About


My name is Derek known online as Mr. Meltdown. I am a man with a plan to lose weight. I started my Website, www.MrMeltdown.com to assist me on my journey to getting fit and losing weight.
I was 415lbs when I started, weighing currently 410lbs now and plan to lose at least half that weight naturally without surgery, pills, gimmicks or any other extreme tactics.
I recently decided to re-connect with all you guys by turning my website back into a blog. Since I started posting videos on YouTube I have over 500 emails telling me to blog.
I find it so helpful to untilize today’s technology and interact with my new friends this way. So you see guys I do read my emails and take advice and here it is my new weight loss blog.
Hope to talk with all you guys soon and lose more weight and help others do the same. Thanks again for all your support.

Hello Mr. Meltdown!
I am so glad that you are letting all of us follow your progress. Thank you for the opportunity to be in touch with someone who is in fighting the same battle that I am. I began to loose weight about a month ago when i researched gastric bypass surgery. I started at 303 lbs. and I am at 288.5 now. I have struggled all my life to loose only to gain it back. I am all set to have the sleeve surgery as soon as I get my psych. evaluation. So I would love to watch your progress and learn new recipes, ect. so thank you again

Hi Robbie!
First I would love to give you a warm welcome to the blog! You will find that there are so much support here that you will instantly feel at home.
I started this blog for the purpose of support and did not know how effective it would be in helping me to keep focused. I think it is great you are planning to lose weight and yes indeed it is a battle. That is why I started “TEAM MELTDOWN”.
I needed help and now things are looking up and I am confident that this time around I will lose this weight.
So welcome my friend and keep posting your progress with your upcoming surgery. If there is anything I can do to help just reach out. God bless you my friend.

Hey brutha, we’re fighting the same fight and it’s gonna be a long battle!! If we inspire each other it makes it that much easier. I’m glad I’m finding blogs with real people going through the same struggle as I, so let’s work it out and watch each others back.
