Learning to dress flatteringly is a huge step forward for most big guys. Learn what jeans fit your big thighs, how to hide your moobs, etc.
I don’t think a guy can go more than a couple of months without being asked how many pushups he can do. Especially if you are a fat guy (like me) and work with a super fit guy (like Dave). I guess I’m just easy pickings to make himself look better. Freaking Dave. I guess …
As a fat guy, I know how difficult it can be to find a community of people who understand me and my approach to life. There are, of course, many people who think they understand what it’s like to be fat. But they’re all personal trainers who tell me how bad it sucks to be …
When I first started getting into lifting weights I didn’t realize that I didn’t need to eat the entire McDonald’s menu to gain “muscle”. Within two years of discovering the high school weight room, I had worked my way up to 265 pounds. Not the best idea. At this same time, I was also going …
So you’ve finally found yourself a pair of shoes that fit…at least mostly. Or maybe they just look awesome. Either way, after wearing them for a day, your feet are screaming in protest. They aren’t supportive, they have an odd shape, they have no cushion…the list of what can be wrong with a shoe is …
Whether you call them man-boobs, moobs, gynecomastia, or breasticles they have the power to make just about every guy want to shrivel up and hide. The problem is, if you have them, there may not be all that much you can do to get rid of them. So you’ll have to do what the rest …

Working with and finding clothes within the realm of larger sizes can easily be one of the more complicated and frustrating things to do. Not only are plus-size clothes difficult to find (for both men and women) but, once you do find them, the sizing is inconsistent and confusing. For example, I always thought 2XL …
If shoes make the man, then I have always struggled to find my manhood. In the past, when I have found a pair of dress shoes that actually fit, I wear them until they literally fall off my feet, or the soles are so full of holes I might as well be wearing sandals or …
As a fat guy, buying clothes is often difficult for me. It’s hard to find stuff that fits and makes me look good (or at least makes me feel good). I always have to go look in the “big and tall” section and hope I can find something that fits me reasonably well. Sometimes, though, …
When I first met my wife I was wearing skinny jeans and a denim jacket. Of course, that was more than 100 pounds ago. But then, like most guys, I continued dressing the exact same way for the next decade. I had always been on the receiving end of snide remarks about my skinny jeans …
