Hosted by Daniel M. Clark from November 2010 to March 2012, YAWLS chronicled a quest to drop fifty pounds and get into better physical shape. The debut episode laid out all the expectations and ground rules, and the cancelation notice explained the reasons for the demise of the show. The quest is not over though, and Geek Dads Weekly began featuring periodic segments dealing with the mission beginning in April 2012.

Yet Another Weight Loss Show has been canceled. The show debuted in November, 2010 as a sort-of diary of my weight loss efforts. I began at 249 pounds and achieved a low point of 222 pounds. I am now back up at 250 pounds, for a variety of reasons. The show was canceled because really, who wants to listen to a weight loss show in which the host keeps reporting that he’s gaining weight? What I went through over the past 16 months or so may be completely normal – weight fluctuation is extremely common when people attempt to lose a large amount of weight – but just because it’s normal doesn’t mean it makes for a good podcast.
My weight loss efforts, such as they are, will be the subject of a periodic segment on Geek Dads Weekly from this point forward.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.

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.
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.
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.
