I had a very interesting conversation with my cousin the other day. It centered around his wanting to get back into shape. He hadn’t been over my house for a few months and realized how I was living a healthier life: green tea and soy milk in the fridge, tuna in the cupboard, salads and [...]
Yep, it’s already that time of year. It seems like time has flown by this year. Tomorrow we are planning on having a small barbecue with some chicken , hot dogs, and steaks. The usual stuff. I on the other hand am planning on only eating chicken. I want to keep it as healthy as [...]
I had one of the best workouts I have had in a while today. Yep, I must say I am proud of myself. Although it is very early in my weight loss journey, I am extremely satisfied with the start. If this is a look of what’s to come then I will be at my [...]
I woke up today with the desire to workout. But I didn’t right away. Instead I went over to a friends house and helped him move a 250 pound big screen television from his upstairs game room to his downstairs living room. After a few minute and a lot of sweat, we did it. Oh, [...]
The last couple of days have been pretty satisfying. I have managed to mentally suppress my appetite. As soon as I get up I make a protein shake and eat a bowl of raisin bran cereal with soy milk. Then I eat a yogurt, fruit and or a half a can of tuna for lunch. [...]
Yep, that’s right. I was on the right track for about a month, doing my workouts and eating the way I needed to eat. I was even mentally “there.” But that’s behind me now because today was the day I started all over again.
I weighed myself today and was at 345 lbs. I told ya [...]
I was just doing my normal web surfing and stumbled across a super duper freebie giveaway! I am so excited that I will be in the running for JohnCow.com’s five hundred dollars. I can actually win this thing all without clocking in or showing up to the office…I can really be making money online. [...]
About once a month I experience a weird, non-sleepy, full of energy day. Last night was one of those days. I don’t particularly like it when I stay up all day and all night, but I am at least able to get tons of work done online. Although, now that I think of it, I [...]
The other day I was searching the web, notice how I didn’t say “googling,” for blogs that were similar to mine. I came across a large collection of blogs that were very informative and entertaining. Many of the bloggers are similar to me in that they just want a place to speak their mind about [...]
Ever since getting back home from New York I have been finding it extremely hard to exercise and eat better. I told myself that when I got back home it would be back to my normal routine that I followed before heading off on vacation. Well, disappointingly I have not lifted one weight or eaten [...]
I was in New York over the last 5 or 6 weeks and it was torture. I was not able to get online, workout, feel good, or anything. I had a horrible time and it affected me in every facet of my life. I went backwards as far as my workouts and diet are concerned, [...]
It has been a while since I posted. Since my last post I have been hitting the weights and cardio on a consistent basis. Except for a couple of days last week when some “things” happened that required my undivided attention. But besides that I have been on a role. I have already made this [...]
Well, I am happy to say that I lost 18 lbs so far in only 2 weeks since I have begun my journey. I have developed a mini-complex. By that I mean that I on a constant workout mode. I always want to be working out or eating right or doing something that will assist [...]

I feel weird today, not sure what it is really. I managed to eat right and work out. Today was a cardio day and I was on the treadmill for 20 minutes. I fought through the pain though. At around 13 minutes I was feeling like stopping but I kept going. I also felt [...]
Last night I found a site that let me do an informal test of my body fat percentage. It was very interesting, although extremely informal. According to the test:
I have 26.5% body fat.
I have 89.8 Pounds of fat and 249.2 Pounds of lean (muscle, bone, body water).
If those numbers are close to realistic then I [...]
I really need to start working out earlier in the day that way I can do my night session with out being so tired. It all started when I went out for that run last night. I was so pumped that I went to bed at 4 AM. That caused me to wake up at [...]
Today was an awesome day. I woke up ready to workout but couldn’t because I spent the majority of the day with my daughter. It was so great because we enjoyed each others company. For breakfast I had some Total Raisin Bran with some 2% low fat milk. It tasted really good and filled me [...]
This section is where I will be periodically posting all of the pictures that I take throughout the process of me losing the weight. Check back here often for visual updates on my healthy weight loss progress. I will attempt to take new pictures every week monthly.
Me at Day 1. Scroll down for the progression…

I am finally back from being away for a week. What a week it was. I managed to do tons of walking while I was away from home. It was tough but I did manage to maintain my weight. I did a lot of sweating, the thermogenesis came in handy because it allowed for me [...]
That’s right. 9 Pounds of waste is no longer a part of me. By the way, last night I could only crank out 25 push ups. Halfway there but it’s a start. I have some pics of the gym I have set up in my shack and also of the back yard where I will [...]
What a day. It started out wrong. Things didn’t feel right. I was dreading waking up today because I knew that I had to begin my lifestyle change. Last night I was craving some Dominoes Pizza. I even ordered it , but it never came. I guess it was fate that didn’t let it come.
Anyway, [...]
Well, the journey will begin tomorrow Sunday. It’s going to be hard since it’s Memorial Day Weekend and the whole family is going to the beach and then a barbecue. I have a training regime that I am going to be sticking with for the next few months. No surgery baby. Just sweat and hard [...]
I am going to use this time to breakdown a little bit about how this all came about. It’s going to be a long one. So sit back and get ready to read.
Read about me real quick before you read below: About the Fat Man
It all dates back to my childhood. Eating ice cream and [...]
