Scott Week 10: The Candy Bar
It’s been an interesting week for me, to be sure. Last week I felt extra motivated and that did not change this week. It was solid, I feel, though I did have one pretty good cheat night which we’ll get to later on. Last week I was telling you about the gym routine and how […]
Scott Week 9: Overdrive
This past week has been a flurry of activity for me. Not a day went by when I didn’t have something to do in the evening. I’m a social creature by nature. I enjoy seeing my friends and attending events and everything in between, but when you are trying to lose weight it makes it […]
Scott Week 8: Not Feeling So Fat Today
Hello again! Last week I lamented a bit about how these posts tend to blend together and sound like the same broken record over and over and over again. Not today, kids. Today will be a delightful post full of fresh and new things. Okay, maybe not entirely fresh or completely new, but it has […]
Scott Week 7: Back To Basics
I remember hitting the wall like it was yesterday. It was right in the middle of my quest to lose weight in 2011, and I was stuck between 295 and 290. No matter what I did, no matter what I tried, I just couldn’t break that barrier. I tried adjusting my diet, working out more, […]
Scott Week 6: What? Week Six?
It’s amazing how time flies when you’re writing a weekly column. It seems like every seven days you’re back at your computer, explaining yourself and your choices to the world. Personally, I have come to rely on this for a number of reasons. As I’ve stated many times in the past, the accountability is key […]
Scott Week 5: Little By Little
That’s how I look as of today, the start of Week Five of this journey. I’m a simple pound lighter than I was the last time I checked in, so little by little I’m making progress. Before I get too deep into this, I want to take a moment to address the whole “camera phone […]
Scott Week 4: Back On Track
After last week’s emo fat post I resolved myself to put in the extra effort this week to make sure this wouldn’t be another check in that sounds like I want to slit my wrists. I have re-read last week’s post more than once since then and it all rings true, even now. I knew […]
Scott Week 3: Feeling Kind Of Fat Today
You see this guy? That was me a year and a half ago. 375 pounds of big squishy man. That was before I started the year-long weight loss challenge in 2011 and dropped over 100 pounds of it. The result was a slightly less squishy man, and certainly a healthier one. Fast forward to today. […]
Scott Week 2: A Good First Step On A Long Journey
When I awoke this morning I felt anxious, knowing full well that I needed to weigh myself and check in with all of you good people. It was a good feeling, though, because I actually kind of missed that excitement after doing it every week in 2011. What would I weigh? Did I lose anything? […]
Scott Week 1: Getting Back In The Game
At the end of 2010 I was brought in to write for a site started by some close friends of mine. I wrote as “Big Skeezy” and we started creating posts entitled “The Big Skeezy Challenge”. The challenges were all absolutely terrible. The first was to see whether or not I could eat fifty boneless […]
