Week 2 Result

How about 267 pounds? Looks good to me.

It's refreshing to see results for the work so far. I know I've been feeling better, so it's good to get the combo.

I find that I check the nutritional information of everything now. Sometimes when I'm buying groceries, I'll pick up random items just to see their nutritional value. Or lack there of. Did you know that one Jelly Filled doughnut only has 96 calories? Did I mention that was for 1 ounce?

Health advice from a fat guy this week: Eating something filled with sugar after you've been sugarless for 2 weeks makes the sugar stick to the back of your throat.

Week 1 Result

Drum roll please.........270lbs! Yes! I didn't gain a pound.

Oh, that's right, the goal isn't to stop gaining, it's to start losing weight.

As first week's in life changes often go, you certainly don't reach all of your goals. But I feel like I'm in prime position mentally and physically to keep this motor going and lose some of my baggage.

Health advice from a fat guy this week: Even you can cut down on deserts.

Until next week!

It's Time

This year I turned 32, but honestly I feel much older. And when I recently wore myself out wrestling with my boys, I decided I needed to lose 50 pounds to get back to who I am. To me.

Why am I going public with this? I've tried losing weight before quietly, hoping people notice I'm losing weight. I've even shared my diets with close friends before, only to laugh it off once I was tired of missing what I love. You see, I love food. I enjoy cooking and enjoy tasting even more.

So here I am, all 270 pounds of me, needing to change my habits for the better. I'm going to lose 50 pounds. And if that's not enough, I'll lose more. But let's not get ahead of ourselves.

This used to be me:


This is me now:



I don't really want to look like I did when I was 19. I'm a man now. I'm just a man with chubby cheeks and a belly.

Each Monday I'll weigh myself and report my results here for all eyes to see (all 4 of you). Without revealing the details of my plan, know that I'll be watching carefully what I eat and throwing in some exercise here and there.

If you've made it this far in the post, thanks for reading and wish me luck!
