I don't remember much about this book at all except it had a lot to do with a guy cutting the grass, maybe to lose weight? I know that's not a lot to go on... I'm going to keep thinking about it, but thought for now I'd post this. Thanks.

You're thinking of One Fat Summer, by Robert Lipsyte. He didn't so much cut the grass to lose weight -- he got the job cutting grass because his father insisted he have a summer job. But he did certainly lose weight during the course of the summer.

Amazing! That's it! Thanks!
