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
