“Tinier Tim” Bauer is less than half the man he used to be. After spending 31 years struggling with morbid obesity, he transformed his life, losing more than 225 pounds in just over 1 year through diet and exercise and now helps other obese individuals do the same. Tim’s approach to overcoming obesity is to focus on one step at a time, reminding his clients that he didn’t lose 225 pounds, he lost one pound 225 times.

His greatest accomplishment is that his daughters are now able to sit in his lap without his belly getting in the way and wrap their arms completely around him.

Tim’s blog, TinierTim.com, his personal weight loss story, and his approach to fitness and life have appeared in many publications, including the Wall Street Journal, and on the inaugural episode of TLC’s hit series Skin Tight.
