I’m Not The Only Thing Getting In Shape

I’m Not The Only Thing Getting In Shape

I have decided to get a professional blog redesign. I have been meaning to do so for a while now. When I first started the blog I wasn’t happy with the overall look of it, but I didn’t have the know how to redo it myself. That lead me into making the brain/muscle logo and [...]

Don’t Ignore the Man Boobs on My Chest

Don’t Ignore the Man Boobs on My Chest

Yes, that’s right. I have man boobs. I may not be proud of them, but I have enough guts to show them off to the world. The only reason I am displaying my man boobs is because I want to feel pressured into losing them. I have had my man boobs, or moobs, for a [...]

Lose Weight, Gain Dirty Laundry

Lose Weight, Gain Dirty Laundry

It’s been a few weeks since I started this whole lifestyle change and one thing I noticed was that my dirty laundry has grown tremendously. It’s as if the more I workout, the more dirty clothes I have. It’s nothing major, just something I started noticing as I was doing laundry the other day. More [...]

Tae Bo Aerobics Kicked My Butt

Tae Bo Aerobics Kicked My Butt

On Monday I did Tae bo for the second time in my life. Every now and again my wife convinces me to work out to her tune. Last time I did Tae Bo with her was in our cramped apartment in New York City about 4 years ago. I ended up pulling a back muscle [...]

Tipping the Scales: 2 lbs. Lost this Week

Tipping the Scales: 2 lbs. Lost this Week

I can’t say I am surprised. Given the slow start I had to last week I was expecting to lose only a pound, but every little bit helps I suppose. This reminds me that I can’t slack off whenever I think that I a have accomplished something. My goal is to be at 299 lbs [...]

I Fell Off But Got Back On Track

I Fell Off But Got Back On Track

Last week I fell off the path for a couple of days, but I managed to get back on. I got a bit happy and cocky when I realized I had lost 20 lbs. So I decided to celebrate by eating some pasta, which isn’t that bad. But then I didnt workout on Wednesday and [...]

Experienced Guys Joining FMU

Well, they aren’t really little, but they are friends. As Fat Man Unleashed continues to grow I wanted to be able to offer different perspectives and views on weight loss and exercise matters. That being said, I invited some folks to post on FMU from time to time.
Both of these guys have years of [...]

My Weight Loss Goal Clothes

My Weight Loss Goal Clothes

I have had a pair of black jeans size 40 for about 3 years. They are made by Pepe Jeans London. I love that brand. Never worn, ever. I also have a pair of shorts my wife bought me when I was in shape but never wore them either. Those are Pepe too.
This is the [...]

Another week gone by and another weigh-in. I had been looking forward to today’s weigh-in all week because I was having a huge week workout wise. I estimated that I would lose about 5 lbs. I was off by one pound. Not bad.

Stretch Marks Are My Biggest Regret

Stretch Marks Are My Biggest Regret

I have some of the ugliest stretch marks known to man. It’s rather disgusting and repulsive. Of all the things I have regretted about letting myself get so overweight, it’s my stretch marks that I regret the most. I have bunch of them along my sides that wrap around my love handles. I also have [...]

I Bought a Recumbent Bike

I just purchased a recumbent bike from Wal-Mart. It’s the a Stamina Model # 4755. I know it’s not the best quality but I think it will fulfill its purpose for now. Plus it was only $108 bucks. It’s pretty cool and gets the job done for now. I just felt like I needed to [...]

Sleeping is the IT thing on Saturday

I woke up today at about 2 PM. That means that I slept for about 14 hours. Damn. That’s a lot of sleep. I only do it on Saturdays. I think it’s because I am so drained from the week so my body tries to make up for it on the weekend. It always shocks [...]

I Almost Didn’t Workout but then…

I did. And loved every sweaty minute of it. I had been struggling with myself all day as to whether or not I was going to workout. I wanted to but something wasn’t letting me. Two days ago on Wednesday I had a pretty grueling workout, so I took yesterday off. I ate right and [...]

My Underwear Cuts into My Fat

My Underwear Cuts into My Fat

This has been happening to me for as long as I could remember. The elastic waste band of my boxer briefs cuts into the fat around my waist. And I hate it. It hurts and is irritating. Is it me or is it the underwear that I buy? Even some loose fitting boxers tend to [...]

I Got Hit By a Train and Survived

At least that’s how I feel. My body is in so much pain it’s not even funny. Everything aches. Each step I take is agonizing. But you know something? I love it. It shows me that my workouts were hard and are affecting my body. Today’s workout was especially taxing. I was stiff and sore [...]

Off for the Day – Health Blogs That I Read

Today is Saturday and I am taking the day off. No working out, not blogging. Just chilling, watching college football, and possibly playing some Monopoly. But before I do that I wanted to list some other health related blogs (and some not) that I am subscribed to via RSS. I enjoy reading each one of [...]

Showers are a Workout Too

Showers are a Workout Too

Maybe it’s because I am over 300 lbs or maybe it’s because my shower is tiny, but showering is like working out. I tested this by showering yesterday immediately after I worked out and showering today an hour after I worked out. The differences were staggering.
When I showered immediately (within 15 minutes) after [...]

Working Out with My Family

Working Out with My Family

Over the last week or so I decided to institute a “Family Workout” routine. It basically consists of the entire family (me, my wife, and our 2 year old daughter) going to the park or going out for walks. Something, anything. My wife has been on me for months about going for walks, so this [...]

Intervention Leads to Insult

Intervention Leads to Insult

Tipping the Scales: 4 lbs. Lost this Week

Tipping the Scales: 4 lbs. Lost this Week

It may not seem like a lot, but 4 pounds lost is pretty significant to me. Especially considering that it was lost during a 6 day period. I don’t really expect to lose too much weight too fast. Maybe about 10 to 15 lbs per month for the next few months. I think that is [...]

Why John Chow is Bad for Blogging

Why John Chow is Bad for Blogging

I like to keep things related to health and weight loss, but there are times when I just need to vent. So this post is one of those times.
I have been intrigued with blogging since it started becoming popular a few years ago. That’s why I started this blog. I figured I would be able [...]

Drink More Agua

Drink More Agua

I seriously mean it. Drink MORE water. It helps clean your system out. I tend to drink at least a gallon of water a day. Maybe more, I get really thirsty after intense workouts. I also get extremely hungry after an intense workout, but I will cover that some other time.
If you look close enough [...]

That’s right. A Fat FIGHT!
I’m going to keep this short.
Jesse, from Former Fat Guy, and I have agreed to a weight loss battle. The contest will last 4 weeks. The one with the best stats on October 5th will be victorious. By best stats we mean the best overall change, relative to our bodies. [...]

Replace, Remove, Repeat

Replace, Remove, Repeat

I was having a “comment conversation” with Jesse from Former Fat Guy and as we were discussing a post of mine I blurted the phrase “replace, remove, repeat.” It was in reference to starting out slow and then gradually, over time getting acclimated with the new changes you have made in your life.

Mr. Bundles Stretches when he Runs

That’s what some people call me. LOL. I think it’s a cool name. It comes from a Rocawear brand t-shirt that I purchased while on vacation in New York. It’s one of my favorite. That’s a pic of my Mr. Bundles shirt (It’s from when I had a beard). I was also in a [...]

Yeah, I think that’s what’s best. I think I will run longer [...]
