Gentleman, the culmination of every Dethroner discussion starts today as we embark on our most important theme ever: poop. Our guest experts this week are Josh Richman and Anish Sheth, M.D., authors of “What’s Your Poo Telling You?” They’ll be on hand as we take lower G.I. to all new heights.
Oh, the puns we will […]

I think all my bad decisions have finally caught up with me and I should, I hope, see more substantial losses in the upcoming weeks. I actually weighed in a pound heavier this morning than last Friday—I’m going to assume that’s the tail end of the last few really stupid things I did. I mean, […]

So I’m late, again. I couldn’t abide not being under 200 pounds again, so I waited a couple days. Between last week’s 201 and this Wednesday, I only lost another pound. When I woke up Wednesday morning and was 200 pounds, I flew off the deep end, irrationally determined that I must be under 200 […]

Timothy Ferriss’ “The 4-Hour Workweek” has made a noticeable impact on me since I read it this weekend. (My impressions of the book are here.) I’ve already tried taking some of his advice to heart and it’s working pretty well; I’ve made some positive steps towards self-sufficiency.
Part of what made me put stock in Ferriss’ […]

Six weeks! Not much to say here, except I’m limiting the cheating after this weekend. I found myself going overboard and getting into a cycle where it was getting way too easy to justify not doing the right thing. I won’t go into great detail, but, “I’ll get back on it on Monday,” is not […]

I’ve been thinking about mortality a lot lately, predicated by an insanely unawesome tip over the abyss one night after getting high with a friend. Weird—I’ve done all sorts of hallucinogens in my day, but never have I so completely lost my shit as I did that evening as the awareness of my infinitesimal importance […]

According to a lot of manly men, you can only put fruit in your drink when you’re on vacation someplace tropical or else it’s sissy. Even taking a slice of fruit in your cocktail smacks of the gay to some hard drinking lugs. At best, maybe, if there is no more whiskey, maybe you can […]

On one hand, I feel terrible for this man: he clearly has no self-control and is living in amazing denial. On the other, what in the hell are his family doing feeding him over 14,000 calories a day? They claim he’d only order delivery food if they didn’t feed him—so cut off his phone. He’s […]

A day late and a few pounds lighter, but unfortunately no picture update. I was sick yesterday, and I weighed in but neglected to take a photo, then went back to bed. Then I forgot all about it until a friend texted my phone to ask where the post was. Oops! To all my loyal […]

Sorry for the blurry picture this week. It was particularly gloomy this morning, so I guess the exposure went longer than normal. Next time I’ll try to find a tripod, or at least some surface to place the camera on.
Another slow week this time, probably because I went a little overboard Friday night and ingested […]
