jason calacanis and fatblogging



Jason Calacanis, who I had the pleasure of meeting in LA at the

beginning of the year, is blogging his new year weightloss plan.

What a rocking idea. Support, friendship (and a bit of pressure) are

what keep people on the straight and narrow. Following his call for

more fatbloggers to join the conversation, I'm saying - heck, why not!

My girlfriend is a super-fit sports freak, and she's doing a full-on

trialthlon in the summer. As part of her morale support, and for my

own good, I'm excercising and eating healithy along with her,

especially since I wouldn't mind getting back down to my 'dating

weight' from a couple of years ago.

So we started at the beginning of February, and I weighed 248 pounds.

Last Monday's weigh-in was 244. This Monday's was 240. I want to get

down to 210, which was where I was at when I was at college. Damn

desk-work and 2-hour commutes have killed me the last 18 months.

In the spirit of starting a conversation about this, can anyone

recommend a good Web 2.0-esque service for tracking your weight and

competing against your friends? The Nike+iPod site is awesome, but

requires the little Nike attachment which I don't really need/want.

Jason - c'mon man, let's get our treadmill on!

My tip for the week - when you're craving carbs, a baked sweet potato,
