Official Start – Missing Weigh-In

March 15, 2010

Well, today is the official start of the diet again.  Unfortunately, as I was afraid of, my current weight is beyond the capacity of my scale at home (330lbs).  This only solidifies my fears that I’ve gone well above and beyond the weight that I’d originally started this process at.  My current estimate is about [...]

A New Adventure

March 14, 2010

First, I wish to thank everyone that has followed me and he blog throughout the years. You’ve seen me through my ups, my downs, and my extended periods of silence. For quite some time, I gave up entirely on the dream of living a healthy lifestyle, and instead regressed into my old self-destructive patterns. In [...]

Fat Guy on a Diet – Journey Update

June 22, 2009

Just a little less than a year ago, I was a man with a plan and a goal. Starting at 323lbs, I wanted to get myself in shape, live healthier, and actually pull my life together. Over the course of 6 months, I succeeded in every aspect, losing 40lbs and getting down to 283lbs!! I [...]

Week 19 – Relaunch

November 7, 2008

The last two weeks or so were crazy enough to do what I felt was the impossible, they knocked me off the wagon.  With being sick, all of the election preparations, and various other stress, I fell completely off the wagon and started going back to my old ways.   I didn’t get really bad until [...]

Week 16 – Weigh In

October 13, 2008

I broke it!  The official weigh in as of this morning is 287.2, a 2.8lb drop from last week!  That’s a pretty good return from the extra effort I put in, and I’m really hoping I can keep up that level for at least a month or two.  I really would like to get down [...]

Nutritional Information

September 26, 2008

Since day one on this diet, one of the major issues I’ve found has been tracking down actual calorie values for many major restaurants in the area.  Either the restaurant doesn’t want to divulge this information, are reluctant to divulge this information, or just have never gathered this information before because it wasn’t a requirement.  [...]

Diet History – Phat2Phit

August 28, 2008

Years ago, I tried doing the “diet blog”.  At that time, I called it Phat2Phit.  I didn’t stick with it at all, and after the first day, I really never went back to it.  I see it as being my first failed attempt before I made the move with this site.  The diet plan sounds [...]

Day 60 – 60 days already!?

August 28, 2008

Day 60!?  Wow.. just 305 left until the 1st year anniversary of the diet.  Hehe. Yeah, I know, that’s looking a bit far out.  I’m just wondering where I’m going to be 6 months or 10 months from now.  Will I have hit my goals?  Will I still be working towards it?  Will I be [...]

Olympic Gold Medalist Eats Worse Than I Ever Did!

August 13, 2008

I just read a story about Micheal Phelps in the New York Post.  It seems in order to keep up his energy levels, he’s consuming massive amounts of food.  Kinda reminds me of the Flash.   This is a sample of his typical day’s diet: Phelps’ diet – which involves ingesting 4,000 calories every time he [...]

Week 7 – Weigh In

August 11, 2008

It’s been a week since my last post.  The past week has been probably the most stressful that I’ve had in a long time for several reasons.  Between working with a dear friend to get their website online to house/pet sitting for my friends while they were out of town.   Work was especially crazy, as [...]
