Oops, I did it again….

by Chris July 31, 2009

I’ve gone and done it. Again. After setting a goal in January that I thought would take until September to achieve, I met the goal in early May. Shortly thereafter, I was riding a pretty good high, and set my next goal with September 18 (my birthday) as my target: I wanted to reach 275 [...]

Week 9 Weigh In: Damage Undone!

by rev.todd July 28, 2009

Well I undid the damage of the last couple of weeks this week. I am feeling better each day and will try week 3 of the “Couch to 5K” program (http://www.coolrunning.com/engine/2/2_3/181.shtml) probably on Wednesday or Thursday. I want to make sure I am all the way better before I do too much. I haven’t been [...]

week 7 & 8 weigh-ins

by rev.todd July 26, 2009

Well, the last two weeks I haven’t done very well at all. I gained a couple of pounds each week but I am hoping my next weigh-in in the next day or 2 will be good news. I have been out of town and got sick which are two things that often trigger weight gain [...]

On the verge…

by Chris July 26, 2009

Last week marked my first week back in the gym after a my vacation. My two weeks off were followed by a week where I had a pretty nasty sinus infection, so not much time was spent sweating out the calories or eating anything particularly healthy. You know how it is — you feel like [...]

Relaxing with Meryl

by Chris July 22, 2009

Without a doubt, I’ve been working hard. I’ve had this intense focus on health and wellness for over a year now that has been almost unshakeable. And it has been fantastic. But what has been even more exciting for me, was the prospect of taking a break from it all — work, home, working out [...]

Diagnosed With Sleep Apnea

by John July 21, 2009

A little over a week ago I was diagnosed with severe sleep apnea, a condition that while not limited to those being overweight is certainly likely to target that group at a higher rate.  As a public service announcement I’d like to educate my fellow fatbloggers in the hopes that should you be exhibiting any [...]

I stopped listening to Dory

by John T July 15, 2009

Cross-published at Rejected Reality When I had lost enough weight for people to notice; I was asked the inevitable question, “How are you doing it?” My answer, “Eating less and moving more”. I was always amazed by the fatalistic response, “I just can’t do that”. One night, I was watching Finding Nemo with my kids; [...]

A Year of Weight Loss – A Year of Change

by South Beach Steve July 14, 2009

Today marks my one year anniversary of changing my life forever.  Now, here I am some 60 pounds lighter, and much, much healthier.  It makes me shudder to think the path I was going down.  I am not to my goal yet, but that time is not so far off now.  Let me tell you, [...]

Week 4 Check-in

by Rick July 14, 2009

Still no official weight, but I’m finding that the longer I do this, the more I don’t need it.  I feel great.  Moreover, I hit another of my small, intangible benchmarks in that I have another pair of 38 jeans that I can now wear.  They’re still a little tight, so I won’t be wearing [...]
