My Million-Dollar Dad

Posted by: | June 16th, 2012 | 2 comments

When my dad, Michael Lamb, began his weight loss journey for the Dr. Oz Transformation Nation Million Dollar You Challenge back in September, I have to admit I was skeptical. This was not my dad’s first attempt at weight loss, and I wasn’t sure it would be the last, as he had been a chronic yo-yo dieter throughout my childhood.

He would always appear to eat well-balanced meals, but I can’t even begin to count the number of times I would catch him eating HoHos or my mom’s German chocolate cake when no one else was around.

Posted by: | May 30th, 2012 | 2 comments

A year ago, the title of this blog would have been "Big Bob's Adventure.” That's how I saw myself, and that's how others often referred to me. But last June, I decided I had finally had it with being Big Bob. I had blossomed to a robust 353 pounds and was genuinely unhappy. I decided to join Weight Watchers with the encouragement and commitment of a caring friend—and Bob's Big Adventure began. Shortly after, I joined Sharecare as a senior product designer. Both decisions have changed my life. View Full Post
