🚨 Weigh in 16 🚨 LOWEST WEIGH IN TO DATE! Before #FrankWalks, Frank had not been under 350 pounds in over 20 years and was 500+ pounds in 2016. Here is his monthly progress since we started walking (489 days in a row): Before FrankWalks : 383 pounds 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 Here are the results from weigh in 16: ◦314 pounds! Frank has lost 69 (shoutout Stuart Feiner) pounds since we started walking & 12 lbs this month ◦Blood sugar: A1C is 6.1% down from 10% (years of life expectancy 📈) ◦Diet: Diet remains the biggest challenge but big progress this month (1 Andy Cap Hot Fries little bag per day) It is FANTASTIC to see Frank bounce back with his lowest weigh in to date, after a couple of tough months. January has been brutal for walking outside in NYC & Chicago. But no excuses, he got the work done. Frank has increased his average daily step count to 15K+. It’s also obvious that Frank is building muscle and his entire body composition and athletic ability is transforming before our eyes. This could also partially explain the extended plateau over previous months. His diet struggles are an ongoing war of Frank vs Frank, but he is making strides in the right direction. Frank has 45 years of terrible eating habits, so changing it in a sustainable way has been incredibly difficult … but he is turning a corner. This was probably his best diet month to date as he dropped 12 pounds. Thank you Tank’s Army for your overwhelming support. Congrats, Frank!!!!!! I know how hard you are working and am so so so proud. Anudder weigh in in the books

🚨 Weigh in 19 🚨 Before #FrankWalks, Frank had not been under 350 pounds in over 20 years and was 500+ pounds in 2016. Here is his monthly progress since we started walking (583 days in a row): Before FrankWalks : 383 pounds 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 Here are the results from weigh in 19: ◦315 pounds. Frank has lost 68 pounds since we started walking. ◦Blood sugar: A1C is ~6% down from 10% (years of life expectancy 📈) ◦Diet: Diet remains the biggest challenge and THE blocker of the final breakthrough. After 45+ years of eating junk food, overhauling an entire diet sustainably takes a lot of patience and persistence No excuses, this wasn’t our best month. We need to lock in on diet. Frank is disappointed but knows he screwed up on diet this month and is owning it. Mikey and I are working hard on a plan. I do my best to remind Frank that if we zoom out, his progress is extraordinary and he continues to improve muscle growth, stamina, and overall athleticism everyday. And add YEARS to his life. Most people who lose a lot of weight struggle to keep it off. This is his 3rd lowest weigh in of 19. This is a lifetime sustainability mission, not a diet with a specific weight target. Lots of game left. The greatest reward of this crazy adventure is when we hear from Tank’s Army all kinds of stories of people who have decided to start walking or exercising because of Frank. This hasn’t been a story of easy win after easy win and the Frank Walks community has helped immensely, thank you. We have had setbacks and extremely tough stretches, but Frank always responds. That should be the key takeaway of this story: no matter how down you are, there is always an opportunity for redemption. Frank has been hovering over 300 for a couple of months now, and we can feel the inevitable breakthrough coming. We just gotta keep pushin’ on that mudderf*cking diet. Anudder weigh in in the books

🚨 Weigh in 18 🚨 LOWEST WEIGH IN TO DATE!!! Before #FrankWalks, Frank had not been under 350 pounds in over 20 years and was 500+ pounds in 2016. Here is his monthly progress since we started walking (552 days in a row): Before FrankWalks : 383 pounds 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 Here are the results from weigh in 18: ◦312.5 pounds. Frank has lost 70.5 pounds since we started walking. His lowest weigh in yet! ◦Blood sugar: A1C is 6% down from 10% ◦Diet: Diet remains the biggest challenge and THE blocker of the final breakthrough Frank hit 22K+ steps on multiple days in March, which equals a half marathon. As it gets warmer out, our walks continue to get longer and longer. His stamina, flexibility, strength, and energy match a completely different Frank Fleming physique. He has also started messing around with dumbbells and bands to build up arm strength. His hard work is consistent and the walks are never in doubt; the final key is diet. It is not linear or easy, but Frank is creeping down to 300 pounds, while gaining significant muscle. He has added back YEARS to his life and is inspiring others. Congrats, Frank. Let’s keep pushin.

🚨 Weigh in 13 🚨 Spoiler: Frank is now the lightest he has been since ~1998 🔥 Before #FrankWalks, Frank had not been under 350 pounds in over 20 years and was 500+ pounds in 2016. Here is his monthly progress since we started walking (400 days in a row): Before FrankWalks : 383 pounds 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 Here are the results from weigh in 13: ◦318.5 pounds: Frank has lost 64.5 pounds since we started walking and is now at his LOWEST weight since we started ◦Blood sugar: Levels plummeted deeper into the green zone … down from ~10% A1C to 6 … THIS PROGRESS IS PHENOMENAL AND WILL EXTEND FRANK’S LIFE BY YEARS ◦Diet: Diet is improving, which is obvious with his wildly lowered blood sugar and -9 pounds month. The cutbacks on soda and late night snacking have been key. Frank has lost weight in 11/13 weigh ins and today marks 400 consecutive days walking. His physique has transformed and he easily walks 5+ miles without needing a break or skipping a beat. Stairs and hills become easier and easier every walk. And I am convinced Frank has gained significant muscle, which makes the weight loss even more impressive. The only downside is Frank will inevitably punch me in the face with a hammerfist by accident in the coming weeks. He underestimates his newfound athleticism during rants, putting me in imminent physical danger. Thank you Tank’s Army for the incredible support. Frank loves seeing the people who have started walking and sharing their updates. You inspire Frank to stay committed more than you can imagine. We are all in it togedder. 400 walks down and we are just getting started. CONGRATS FRANK!!!!!!!!!! Anudder weigh in in the books

🚨 Weigh in 15 🚨 Before #FrankWalks, Frank had not been under 350 pounds in over 20 years and was 500+ pounds in 2016. Here is his monthly progress since we started walking (461 days in a row): Before FrankWalks : 383 pounds 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 Here are the results from weigh in 15: ◦326 pounds. Frank has lost 57 pounds since we started walking, but has struggled the last two months ◦Blood sugar: Levels remain in the green zone for the longest stretch of Frank’s adult life ◦Diet: Diet remains the biggest challenge, especially late night snacking Frank had a tremendous 2024 with nearly 6 million steps. He doesn’t need me or anyone else to encourage him to walk: he gets it in every single day. No excuses, he’s addicted. His body has transformed beyond weight loss. He can fit in booths, manage stairs/hills, and has new levels of stamina enabling 3 hour walks. Hell, he is even practicing jogging at this point. The challenge in 2025 will be matching his walking discipline with diet discipline. Late night snacking, soda, and salt intake are some of the primary obstacles. Frank is generally eating and drinking significantly better than his past, but the starting point was so horrible we still have a ways to go. Mitigating late night snacking is our biggest focus this month. This journey is not simple or easy, but it is real. The diet struggles are probably relatable to many. And struggling is okay as long as you keep fighting, because adversity leads to life’s greatest victories. Diet diet diet. The KEY to Frank breaking 300 LBS this year. It is time to lock in.

Blog 152 🚨 Weigh in 4 🚨 Before #FrankWalks, Frank had not been under 350 pounds in over 20 years and was 500+ pounds in 2016. Here is his monthly progress: Before ##FrankWalks : 383 pounds Weigh in 1: 373 pounds Weigh in 2: 352 pounds Weigh in 3: 343 pounds Here are the results from weigh in 4: ◦340 pounds: Frank has lost 43 pounds since we started walking (128 straight days) ◦Average step count: 10K minimum by end of walk (used to be by end of day) ◦Diet: Incremental improvements continue, no set plan just Frank vs Frank. Examples: less soda, smaller food orders, less junk food / snacking, more BodyArmor water - this is the biggest challenge ◦Physical changes: Frank’s mobility, flexibility, endurance, and energy continue to improve daily. ◦Sugar levels remain in the green zone. Last year at this time his A1C was at 9.2 it is now down to 7.5 ◦Frank can now fit into 3XL jerseys for the first time in 20+ years. Stairs are also becoming less of a burden for him. For example, he said entering the ring at RNR 23 was easy unlike the past Thank you to Tank’s Army and beyond for the relentless support. Frank is trying to show the world that anyone can change their health and habits with consistency and incremental improvements rather than extreme unsustainable action. Frank is down 43 pounds since we started walking and the formula has been simple: we walk everyday and don’t stop until Frank hits 10k steps + incremental improvements on Frank’s diet. The secret sauce is NO DAYS OFF. And as Frank always says, “If I can do it, you can do it.” I think my favorite part of weigh in day is how quickly Frank moves on from the good news. He is like Kobe Bryant, in a constant state of “Job’s not finished”. Off to Chicago this evening. Anudder weigh in in the books.

He never wants to let down Tank’s Army. Trying to transform your health publicly is brave. I told him, not every weigh in will be epic. Fat is turning into muscle and his body is literally reshaping. What is epic is how determined Frank is to keep pushing himself and inspiring people. We have no idea what the destination is, but the greater journey has just begun. People ask what the target weight is. The truth is we already hit our target: Frank has completely changed his lifestyle in a sustainable way that he enjoys. This isn’t a fad. This will not stop. He’ll be healthier and happier for many years to come. Thank you to everyone for the immense support of Frank’s health journey. Your love is his inspiration everyday. If you are struggling in life, small steps forward, literally and figuratively, will add up to massive change. Just get started and know you aren’t alone. “If I can do it, you can do it.” - Frank Earl Fleming Next stop: 320s Anudder weigh in in the books.

🚨 Weigh in 12 🚨 Before #FrankWalks, Frank had not been under 350 pounds in over 20 years and was 500+ pounds in 2016. Here is his monthly progress since we started walking (369 days in a row): Before #FrankWalks : 383 pounds 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 Here are the results from weigh in 12: ◦327 pounds: Frank has lost 56 pounds since we started walking ◦Blood sugar: Levels remain in the green zone for the longest stretch of Frank’s adult life, this will add years to his life … down from ~10% A1C to 6.8% ◦Diet: Diet continues to be the greatest hurdle. Stress eating and meal choices must improve along with less soda. This is Frank vs a lifetime of bad habits. It’s hardest when he’s home alone, that’s the biggest damage zone Last month was a setback with a six pound increase. It was his second straight month gaining back weight. It would have been easy to slide deeper into bad old habits and completely lose momentum. Everyone’s support and encouragement after the disappointing Weigh In 11 was fantastic. Thank you Frank was upset that he let fans down but was determined to turn it around. The setback doesn’t matter, the response does. And Frank responded with a solid month, getting back to into the green. He has now lost weight in 10/12 weigh ins. His endurance, flexibility, agility, and energy improve everyday. But what Frank is most proud of is the always increasing # of walkers who have started their own health journeys. It blows Frank’s mind that he’s gone from getting picked on in school for his weight, to becoming an inspiring fitness influencer. Frank also passed one year of walking with no days off on Friday. I couldn’t be more proud of his commitment. We still have a long way to go, but we are BACK ON TRACK. DIET DIET DIET! Anudder weigh in in the books
