MrTubby is your standard, run of the mill middle aged specimen. Still in his late 30s, he represents a soft-edged, follically challenged average individual that has become increasingly sedentary. Not that there’s anything wrong with enjoying the luxuries that progressed age and standard of living provide, but the effects of the couch potato life style and decreased metabolic rate can lead to the symptoms that gave MrTubby his name.

So what are the vital stats? Being just slightly over 6 foot in height, the 90 kg (200 lbs) that are distributed over the length of MrTubby’s body (sporting thin legs and puny arms) conspicuously decided to settle around the midsection. No longer being able to hold it in, even in the presence of hot chicks who presumably have nothing else to do but to be adequately impressed by MrTubby’s stunning physique, there is now a visibly protruding belly.

Love handles is no longer a fitting terms for this unwelcome physical phenomenon. What we have here, ladies and gentlemen, is a bona fide beer gut and it ain’t pretty.

MrTubby has not only decided to make a true life style change that changes the direction his life and body is taking, but also to document this metamophosis on a site for the whole world to see. Join me through the adventure, and laugh and cry and ponder with us over our successes and tribulations.
