Reflecting on the Week
I was mad surprised to be 305 lbs this morning. I had to double, triple, and quadruple check. 7 lbs in a week when I haven’t even been working out due to my injury… AWESOME! That puts me at half my goal for the month already. I don’t expect a big week [...]
Reflecting on the Week
This is a little late, as I weighed in on Thursday but I got a bit caught up with some other projects I am working on. What can I say? 2.8 lbs! That’s what. It’s a great loss considering the week I had last week. All in all it was a good [...]
In this ground breaking, earth shattering, myth busting, conventional wisdom destroying video interview I was fortunate enough to sit down with someone that has great insight into the health, fitness, and exercise world as we know it. The following is a video interview I conducted about two weeks ago. The most interesting comment is that [...]
Reflecting on the Week
Another week and another positive weight loss experience. AWESOME! This time I lost 3.6 lbs. That’s perfectly in line with my monthly goal of 15 to 20 lbs. So far this month I have lost a little over 12 lbs. This past week was a weird one. Why? Well, because I felt [...]
Up for grabs is my Nautilus squat/bench/pulldown machine combo rack. I don’t really know the name of it, but it’s made by Nautilus. Ever since my wife bought me a power rack, I have not utilized the Nautilus. I’ve tried selling it on craigslist and giving it away to family, but no one comes to [...]
First Time Ever, Major Milestone
I managed to stay on the treadmill at a good pace for 60 minutes last night. That is a first in my lifetime. I have always wanted to say that I could jog, or run, for a full hour. Now I can. I knew I could get it if I pushed [...]
Reflecting on the Week
Another week down and another few pounds lost. This week I lost 2.9 lbs, which puts me at 318.4 lbs. I’ll take that, as long as I have a loss and continue to feel great I can stay motivated. Last week I was feeling a bit sluggish, but now I am rocking [...]
I came to the realization that my body just simply can not keep up with my mind. I am mentally focused and want to crank out more, but my body can’t produce the results I want them to. I know it’s only temporary, but I can’t stand it!!! Today I took a step in the [...]
I’m really feeling in the zone lately. That’s a good thing. Scratch that…it’s a GREAT thing. I feel good mentally and you can’t top that, not at this stage of things at least. I’ve been maintaining my workouts and mixing things up which should keep my body guessing. Eating wise, I have been a freaking [...]
Reflecting on the Week
Last week, on January 1st I weighed in at 327.4 lbs. That was a huge slap to my ego, but it woke me up. Just a few months ago I was at the lowest weight I had been in years. But then something snapped in me and I stopped watching what I [...]
First off, Happy New Year every one! It’s been a good start to the year, except for the fact that I couldn’t post or even load the site for the past 2 to 3 weeks. That should be behind us from now on.
I have some cool things planned for 2009, the best of which is [...]
Okay. So, I’m super excited to try Crossfit for the first time. I do some Googling and come up with a few Crossfit results here in Tampa, FL. One of which is Crossfit Tampa. I contact the guy and he gets back to me so that I can take my first class last Tuesday. I [...]
For the last few days I have been looking into trying some new group workouts. Working out with other people motivates me. Maybe it’s the football, military background…
I came across CrossFit, which seems to really kick peoples ass. There are a couple of CrossFit affiliates in the Tampa area that I have contacted, making [...]
As you may already know, it’s Thanksgiving today in the USA. For some it’s a time to share thanks with your friends and family, for some it’s a time to enjoy each others company, but for some like me, it’s a time to eat and then eat some more.
I love eating. That is why I’ve [...]
So, you need to lose a few pounds, eh? Well don’t we all, luckily managing that extra something on your stomach doesn’t have to be too much trouble by following a few careful but important steps.
No more late eating. Seriously. Try to keep yourself from consuming foods or sweats past 9 p.m. or four hours [...]
I was asked to make a video explaining what motivated me to start blogging about my health. It’s pretty simple really so I grabbed the video camera and made a quick video to blog it up. Enjoy! What motivates you?

I’m not a huge baseball fan, but I am a big sports/competition fan. So no matter what sport it is, when playoff time comes I become an instant fan of that sport. I was fortunate enough to attend game 3 of the American League Championship Series (ALCS) in Tampa Bay where the Tampa Bay Rays [...]
A couple of weeks ago I went to a doctor to get my first full physical in 8 years. I’ve always felt pretty healthy, fat and all. But I’ve secretly been really scared of being diagnosed with diabetes, especially since a few of my family members have it. The results are in!
After waiting for my [...]
I recently wrote about how my wife kicked my butt in a some sprints. I guess it runs in the family because my 3 year old daughter out did me too. Ugh, I don’t know if I should be embarrassed or proud. What the heck, I’m gonna go with being proud.
I had just finished a [...]
I am officially done weighing-in on a weekly basis. After last Monday’s disappointing weigh-in where I only lost 1 lb, I have decided to stop focusing on the scale. Not reaching my goal of being under 300 lbs on Monday hit me real hard. I had been expecting to reach that milestone and when I [...]
Yes folks, I am extremely disappointed. Today is a sad day in the Fat Man Unleashed household. I am semi-depressed actually. I weighed-in today at 301 lbs…
That’s right. Only 301 lbs. That means I only lost 1.3 lbs. last week. While losing any amount is good, I was really hoping to break the 300 mark [...]
Well, today was that time…weekly weigh-in time. I had missed last weeks weigh-in and was eager to find out my weight this week. I had been thinking about this for a whole two weeks and am glad it’s over, if at least for a week. Unfortunately, I did not break the 300 lb mark, but [...]
I totally forgot that I had to weigh-in Monday morning. I’m used to my weekly weigh-ins being on Wednesdays, so when I woke up this morning I went about my business. I finally remembered halfway through the day and decided that it would be best to just skip this week. I don’t want to mess [...]
It’s that time again! Yep, my official weekly weigh-in. Guess what folks? I lost 7.2 lbs since my last official weigh-in. At that time I clocked in at 314 lbs, this morning I was at 306.8 lbs. I finally passed my goal of 5 lbs. lost. I am on track to be under 300 lbs [...]
As promised, here is an update of my 30 day Cleanse program. I just started this recently and have some pretty good results. In 3 days I have lost 3 lbs. That’s a lot of weight to lose in 3 days. Aside from that, I have lost a total of 3.5 inches from my waist. [...]
I was contacted by someone I respect with the idea of cleansing my system to help with my some stubborn weight loss. Over the last month I have lost 6 lbs since getting back on track with my eating. After a month of doing some digging into the product, I decided to go ahead and [...]
Consistent weight loss is where it’s at. For me at least. As long as I keep seeing that scale drop on a weekly basis, I am satisfied. Now, I only lost one pound which is 4 off of my 5 pound goal for the week, but I will take it and run. That makes me [...]
Uh, uh, uh. And another pound bites the dust. And another pound bites, and another pound bites, and another pound bites the duuuust. I’ve lost another pound since getting back on track with my eating. A pound is a pound. Like my high school football coach used to say, “A win is a win.” I [...]
Awwww yeah boyeeee! Lost another 2 lbs this week. I will take that any day. I knew I was going to have a loss this week because I had been busting my butt in the gym and in the kitchen. Well, let me rephrase that: I wasn’t doing the cooking, but I was making healthier [...]
Yeah, that’s right. I lost two pounds this week. Take that flabby sides and belly! It doesn’t sound like much weight lost, but I will take a loss any day. Last week was a bit of a shocker when I realized I gained back a significant amount of weight.
This week is a huge relief [...]
