From Frumpy to Fit: The Ultimate Guide to Overcoming the Soft Suburban Dad Lifestyle

I was a fat and frumpy. In 2006, approximately 10 months after the birth of my first son, Nathan, my health had spiraled out of control. I was eating way too much (all that comfort food with my wife during the pregnancy months), drinking too frequently, and doing the same workouts, session after session. I was stuck in a rut. My 5’ 10” frame was at 198 pounds—and not a good 198.

I had become a soft suburban dad.

This was a critical moment in my life’s journey. I could either succumb to the soft suburban dad lifestyle, or double down on my health and make serious changes. I doubled down.

By committing to what is now the 13 Pounds in 30 Days Weight Loss Program, I dropped 13 pounds of fat and transformed my life. I went from being the typical frumpy dad on the sidelines, to the athletic looking young man I was 15 years earlier.

This transformation radically changed my confidence, temperament, and energy levels. My happiness has improved. I wake up with a smile, feeling rested and energetic—ready to tackle the day. I am active at work and with the family for 16 solid hours without needing caffeine or other performance enhancing drugs.

My productivity has skyrocketed and my brain feels clear and calm. My sex life has improved. And my relationship with my wife has flourished, despite the many challenges that a growing family faces.

I truly feel great!
