I Need To Lose Some Weight – Watch Me Do It

Make money teaching a class at Prfessor.com

I am not a dieter, in fact, I have never been on a diet per say. Sure, I’ve cut back on things to try to be healthier, like fast food, and soda pop, but I’ve never done the South Beach Diet, or Atkins.

I always figured that a diet is just a wrong way to effectively be healthier. In my opinion, and what do I know really, if you’re going to lose weight, you need to do it the hard way, with exercise and hard work… you know… a lifestyle change. Plus, I always felt that a “diet” won’t work because the day you go off of it, you’re probably putting the weight back on.

All that being said, I do need to lose some weight. So I’ve agreed to participate in a contest with some of my Affiliate industry friends. It’s a contest called the Affiliate Fit Club.

I’m on the Blue team. Our goal is just like the show The Biggest Loser… to see which team can lose the most weight by the Affiliate Summit Event in Feb. 2008 at the Rio in Las Vegas (which is the event I’m emcee’ing).

My goal is to lose 30 pounds by then. Can I do it? Not sure, but at least I’ll give it a try. Now I’m committed. Wait, what did I just do?

Keep up-to-date on the contest by visiting the website, and staying updated here on my blog. We’ll be posting videos of our progress.

  • Hi Jim,

    Let me try to remember this. Didn't you try to lose weight already one time ago. And even put up a blog about it, with progress, etc. I don't remember the URL or the domain name ... but hey, what happened to that?
  • @wade, go team blue!

    @Kidino, yep, I was the original fatblogger, years ago. Here's what happened to helpjimgetslim.com.

  • Hi! Just found your blog, good luck with your 30 pounds.
    I just got an idea in my blog about how a treadmill could be combined with an xbox. Would you be my first costumer? =)

    Take care!

  • @Elin, an Xbox eh? I don't play games like that. But you should do it!
  • Go Jim Go!

    When I wake up I go straight to the gym and come back and become a computer geek - but I am a morning person that is why - good luck!
  • Good luck, Jim! I'm just getting started (again!) on a weight loss journey myself! I'll be with you in spirit! ;)
  • @iantrepreneur, that's how i'll try to do it too.

    @Lisa, thanks!
  • Can't wait to see how you do Jim. I started at 5' 11" and 275 so a little more to the "obese" side than you are but I"m 218 as of today and still at it 7 months later. My goal is 185.

    I feel low carb is the way to go although for appitite control as losing the carbs (sugars) seems to act a bit like a natural appetite suppressent. I found Atkins a bit restrictive for me and prefer the South Beach method so I can have ample veggies. Thanks for the post and best of luck to you!
