FatDad to the Rescue!
It all started with a simply essay to KPIX's Evening Magazine. They were searching the Bay Area for four people to participate in their new Get Fit With Malou program. "Just go to our website and tell us why we should pick you..". So I did.

I began my essay by annointing myself FatDad. I also mentioned that while using my stomach as a resting device for the TV remote is convienent, it certainly lacks a bit of grace.

At the end of their search, they received over 800 submissions. Of the 800, 75 of us were invited to a mixer where our pictures were taken, and we chatted with a group of KPIX/24 Hour Fitness folks. Of the 75, 20 of us were selected to be interviewed by KPIX producers at their studios in San Francisco. Within three hours of my one-on-one interview in San Francisco, I got a call telling me I was selected!

Let the Weighting Begin
The first broadcast was on October 8th, 2003. There, the four of us were introduced (along with our trainers (Adam Thompson was orignially mine, now it's Kimberly Epps)), our vitals were broadcast for the world to see (charming), and we began our one-year journey to blissful fat loss!

Beginning on October 17th, 2003, and on every Wednesday thereafter, one of us will be the featured GFWM participant. Below you will find links to each video clip of my ongoing saga.
