TUAW Fitness: An Apple a day makes the weight go away

Filed under: , , , ,

I’ve struggled with my weight for a long time. In my free-wheeling post-college days I lived with my two best friends, sitting around playing video games, drinking beer and eating Taco Bell. I put on a lot of weight in a short amount of time with that diet and exercise schedule, topping out at 260 pounds. I decided enough was enough, and I strapped on my running shoes, straightened up my eating habits, and lost almost 90 pounds.

In the years that have followed, my weight has gone up and down several times, and I’m at the point now that I need to get serious about losing weight again. According to my BMI, at 6’3″ I should top out at 199 pounds, and right now I’m at 225.

Feature #1 is a queue status graphic (seen here), letting everyone know how long the approval wait should be — like the line signs at Walt Disney World, only far geekier.
