Does the name Edward Payson Weston say anything to you? I thought so. Well, this gentleman who lived between 1839-1929 is responsible for some feats that are simply remarkable. To make a long story short he is famous for… walking (The Father of Modern Pedestrianism as Wikipedia describes him). The one piece of information that [...]

The Results (Losing weight saga – Epilogue)
For the last past months I’ve randomly written blog posts in the “Losing weight saga” category.

You know you’re too fat when… (Losing weight saga – 10)

The Sugar Rush
I have never considered myself a thin person. I like to consider myself as a big boned person as opposed to being plain fat. I try to watch what I am eating as the effects can be devastating. But the environment you’re in plays a big part of on you. For example: everyone here in [...]

The Wonder Diet
One of the common concerns of people in America is the way they look, so naturally they are concerned about their weight. Nothing weird here: you are judged and labeled within 30 seconds you meet a new person. That label won’t go away to easily. So you naturally want to look your best. The problem [...]
