Hey Friends and Fam, Here’s my 1st oh-ffice-see-al update since re-starting my sojourn to regain my “Sex Symbol” status. (LOL) I officially started the process on May 24th so today (June 10th) is Day #17 of my Pilgrimage of Diminishing Girth and I am happy to say that according to “Fred” I have shed exactly 5 lbs since starting on my new journey last month. For those of you who don’t know, “Fred” is the name I dubbed my Bathroom Scale. I searched for the blandest, driest name I could find since I don’t think it likes me very much and I wanted to return the favor! Anywho, I’ve lost 5 glorious, wonderful pounds so far and I am psyched. I did some research on weight loss and I found all this cool stuff online about BMI and Body Fat Percentages, etc. So, I’m going to share what I’ve found with you. The website is www.Bmi-Calculator.net and this is what it said…

“Your body fat percentage is simply the percentage of fat your body contains. If you weigh 140 pounds and are 10% fat, it means that your body consists of 14 pounds fat and 126 pounds lean body mass (bone, muscle, organ tissue, blood,…).

A certain amount of fat is essential to bodily functions. Fat regulates body temperature, cushions and insulates organs and tissues and is the main form of the body’s energy storage. Check out this Body Fat Chart which describes fat ranges and their associated categories.

I used the said Calculator and found out my Body Fat is 35.76% – According to the Chart below, that folks, is seriously obese!

Body Fat Percentage Categories
Classification	Women (% fat)	Men (% fat)
Essential Fat	10-12%	2-4%
Athletes	14-20%	6-13%
Fitness	21-24%	14-17%
Acceptable	25-31%	18-25%
Obese	32%+	25%+

I AM FAT!

Nothing annoys me so much as “Political Correctness” that defies all common sense.

I am Fat… Not “Big”… Not “Stocky”… Not “Big Boned”… Not Fluffy… FAT!

I got that way by sitting my butt on a chair at a computer for 16 hours a day, not exercising or eating healthy for years.

I have no qualms calling a spade a spade and I don’t need my truth sugar-coated either, the reality is I’ve allowed my health to degenerate because of indiscipline. The upside however, is that I have acknowledged the problem and I’m aggressively taking measures to correct it.

So, come with me on my weight loss journey and hopefully, I’ll inspire someone along the way.

As some of you may remember I began a Weight Loss Journey several months ago which came to a premature and dismal end a few weeks later but… Everest Before Photo Front I am proud to announce that I am back on my Weight Loss Journey once again! Let’s call this Weight Loss 2.0 because this time I’m bringing out the heavy artillery! My very good friend and Brother-in-Christ, Trevor Chatham, all the way from Australia heard that I was trying to lose weight and generously blessed me with $600 worth of Isagenix Health & Wellness Products. In response to his generosity I signed up for the program and entered the IsaBody Challenge which is a 4 month contest open to all Isagenix Distributors to see who gains the most significant body transformation in 16 weeks! 1st Prize is a whopping $25,000 which I plan on taking home with me! So, here I am again folks, starting a new phase of my weight loss journey. This time with greater motivation to succeed! My ultimate goal is to release 125 lbs! I am now at 295 lbs so my desired weight is 170 lbs. I’ve included some BEFORE photos of myself and will post my AFTER photos at the end of the competition. Wish me well, cause here goes everything…
