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 […]

Dieting becomes exponentially more challenging when on vacation. Last weekend, I attended a camping trip in celebration of my brother’s upcoming wedding. Food options were limited to burgers, hot dogs, and chips. I tried to bring ingredients to make veggie sandwiches, but that was way too much work for such a laid-back event. On the […]

As I have mentioned previously, I am a long time athlete, not in that fitness buff kind of way, but in the sense that there hasn’t been a day gone by that I don’t participate in some kind of sport. As a teen, I played every sport imaginable and I still continue to ‘dabble’ from […]

Well I am down four pounds this week which is not bad. Actually pretty good. I would even have been happy if it were just a pound because it is so difficult for the weight to come off so this is a major blessing. I will be ecstatic when I am beyond 342 pounds because […]

Woo Hoo! I feel back in the groove. After having a one pound weight loss last week, I lost two and half pounds this week! I am almost to my ten pound weight loss for the month and I’m feeling fantastic. This week I really tried to get back to basics. I stuck with my 5 […]

Weekly Update: Yeah me! Weekly Weight Loss: 2.5 lbs Inches Lost:  Chest:  2”;  Waist:  ¼” ; Hips: 0;  Arms: 0; Thighs- 1 ½” My biggest challenge this week? Muffling the quitter’s voice in my head. Thursday morning the voice won. I didn’t go work out but chose to sleep in instead. The funny thing is that […]

For me, going on a full carb-less diet is like telling a mouse to quit cheese cold Colby — it’s just not gonna happen for this guy. But I am cutting back on the carbs in any way possible. And that includes attempting… DUN DUN DUNNNNNN… trying out the lettuce wrap. Here’s the thing: I […]

Well it came sooner than I expected, but this week I hit the Dreaded Plateau of very little weight loss. In fact, I only lost 1 measly pound ( I am at 260 even). I really wanted to break under the 260 mark but not this week. I was religious with my routine of workouts […]

This week hasn’t gone so well. Last week I managed to lose 5 lbs with a gun-shot start but this week is a total slump. I managed to lose, but the way I feel isn’t in line. It sneaks up on you. Like a shark circling it’s weight loss goal with fervor but then realizing […]

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. […]
