Your Eating Solution with Dave Barnas – Yet Another Weight Loss Show #33 | For the second episode in a row, I've got a guest on the show! Joining me is Dave Barnas, author of a trio of health and exercise books. He's on to talk about his career and writing, and to answer a few questions about my own efforts and conditions, including back pain and chiropractic. | 2/24/12 | Free | View In iTunes |

Catching Up With Vinny O’Hare – Yet Another Weight Loss Show #32 | It's rare that I bring a guest on this show, but my guest this time has been on twice. Vinny O'Hare is a fitness mission of his own, and he's on the show to compare notes with me. We talked about cycling, dealing with the weather, gym memberships, dietary concerns and lots more. | 2/22/12 | Free | View In iTunes |

Feeling the Turning Point – Yet Another Weight Loss Show #31 | This episode is all about turning points. I successfully quit smoking years ago after a long period of minor successes and failures, and much like smoking, quitting eating (so to speak) is a real trial. I know that if I can apply the same principles to one, I can have success with the other, and that's where I am right now. | 2/15/12 | Free | View In iTunes |

Nothing to Say… For 30 Minutes – Yet Another Weight Loss Show #30 | I was a little more than 45 minutes late doing this episode live, because I decided not to skip it altogether after all. I was going to skip because I didn't think I had anything to say this week. Turns out, I did. I had about a half hour's worth of things to say, apparently! | 1/27/12 | Free | View In iTunes |

Let’s Keep it Going! – Yet Another Weight Loss Show #29 | I'm back on the bike! After a really rough holiday season followed by a week in Sin City, I thought I was doomed. But you know… I'm not. I'm really not. I'm feeling better than I have in months, I got back on the bike earlier tonight for the first time since… November maybe? and my outlook hasn't been this good in a long time. | 1/20/12 | Free | View In iTunes |

Nothing Good – Yet Another Weight Loss Show #28 | Title says it all. Nothing good this week. It's a very short episode and I'm investigating the possibility that I have an actual food addiction. I explain my thoughts about that during the episode, but it boils down to the fact that I can't always stop myself from eating. Sounds like an addiction to me. I'll have an update about that next week. | 12/15/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

Two in a Row – Yet Another Weight Loss Show #27 | See? I told you I would be back on track. There's no change this week as I clocked in at 235, but like I said on the show, I consider that somewhat of a win. If I'm not down, at least I'm not up. In this episode I talk about how holidays and weather have been affecting my exercise and diet and what I can do about that. Also, my pocket queens get busted by ace-six in the most improbable way.

Making Excuses – 235 – Yet Another Weight Loss Show #26 | In this episode I break down and explain why this show has been so sporadic for the past couple of months. I promised at the beginning of the series that I would share my ups and my downs with you, and I reneged on that promise recently. I am turning that around now. | 12/2/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

It’s Not as Bad as it Seems – Yet Another Weight Loss Show #25 | After a little time off I'm back with an episode of YAWLS in which I talk about a slight backslide on the scale, tracking my intake and my excellent new bike courtesy of my super-cool new sponsor, JensonUSA. | 11/4/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

Yet Another Weight Loss Show #24 – 228 – Wheeeee! | It's a fun little episode this time, though perhaps a little less coherent than I usually try to be. I was a little loopy. Weight-wise, not a tremendous change from the week before, but a little change - and a little [positive] change is a better than none at all. | 10/18/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

Yet Another Weight Loss Show #23 – Back in the Saddle Again | After a week without a bicycle - my main form of exercise - and some pretty poor eating choices, I was feeling pretty blah. So much so that I forgot to weigh in because I was so far out of "weight loss mode". All was not lost, however, as I explain on the show. | 10/8/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

Yet Another Weight Loss Show #22 – 229 – A New Metabolism | I'm the lightest I've been since June, 2011. I'm feeling good. Really good. In this episode, all the reasons I was able to drop 3 pounds between last week's show and today. | 9/30/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

Yet Another Weight Loss Show #21 – 232 – Steady | I weighed in at the same number as last week, which I'll call a small victory. It beats one alternative - I could have gained. I didn't have a good week, though, overall. | 9/22/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

Yet Another Weight Loss Show #20 – 232 – What Are You Doing on a Bike? | It was a good week, full of exercise and weight loss. There's not much more I could ask for. Or is there? | 9/18/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

Yet Another Weight Loss Show #19 – 234 – Down in More Ways Than One | I don't know what it is, but I'm not feeling quite right. The show went well, I perked up after a few minutes, and it's great that I'm down a few pounds since the last episode, but... for some reason I'm just not feeling quite right. | 9/9/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

Yet Another Weight Loss Show #18 – 237 – Extenuating Circumstances | I'm back after an extended time away from the microphone due to family and business travel. It looks like I'm in worse shape than before, but things are not always what they seem. | 8/27/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

Yet Another Weight Loss Show #15 – 233 – Up and Down and All Around | In addition to the update on my own weight loss journey, this episode brings good news.

Yet Another Weight Loss Show #14 – 233 – Endings and Beginnings | It's a quick episode this week as I catch you up on my progress - and there's progress this week! Actual weight loss! Sweet! Along with the progress report is the news that the Road to Thin podcast and website have been shelved. In its wake will come a new group weight loss project, this time with about 8 people led by a trainer who has, himself, lost over 60 pounds. Leadership, FTW!

Yet Another Weight Loss Show #13 – 235 – What Happened? | This has not been a good week. I knew when I woke up this morning that if I stepped on the scale, it would be higher than the last time I checked, but I wasn't prepared for it to tell me that I'd gained nearly five pounds this week. That's disheartening, embarrassing and unacceptable. I know why it happened... for the past several weeks, I have had zero willpower over snacks. If this body project of mine is going to succeed, I need to find that willpower. I need to turn this around before I undo everything that I've done so far. I started at 250. Dropped to 222. Now I'm halfway back at 235. Un-freakin'-acceptable. I have two challenges going on right now, both of which I'm losing. The first is at Road to Thin, where we have decided to see who could drop the most weight as a percentage of starting weight by August 30th. The second challenge was issued by Jared Saunders on episode 17 of Inside Internet Marketing. We're both going to drop 15 pounds before Affiliate Summit in August. Of course, that's when I was 230, so now I've got 20 to drop instead of 15. Ugh. I think I'll go to the garage and see how much work my bike needs to be street-worthy.

Yet Another Weight Loss Show #12.1 – 230 – Live on Tape | Part of the QAQN: Rebirth initiative, this episode of Yet Another Weight Loss Show is a great jumping on point for new listeners. Two important things happen with this episode. First, I recap and summarize everything that this show is about to make it accessible to everyone. I give a backstory of my health and body issues and bring everyone up to speed on what I'm doing now in the effort to lose weight and get into better shape. The second important thing is that this episode was broadcast on Ustream live. It was a test, really. I didn't announce it, and only invited two people to watch because I've never done a live stream and didn't want a bunch of people watching me screw up the first one - which I did. You'll hear it. But all in all, I really enjoyed it, and I'm pretty sure I know how to avoid the glitch that plagued me during this episode, so I'll be streaming the rest of my shows from now on... unless I'm not feeling pretty, in which case I might just stick to audio. As far as the current weight... yeah, I'm up a bit. My low, which I don't believe I recorded in an episode, was 222. So I'm up about 8 pounds from my low. I'm not unaware of it though, which means I can fight it. I know what I'm doing wrong... I need to get back to smaller portions and eating less. I'm also gearing up - pun totally intended - for bike riding. The new goal (since this is a reboot and the "on a mission to drop 50 pounds no longer technically applies) is to lose 30 pounds. Short term, I'm aiming for 15 by the time Affiliate Summit comes up in mid/late August. The other 15, by the end of the year. I'll have more updates on my progress next week!

Yet Another Weight Loss Show #12 – 224 – The Secret to Weight Loss, Again! | It's been three weeks since the last episode... three weeks and ten pounds! How do I drop more than three pounds per week (average)? Simple! Illness! | 4/12/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

Yet Another Weight Loss Show #11 – 234 – A Near Miss | It was a close one this time! This episode breaks my streak of consistent weight loss, but hey, at least I didn't gain. I call it a near miss because I came in at 234.0 on the scale. Just a tenth of a pound more and I could have reported 233 (yes, I remove the decimal when I report my weight here).

Yet Another Weight Loss Show #9 – 235 – Still Winning | Here we are on the ninth episode of Yet Another Weight Loss Show, and it's my third consecutive check-in with a loss. It almost wasn't - yesterday I weighed in at 236 for our Road to Thin podcast, today I came in at 235. Well, no matter - I'll take it! | 3/6/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

Yet Another Weight Loss Show #8 – 236 – Fast Food, Poison | In this episode, I focus on two things. First, how I dropped four pounds in a week - without being sick. My body was in weight-loss mode after being ill a couple of weeks ago, and I managed to keep it in that mode after I got well. I didn't start any special diet, either... I just ate less and ate better. The second thing is the story of the time I broke down and went through the McDonald's drive-through last week and the gall bladder attack that it triggered. | 2/27/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

Yet Another Weight Loss Show #7 – 240 – The Secret to Weight Loss, Discovered! | I'm back after a two-week absence with a new episode! Why the missed week?

Yet Another Weight Loss Show #6 – Sort of Starting Over | Another week, another episode of Yet Another Weight Loss Show. This is a somewhat abbreviated show because there's not much to report. I'm not up, I'm not down; I broke even this week. Tomorrow is Super Bowl Sunday (is the NFL going to come after me for trademark infringement? Should I have called it "The Big Game"?). On Monday, I'll be starting the South Beach Diet. I know, I know. I said at the beginning of al l this that I wouldn't be doing fad diets. Well, I don't consider South Beach a fad diet, and I've had success with it in the past, so I'm giving it another go. This time, I'll stick to it. Hope you have a great The Big Game Sunday. See you next weekend! | 2/5/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

Yet Another Weight Loss Show #5 – 245 – A Definite Trend | This week marks another episode in my downward trend. All the numbers have been going down so far, which, I have to admit, isn't really telling the whole story. There was that big gap between episodes 3 and 4, and I know I gained during that time but then lost it between recordings. Still, there is a definite trend here, and I'm feeling more confident - and hydrated - than ever. Water is the big deal this time, and I described how I'm doing with that. Also, I had a follow-up visit with the doctor last week to talk about the test results from my EGD and what I can do about my new medical problems. He's got me on a pretty general, yet effective, diet now. I still wish he'd given me a menu to use, but giving me a list of foods to use as a foundation for my own menu is okay, too. This show is no longer a Saturday night show - it's simply a weekend show. New episodes will be recorded on Saturdays or Sundays and will be posted every Sunday. That way I can plan for recording when Angela is home from work (almost always one of those two days) and she can watch the kids while I retreat to my pseudo-studio to record.

Yet Another Weight Loss Show #4 – 247 – New Medical Problems | Stop the presses! It's a new episode of Yet Another Weight Loss Show! It's been over a month since the last episode, and I blame... myself. I didn't take the time to record because it seemed like something was always coming up and getting in the way. Well, today I rambled into the microphone for 17 minutes and called it a show. It stems from a discussion I had with the guys on Road To Thin earlier in the day. Enjoy, and I'll see you next week for episode five - really, I will! | 1/22/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

Yet Another Weight Loss Show #3 – 248 – Holding Steady | I'm back after missing an episode last week, so you're getting two for the price of one this time - and who doesn't love a deal like that? I've got some notes from the show I was going to do last Saturday, and they are these: I dropped a pound! Scream it from the mountaintops, I dropped a pound! No, it doesn't seem like much. No, it's not as dramatic as the 5 that I lost in one week a while back (the first week that I tried South Beach). It doesn't seem like a big deal... and it's not. It's not a big deal, but it's a fairly good-sized deal. It's a healthy amount of weight to lose in a week, and I wasn't miserable all week denying myself foods that I normally enjoy. I'm still off the fast food, and I - for the most part - didn't snack on things that I intended to drop. Last week I said that I was going to cut out things like potato and tortilla chips, certain crackers, and other snacks that aren't particularly healthy. This week was good as far as that goes, but I did eat some tortilla chips on the side of a taco salad that I made for dinner one night. And that's the lesson of the week. You don't need to completely eliminate foods from your diet. A handful of chips with the meal? Cool. A bag of chips sitting on the couch watching TV? Not cool. Since last Saturday, things haven't been so smooth. I caved a few times and hit the drive-thru, though my snacking habits got fairly turned around for the better. I'm still at 248, so at least I didn't go up, but all in all, it was not a great week. I examined the differences in my experience with smoking cessation and weight loss, and also mentioned The Great American Detox Diet (written by Alex Jamieson, whose name I couldn't recall during the recording). So I'm not making huge progress, but holding steady is better than going in the wrong direction. Starting tomorrow, it's all about renewing the committment and working out my triggers when it comes to fast food as well as starting on portion control and calorie counting using the Lose It! app for iPhone. I wrapped the show with Road to Thin, another weight loss project that I'm involved with. It's definitely worth a look, and we'd love to hear what you think of it. The call-in line is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and I would love to hear your thoughts about what I'm doing at any stage of the game. Please feel free to leave a voicemail. The number is 281-826-2112, and if you'll just tell me your name and where you're from, that would be very, very appreciated.

Yet Another Weight Loss Show #2 – 249 – I Survived Thanksgiving | There was no change in my weight this week, despite a fairly major change in my diet. For the first time in many, many months, I went a week without a bite of fast food. It's not the first time that I've done this - in fact, any time I've ever lost any kind of weight it was during a period where I laid off the fast food. I always went back to it eventually. Twice a week for lunch... swing through the drive-thru three times a week for breakfast... but no longer. I ate responsibly at Thanksgiving. While many people stuff themselves as full of carbs and tryptophan as possible, I actually ate no more than I would at any other meal on any other day. Couple of slices of turkey breast, a bit of dark meat, a little mashed potato and some awesome cauliflower that I made up. I might post the recipe for that later on. That was all. I didn't go nuts. Well, I did eat a couple of bites of cake afterward - literally, bites. My mom made this cake balls that were really great. They're about the size of a golf ball and instead of frosting, you dip the ball-shaped cake in white chocolate and let it harden. Kinda like a chocolate covered strawberry, except with cake. I ate two. Pretty modest for Thanksgiving, right? So, that was my only life-change this past week. Fast food is officially out. Everything else remained the same. Next week, starting tomorrow, I begin with another piece of the puzzle: changing my snacks at home. Gone will be the white-flour crackers, corn chips and other not-so-great items. After that comes the really hard part - counting calories and changing my meal-time food choices. What about exercising? I didn't do any this week aside from a lot of walking around at the zoo on Wednesday. That's another piece of the puzzle that will be implemented at a specific time. Also on the podcast: I described how I got into the shape that I'm in. Lastly, my apologies for the quality of the audio in this episode. It's not as good as I would like it to be because I had to record in a room of the apartment that isn't acoustically friendly to podcasting. If I wasn't on a schedule, I might have put off recording until I could be in my normal location, but alas, it was not to be. Next week will be back to my normally clear audio quality. | 11/27/10 | Free | View In iTunes |

Yet Another Weight Loss Show #1 – 249 – The Beginning | This is the inaugural episode of another new QAQN production: Yet Another Weight Loss Show. Isn't that what the world really needs? Yet another one? Well, here it is! Being the geek that I am, I get excited about new gadgets and technology. When I first got my iPhone, I installed the Lose It! app, and started tracking what I was eating. I lost 20 pounds doing that. These days, I've found my passion for podcasting, and I'm using that as a means to geek out over losing weight and getting into better shape. This first episode didn't cover a few things that I had meant to cover. Chalk it up to ill preparation, I suppose - I thought I had everything at the forefront of my mind. But there are points that I want to address here in the show notes to go along with the episode that you are listening (or are about to listen) to. Next week I'll bullet point the things I want to talk about beforehand. First, no fad diets. No Atkins, no South Beach, no this, no that. Less food (and better food) and more exercise. That's the deal. Second, I'm not doing this for cosmetic reasons. I think I look okay, and I'm losing weight because I have medical reasons to do so. I will detail those reasons on next week's show, but I wanted to state up front that I'm not doing this [entirely] because of the way I look. Lastly, the call-in line is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and I would love to hear your thoughts about what I'm doing at any stage of the game. Please feel free to leave a voicemail. The number is 281-826-2112, and if you'll just tell me your name and where you're from, that would be very, very appreciated. Thanks for listening! | 11/20/10 | Free | View In iTunes |
