My "iPhone diet" is going surprisingly well, and I've managed to lose 12 kg (25 lbs) so far. On this diet I'm basically eating anything I want, but making sure I record what I eat in an iPhone app called Daily Count, which gives me visual feedback about how many more calories I'm allowed for the day. The other day I went to the onsen (hot springs) with my son, and he suddenly started dancing while singing "Everybody Dance Now," which is what we do in our family when something good happens for some reason. I asked him why he was doing the victory dance, and he nodded towards one of the other bathers, who happened to be quite a big larger than me. At 93kg (205 lbs), my weight is slightly above average for the U.S., but in Japan where people are so thin, I'm really huge by comparison, making seeing someone larger than me in the bath a noteworthy event. I've actually been asked in the past if I was a professional wrestler -- sigh.

So what's on your iPhone? Other favorites are Twittelator, BeejiveIM (expensive but the best chat app), TextGuru for editing text (you can even do HTML on it), Stanza for books, Solebon (the best solataire ever), VNC which I never use, Meow Cam for taking pics of cats, iKoto for making cool koto sounds, Midomi for finding song titles, and that's about all the main ones.
Meow Cam??
Anyway, you didn't mention how tall you are (at least not here). Proportion is important.
(Ai, problem with diets is making sure the nutrition is there. All the celery in the world might lead to very thin anaemia and scurvy!)

Yeah, what Corgi said. You might just be a big/tall guy.
I am average height, 175 cm/5'10". Sort of tall for here, as in, when I go a concert I can always see above the people in front of me, but not Obamarifically tall.
Sound like a good idea this iPhone diet. I might give it a shot, need to loose 10 KG for the summer (long way to go haha).
On my iPhone I run this:
Nightstand (excellent clock app)
Fring for IM
Facebook
Kotoba! (dictionary based on Jim Breen's wwwedict)
Kanjiflip (flashcards, studying hard)
Wikiamo for Wikipedia
Weatherradar
Trapster for finding those pesky speedtraps
Hyves! (Dutch version of Facebook)
GPSlite (GPS addon)
Shazam for finding song names.
SFNetNews for reading news related to the sourceforge network (/. etc...)
VNC which I use a lot.
