Hello! My name is Marco and I used to be a fat kid. Really. At age 19 and on a 5'9" frame, I weighed 240 lbs for a BMI of over 34. I was obese. The other kids made fun of me, girls would do anything not to be seen with me, adults looked disapprovingly.
Then I moved to go to college, fell in love, started eating more healthily, and lost it all. Seriously, within 6 months I had gotten rid of most of my excess fat. I underwent the probably most harmful diet since Fen-Phen, but at the end, the fat was gone.
Well, it wasn't really gone. To this day, I can gain 20 pounds in a single week if I don't watch it. So I had to learn how to manage my weight over the years. It helps that I am a very active person. It doesn't help that I have a sweet tooth.
This blog is about a regular guy and the lessons he learned in matters of weight management. I don't know it all, so bear with me once in a while. But I went through it, and I know your pain, and I've seen the light at the end of the tunnel.
Comments always welcome!

A fat child, I managed to lose the extra weight and live healthily ever after. As most fat kids that lose weight, though, I tend to gain it right back. So I learned a lot about managing weight over time - hope you find it useful!
