Article Idea: Applying Your Programming Skills to Lose Weight in Real Life?
-
For many years, I've had a problem controlling my weight, and given the sedentary nature of working as a developer in an office setting, it's really easy to get out of shape and turn into a "blob", of sorts. I was thinking about applying some of my programming skills to losing weight and posting the results here on CP as an article--but I'm not sure if that would qualify as a "programming" article. So anyway, here's my question--do you think something like that would be applicable on CP, or should I just leave something like this to my own blog?

Not quite. A simple example would be to write something that would keep track of your workouts and your caloric intake, and it would still be up to you to do the rest of the work so that you can lose the weight.
