Successfully Losing Weight in Your Forties

January 24, 2009

One of the things that concerns me about my weight loss journey is my age and the impact it has on my being successful. When I was young it seemed so easy to lose weight when I needed to. As I have hit my forties it seems to be so much more difficult. Not that [...]

January 18, 2009

While it gives me great joy to celebrate new weight loss bloggers it pains me to think that some of them “won’t make it.” At some point in their journey they will stumble and for whatever reason their new blog will become at best a burden, at worst a lasting testament to their failure (looking [...]

Celebrating New Weight Loss Bloggers

January 4, 2009

The last few months of the year is prime time for starting a new weight loss blog. I’ve decided to highlight the real ones I have found recently.

An Hour on the Treadmill

January 3, 2009

One of the things I know I have to do to be successful with losing weight this year is to put more time on the treadmill. But it’s so darn boring! Workout music helps, but if you are going to run for at least an hour like I want to start doing, then you need [...]
