In this episode of 2 Guys 1 Scale, we break down our latest weight loss progress, questionable training choices, and why we might have found the worst possible way to prepare for a half marathon.
From Zwift upgrades and building a cycling team, to diet struggles, cheat meals, and surprising weigh-ins… this one’s all over the place (in the best way).
We’ve been cycling a TON…
Not running enough…
Eating… questionable meals…

Classic 2 Guys 1 Scale behavior…
One week after getting back under 300 lbs, Charles gains weight again thanks to pasta, Blizzards, and not logging a single thing 😅
Meanwhile, Scott stays under 220 lbs (barely) after a weekend full of fish fries, ice cream, and St. Patrick’s Day food.
Charles: 303.3 lbs (RIP sub-300)
Scott: 219.3 lbs (still under 220 🙏)

⚖️ Weekly Weigh-In🍝 Diet Chaos (Again)🎡 Wild Magic FAIL🏃 Training Updates🍔 March Fatness Bracket Begins🚴 Ironman & Event Talk
Huge milestone this week on 2 Guys 1 Scale.
Charles is officially back under 300 pounds, a massive step in his weight loss journey. Naturally, instead of celebrating responsibly… we decided it was the perfect time to make a terrible decision:
👉 Registering for a Half Ironman (70.3).
Because nothing says progress like signing up for a race that includes a 1.2 mile swim, 56 mile bike ride, and a 13.1 mile run.
In this episode we cover:
Charles gets back under 300 lbs
Scott’s continued weight loss progress
How accurate calorie logging is actually working
The return of the Full of Sh*t Meter
How our training is going
Running mileage struggles
Why hills in Missouri are brutal
Are we actually ready for race day?
Our March Wild Magic challenge continues:
Swim, bike, run, or lift every single day
No excuses
No skipped workouts
We break down:
Which workouts sucked the most
Who’s actually staying consistent
Whether this challenge is helping or killing us
We officially commit to doing a Half Ironman triathlon later this year.
We discuss:
Training plans
Zwift cycling miles
Swimming progress
Why running might be our weakest discipline
Because it wouldn’t be 2 Guys 1 Scale without diet chaos:
Pizza and Pop-Tarts
Fast food temptations
Calorie logging honesty
Why “perfect dieting” never lasts
Plus:
Non-Scale Victories
Goofs of the Week
Training struggles
Public accountability
This podcast follows two regular guys documenting their real weight loss journey, the ups and downs, and the ridiculous challenges we sign up for along the way.
No hiding.
No skipping weigh-ins.

We’re back… but not in the Fat Pad together.
Charles is quarantined at home because all three of his kids tested positive for the flu, and Scott refuses to catch influenza for the 97th time this year. So this week we’re recording remotely — and somehow still spinning the Wheel of Doom.

Logging struggles and flirting with calorie limits
Why eating out makes tracking easier (and harder)
Teetering without fully falling off the rails

We’re back in the Fat Pad… but first, we took this podcast to the park.
