When I started my weblog I weighed in at a whopping 230 lbs. I kind of let myself go thinking now that I was married and had kids it was OK. Being a stay at home dad all those years turned me into a much better cook but the downside was obvious. The middle picture is me after joining the Oakville YMCA and working out for about 12 weeks, almost every day for at least 2 hours each visit. It worked a bit and I lost about 20 pounds. It was grueling hard work and with the extra exercise I found I was always starving and ate accordingly. I gained almost all the weight back by April of 2004. I weighed in at 220 lbs in October of 2005. The 3rd picture is of me, is recent, March 2006. Since I separated from my wife and started to eat like a bachelor, the pounds started to fall off. My personal trainer guy at the Y said exercise is good for you and will help you loose some weight but if you want to really drop the pounds you need to eat less. I kept myself to under 1200 calories a day for the better part of 3 months and Voila!! I still exercise too.



Skinny and Single. Who would have guessed it.
