I hate to tell you this, but the only cure for wanting a paddleboard is buying a paddleboard. I thought that, since I’m a fat guy, I would eventually just watch enough skinny people on paddleboards that I’d get over trying it. It didn’t work. So when that failed I went on a mission to … Read more
When I was a young guy I was looking for the easiest way to pack on some muscle and lose fat. I found an old rowing machine in my basement and, once I figured out that it wasn’t a weird old bench press machine, I hopped on to get a workout. It seemed way too … Read more
When I first decided to get back into riding, I looked high and low for a bike that would support my weight. Finding a bike as a big guy wasn’t easy, but I finally managed to find one with a frame rated for over 350 pounds (read about the bike here). The first time I … Read more

I’m still to fat to see the numbers on my bathroom scale…” “Wait…they don’t make scales for obese people?” Weighing yourself when you’re big and heavy can be a serious challenge. The problem is, if you can’t weigh yourself, it’s extremely … Read more
I’ve always had a penchant for kayaking, paddleboards, and other watersports. Unfortunately, I also have a serious problem. I’m terrible in the water. I somehow suck at both swimming and diving. I’ve seriously always swum like an obese duck that ate a large rock. You can usually find me with my head about 6 inches … Read more
There is nothing quite as relaxing as sitting in a rocking chair on your porch. Unless, of course, your rocking chair experience is accompanied by creaks, groans, and the imminent prospect of your rocking chair collapsing and possibly impaling your leg with a shard of wood. The best outdoor rocking chairs are designed in a … Read more
