Another NOT the Biggest Loser…

by

I am grateful to Coco for making the time to share her experience. She we tweeted after my Not the Biggest Loser blog post and I asked her to share her thoughts here. I was overweight all my life and have the chubby baby pictures and painful child memories to prove it. I was a size 12 high school, and although I might have gotten down to a size 8 for a few minutes in college, I pretty much was ... Continue Reading

Another who’s NOT the Biggest Loser…

by

BEFORE: AFTER: I am grateful to Patricia for making the time to share her experience. She emailed me privately after my blog post and I asked her to share her thoughts here. On October 22nd, Carla really got me thinking with her post – What if You’re Not the Biggest Loser?” Until I graduated from high school in 1979, I never had a weight issue. I played tennis, walked dogs ... Continue Reading

Being the Best Version of Me.

Howdy there Mizfit'ers! I'm Brandon from A Healthy Dad, and I'm very happy and humbled to be writing in this space today. I think my history and struggles with weight are very similar to many others out there. I was overweight pretty much my entire life, for as long as I can remember. I went through those awkward high school years as an overweight teen. Around the time I started college, I ... Continue Reading

A magic pill (guest post).

by

“How did you do it?” That is the question I get a lot when people find out I lost over 100 pounds. I then proceed to tell them just how I did it. And I watch their faces fall. Disappointment. I counted my calories. “Oh, I can’t do that.” They say. I started swimming. “I hate exercising.” Most of the time the conversation ends after that. No, I don’t have a magic pill that ...

When life gets to be a pain in the butt (guest post)

by

I’ll be honest about this: I was torn when MizFit asked me if I would guestblog. On one hand, since I adore MizFit and her blog, I am flattered and honored. On the other hand, when MizFit suggested the topic of my guestblog, I was sorry and saddened. Let me explain: My topic is back pain, inspired by MizFit’s recent experience in “being a right angle.”  (Remember her blog of last month?) I ... Continue Reading

Today I’m here for a kinda gross, yet ... Continue Reading

Be your best self.

by

We all have heroes and role models whom we admire. There are certain traits or characteristics that draw us to someone. I think it's safe to say that most of us are drawn to people who are kind, outgoing, honest, loyal, and brave. Small Detour to Talk About Smiling Are you drawn to people who smile? I know I'm drawn to them like a freaking magnet. In fact, I rarely walk away from them ... Continue Reading
