Good for him....I did notice the last few Keynotes he was looking a little "pobsey."
Looked like he was wearing his sister's jeans.
I recently read a Nuerosurgen stated, "...if you are 30#'s overweight, you have everything!" High blood pressure, hypertension, pre-diabetes, heart disease, etc., etc.
I didn't buy my AW for the fitness function. That said, it is at east entertaining to watch (!) them, and in some sense I do feel motivated to close rings. I've seen no discernible health benefit from it. YMMV.
The story John Gruber tells at daringfireball [edit: Jim Dalrymple at The Loop] is very interesting and inspiring. He had a dramatic weight loss as a result of the watch.
I do often question the anecdotes of wealthy people or pro athletes reporting how they improve their health. When it is your job, or you can make it your job for no pay, things are way, way easier: I honestly think it is almost trivial to optimize your weight and health. Hire a personal trainer and cook (!). Build your own gym. Buy the best equipment, bikes, and trips on your own jet to cycle the most beautiful places. See the doctor every week. And don't get me started on Oprah Winfrey and how she turns diet-of-the-season into a monetary cash-cow(!).
And remember: the $400 or so for an AW (much less the iPhone to really make it useful) is a lot of money to most people, particularly those that look to the dollar menu at the fast food joint for their meals.
If Tim Cook needed to lose 30 lbs., Phil Schiller needs to lose 100.
Eddie's not far behind.
While they are gaining weight and most americans eat too much, I can't wait to see you guys at 60 or whatever. If you aren't aware -- our metabolisms slow as we age, meaning that even if you eat the same exact amount of food as you did in your twenties, you'll get fatter and fatter in your thirties on up. The only way to counter this is to take in less calories or exert more energy. Easy to say, harder to do -- eating less than you and your family have always eaten, finding new time to add workouts, etc...
Thats why people get fatter as they age. It's not always laziness or indulgence. You have to actually work at negsting this normal biological process.
"Cook said he wakes up at 3:45 a.m. each day to read emails and work out" Lucky him, he can go to bed at 8pm. And he should optimize his Inbox - if you need to wake up so early to read your emails, you are doing it wrong.
Ah another armchair executive. Let me know when your company is on the map. Any map.

He goes into Apple at 4:30AM.
Dr. Dre is one of the hardest working men in the industry so when he asked Craig Federighi what time he can go in it was a little inside joke for fans. Craig replied "well Tim goes in at 4:30" a kind of nudge at Dre. Both are competitive business men.
Its funny though to worry about your health but not about sleeping. I do workout but by God I need my sleep. Its really one of the most important things
Especially if weight training -- quality sleep is imperative for recovery and muscle growth, since the growing happens in bed, not the gym.
Tim Cook is 6'3" so 30 lbs is not that much compared to average 5'10" guy. All the extra weight is probably around his tummy which is easily concealed.
I don't look fat but medically, I am considered 20lbs overweight.

The entry point is not $400, and anyone who eats from fast food dollar menus is not concerned with their health.

These are late 2015 / early 2016:
Early 2017:
He seems to have lost the overhang on the stomach and his face/neck areas looks tighter. This is over the course of 1 year. The Apple Watch has only been available for 2 years. The best personal trainer is the one you have with you.
The next step they appear to be looking at is diet, if they could get a simple way for meals to pass the nutrition values to the watch then it knows how to set the targets better to burn off what you take in. These could even be number codes so they can have a company id and a product code. If you go into Starbucks and order a particular drink, it can have e.g STB10 on the side. Typing that code into the Watch would bring up all the data. It could also work with beacons so you don't have to type the codes but choose the item.
When they do marketing for the Watch, Apple focuses on the fitness aspect but I don't think that encourages couch potatoes nearly as much as showing results because they identify with the before pictures. Maybe they can fatten up Christy Turlington and film her as she burns it back off. They could use Phil Schiller but I like him better with more weight, he's too serious when he's slim. Jony Ive looks better slim though, get him on the Watch fitness plan then the marketing video would be him narrating about himself:
The $400 or so for an AW (much less the iPhone to really make it useful) is a lot of money to most people, particularly those that look to the dollar menu at the fast food joint for their meals, and yet it's cheaper than hiring a personal trainer and cook (!), building your own gym, buying the best equipment, bikes, and trips on your own jet to cycle the most beautiful places, and seeing the doctor every week.
The key element is conviction, or for some, motivation. Without that, or a personal trainer, all the other stuff is just stuff.
