Larry Owen joins me on this week's new episode as we discuss his journey from starting his weight loss journey too heavy for his doctor's scale (480lb max!) to living a sustainable ketogenic lifestyle 280 pounds lighter. We talk about the impact of generational trauma and childhood food insecurity on our relationship with food. When Larry discovered keto and intermittent fasting he found the tools he needed to build the life he was after.

This week is the second part of my 50th Birthday Celebration here on the podcast! It is a follower Q&A that features questions about me and about the many topics this forum dives into. I get into how I am doing now, the story behind that infamous frosting pic, handling late night eating and what happens when you want to be something that you are not. I hope that you will enjoy this episode and what's to come as we approach the show's 4th Anniversary this summer!

Matt Mauro joins me on this week's Forum to talk about how he realized he was sleepwalking his way through life and needed to wake himself up to make change. In his own words he shares his struggles and the decisions that brought him to using the tool he did. His mission now is to inspire others and I think you will certainly be so after you hear his story.

Dave Fennell joins me on this week's new episode. We discuss the ups and downs of his weight loss journey, including seeing over 500 pounds on the scale and realizing that he had to be honest with himself in the end. We also discuss his controversial Instagram handle, @fatpeopleareliars, which is actually less about judging others and more about judging himself. It's a hard but important discussion on the role of trauma, healing, truth and lies during a weight loss journey.

Jade Wurth had struggled with his weight for much of his life but in 2019 after an injury sent him to a very dark place personally he topped 400 pounds on the scale, in addition to battling with drugs and alcohol. He joins me this week to talk about his journey out of that dark place mentally and into a spot where he chooses himself and his health over the comforts of addiction.

Take a seat and get ready for a truly amazing story as Justin Willoughby shares his journey. Justin was 799 pounds at age 16. Not a typo, or exaggeration, but a harsh truth he was living and not ready to face. But face it he did, taking one step at a time to reclaim his life. We're twenty years from that weigh in and Justin is still thriving and using his experiences to help other people who understand what feeling trapped in your body is like. I am excited we got the chance to sit down and talk in the new episode!

Justin Claypool joins me on this week's new episode of the Fat Guy Forum as we dive into the ups and downs of his health journey. Justin shares his very relatable story of the ebbs and flow of a weight loss journey where you continue to learn from the tools you use, handle periods of straight up complacency, and find the drive to get focused again. It is a story you may personally relate to and I hope his insights will carry the message that the peaks and valleys are normal. The key to success is not allowing yourself to become completely complacent. Justin's perspective on it all has helped him and will inspire you!
