I find that I am so much more on track when I blog every day about my struggles. I lost 52 pounds in a year and had/have a few more to lose. I then regained 10 and kick-started my blog. I'm now down 3.5 and well on my way. Absolutely agree! I find that I am so much more on track when I blog every day about my struggles.

Not sure how I can get followers and support, but reading other blogs like yours is helpful!! I tried the whole "buddy program" as recommended by Dr. Oz and using the message boards, but in the end I did not find them as helpful. I like writing my blog because I can be completely honest and it forces me to be accountable to the people who "read". Keep doing what you are doing!!!!!

I have to admit I needed the support that is why I made my blog. I think blogging is helping me so much more than if I just tried to do it without documenting my efforts. This is a life saver for me and only regret is I wish I would have started sooner. <strong>I know how you feel - but no time like the present!

It wasn't until I started blogging about my weight loss that I really became successful. The support and accountability the blog provides are huge factors in helping me stay on track. I really wish more people would hear this message and start their own blogs. I really think it's one of the best kept "secrets" of any weight loss program.
