Congrats Marty. The one thing I hate, like I'm sure you do too, about the Net is that it ties us to a chair so much instead of getting out and about like you do in other businesses.
I used to be a slim and trim 180 my whole life. Once I got into computers and Net related businesses and got literally addicted to working on a PC for nearly everything I do, I gained a ton of weight.
I found a great way to burn it off is simply walking. I was able to get back to 199 from 230 by walking 4 to 6 miles per day. It takes a lot of time out of your day, (about 1 to 2 hours), but it will drop weight like crazy. I lived one block from the beach during this period and doing it on the sand with the resistance you get helps the process even more. Unfortunately I moved inland and stopped my walking routine because of time constraints and gained it all back. Now I'm trying to get at least an hour a day in again and the scale is looking better each day. I've also cut back to only 2 main meals per day and sometimes only 1 meal per day instead of 3 to reduce my caloric intake. I also have built the mental skills to look at sweets and donuts and turn away without buying them. I can't do this all the time, but about half the time I get a craving and its right in front of me, I think loudly to myself "don't do it, don't do it" and I don't and walk away without munching and the craving goes away.
Good luck the battle is not easy and its been the absolute hardest thing in my personal life to conquer.
