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 [...]
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 [...]

Last week I confessed about not having been eating properly. I haven’t weighed myself in a very long time. I finally weighed myself today, it was not a pretty sight. I’m extremely disappointed with the number I saw on the scale. I clocked in at 320 lbs. That sucks! Big time. I gained back over [...]
Okay, I need to tell you guys a secret I have been holding dear to my stomach. Ready? Yes? Okay, here goes. For the last few weeks I have been out of control with my eating. I’ve been cheating on my eating. I haven’t been pigging out, but I just haven’t been making the right [...]
It’s been a while since I posted a video blog. In this weeks version I go over the special “ad reports” that are found within health and fitness magazines. These fake articles trick you into thinking they are articles only to shove a product down your throat as you find yourself enjoying what you read. [...]
I have decided to test my inner strength by undergoing a grueling fasting diet. I won’t be eating anything and will only be drinking water and possibly green tea. I will however take a multi vitamin each morning. This isn’t something I am used to so it should prove to be a challenge. Why am [...]
A few weeks ago I finally tasted Fiji Water for the first time. It did not blow me away to say the least. I was bored after recording the video blog and decided to let loose. The following video is a result of that. RSS readers click here for the video. Disclaimer: This video is [...]
I finally decided to record a live taste testing of the much acclaimed Fiji bottled water brand. Before this water tasting, I have never tasted Fiji water. I still think that Fiji bottled water is extremely over priced. It’s all recorded for your viewing pleasure, plus my verdict. Watch the video below. Enjoy.
I generally dislike traveling via airplane. Sitting in the same position for too long isn’t something I enjoy. I also don’t like uncomfortably sitting in a seat that’s made for someone half my size. I don’t know if it’s me, but are airplane seats shrinking? It seems like every time I take a new flight [...]
It has been a busy week thus far and it’s only going to get busier. This week I launched Health Ranker, the new health 2.0, social media health site. It has been positively received so far and I can only see it getting better. In this weeks video blog I start off mentioning Health Ranker [...]
More often than not, weight loss competitions are successful. When ever I have participated in a weight loss challenge I have lost weight. This may not apply to everyone though. It takes determination and a desire to compete. A great thing about weight loss competitions is that every one wins. There may be one overall [...]
Time flies when you are busy and this past week was no exception. I can’t believe it’s already time for another vlog. This is the second video blog so far, so bear with me as I get better at this. I try to keep it realistic, even if it means appearing unorganized. Oh well, that’s [...]
Vlogging, or posting a video blog, is something I have been wanting to do for quite some time. I can now say that I finally did it. I sat down after a quick workout and recorded my very first vlog. It was spontaneous and fun to do. I plan on sticking to a weekly vlog, [...]

Car pushing can help build muscle and strength in ways you never would have imagined. I first came across car pushing and pulling while watching The World’s Strongest Man competition on ESPN as a kid. It can help train your body in ways that conventional weights, exercises, and machines can’t. It’s also a great total [...]
Okay ladies this is a once in a lifetime opportunity to enter the mind of us men. I am going to bring you into the world and inner most desires of the male brain. It has long been accepted that women are the complicated species. But in actuality men can be seen as so simple [...]
Every guy has a list. We as men have an inherit obsession with lists. We are programmed to respect the priority and organization that the all Holy List provides. Moses introduced all brethren of the world to the original and ultimate list when he returned from Mt. Sinai with the Ten Commandments. One of the [...]
In today’s world on online advertising, Google has become like McDonalds. Around every corner there’s an unholy blue “G” staring you down. They have controlled and dominated advertising online for years and will continue to do so for a long time. However, Google has let a lot of us down time after time. We have [...]
Today I finally performed an early morning workout. Not my typical morning cardio only session, but instead a strength training session. I was up at 6 AM and it was still dark outside. Not only was it dark but it was pretty damn cold too. My initial reaction was to go back to bed, especially [...]
Unlike the last weight loss challenge in which I blew my competition away, this one is between a group of us. A few days ago John from Total Transformation put out a challenge. I don’t back down easily so I accepted. The objective is pretty simple: lose the most body fat. As of this post [...]
I am so glad that I can workout again. I haven’t been able to lift any weights since my appendix surgery in December. I wanted to and felt I could, but my doctor told me to lay off until January. Well, it’s January dammit and I’m back with a vengeance! There is nothing like lifting [...]
When I first began writing about my weight loss journey this past May, I wasn’t expecting to have compiled such an enormous list of blogs that I actually read on a daily basis. That being said, I have decided to make the last post of the year a tribute post. A tribute to all of [...]
First off, Merry Christmas to all those who celebrate it. I know I do. We opened presents this morning and I am the lucky recipient of an autographed Chad Pennington, New York Jets football jersey. Here’s to hoping he remains on the Jets next year. The only time I can recall exercising during Christmas is [...]
I woke up this morning with an sense of urgency. A sense of urgency to get up and get some cardio in before I started my day. I accomplished that mini goal by hopping on my recumbent bike for an hour. I was proud of myself for managing to get another cardio session in first [...]
If you are an overweight fatty, then you know how the following scenarios feel. Below are 10 places that it sucks being a fatty (thanks for starting this and giving me the inspiration Amy). 1. Any Kind of Dressing Room Having to try on all those huge size clothes, one after another can get quite [...]
