How did I get here. …at least that’s the question that I’ve asked myself lately because the last year, with all of its up’s and down’s, has been very interesting. You see, when I started this journey, I never expected it to be the emotional roller coaster that it’s turned out to be. I’ve gone [...]

Yesterday was a great day, I managed to get in about three hours of workout time and I logged all of my food intake. My only issue with yesterday was that I didn’t get any sleep last night… I only got about 5 hours in total which made today not so great. This morning I [...]

Greetings. My name is Chris and I used to blog here about my weight loss journey. Something happened along the way and I got stuck and then a few months went by and frustration and depression and a general lack of interest set in. Meh. But I’m back because I really want to get back [...]

So the blog was hacked a few days ago and I’ve just spent the better part of my evening reinstalling everything. Hopefully it’s secure because I don’t really want to go through this again. It’s not 100% back to normal but it’s good enough to turn back on to visitors. There hasn’t been much to [...]

Last night was our first weigh in after a week of working out. I managed to log all of my food last week and put in several extra hours of working out both at the gym and up at the lake. When I stepped on to the scale and saw that I lost 13 lbs I was a bit shocked. That’s the most I’ve ever lost in a single week and the first time I’ve ever seen double digits.

So I’m doing the Biggest Loser thing again at my local gym… this time around I’m pretty determined to win and take home the prize of a free years membership. My ultimate goal, of course, is to lose weight… but winning still rules!

The following is from a psych evaluation from September of 2002. It was a requirement for my bariatric surgery. “Patient reports limited physical activity as a result of his obesity. In addition he describes significant psychological issues of shyness and limited social interaction as a result of his obesity.” It’s been 9 years since this was written [...]

Today, at the pool, it was announced that I had placed second in the Biggest Loser thing that I joined a few months ago. I didn’t post about it much here, it was somewhat of a let down and not really what I would have hoped it to be and it certainly wasn’t anything like [...]

Previous Weight: 315.0 lbs Current Weight: 318.2 lbs Loss/Gain: +3.2 lbs Total Weight Loss: 74.8 lbs Where to begin…. last week was a rough one for me (in terms of diet and exercise). On Saturday I went to a local Craft Beer festival and proceeded to get extremely drunk and eat a ton of crap food; pizza, polish sausages, [...]
Hello there. I'm Chris, a nerdy fellow who lives in Northern California. I've had a weight issue my whole life and lately I've been doing something about it by changing the way that I live my life.
I joined a gym and I started eating better. I got off my ass and started dealing with my problems and I've lost almost 200 lbs since I began this process.
I still have a ways to go and the road is long, but I know that it gets shorter each and every day.
