There's a reason you're fat -- you want to be

October 24, 2007 - 8:00pm — Mathias Baden

I heard this on the radio last week: "There's a reason you're fat -- you want to be."


40 days, 40 bites: By the numbers

October 9, 2007 - 12:37pm — Brandon

Well, one day into week two and I’m already falling behind schedule. With five dishes in the pan, so to speak, I’ve got 35 to go and only 31 days to make and eat those recipes.


Let the aches and pains begin

April 16, 2007 - 9:43am — Brandon

The first practice of my summer softball league career was yesterday, and I can barely move.


Giving up TV

April 2, 2007 - 5:08pm — Brandon

I’m planning on giving up TV for a week, starting at about 10 p.m. Wednesday night (or whenever I finish watching this week’s episode of "Lost").


Are you a big loser?

January 5, 2007 - 1:39pm — Brandon

I ate breakfast today. This isn’t exactly earth-shattering news, I know, but it marks a big change for me.

I usually eat about one meal a day, and it ends up being much too large a meal. My family and I decided to start a "Biggest Loser" competition – where the person who loses the most weight in 2007 is the big winner. (You can read about a Shakopee resident who was part of NBC's "The Biggest Loser" reality show in the Jan. 4 edition of the Shakopee Valley News). The competition started in January, and my goal is to drop about 50 pounds by the end of the year. I intend to win whatever it is my sister and I come up with as our top prize. I also intend to win some of the monthly gift certificate prizes.
