Books by writer Steve Maddison and Pen Name Andrew Stefani

In this brutally honest and laugh-out-loud funny memoir, one regular guy shares his real-life transformation from 248 pounds to 180 — without counting calories, joining a gym, or pretending to enjoy kale. What started with frustration (and a missing penis) turned into a journey of self-respect, chair workouts, and intermittent fasting that actually worked.

If you’re:
A guy who wants to lose weight without gimmicks
Sick of being tired, uncomfortable, and invisible
Looking for a starting point that doesn’t involve burpees or shame
Ready to laugh while getting your life back

Then this book is for you.

No fluff. No fitness cults. Just a straight-up, often hilarious look at how one man lost 68 pounds — from a chair — and got his body, confidence, and yes, visibility back.
