How Determination + Hard Work = Permanent Fat Loss


If I was to perform an equation of a simple weight loss formula to solve this problem of obesity it would be easy.

I would put all the solids of positive energy extracted from Derek Bingham’s mental attitude. Then combine it with an ounce of his alter ego Mr. Meltdown’s determination to win.

I would also take away any negative influences that could form and spread a cancer of negativity resulting in mental poisonous toxins that destroy any productive thinking. Then I would add the Bible to install seeds to grow what is already there in Mr. Meltdown’s heart so that it could grow further to touch more people around him.

The results of positive energy and losing weight will assist and help others to realize that through determination and hard work blooms 100% positive results in physical change. That is my new and improved mindset and attitude for stepping my game up.

I will keep my focus on achievements and eliminate failure from my vocabulary. The end result of all this will be weight loss and lifelong happiness and that would be worth everything I am inspired to be when I think of success. The end result of this process will be happiness and I am simply worth the effort.

Should Plus Size People Start Fighting Back?

OK my last post was about my crazy flight and how I was treated by Continental Airlines. But it raised questions to me about how discriminating companies are to "Horizontally challenged" customers who deserve the same rights as skinny people.
Let me explain a little further to get you all on my page. It sucks that I am an active fun seeking guy that enjoys all the things any other skinny person would. Let’s start with Amusement Parks like 6 Flags which I have been a fan of from when I can remember. It is embarrassing and upsetting to wait in line 2 hours then when it is time to sit in the ride of choice you find that you can’t fit? It makes me wonder if they got the memo that "Horizontally challenged" people come in to theme parks too. We pay the same price to enjoy the same attractions as everyone else and deserve to enjoy ourselves too.

Now I know some of you guys could give a rats tail about big people who experience things like disappointments when big people pardon the expression, try to fit in. But remember that we have feelings and are people too and should not be made to feel as if we don’t matter. I have even heard stories that some Airlines make big people pay for 2 seats if they are flying when it is so damn easy to just make a row or 2 with better and bigger seating for people like me who are built with a little more to love on. I am so serious when I say that corporate America needs to rethink their strategies and start including big folks into their designs or they will quickly start losing out on the potential sales us big folks alike can bring them. I also want to let store owners know that the next time I come into your establishment watch out because the next post I make might be about you! ALL YOU COMPANIES THAT DISCRIMINATE AGAINTS "Horizontally challenged” people remember this one fact. Big people’s money is just as green as everyone else and we are people too. If you guys feel the same way I do then express your opinion here and comment.

Mr. Meltdown Continental Airlines Horror Flight





(seats look bigger in this picture trust me!)
Let me tell you about my interesting experience with Continental Airlines. Where do I start, what should I begin with? Well it all started when I planned a one day round trip flight to go to NJ on business. I decided to book a flight with Continental Airlines why on Earth did I do that? Let me explain before I piss a few people off who live and love them. Now last time I checked I was a big guy on a diet trying to lose weight so before you guys start let’s get past that. The trip going was OK but coming back was a horror story. I was booked on the 3:45PM flight coming back to Atlanta that boarded at gate C90. The boarding time was at 3:10PM and the flight was leaving on schedule at 3:45PM and arrives at 6:15PM in ATL. Now here is where the fun begins!

I was at the airport on time at gate C90 at 2:00PM waiting with the rest of the travelers. I noticed after 3:15PM there was nothing going on to indicate that the flight was not on time. I knew there was a problem at 3:25PM when I saw that there was no sign of anyone making way to the gate preparing to board. I ran over to customer service finding out only that my plane was rescheduled to leave from gate C95 instead and have already left. To add insult to injury I could see my flight taking off without me in it from the customer service desk as the man pointed at the plane smiley at me. I tried to maintain my composer after the representative said well I should have came early. Did I not say I was there at 2:00pm at the gate for a 3:45PM flight? Damn!
Now let’s get to the fun part! This customer service representative was an evil man who just needed prayer! He gives me a new Boarding Pass that was scheduled to leave at 6:15PM on a Continental Express flight. Now after waiting 2 more hours at Newark Airport I finally enter the plane. The plane was shaped like a hot dog and I had to bend my head as I walked to my seating area. Would you believe this Jerk of a representative booked me in a single seat that was built to fit a small child who skips meals? I was livid but again I kept my composer not to come into the evil plot to piss off a fat man. Now the male flight attendant comes to the rescue and says what was obvious. Why did the representative book me in that seat knowing I was a horizontally challenged dude?

I looked over at this woman that was no more than around 145lbs and seemed to be holding her breath as she talked, I could only assume because of her gasping for air as she sat tight in that seat saying “This seat is tight for me so I know you must be pissed”. Well the flight attendant put me in the duce seat that was indeed a much better arrangement but being the fact that I don’t like public attention that was not good for my ego. It is bad enough I have to ask for seat belt extensions than to have to add to the pain of seats made to small. I will just have to book first class for now on or drive because that was not a great way to end a day 3600 feet in the air. Have any of you guys had any bad flight stories? Let me know.

Drunken Negro Face Cookies


Ok guys you know I mostly talk about weight loss but I thought you guys might find this interesting.

I found this story on Fox News about a celebrity baker located in Greenwich Village. He is well known and has even had his food featured in the likes of TV shows like Sex In The City and many more popular movies. Now he has turned his baking skills into a very insensitive marketing scheme that features his newest creation called “Drunken Negro Head Cookies” in honor of President Barack Obama.

Now I am not one to point fingers but leave it up to you guys to watch the story and form your own opinions. Let me know what you guys think and if this is another form of racism?

Diagnosing Obesity



The most common and accepted measurements used to diagnose obesity are the Body Mass Index (BMI) and waist circumference measurements.
While these measures allow you to put your weight concerns into perspective, it is recommended that you make an appointment with a medical health advisor. They will be able to suggest a weight loss program tailored to your needs as well as do any necessary tests to screen for weight-related complications.

In addition to these measurements, your doctor will probably ask a number of questions to help confirm a diagnosis and possible causes of obesity. You will probably be asked about your medical history, the age you started gaining weight, family weight and medical history, eating and exercise habits, nicotine and alcohol use, and previous experience with weight loss attempts.

Your doctor may also do blood tests to check thyroid functioning, along with glucose and cholesterol levels to determine whether any obesity-related conditions are present such as diabetes.

How To Measure Body Fat At Home | Best Body Weight Measurement Method?

In order to maintain a healthy weight management program, you need to know how to measure your body fat accurately. Most people will simply step on a weighing scale at home, read the numbers and exclaimed, “Arrrrrgh! I have put on extra 2 kilos and I need to lose those extra weight I have gained.”

You know what? Body fat measurement on a weighing scale is unreliable. If you lose weight, how would you know that you were not losing fat but muscles, or water, or the food you have eaten? Or if you have put on weight, could it be from the muscle weight you have worked so hard for? Or could it be the heavy meal you have eaten or from the beer you have just drunk?

So your weight will fluctuate if you use the bathroom weighing scale as your body fat measurement. Then what is the best method of weight measurements can you measure your body fat more accurately?

Well, most methods of body fat weight measurement have their pros and cons but are usually better than the simple bathroom scales in measuring body fat percentages. Although not the best, here are two of the more common body fat measurement methods for effective weight management which you can do at home.

•Body Mass Index Measurement (BMI)

Body Mass Index body fat measurement method take your weight and height into consideration that will give you an indication of whether you are obese and overweight or in a great body shape. It is a calculation formula: BMI = kg/m2

A healthy BMI score is between 18 and 25. A score below 18 indicates that you may be underweight; a value above 25 indicates that you may be overweight.

However, BMI weight measurement method may not be accurate if you are an athlete or a bodybuilder with more muscle mass than an average person.

•Waist To Hip Measurement

Waist to hip method of body fat measurement is thought to be much more important than the BMI method. This is because it measures visceral fat which are normally accumulated in the abdominal area and can also be found in the organs which are considered more dangerous than normal body fat.

To measure your waist to hip ratio, measure your waist at your navel and your hips at its widest point (usually at the butt cheeks) then divide your waist by your hips. Your waist to hip measurement should be 0.92 or lower. More than that would mean that you are accumulating more visceral and body fat in that area and is an indication of susceptibility to obesity related diseases.

If you find that remembering formulae and number crunching being complicated, there are equipment you can buy to help you measure your body fat at home for your weight management program such as calipers and electronic body fat percentage calculator.

Armed with more accurate body fat measurement, then you can plan your weight management program more effectively whether to lose extra weight or gain healthy weight.
