About

My name is Alan Spicciati and I’m a dad trying to lose a little weight.  I graduated high school active in baseball and weighed about 200 pounds.  Then I went to college, got a job that allowed me to eat out, and for most of the last ten years have worked at a desk. And without a plan, I have gained a lot of weight.

This blog serves to build in some accountability for me and share anything I learn along the way.  My goals are to lose weight and relearn how to eat.  I’ve found the weight loss stories of so many people to be inspiring, and I hope I can repay that benefit by helping others. 

My goal is to use humor and analysis to keep you engaged and to keep me moving forward. You’ll learn that I like numbers and baseball, that I am loyal to my Philadelphia roots, and am at home in Seattle. And hopefully along the way I’ll remember to thank my wife Shannon, whose support makes so much of this possible.

Please comment on my posts. I'd love to hear what you're thinking and others do as well. But if you want to write me directly at poundsoffplayoff aht "gee-mail" DC.
