Captain 160
In less than a month, I've gone from ~175lbs down to 160. This brings me to the halfway point of my initial weight loss goal (145, if you do the math). I can't say that this lifestyle adjustment has been simple, but I will say that it's been far easier than previously anticipated. I'm using my geek skills to get me through, including a sweat-inducing workout on my Gazelle both last night and this morning. How is that geeky?
I pulled a 90-minute exercise session (without blinking) last night while I was playing Feeding Frenzy on the Xbox 360 – racking up a few achievements. I pulled an hour on it this morning, getting even more Feeding Frenzy achievements. I tell ya, the only way to work out is with a video game controller in your hand. I've tried it with television shows, but plain ol' TV just doesn't enable me to work up a sweat like a good PSP game or Xbox 360 diversion does. It's not just forcing my mind to do something else, it's keeping my controller steady, applying dexterity to the buttons, keeping my balance on the glider, etc.
160! Watching calories has been part of it… smaller meals have been part of it… more frequent munching has been part of it… daily workouts have been part of it… CalorieKing's exercaise and nutrition manager has been part of it… FatBlasters has been part of it… Green tea has been part of it. I'll “weigh in” again when I hit 155, with the final ten pounds countdown.

Congrats man. I lost 25 pounds doing that Jorge Cruise thing – would have been more if I exercised. You're definitely inspiring me cuz I love video games.

Chris, I'd love to see a video of you playing your XBox while on the Gazelle.
I've been thinking about some home exercise equipment that allowed me to do something like this, but from what I envision don't you have to hold onto that thing for dear life? :)

I second the video sugestion — I want to see how this is done, LOL.
I have a Gazelle and I can't quite fathom how I'd balance on there and play a video game at the same time! I guess I'm just not coordinated enough.
