About Me
I was at my heaviest weight in 1990, a earth thundering 475 pounds. After 2 and a half years, I dropped nearly 300 pounds of fat and in the years since, gained nearly 60 pounds of lean muscle tissue through Weight Training and Bodybuilding. I tell people that I have a Before, and After and a Current picture because at my lightest weight, 187 pounds, I was still carrying some body fat and was quite gaunt. It was through the process of weight training that I began to pack on some muscle and become more proud of how I looked.
After being on the web since 1995 with my former fat guy website, I finally launched this new blog to create a community of like minded individuals. People looking to lose weight, discuss their weight issues, gain knowledge about the various weight loss programs out there and to discuss natural health and weight loss.
This page is a work in progress as I have time.
August 24, 2007: I have been working quite hard interviewing and training new expert authors for this blog. By interviewing them, I mean I am interviewing them and recording it so that you may get to know the author better.
Updating my About page has been put on the back burner for a bit as I ready this blog for the leading experts in their fields. Lots to come.
as for contacting me, there is no “contact me” page on this site. my email address is myfirstname at formerfatguy dot com. Just piece that back together in your email client and I’ll get it. I get hundreds of emails a day. If it’s a question, I make every effort to answer it on this blog for everyone to see. If you’ve asked it, most likely hundreds of others WANT to ask it. I may or may not be able to answer your question personally. However, I’m very active on this blog (of course), and in the weight loss support forum, so your best way to ask questions is to leave a comment on this blog, in one of the posts. You’ll get special attention from either myself or my team of expert authors.
I was the host of an internet radio talk show back in 2003 and I’m getting ready to launch a Podcast on this blog so will be attending Podcamp in Boston in October to get up to speed on the latest about that. I have a few of my interviews available as a package at Fat Loss Insider Secrets and I have 3 more interviews with Brad King, Udo Erasmus and Harvey Diamond on my other website

Hi there,
I’ve just discovered your site and have found all your recipes to be exactly what I’m looking for – HEALTHY! I noticed that I could have you email me a weekly recipe and I was wondering if there was any costs involved to have this happen. Looking forward to hearing from you.

I have a lot of respect for you and what you have accomplished with your weight loss. I myself was at 275 pounds and hated every minute of it! I found out that I could loose the weight but I had to find personal motivation to to help me keep it off.
As long as you have a plan and motivation you will be able to keep the weight off.

So whatever happend to Harvey and Marilyn Diamond? I would love to see a pic of you instead of just the audio on your advertisement. I find it
to be a great motivator.
Harvey and Marilynn split up. I’m in touch with Harvey now and again. I was in Florida recently and contacted him about meeting up but his plate was full. Harvey is doing fine.
What is your date of birth? Just curious as to how old were you in the before and after pictures…how old are you now?
