I’m inching closer to that Marathon Weight! My average weight for June was 182.6lbs. My heaviest weight was 186.5 and my lightest weight was 176.4. The up and down game continues. But it was a significant drop in my average weight from the previous months. May’s average was 185.0lbs. So I went down almost 2.5lbs.…
I finally feel like I’m getting back on track towards my Marathon Weight! My average weight for April was 186.2lbs. Down three pounds from my March average. Yay! What changed this month? I didn’t do as many multi-day fasts as I did in March or February. But I did two 41-hour fasts. One at the…
It’s that time of year again. Imagine Paul Revere, riding his horse through town shouting: The Holidays are Coming! The Holidays are coming! For some, the holidays are already here. And for others, they are just around the corner. Holiday time is tricky. Especially, when you’re trying to watch your weight. Even in these pandemic…

It’s been almost 6 months since I reached my KFC Weight (200lbs) and I’m astounded that my average weight for the last 6 months has been 198.5lbs. Why astounded? I’ve been trying for years to get to that weight, but I barely came close in five years of trying. And now, I’ve been able to…
Everyone knows how to lose weight: Make sure that your calories “in” are less than your calories “out”, right? Wrong! According to The Obesity Code by Jason Fung most of our concepts about weight gain and obesity are incorrect. And the obesity explosion over the last few decades reflect this. More people are trying to…
For almost three years my friend Mike and I would post our daily weight in the hopes of encouraging each other to lose weight. We didn’t diet, but just tried to be aware of our eating. In those 34 months, our weights went down and went up. Eventually, we started marking who had lost the…
Last Friday, I stayed after work an extra 45 minutes. I was chatting with my friend, Mike, and the conversation was on a roll. It was one of those conversations that are usually fuelled by alcohol, although this one was not. We talked about life, friends, family, mortality and things we wanted to do “one…
