I showed my kids these pictures of their Uncle Kevin and asked them what they noticed.
Porter: “He’s chubby and then he’s skinnier. He looks better now and he doesn’t look better then. Are you sure that’s Uncle Kevin?”
Claire: “He has glasses and now he doesn’t. He had a chubbier neck. And his shirt is different. And now he has skinnier arms.”
Funny thing is that I never thought Kevin was “chubby” but now he looks better than he ever has. Ever.
So many of you reading this have come to know him as “Techie Kevin” because of his occasional guest blog post here when he shares his technology expertise and answers your questions. If you missed those and you’re interested, you can read his most recent couple here and here. Or just do a quick search (in the sidebar) for “Feedback Friday: Tech Edition”.
What you don’t know – is that Kevin (2 years older than me) has survived cancer – two times, actually. About 10 years apart. He is a father to 6 children, and recently threw the best surprise luau for his wife’s 40th birthday. He’s also very quick to serve however and wherever he’s needed. He is generous with his time spent helping others. He’s pretty remarkable.
And now – he’s kind of my hero for making huge strides in living a healthier life. Kevin has lost 50 pounds since January. No trendy diet. No expensive equipment. No gadgets or gizmos. I’m inspired, and I wanted to share a little of his experience with you to pass along the inspiration. Here’s a little Q&A I did with Kevin recently, which happened to be right around the time he hit that 50 lb. weight loss mark.
…..
B: After all these years of going in and out of serious health issues – why now? What motivated you to make changes this year?
K: Kevin and diets don’t normally get along so well. I’ve done a pretty good job of convincing myself in the past that diets don’t work for me. Although I’ve tried a few times in the past, my efforts had always been half-hearted. I have an “instant gratification” personality, so if I don’t see results in the first week, I usually give up.
This time was a little different. The initial decision was the culmination of a few things: 1) according to most weight-related web sites, I was clinically obese. 2) in general, I felt lousy and had little energy. 3) as a two-time cancer survivor myself, my oldest brother’s recent cancer diagnosis was a sharp reminder that I need to start taking care of my aging body.
(Becky’s note: Our oldest brother, Jonathan, was diagnosed with stage 4 colorectal cancer in December and is currently undergoing treatment.)
During our family’s trip to visit the Higgins this past Christmas, we watched the documentary Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead. It inspired me to not only to set goals, but to stick to them. The facts were undeniable… garbage in, garbage out. A healthy lifestyle was needed, and needed badly. Unfortunately, that meant a certain level of discipline on my part. Yikes!
B: What was the hardest part of transitioning to a healthier lifestyle – at first?
K: A typical lunch for me in the past consisted of a bacon cheeseburger (or hotdog), tater tots and a Pepsi, usually followed by an afternoon chocolate chip cookie or candy bar. Then, on my drive home, I would stop by a convenience store for a chocolate milk and snack of some sort to tide me over until dinner (a whole 30 minutes later). Consuming an entire packet of salted nuts, a bag of potato chips or tub of ice cream was acceptable to me because it tasted so good and I had little concern for repercussions. When I started my diet, I was still surrounded by these types of food, but had to repel them. It took an immense amount of will power. The first month was really challenging, but I somehow broke through that barrier. It does get a lot easier to deny yourself the junk in favor of the healthy… eventually (for example, I have no desire to drink soda now).
B: Most people know they want and need to do better about eating habits and exercise, but perhaps aren’t sure how to go about it. Obviously everyone is different and has a unique life situation, but what are a few of your tips that would obviously apply to just about anyone?
K: You’re absolutely right. Everybody is different, and every person has different needs. There is no one perfect diet. Because of this, I hesitate even talking to people about MY new lifestyle. Yes, it works for me, but won’t necessarily work for you. Having said that, there are really two components to my change of lifestyle: healthy eating and exercise.
With healthy eating, I have essentially replaced processed foods with fruits and vegetables. Instead of the burger or hotdog, I have a salad with a little dressing and lots of vegetables. Instead of soda, I drink a lot of water. Instead of snacking on a doughnut or candy bar, I have an apple or banana. The interesting thing about that is it fills me up just as much as the junk, but I don’t suffer the sugar crash and I just feel healthier and happier.
On the exercise side, I really do two types of exercise: running and weights. In general, I run 3-5 miles, 4 days a week on a treadmill (I prefer a treadmill because I can control the environment and conditions). I also do a series of curls, push-ups and sit-ups 3-4 days a week. This allows me to focus on upper- and core-body strength, while running focuses on the lower-body and heart.
B: When one embarks on a journey like this, they usually commit to cutting out certain things from their diet or lifestyle. List some of those things for you.
K: From Day 1, I have completely avoided soda and french fries. These are killers for me. I also had a goal to completely avoid potato chips, but fell to temptation a few times (hey, I’m human!). I also try to stay away from processed dairy as much as possible as well as hamburgers/hotdogs (at last count, I’ve had 2 hamburgers and 1 hotdog since the second week of January). I also avoid fast food restaurants. No good comes from them. Wheat or whole grain bread (or a wrap) instead of white bread was never difficult for me. I love the darker, denser breads.
B: What have you ADDED into your routine?
K: The two big things for me would be plant-based foods (salads, vegetables, etc) and lots of water. Water is usually what I default to when I feel hungry (which doesn’t seem to be that often anymore). After a while, I got sick of just plain water, so I mix it up once in a while with water flavoring (like Mio).
B: If I asked “How are you feeling now?”, you’re going to say “Great!” – of course. You’re down 50 pounds. But really – are you really, truly feeling better? How so?
K: Actually, at first, I wouldn’t have said I was feeling better in general. I felt like my energy levels hadn’t changed at all since the beginning. I knew that I was looking better, so that still made it worth it to me. A few weeks ago, I was playing outside with my kids. As we were going back inside, one of my kids dared me to run a 1/4 mile on the treadmill, so I did (barefoot). When I finished, I stepped off the treadmill, then made a realization… I wasn’t out of breath! That may seem like no big deal, but coming from someone who was out of breath by running upstairs, this was huge. From that point on, I knew that I DID feel better in general, and this is something that I am mindful of each day.
B: Is there something specific that you turn to when you need motivation on a daily basis, or when it gets hard, or you’re strongly tempted to fall into old habits?
K: Some people have a picture of themselves when they were in a High School posted on their fridge or bathroom mirror. I don’t really have anything like that, and to be honest, that wouldn’t really motive me anyway. I am passionate about technology, and use it anywhere I can. In this case, I have kept track of my progress on a daily basis since Day 1.
Looking at that dynamic chart every single morning is motivation enough for me. I honestly do get giddy anytime I think of how far I’ve come. It’s still hard for me to believe that I am having success (I think I suffer from “Fat Man Syndrome”). I love that for the first time in a loooong time, I wear a size medium shirt instead of XL.
One other thing that helps to keep me motivated: About a month or so ago, I went through my closet and got rid of everything that didn’t fit anymore. I was left with nothing. As a result, I had to go buy a new closet full of clothes. For those who know me, you know I hate (despise) shopping for clothes. This is a huge motivator for me to stay trim and fit.
B: To what do you attribute your success with improved health?
K: My family, for sure. Cheesy as that may be, it’s great knowing that I can compete with my growing kids on a physical level. Lauren (my sweet wife) has played the biggest role in encouraging me. She started running several years ago, and I guess it took this long for that to wear off on me. Not that I consider myself a runner by any means, but her attitude towards good health in general is a huge motivator.
B: Final thoughts?
K: It’s really difficult for me to say to anyone, “Just do it!” People said that to me all the time, but I translated it to “Just don’t do it!” A better lifestyle won’t happen unless you want it to. It’s not easy, but it’s definitely worth it. There are two documentaries that I think are worth watching: Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead and Forks Over Knives. Even if you don’t buy into their principles completely, you can’t deny that the general message of healthier eating can only improve your overall health. That’s that attitude that I have taken. It’s not about going to extremes. It’s about being sensible.
Those are my thoughts, and I’m sticking to them.

it’s never easy to make a big change but it can be done! after 3 weeks change is supposed to become a habit. good job and thank you for sharing….now i am getting on my exercise bike and aiming for an extra 10 minutes!!
Thank you so much for this post, Becky (and Kevin). I started my weight loss journey on October 3rd of last year. I was elected State’s Attorney in a small town in Illinois in November of 2004. Since that time I have gained 70 pounds. Yikes. Lots of stress, lots of crazy work hours, lots of late night fast foods. Add in two children and a husband and things get crazy. I have lost 53 pounds since October, but have hit a plateau emotionally and physically. To be honest, I have had no problem losing the weight. (I know, people hate it when I say that). I have amazing willpower when I need it, but I lost my mom exactly one month ago today and it has been hard. This post may just be the boost I need. Thanks, Becky.

awww tricia…you have my deepest sympathy! i lost my Mom in April 2006 and miss her terribly, but as you know it does and it will get easier! hugs to you!!
Thank you, Laura.
So sorry for the loss of your Mom. Hope you are feeling a bit better today.
Just the message I needed today! Congratulations Kevin and thank you for sharing your story with us.
I am a yo-yo dieter and now that I am looking at losing 40 pounds again for the fourth time I decided that I am done with it. I watched “Forks Over Knives” and it was a huge wake up call. I have changed my whole attitude toward fitness and nutrition. I am not perfect and I am just getting started but I am making better and better choices and am working out. It is a daily struggle but I believe you can’t do it until you make a fundamental shift in your outlook and thinking.
I went food shopping yesterday and realized that I skipped the entire middle of the store! I had a cart full of fruit and veggies, and some dairy and whole wheat bread. We are all worthy and deserve to be kind to ourselves. Love yourself, love your body and it will pay huge dividends for you and those who love you.
Thanks again!
WOW~ and HE’s SO HANDSOME! Congratulations Kevin! I bet you feel heathier!
So much good stuff in here!
But mostly I stopped to comment to say– congratulations Kevin! The no-nonsense, unflashy way you have pursued health takes a lot of daily gumption. Well done!
Becky, thank you so much for sharing your brother’s story! My husband recently watched Forks over Knives at work with his co-workers. My husband came home ready to make changes; he struggles with high cholesterol and is determined to, not, be put on meds. For the most part he has cut out processed foods and includes vegetables and fruit into every meal. We have even began juicing! It’s hard to make these changes, in a home, without it spilling over and affecting the rest of your family. As a result, myself and our two boys work hard to make better choices in the foods we put into our body. This makes me so happy to teach and take care of my kids in a way that I know will affect them in so many good ways! It’s challenging at times, especially for the kids who want those “sweet treats.” But my solution is to bake sweet treats myself, replacing regular white flour with whole wheat flour. Making these small changes a little at time adds up to big changes over time!
Congratulations to your brother! And many blessings and prayers to your older brother!
Becky, I’m glad I stopped by your blog today. What an inspiring account from your brother! Way to go Kevin!
Way to go Kevin!! AWESOME! Feeling healthier and better with more energy is a great motivator to stay fit. You look fabulous and I bet your family is very proud of you. Thanks to you and Becky for sharing with us.
I love to read these types of stories. I struggle every day with keeping my weight in check, but it’s so worth it. It’s all about choices, and I choose to be healthy, for many reasons. And I already thought Kevin was a rock star for his vast technie knowledge (he reminds me of my brother), but now I’m even more impressed!! You should be very proud of yourself!!
Wow! What an amazing difference in those photos. Your brother looks great! One thing he said lodged itself into my brain. “Garbage in, garbage out.” Never quite put together food with this phrase. How in the world can I expect to get good things out of myself when I really sit down and look at the junk I’m putting into my body. Thanks for the great thoughts to mull over.
Keep up the great work, Kevin!!
Way to go Kevin! Congrats! First of all I would like to commend you on doing this simply for wanting a healthy lifestyle and to be there for your family and keep up with the kiddos! You did a great thing with that! You are going to be a wonderful example for your kids in doing this. I too, recently went on a journey like this for a healthier lifestyle. I have 7 kids and having these babies did a number on my body, but I am determined to lose the extra weight and tone up my body and get the extra energy I know I will get from exercising and eating better. It’s working! I have been doing my regimen for almost a month now and I have lost 5 pounds and 6 inches off of my waist and I can already see the difference. It is a great motivator to keep doing it! I do the treadmill (walking and running) and also do some push ups, sit ups and strength and conditioning exercises. I also do the bicycle machine and a few machines at the gym that target the glutes and abs! To me, the two major trouble areas for us women! I joined a gym here that is month to month, no contract, and cost me 10 bucks a month. Not bad I figured, and it helps me to have to actually “go” somewhere to work out. I started out going 3 days a week, now I go everyday and love it! I say, “I don’t always love going there and knowing the workout I have ahead of me, but I absolutely LOVE the way it makes me feel afterwards!” I have also started eating a little differently. I have always watched what I ate, but have a major sweet tooth and knew I wouldn’t really give it all up that easily or at all, so I watch my portions with my food. For me, that has helped…portion control. And I do limit my sweets now and have added more fruits and veggies to not only my food, but my family as well. We just make better choices with food now. I didn’t totally say no sweets, I just limit them and make sure they are what we are eating the least of. The one thing I can mention is that when I started, I worked with a personal trainer for the first week and then went on my own once I had down what I needed to do. He advised to eat the “sweets” about an hour before my workout. He said that wold give me the energy I would need for the workout, and I would also be burning it off. Made some sense and it does work. I do have more “get up” in me when I do that before a workout and I get my sweets!
I am just so proud of anyone who does this for themselves and their family. I am so passionate about getting out and getting into a better lifestyle. I smile everytime I see my waistline shrinking and my clothes getting looser. Kevin looked great before, but he looks healthier and happier now in his pic and I congratulate him for that! I would like to add a note that it also seems to take “years” off of you. Kevin really looks younger! I am not just saying that, he does. With the pounds, he also dropped years off of him! Sorry to ramble on, but I love when I see things like this! Congrats again Kevin, keep it up…soon you’ll be looking like a teenager again! Lol!
Kudos to you, Kevin! Small, consistent steps, and you are there; better than ever. Thanks, Becky for sharing his story. I love that this is a story of feeling better and keeping up with those kids; being able to take on one of their challenges. I can relate to feeling out of breath climbing the stairs. I’ve been on MY plan for a month now, and I just realized that I’m not out of breath when I climb the stairs now. Woohoo!
Prayers for all of you, and a few extra for Jonathan.
Boy, Kevin, what I like the best is how you made this diet work FOR YOU. That I think is the key, personalization and also baby steps. I’m trying that now, not that I am a know it all, I just do stuff that works for me. I also applaud you giving up pop (up here in Minnesota it’s called pop).
I’m not sure if I can do that one yet.
On another note, this is for Jonathan: I was diagnosed with advanced colon cancer in 2006. I am still here and am grateful to God every day. It is absolutely amazing what they are doing with cancer treatment these days.
My thoughts and prayers to all of you, what a wonderful family!
Go, Kevin, go! Thank you for sharing your story with us!
It’s very inspiring! Praying for your oldest brother!
BIG hugs!
Great post Becky and Kevin!! I am starting summer now and am looking to make a change in my lifestyle. This post was grand inspiration! Thanks!!!
Kudos to your brother! I started Weight watchers in january and have lost 55 lbs. so far. I feel so much better! My 22 year old son decided to follow along with me at home and he has lost 68 lbs. to date. I think I am more happy for him than I am for myself. LOL!
Thank you for an inspirational post that just simplifies the whole diet process and look at the outcome! I’m on a mission to walk every day and to make better food choices. Congrats to Kevin for a great accomplishment in such a short time period! Also, wow – 2x cancer survivor- praise God! Prayers to your brother Jonathan.
Im glad you shared this Becky. Health and fitness is so important to living longer.
My husband did the SAME EXACT thing. (Just quit eating garbage and started exercising).
Im incredibly proud of him and he has lost a REMARKABLE 87 pounds!
I need to lose about 85 pounds, no joke. I beat cancer 7 years ago, and my oncologist is thrilled with the fact I am still here and cancer free! (not a good prognosis, but I fought like a girl) I am so inspired to do this, and started a few days ago! Thanks for sharing this, and by the way, besides all the good healthy benefits, he looks younger!
Way to go Kevin!! I too just lost 50 lbs. The only down side is that now I have to spend my $$ on a new summer wardrobe and not scrapbooking supplies
. But I feel SO great! Keep up the good work. Maintenance is just as hard as the losing, but if your lifestyle has truly changed it won’t be a struggle! Keep up the good work!
Thank you Becky and Kevin for sharing this story. I have been fighting my weight for most of my adult life and I know I need to lose weight. It seems like such a huge undertaking so I just keep avoiding getting started. You have inspired me to start. On another note, I know how hard it is when a family member is fighting cancer. I’ll be praying for your brother and your whole family.
God Bless you all,
Leslie
Way to go Kevin!!! That is awesome!! Garbage in garbage out… I totally agree too! You can’t expect your body to function the way it is suppose to when you don’t take care of it!!
So sorry to hear about Jonathan..my father is a 2 time colon cancer survivor! Prayers and thoughts going up for your family!!
Congratulations to Kevin (you look fantastic!) and much love to Jonathan. I will remember him in my prayers too

I love what Kevin has to say! They are my sentiments exactly. I have lost 10 pounds since April — it is a lot of hard work. I mean HARD. I’ve determined that is OK though because I feel better, look better and it doesn’t matter that I choose the healthy thing off the menu. I just remind myself, “I’m not here for the food.” And guess what I’m usually satisfied, and don’t have regrets afterward. 2 more pounds for my goal – then I’ll see if I can do another 5. I like knowing I’m in control. Guess what? I am!! I can do it. Thanks Kevin for being an inspiration.
Way to go Kevin!!!! That is awesome. And, hello…he looks 10 years younger!
My husband did the same thing last year, losing 54 pounds. He hasn’t looked back, only forward to a healthier, happier lifestyle. Plus, he has way more energy to play with our 4 young children (8, 3 and 2-year old twins).
Me? Well, I breastfed the twins, exclusively for 9 months. And anyone who has breastfed multiples will tell you that you need to eat a lot to maintain your milk supply. I ate healthy, but then once I stopped breastfeeding, it was a habit to eat more frequently. Then, because I didn’t have to “be good”, I started sneaking in the not-so-healthy snacks and voila, before I knew it I was 170 pounds, feeling horrible, had the beginnings of high blood pressure. As an RN, I knew what I should do, but it took hitting rock bottom to get there.
Working full-time and balancing 4 kids was an easy excuse to stay overweight. I didn’t have the time. Finally, one day a few months ago I found an old picture of my 20-something 102 pound self. I started to cry. I realized I didn’t to be the fat mom that didn’t want to be seen in a bathing suit or simply didn’t have the energy to be outside running around with her kids. Though I knew I would never get to that again (oh, yes, what 4 kids including a set of twins can do to one’s belly!), I realized that I just wanted to be healthy.
Well, yesterday I turned 40 and have lost 25 pounds so far. I have more energy than I have in a long time. Nothing tastes as good as healthy and or thin feels. I saw that quote a while back and keep reminding myself of it every day. Sure, it is a battle sometimes, especially when you see the goodies all around you, calling your name.
Health is something that changed me. It wasn’t only the skinny part. Having young children who need me to be healthy was a huge part of my motivation and continues to be each and every day.
Your brother’s story is an inspiration and I just have to say, thank you for sharing it with us today! For all of you out there just starting out towards the path of health, YOU CAN DO IT!!!!
So excited to see a reference to Forks Over Knives. A friend recently shared the movie with us, and my family has been plant-strong ever since. We’re blessed to have a great network of families that are also following an E2 Diet, each to different degrees, to exchange recipes, resources, and inspiration. I’m shocked daily by how my former mac & cheese-gobbling young children have become the driving force behind our nutritional overhaul. Congratulations, Kevin, and thank you for sharing!
This was very inspirational! Thank you so much for posting it today!
Woo hoooo great work Kevin, thanks for sharing so honestly. Wishing you all the best for a long long long healthy future
WoW! He really looks great now – and he was cute before too, but it is so wonderful to hear he lives a healthier life now.
I’m happy for him and all of you and pray for Jonathan!
Congrats to Kevin!!!! I hope he can stick with it. I know how hard it is to do what he has done, it’s VERY hard!!! I’ve recently decided to make several similar changes, except that we have HAD to remove gluten from our household also. What he has done is not only impressive, he will be an inspiration to others!!! I like that Kevin used technology to help him. A lot of people look at me like I’m crazy when I say I have an app for calorie counting/fitness tracking. And I started a blog to help keep me accountable. I’m NOT a technology junkie, at all, I like that it’s with me, accessible ALL the time.
Wow! This is just what I needed to read! I’ve been trying to change my eating habits and get fit, but it’s been so hard. I have always been one of those who could eat anything and not gain…Until about a year ago. I need to lose 10 pounds and this was just the inspiration I needed. Thank you, Kevin!
Congratulations to Kevin! Thanks for the great ideas!
First of all, CONGRATS on this huge accomplishment! Way to go and keep it up! Forgive me if this has been asked already but as a guy who is Super Techy, may i ask what Apps or programs you used to keep track of your food intake as well as your exercise? THANKS SO MUCH!!
I love the before and after pic ideas. I usually always think about it too late and don’t get a good before pic.
Wow! What an amazing transformation. Kevin you rock! Becky, thanks for sharing your brother with us. I plan on checking out those 2 documentarys. My husband and I both struggle with weight so his story is so inspiring me to keep going and press forward. So sorry to hear about the cancer in your extended family.
Thanks for sharing your journey, Kevin! It’s an inspiration!
I’m 25 at the moment, and way too unhealthy and overweight. My Dad and his father have heart issues as well, so I definately need to look after myself. I went to the doctors to get a script for birth control, and was told that being on the pill has caused me to have high blood pressure, so I’m now easing into a healthier lifestyle as well. I’ve drunk lots of water for years, and very little soft drink or coffee (maybe 2 coffees a week, and 1 softdrink every couple of weeks), which the doctor was happy about, but now I’m trying to eat lots more fruit, make more foods from scratch rather than packet mixes, avoid takeaway, or go for healthier take away options if I am going to eat it, etc. I’m using it as a chance to try new recipes and find new foods to eat, and I’m going reasonably well. Signing up for gym membership today, and working towards doing a 14km run in August (I think that equates to 8.75 miles) which should be fun, but will be a challenge since I’m not a runner.
Thanks again for the inspiration, such good timing with everything going on!!!
I showed this post to my husband. His first response was, “Wow, that looks like me.” Needless to say, marriage has given him a little chub. We watched “Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead” that night. We also ordered a juicer that night for his Father’s Day gift. He is starting a juice fast tomorrow and has been exercising every day this week.
Thank you Becky and Kevin for the inspiration. We are excited!
So inspiring! And Congratulations!!!
I love Lisa’s house — and your house!!! Both are incredible without being fussy and fufu. Y’all have the best decorating tips!!!
Kevin’s story is amazing. Way to go!!! Thanks for the reminder that we have kids to be there for in the future!
His weight loss has taken at least 10 years off him!!
Hi Becky and family!
First of all, I am a long time fan of yours, Becky, but have never felt comfortable writing messages on blogs or even on Facebook. But your story about your brother (actually, both brothers!) compelled me. Kevin’s story is very inspiring, and I hope that your other brother does just as well at beating cancer. Cancer sucks! I wish the best for your whole family at beating it and supporting your brothers.
My husband was diagnosed with 4th stage colon cancer when he was 39 years old, about 2 1/2 years ago. No family history, and it came as a complete shock. We have 2 young girls, which makes it all the more difficult to be told that you have cancer. He is still fighting it with chemo regularly, and we had a small celebration the other night to “celebrate” his 50th treatment. Did I mention that cancer sucks?! He has a great attitude and is very positive, and takes all of the treatments in stride. The drugs that are currently used for colon cancer work well, but when it is 4th stage, the cancer is that much more stubborn. I am hoping for a new wonder drug that will actually cure him! And your brother!
I’m sure you have lots of support from friends and family, but I know that some days can still be hard. I’m hoping for the best of results for both your brothers and their support teams.

WOW—I SO needed to see this today—I’m a bit behind on my blog reading and I’m grateful to have seen this—when Kevin said the two things I’ve changed are “healthier eating and exercise” I just laughed out loud—isn’t that ALWAYS what it is??!! I needed to be reminded that it’s time for me to do it. I may read this every day!! heee~ I am going to watch these two documentaries he suggested. Story is powerful—thanks Becky for sharing your WHOLE life with us—not just your products! (but, of course, I LOVE your products!!)
Hey there! Do you know if they make any plugins to
protect against hackers? I’m kinda paranoid about losing everything I’ve worked hard on.
Any suggestions?
