🚨 WEIGH IN 33 🚨 •290.8 pounds (ATH 530+ pounds) •Frank has lost 250+ pounds •We’ve officially hit the “Diet Wall” Any health journey will have setbacks, include moments of adversity, and ultimately hit walls. Frank’s journey is no different. The important thing is how you RESPOND to setbacks or moments of stagnation, opposed to wallowing in it. Frank has bounced between 278-292 pounds over the last 6 months. His step count remains well over 20K per day and he has been lifting weights 3X per week since Arnold taught him how over Christmas break. Frank has put on significant muscle and looks great, but he can still lower his BMI. And he’ll need to before going forward with a potential skin removal procedure. To break through the wall of this current 278-290 pound plateau, Frank must level up his discipline on diet. The good news is Frank is completely honest about his eating habits and owns it when he messes up. No excuses. No denial. We have talked it out at length how Frank is learning the hard way that at a certain point, you can’t out walk or out lift a bad diet. The challenge going forward is Frank channeling the ferocious discipline he has applied to his exercise regiment and to his diet. Frank will never be a salad guy (or humus) but he knows he can make better decisions throughout the day and night from baseline meals to snacks to drink choices. This wall is going to be extremely hard to break though, but I know Frank can do it. Just gotta take that sledgehammer and start swinging. The first few hits might not even make a dent, but with consistent pressure and focus THE WALL WILL FALL. Time to lock in. Anudder weigh in in the books

🚨 WEIGH IN 32 🚨 •285.7 pounds (ATH 530+ pounds) •Frank has lost 250+ pounds overall This week, Frank had his blood drawn and got a full report from his doctor. The results speak for themself: When Frank was 530 pounds+ / A1C 11+: •High risk of premature death •High risk of stroke •High risk of stroke •High risk of kidney disease •High risk of vision loss •High risk of neuropathy •A LOT of medications This week’s doctor report results: •Blood sugar: A1C 5.5 (normal) •Lost 250+ pounds overall •All medications lowered or stopped •Moving toward diabetic remission —Biggest update: Frank’s BMI is now 43.5 down from 69.9 in 2020 that’s a 37% reduction under 6 years! This is almost UNHEARD OF. Taking all of this into account, Frank has added QUALITY YEARS to his life. Frank’s doctor also gave Frank a referral for a consultancy on plastic surgery for his excess skin. His excess skin likely weighs at least 30 pounds, which means he’s probably already around 250 pounds. Frank came in to work looking a bit dejected about weigh in today. He always wants to lose big numbers to inspire his fans and doesn’t want to let anyone down. He expected to be about flat. I continue to impress upon him that he is past the era of shredding pure fat and is now building foundational muscle around his body. Frank’s weight has consistently fluctuated between 279-284 over the last couple of months. His diet has been good and obviously his walking and lifting have been consistent, so lack of weight loss has not been a concern. He even hit 3 30K step days this week. As we suspected, the plateauing weight is due to Frank rapidly gaining muscle faster than he is losing fat. He has been lifting weights 3X per week for almost 6 months and the results are hitting. His muscle development is clear in both appearance and increased strength + agility. In the Frankie Fitness videos, you can see Frank beginning to really struggle at the end of sets with significantly improved form (core strength). SO SO SO PROUD OF FRANKIE … I know he prefers seeing massive weight loss weigh ins, but his body is transforming in the best, natural, healthy way. His wins are more complex and substantial than just weight loss now. And by the end of our walk through the NYC sweltering heat, he agreed and smirked. Anudder weigh in in the books

🚨 EMERGENCY WEIGH IN 29🚨 ANUDDER NEW BEST!!!!!!!! •278.6 pounds (ATH 530+ pounds) •Blood sugar: A1C 5.4% (ATH 11.1%) •Frank has lost 250+ pounds overall! •Inching toward diabetic remission! After Frank’s 4th workout of the day (morning pump , DDPYOGA, walked 20K steps, night pump) … Frank eyeballed DDP’s glorious title belts on the wall of his entrance to his epic gym and the “pro-grade” scale (same as Frank’s at home) and called for an emergency weigh in. The cardio, weight lifting, and now stretching are showing compounding results. A more disciplined diet is also taking shape month by month. And he continues to lose weight while gaining muscle. Which ain’t easy. But what I notice most, is Frank is transforming mentally equally to physically. The usual suspects (sports teams, NJ Transit, cones, etc.) will still set him off, but Frank’s baseline has completely changed. He doesn’t live from a place of fear and defense anymore, he’s confident and aggressively optimistic about trying new things and testing himself. Frank is now in the 270 club and carrying 20-40 pounds of excess skin. If he can do it, anyone can. Congrats, Frankie Anudder weigh in in the books

🚨WEIGH IN 28🚨 BEST WEIGH IN YET!!!!!!!! •284.2 pounds (ATH 530+) •Blood sugar: A1C 5.4% (ATH 11.1%) •Frank has lost 245+ pounds overall (and is carrying 20-40 pounds of excess skin) Frank has been lifting weights three times a week with me since Arnold Schwarzenegger got him started over Christmas. His progress has been fantastic and we can already see improvements in his functional strength. He is also using treadmills occasionally, a machine he used to fear like the plague. The gym once seemed impossible to Frank, now it is part of his routine. The weight lifting is already adding muscle which adds bodyweight as he drops fat. This means his weight loss slowing down is not a regression, his body is transforming from Frank the Tank into Frankie Fitness. It’s been incredibly impressive and painful to join Frank on 3 mile walks through this brutal winter. It’s making him crankie, but it’s still impressive as hell that he’ll never miss a day. Today, we filmed our first ever Frank Lifts with Joba Chamberlain, which showcased Frank’s confidence and comfortability in the gym after just a few weeks. It is hard to imagine what the final outcome will be, knowing Frank is committed to fulfill his promise to Arnold: “INSPIRE MILLIONS!” Crazy to think if Frank got skin surgery done he might 242 pounds! Congrats, Frankie Fitness Here is the documented journey: Frank was 530+ pounds in 2016 (scale couldn’t go higher). His monthly progress since we started Frank Walks (858 days in a row and counting): 383 pounds before walking daily Weigh in 1: 373 pounds Weigh in 2: 352 pounds Weigh in 3: 343 pounds Weigh in 4: 340 pounds Weigh in 5: 339 pounds Weigh in 6: 333.8 pounds Weigh in 7: 331 pounds Weigh in 8: 323.8 pounds Weigh in 9: 319.8 pounds Weigh in 10: 324 pounds Weigh in 11: 330 pounds Weigh in 12: 327.8 pounds Weigh in 13: 318.5 pounds Weigh in 14: 321.8 pounds Weigh in 15: 326 pounds Weigh in 16: 314 pounds Weigh in 17: 316 pounds Weigh in 18: 312.5 pounds Weigh in 19: 315 pounds Weigh in 20: 307.5 pounds Weigh in 21: 306 pounds Weigh in 22: 297.8 pounds Weigh in 23: 296.4 pounds Weigh in 24: 291.8 pounds Weigh in 25: 294 pounds Weigh in 26: 290 pounds Weigh in 27: 285.2 pounds Weigh in 28: 284.2 pounds Anudder weigh in in the books

🚨 WEIGH IN 31🚨 •283.9 pounds (ATH 530+ pounds) •Blood sugar: A1C 5.4% (ATH 11.1%) •Frank has lost 250+ pounds overall •Inching toward diabetic remission •Doctor discontinued Frank’s fenofibrate medication because his triglycerides have plummeted from deadly levels to normal Frank gained back ~4 pounds this month. The silver lining is that about halfway through the month he was all the way back up to 295 pounds (+16 lbs). Overwhelmed with stress, Frank resorted to some of his old bad habits with late night snacking. He knew he wasn’t on track, let me know, and then managed to turn the month around; losing about 10 pounds in the last 10 days. He is definitely adding muscle with his weight lifting, but Frank is very honest about his journey and is adamant he knows he f*cked up with diet the first half of the month. No excuses, we can’t get off to bad starts, but it was impressive to see Frank’s resiliency persevere once again. Frank hasn’t missed a day walking or lifting, it’s time to lock back in on diet & sustain it. Anudder weigh in in the books

🚨 WEIGH IN 30🚨 REMAINS IN 270 CLUB •279.8 pounds (ATH 530+) •Blood sugar: A1C 5.4 (ATH 11+) •Frank down 250+ pounds overall! •Inching toward diabetic remission •Crossed 2 million steps in 2026 •Pacing for 8 million steps (goal) Frank had one of the most challenging months of his life and took no days off. Exercise wasn’t an added burden, but a refuge. Lifting weights 3 days a week compounded with 22K steps per day for 3 months has taken Frank’s health to annuder level. His strength, mobility, and flexibility continue to improve as Frank puts on muscle, which weighs more than fat. We are entering an exciting part of this epic journey where Frank might plateau in weight as fat is rapidly replaced by muscle. AI says Frank could be carrying 20-40 lbs of excess skin at this point. Imagine an immediate drop to 249 when he gets the skin surgery. Insane. Frank asked me to thank all of you for the support you’ve shown him, always, but especially this month. He never could’ve imagined having Tank’s Army in his corner, pushing him to be great everyday. The craziest part is he is just getting started. Anudder weigh in in the books

🚨 FRANK HAS ENTERED PARTIAL DIABETIC REMISSION 👏 Frank’s weight loss of over 230 lbs from his all time high and physical transformation garners most of the spotlight. But maybe even more remarkable is how Frank’s A1C was a deadly 11%+ & has dropped to & maintained a pre-diabetic level of 5.7%. I didn’t even know it was possible, but Frank is steadily beating his diabetes toward “complete remission”. He was literally on death’s doorstep and is now in “partial remission”. ~34 million Americans are battling diabetes and it’s rising. ~88 million Americans have pre-diabetes. Frank can be a massive pain in the ass, but it’s hard not to find his story inspiring. Anyone can do it, and Frank is the living proof. He started at 47 years old and has potentially added decades to his life. Congrats, Frank. Keep pushin’ 6/11/23 Frank takes his pills w cake:

🚨 Weigh in 21 🚨 ALL TIME LOW: 306 LBS FRANK HAS SHREDDED 220+ pounds Frank was 520+ pounds in 2016 (scale couldn’t go higher). Here is his monthly progress since we started Frank Walks (644 days in a row and counting): 383 pounds before walking daily Weigh in 1: 373 pounds Weigh in 2: 352 pounds Weigh in 3: 343 pounds Weigh in 4: 340 pounds Weigh in 5: 339 pounds Weigh in 6: 333.8 pounds Weigh in 7: 331 pounds Weigh in 8: 323.8 pounds Weigh in 9: 319.8 pounds Weigh in 10: 324 pounds Weigh in 11: 330 pounds Weigh in 12: 327.8 pounds Weigh in 13: 318.5 pounds Weigh in 14: 321.8 pounds Weigh in 15: 326 pounds Weigh in 16: 314 pounds Weigh in 17: 316 pounds Weigh in 18: 312.5 pounds Weigh in 19: 315 pounds Weigh in 20: 307.5 pounds Here are the results from weigh in 21: ◦306 pounds. FRANK HAS LOST 220+ POUNDS SINCE HIS ALL TIME HIGH ◦Blood sugar: A1C is 5.7% down from 11.1% (years of life expectancy 12+ 📈) I wish I had more details on his body composition but clearly he has turned loads of fat into muscle. We are focused on continuing to overhaul his diet and talk about it almost daily. I am sure I am annoying at times, but Frank needs to be pushed and challenged. If he is capable of completely changing his daily physical habits, he is capable of changing his diet. It has simply proven to be much more challenging. A couple of the biggest struggles are stress eating and discipline on boring days at home. Frank will crush unhealthy snacks after a Mets loss or if he is stuck in his house on a boring weekend with bad weather. He shot up to 315 this month but then locked in to close the month at an all time low. To anyone who makes food in the Belleville, NJ area, I am desperate to show Frank he has local options that cook both delicious and relatively healthy food. Same goes for anyone near MSG (lunch after walks). Frank’s energy, quickness, coordination, stamina, strength, flexibility, and confidence continue to increase with each passing step. Congratulations, Frank (even though I know you aren’t reading this). TANK299 feels imminent. Anudder weigh in in the books

Blog 52 🚨 Frank health update 🚨 Today, Frank and I went for our 32nd consecutive walk. We thought this would be a good milestone to review Frank’s health progress. Since we’ve started walking (32 days): ◦Weight loss: 361 down from 372 ◦Steps per day: 13K per day up from 5K per day ◦Sugar levels: Reached and maintained staying in “Green Zone” for two weeks going (was RARELY ever in green zone before) ◦Belt: Frank was forced to buy a new tighter belt ◦Energy: Frank feels improved daily energy ◦Stamina: Walks continue to increase in distance and pace with decreasing breaks ◦Pacing to lose 100-150 pounds in next 12 months This update is great, but it is only the start. The keys are consistency and enjoying the process to make the lifestyle change sustainable. You can tell from the video that Frank is not even close to satisfied. Frank once weighed 500 pounds and had a waist size of 69. He is unflappable in his commitment of never going back. Everyone’s encouragement has been absolute rocket fuel. Thank you, Tank’s Army. Today we did walk 32 at the St. Peter’s church in the rain. Frank’s Great Grand Mudder is buried there. The weather made it tough but we powered through and even stopped by Staples to hit our step count. We are now back at Frank’s and we are getting ready to watch the Dolphins and then head to the Devils game. It is a chaotic day. Thank you again to everyone supporting Frank as he pushes himself everyday to get healthier. It feels like we are all in it togedder. Anyone struggling to get a new routine going, try going for 1 walk and building from there. Rome wasn’t built in a day and something is always better than nothing. Thank you MikeyBets for coming up with this idea and pushing me to get us going. Anudder ♾️ days of walks 😤 coming right up.
