Congratulations to no one!

I have to confess that my diet of homemade candy (peanut clusters, popcorn balls and almond bark), pies (razzle-berry, white chocolate cranberry, pumpkin) and cream of baked potato with bacon soup does not seem to be working in the losing weight department. I can't understand what I am doing wrong.

Oh, I forgot to mention that our daily walks on the lake have been few and far between as we spend most of our time running back and forth from the grocery store to keep our larder well stocked. Talking about larder, my larder is getting larger, whatever that means.

After this week's dismal report, I can't wait to see next week's weights when we have the run-up to Christmas to overcome with sheer will power!

Wish us luck, your obedient servant and FatsoN0Mo spokesperson, Jeff

FatsoNoMo to the rescue!!!!!!!!!!

As is clear from the table on the left, we have all done an exemplary job in this the crucial, penultimate phase of the highly-scientific, well-planned and brilliantly executed FatsoNoMo Phase Three.

Toni and I felt so good about our performance, last week, eating salads and peanuts (roughly the diet of monkeys at the Lincoln Park Zoo as I recall) until we were thrown off our path to success by those evil people from Geneseo. The took us, bound and gagged, to Pancho's in Genoa City and forced us to eat burritos and drink Margaritas, last night. However, we have resolved to reinstitute the monkey diet as soon as we return from Chicago on Sunday.

To all the rest of you diligent dieters - Good Luck and remember...

FatsoNoMo to the rescue!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Another week, another 6.8 pounds lost and never to be found again!

Everyone in the gala, spectacular, super-wonderful FatsoNoMo family of svelteites, either lost weight or did not gain anything.

Good luck next week and remember....


FatsoNoMo!!!!!!!!!!!!

Big news - FatsoNoMo reigns supreme!

Well, as far as the twosome at the bottom of the hill, we have been eating like Buddhist monks and, if not loving it, at least not minding the good effect it has had in our weight-loss extravaganza.

We are still not exactly where we want to be, but we are moving in the right direction, at least.

Woe is me! Week Two is Weak for Me

I am using this medium as a hint that things are not good at Casa Quinto.

After giving a half, no quarter-way try, this week, both Toni and I gained weight, this week. Toni gained 1.6 pounds and doubled that.

We are going to have a serious talk about our eating habits on the way to Burger King for ice cream this evening. I cannot imagine why we are not losing weight.

Oh well, I will look forward to hearing how everyone else did.

Your larger-than-life pal, Jeff

FatsoNoMo rides again!!!!!!!!!

Well, here we are in Phase II of our weight-losing, physique-enhancing, confidence-building, happiness-generating contest!

And, we are all winners as no one gained weight and everyone lost weight.

As for me, I am doubly motivated as I will be speaking in Las Vegas in November. Sean reminded me of the advice I gave him to never do anything that you would not do in front of your mother. Taking this advice to heart, as Sean points out, sort of limits the fun to be had in 'vegas, so we will only be there long enough for me to speak and receive the undying adoration of the crowd and, then, steal all of the soap and shampoo out of our hotel room.

Good luck for next week!

Phase II starts NOW!

Welcome to Phase II of our inaugural FatsoNoMo Fat-reducing, Health-enhancing, Looks-advancing Program laid out according to the precepts of my now world-famous DELI® Diet (Don't Eat Like an Idiot).

We will use whatever weight you are/were on last Friday or today if you did not weigh-in last Friday and, then, mark the change as of this coming Friday.

Phase I was a great success with dozen(s) of pounds lost. Phase II will be even better!

Your pal, Jeff

Beer has carbs?

Well, my new weight is currently 5lbs heavier then before. This is sad to have gained weight, but worth it. I'm slowly getting back on the right track, but find it so much easier to keep gaining. like I said before, I may loose some battles but will not loose the war. Congrats to you people who lost weight, I wish the best in weight loss for you. (but right now I hate you)

The hill people top the lowlanders!

In what I hope will not become a trend, the highlanders beat the lowlanders, this week.

I had hoped that my stunning picture of Fritz the Wonder Dog would have resulted in their taking pity on us and had an extra cone or two so as not to embarrass us (particularly me).

Oh well, we will redouble our efforts next week when we rededicate ourselves to being:

FatsoNoMo!

it's on

This Grande groom has had his new scale for a little over a week and is proud to report a loss of 8lbs. I got the old school scale that uses a analog vs. digital. Apparently the people in the digital scale industry are prejudice against fat people. The buxom bride and I are still fighting the good fight; we have lost a few battles here and there but we will certainly win the war.
Glad to hear about everyone else, keep on tuckin'.

Four Pounds Closer to FatsoNoMo!

As for those of us down the hill, we had a very disciplined week.

However, we have not done such a great job this weekend and will have to redouble our efforts, next week.

Have a great week and remember the watchword:

FatsoNoMo!!!!

Headed in the Right Direction (Mostly) - Week Three Results

Well, team now the going gets tough, but we will get going, next week. Our results varied from down 1.o pound to up 0.8.

As for me, I feel good about what we have done. I am feeling more energy, greater vitality, improved flexibility, enhanced productivity and substantially increased prosperity!

All because of FatsoNoMo!

Week 1 1/2 Results

Congratulations to each one of us for either losing or staying the same!

Don't forget that next week's weigh-in is on Friday.

FatsoNoMo!

Tips and Tricks for Hungry Chicks

Hey all! Found a fun website for recipes. Go to http://www.hungry-girl.com/

Toni and Jeff in the highly regarded Walworth County Shopper, the New York Times of Wisconsin

The Sunday Shopper, thick with pages of ads, is favored throughout Southeast Wisconsin as the paper of choice when looking to buy a good used car or trying to paper train a puppy.

7 Whole Lbs???

How did you lose 7 pounds????? That is completely rediculous! (I lose .4 lbs. Please do not misread that... it's less than a half pound). I was with you when you sampled everything that Capital Brewing had made that day.... Oh the humanity of it!!!

Congratulations, all you losers, er... non-gainers! Another week, another chance at the FAT DOWN SMACK DOWN!!!!!

Weighing one leg at a time

I have yet to conquer my scale, and just currently tried a one leg at a time method that did not work either. The diet is going strong however, and we will be allowed to introduce more carbs into our diet at the end of this week. I have never been so excited to eat bread in my entire life.
I can tell I have lost weight; though I'm still unclear on how much. Good dieting and exercise to all, and good luck.

Week One Results!!!!!

Tree Lady -1.0
Polish Cannon -2.0
Indy Racer -7.2
BuxomBride -.4
GrandeGroom E
QT Pie -3.4

How to lose seven pounds without really trying!

I think that an explanation is in order as I will post a weekly loss for our first week of 7.2 pounds. Even I didn't believe it until I considered my activity just prior to my first weigh-in. We went to the Capital Brewing Company and, as I knew I would, I tasted everything they offered. So, it is clear I have discovered the secret for fast weight gain. Now, we will see if I can discover the secret of consistent weight loss. As an aside, my weight gain secret was a lot of fun.

Congratulations!!!!!

You two made it!

As for Toni and I, we just finished our low-cal dinner of a bushel of lettuce and a hamburger followed by dessert consisting of 400 almonds.

Life is good.

To Be With You All

Means to be with less of me....YEAH!!!

I Made It

FatsoNoMo....is my mantra.
Glad to be in this with all of you.

Fat be Damned

I have been on a gut wrenching diet of no carb/low carb for about two weeks now. I have wieghed myself, and found out that I weigh E. I'm assuming this stands for excellent and not error. My goal( with the help of the Buxom Bride) is to loose enough weight so that the scale cooperates and so that I look even better in a tux then I already do. I'm sure I will have to quit my job at five guys to achieve this so don't plan on recieving a wedding invitation any time soon. Good luck to all, and by all I mean me.

A message from BuxomBride

Hey all, here's the picture a little bigger. It isn't me, but it is a picture of someone who looks a lot like I feel. So there you have it.

GrandeGroom and I are doing pretty darn well on our diet. We haven't been to Taco Bell in over 2 weeks (!) w hich must set a record somewhere. I happily lost 4 lbs last week, but our challenge doesn't start til this week, so consider me on a roll! (Actually on a roll to get rid of the roll but that is neither here nor there.)

GG and I are going the low carb route, and I was delighted to see that RED WINE has zero carbs for one glass! I'm assuming that figure stays the same for 3-4 glasses, please do not correct me if I am wrong.

Lastly, a warning to all of my like-weighted competitors: You may want to lose the wieght, but I've got a big (little) white dress to fit in to and a church full of people who will be staring at my back fat.

IT'S A FAT DOWN SMACK DOWN!

Headed to someplace good!

We are four days into the new us and, if I do say so, we are making progress. This week, we ate reasonably every day. However, I am pleased that I took my tour of the Capital Brewing brewery and beer garden before my weigh-in, instead of after.

I would rather it go to waste than to my waist!

My new mantra for a new me. I am fed up being FAT and having a big gut. In one month I will be on my way to the old me, or to a new me. Happy but hungry. QT PIE

The DELI Diet®

I have a plan for the future, my future.

I intend to lose a meaningful amount of weight by September 15th.

I have targeted a loss of 10 pounds.

If I lose 10 pounds I will reduce my weight to the point where I was several years ago when I thought that I was fat. So, I am reducing my weight by one fat increment. When I am done, I will still be fat, but I will be only as fat as I was two years ago, not as fat as I am today, err, last month.

My secret, which I share with you now, is very simple. So simple, in fact, that I am registering it so that I will be the one to earn a Brittany Spears-sized income with about the same amount of effort that she puts forth.

I am hereby announcing The DELI Diet®.

It will be the latest rage and supplant the South Beach Diet, the Adkins Diet and all other diets promoted by people who were always thin and never needed to lose any weight anyway.

This is a diet so easy that even a complete imbecile can do it.

I am calling it The DELI Diet®!

To take advantage of my new-age, ultra-scientific diet research, all you need to do is Don’t Eat Like an Idiot.

I have been strictly..no seriously..no, err somewhat following the diet for nearly four weeks and I have lost five pounds. At least, I had lost it this morning before I single-handedly ate about half a large pizza. This is the reason that I am writing this tonight before my morning weigh-in.

If you agree that The DELI Diet® is a revolution in weight loss, proven beyond a shadow of doubt by my own weight loss, you can be part of this life-changing revolution. You do not need to spend your hard-earned money on books or ab machines, all you need to do is send me $5 to my address, below.

After you have sent the money, I will send you an e-mail with your own personal weight calculating/losing graph. Once you have the graph, simply fill it out in whatever way you think appropriate and, most importantly, you will feel so much better about yourself.

As for me, I will feel infinitely better about myself for inventing The DELI Diet® and, at the same time, finding a way to get people I don't even know to send me money.

Your pal, Jeff
