Wow... got the scale today and it said 189.8 and I had to take a double take. I moved the scale around the room and weighed myself three or four more times and it came up at 190.4 each time.
Either way, I set a record today. I guess it was in part due to the FatBlogging episode of CalacanisCast Beta we did yesterday. I can't wait until Tyler gets that out to you guys... it was really great.
Since setting that record I figured I would get on the treadmill and try to break my two mile run record of 17 minutes and 15 seconds.
I crushed it.
2 miles in 16 minutes and five seconds. The first mile was 8:10, so that means I did a 7:55M for the second one--that's very respectable I think considering I'm still 15 pounds overweight.
Changing up the running schedule has really helped. Some days I walk, some days I do a walk/job, some days I do HIIT, and some days I just say "run as fast as you can for two miles." The good thing is that my 16 minute work out burned 301 calories--that's amazingly efficient in terms of time to cals burned. Walking uphill it would take double the time to do the same number of calories.
March will the month I get back to the 180s, even if it is just 189 I'm gonna do it.
Another thing that is really helping is that I'm eating a PowerBar Protein bar in the afternoon at like 4PM. For 300 calories it really holds me over and keeps me from having an insane dinner. It seems that dinner is when I stray the most.
How's everyone else doing? Any tips to share? Anyone falling off the wagon? Anyone else set any records?!
190.4

(Page 1 of 1)3. Jason, I've been following your fatblogging progress and a few other bloggers who have joined you as well.
One thing I don't think I've seen you mention before is how tall you are. Just curious as knowing your height would help me put your weight into perspective. In your videos you don't 'look' overweight.
I almost wish I could join the fatblogging thing with you guys, but I'm not overweight by any means. I'm a normal frame, 6'1" and about 195lbs. I guess I could use a bit of toning up around the midsection so I fit into a 32" jeans rather than a 34, but at 39yo I think I'm doing ok.
So, how tall are you?

5. I've gone from 196 to 182 (14 pounds) since Jan 1st. I have yet to get my fat content rechecked but at the first of the year, it was in the 30 percentile range but I have no idea what it in now. My current target is still 170ish.
How I've accomplished this so far:
- 1700 calories a day, spread over 5 meals
- Work out with personal trainer 3x a week from 7am to 8am before the work day starts
- Walk my dogs the other two mornings before work
- Daily 30 min, "Nintendo Wii Workout"
- One "cheat day" on the weekends where I can eat/drink anything that I want to
- Do something active on the weekends, like scuba diving or hiking.

7. > Any tips to share?
I lost 6-8 lbs since the holidays and the thing that seemed to be the most beneficial was a weight vest... the pounds have melted off with no loss of strength. I do not run much, but even walking the dog while carrying extra weight can be a workout. Started with the 30lb bball model but it gets easy quickly. For walking only, the 75lb model might be the better long-term choice. -S
9. I eat six small meals a day, and by "meals" I don't mean regular meals. I typically will do egg whites and a piece of Ezekiel bread toast for breakfast, a protein bar or shake at 9am, a small lunch of chicken breast or something, another protein shake at 3pm and then dinner is typically fish and grilled vegetables. Combining that with working out every day, I've lost 29 pounds since December 28, so it's definitely working.
Sorry I missed the conference call for the podcast, I got slammed at work. I'll catch the next one.

10. Hi Jason...it was great having the fatblogging conference yesterday. Unfortunately I have no willpower and often surrond myself with people that do not help keep me motivated. I has a social work conference today and had Greek for lunch. Having bread must have thrown me off because even after a large meal I was ravenous. I went off the wagon but have to remind myself that each day is a new start and get right back to it. Fat blogging will help me. Since having kids at 5'8 I tip the scales at 200 and really need to be healthy not only for myself but for my children as well. Back to the treadmill and JC tomorrow...I will let you know how it goes....
12. tips:
- eat 5 meals, smaller but better
- advice from a woman who lived to be over 100: go to bed a little hungry (I want a t-shirt saying that), stay positive, learn something new every day
- living longer is more important than weight loss ;-)
Actually I've been mighty inspired by your efforts as well. My wife started this weight loss inspiration thing (after 2 kids), and you're finishing it. Thanks.

13. Great work on the treadmill. Have you been running a while, or just starting out?
I'm blogging about trying to lose 100 pounds, and I couldn't run if my house was on fire, due to heel spurs, 280 pounds, years of smoking, etc. But I do try to walk at least an hour a day, and I shoot for two.

An Introduction to Dropshipping from fashionhause.com.
Dropshipping is an order fulfilment service. It provides people with the opportunity to sell goods without holding any stock, having storage facilities or buying in bulk. This is ideal if you want to start your own home based business on a low budget! We are here to help you get started by offering a range of products including rolex watches, chanel bags and, of course, a dropshipping service.
Dropshipping creates a positive cash-flow situation:
You don't have to buy goods until after you've made a sale - meaning there really is 'nothing to lose'.
An Example
Lets suppose you choose to sell a rolex (RRP ￡194.99) and the dropshipper charges ￡142.50 + ￡7.50 postage. You might promote this item on your web-site (or online auction etc) for ￡94.99 with FREE POSTAGE. When you make a sale and collect payment forward the order details and payment (￡150) to the dropshipper who then packages and despatches the order to your customer.
In the above example you would have made ￡44.99 profit from an item costing you ￡150. Don't forget the added bonus of not paying for anything until after you have made a sale. It's not like you ever risked losing ￡150 if you were unable to sell the item!
Businesses on the Internet use all types of different pricing structures and dropshippers are no different. You might choose to offer free postage as in the above example or maybe you will pass the postage fee onto your customers - it's up to you! Maybe you will sell at the handbags or occasionally run special offers etc, again - it's up to you! Dropshippers provide you with the opportunity to start your own business but don't tell you how to run your business giving you much more freedom than affiliate schemes etc.

1. Nice work! I find I stray the most at dinner too - I eat pretty well during the day at work and drink a lot of water. But sometimes my portions get crazy at dinner. I also am a huge fan of beer, which doesn't help.
What type of fish do you prepare Jason?
