthy so I can live a long life and set a positive example for my kids. But I also hope to inspire other people who feel like they are stuck being overweight. I want them to know that they aren't. I was probably the world's biggest couch potato. But if I can change my life, I know that anyone can. Sometimes it just takes a little spark of inspiration from someone to light that fire.

After Weight: 265 pounds. I still want to lose about 60 more, and I know that I'll make it.

Documents show that one month later, he was off all meds because diabetes, cholesterol and blood pressure were normal with no meds.

DENVER, CO--(Marketwire -01/31/12)- "Hey, do you have a brother who works here?" - It's a question that Andrew Casper, an employee of HealthONE in Denver, is hearing in the hallways at work often these days. Overweight for all of his adult life, 56-year-old Andrew has recently lost more than 40 pounds through HealthONE's incentaHEALTH wellness program -- and is now nearly unrecognizable to his colleagues.

Having previously tried countless fad diets and weight loss plans, incentaHEALTH's fully rounded wellness plan was the thing that finally clicked for Andrew -- guiding him to refocus his energy into making a complete lifestyle change. No longer could he sit on the couch watching TV all afternoon on the weekends -- downing bags of chips while cheering on his favorite teams. Instead, Andrew now rises at 5:30 a.m. every day, logging in a morning workout on the elliptical machine. In the evenings after working a full day as a Senior Telecom Engineer at HealthONE, Andrew unwinds by hopping on his bike and pedaling out to enjoy Denver's picturesque vistas.

A family history of heart disease and obesity had always weighed heavily on his mind, and incentaHEALTH has given Andrew the tools he needed to avoid the same fate as his father, who passed at the age of 58. incentaHEALTH is an employee wellness program emphasizing lifestyle changes that lead to life-long healthy weight. Participants have access to an online fitness guide, daily email or SMS text message coaching, communication with a personal trainer, an online success journal, and visual progress reports. Employee participants can earn cash rewards for both successful weight loss and maintaining a healthy weight. incentaHEALTH blends the science of behavior change with wellness incentive technology to provide a solution for obesity and rising healthcare costs.

"This truly is a case of 'If I can do it, anyone can do it'," commented Andrew. "In fact, I've challenged everyone in the office to join me in my quest to overhaul my lifestyle, improve my health and reach and maintain my goal weight. It's free for employees -- and incentaHEALTH actually pays us to lose weight!"

Andrew's employer, HealthONE, is one of Denver's largest employers and the largest healthcare system in the metro Denver area. HealthONE recently launched a new employee wellness program from incentaHEALTH. Andrew is one of 3,000 HealthONE employees that have signed up for the new program, and his results are attracting attention.

"My co-workers are constantly telling me that I am an inspiration to them," notes Andrew. "The incentaHEALTH program has truly been life-changing for me, since I started the program in August 2011; they have been there for me every step of the way -- with guidance on everything from what to choose for lunch to which exercise equipment would benefit me the most. I didn't want to become another statistic -- I want to be able to have a healthy retirement where I can enjoy all of the things I have worked so hard for. incentaHEALTH and HealthONE have made this possible for me."

HealthONE employees have access to eight incentaHEALTH patented kiosks across the Denver metro area, making it easy and convenient for them to chart their progress and stay on task. These kiosks, located in HealthONE hospitals, privately weigh and photograph each employee in under 60 seconds. This allows participants to view a visual progress report -- actually seeing their transformation over time as they improve their health serves as a big motivator, and helps keep them on track. HealthONE's incentaHEALTH program has been enthusiastically received by employees -- in the first few weeks since the kick-off, over 3,000 employees and their dependents are using the program.

Andrew is looking forward to his daughter's wedding next month, where he hopes to do what his weight prohibited him from doing at his first daughter's wedding -- put his arms around her during the father/daughter dance. He will hang a new photo of this special moment next to the old one that has hung on his refrigerator since the first wedding -- to serve as a visual reminder of just how far he's come.

BEACHWOOD, Ohio, Jan. 31, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- DDR Corp. (NYSE: DDR - News) announced today that it has closed $353 million of new long-term financings, comprised of a $250 million unsecured term loan ("Term Loan") and a $103 million mortgage loan ("Mortgage Loan"). These financings address the majority of the company's 2012 consolidated debt maturities and improve debt duration, which further reduces the company's risk profile.

(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20110912/CL65938LOGO )

Proceeds from the Term Loan will be used to retire $184 million of convertible notes maturing in March 2012, reduce the outstanding balances under the Company's revolving credit facilities, and for general corporate purposes. DDR's remaining 2012 consolidated unsecured debt maturities consist of $223 million of unsecured notes that mature in October 2012, and the company has no other unsecured maturities in the next three years. Upon funding of the recently closed transactions, DDR will have nearly full availability on its revolving credit facilities, which have a final maturity in 2016.

Pricing on the Term Loan is set at LIBOR plus a margin that is determined based upon DDR's long-term unsecured debt ratings. The Term Loan consists of a $200 million tranche that initially bears interest at an annual rate of LIBOR plus 210 basis points and matures on January 31, 2019; and a $50 million tranche that initially bears interest at an annual rate of LIBOR plus 170 basis points and matures on January 31, 2017. DDR has entered into interest rate swap contracts which will fix LIBOR on the $200 million tranche. Based on the Company's current credit rating, that will result in a total rate of 3.64% for the $200 million tranche.

Wells Fargo Securities, LLC and PNC Capital Markets, LLC acted as joint lead arrangers for the Term Loan; with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association as Administration Agent and PNC Bank, National Association as Syndication Agent. Capital One served as Documentation Agent. Regions Bank, RBS Citizens, First Tennessee, Goldman Sachs and Citigroup also participated in the Term Loan.

The Mortgage Loan is a $103 million seven-year loan with Principal Real Estate Investors LLC and is secured by three prime shopping centers located in Atlanta, Georgia; Princeton, New Jersey; and San Antonio, Texas. Interest is fixed for the term at 3.4% and the loan proceeds will be used to pre-fund all of the Company's consolidated 2012 mortgage maturities.

"We are pleased to announce these new long-term loans that, combined with our recent equity issuance, address most of our 2012 maturities in the first month of the year. The attractive interest rate and duration further our goals of lowering our corporate risk profile and long-term cost of capital," said David J. Oakes, chief financial officer of DDR. "We very much appreciate the support of our lender group in closing these significant transactions as we capitalize on the favorable access to capital and pricing available to us."

And the best kind of weight loss program 'today' is one that focuses on how to burn fat faster with less effort but with right information.So you to work smarter to lose weight fast then to work harder in order to lose weight fast. Top 5 easiest ways to lose weight fast. 1.Drink Mainly Water A sports or energy drink, fruit smoothie, or light beer — each serving contains about 100 calories. Yet these beverages don't satisfy you the way 100 calories of food does, so they're a waste. Water, on the other hand, has zero calories and carbs and little to no sodium, making it the perfect slim-down drink. 2.Ban White Bread and Pasta Cutting out all white grain products — such as white rice, spaghetti, sandwich rolls — will instantly slim you down because the simple carbs in these foods cause bloating, especially around your belly To go a step further, instead of replacing them with healthier yet still bloat-triggering whole-grain bread products, substitute vegetables for the week. This way, a chicken sandwich becomes chicken salad, and chips and dip turn into carrots and dip. The complex carbs from vegetables are digested more slowly, so you remain full longer. And because veggies are mostly water, they also help flush out excess water weight. 3.Do Cardio 30 Minutes a Day Any workout that gets your heart rate up will burn calories.
