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. I say real, because unfortunately there has been a rash of fake ones lately. I’m quite confident the blogs represented here are real people with real and interesting stories.
I’m going to do the following for each of the blogs, I hope you follow along and at a minimum do #3:
- Write a little blurb about the blog here
- Add the blog to my sidebar
- Subscribe to the blog
281
The newest of the new blogs, which was started yesterday, 281 is written by Cincinnati, OH blogger Perfectlychic. Why 281 for the title of her blog? As she puts it, “So where does 281 come in? Well— 281 is where I got disgusted with my life in general. 281.5 to be exact.”
Here is what Perfectlychic would like to get out of her new weight loss blog:
This blog is going to be the story of my liberation- and the tribulations that come along the way. What is my ultimate goal? To be more satisified with the way I look. I would love to break into the 100′s- that would be my ultimate goal! It just seems so ominous— I will be updating with what I’m doing to lose weight-those three dreaded numbers- along with how (if) my life changes because of it.
Turtle Progress
Liz, or Ms. Turtle as she likes to be called, started Turtle Progress “in order to share the pitfalls and insights I experience along my journey to lose 80 pounds and gain some sanity.”
Here is how she introduced herself back in October when she started her blog:
Hi! I’m Liz. The bare facts are that I’m 31 years old and 5′3 tall, and I weigh about 200 pounds (exact weight to be determined at weigh-in this weekend). I haven’t always been fat, but I have already spent several years at my current size. Informal survey says: there’s a lot to be said for being at a lower weight!
Fitbethlin’s Journal
Bethlin doesn’t have as much to lose as most of us, but that doesn’t mean she doesn’t deal with all of the same struggles.
Here is how she is approaching her weight loss goals:
Of course, without the stress and time crunch of work, I’m also trying to lose those dratted 30 lbs. Again. I’m following the SparkPeople method this time. I’m in Stage 1, which is basically the “warm-up” before you get really reved up and in full “diet” mode.
Smoke Yourself Thin!
Julie has found blogging as another method for getting support. As she wrote in her first post in November, “I keep hearing all this stuff about support being important, and this will have to be my support.”
Here is how Julie describes her blog:
Actually, this has nothing to do with smoking, nor Troy McClure. I’m a single woman, late 30s, trying to lose 50 pounds and keep it off. So far I’m down 20, and it’s a slow road, filled with exercise but not too much food restriction. I’ve always been a fruit and veggie fan, and was vegetarian for a long time (but not now). I don’t diet, don’t obsess, don’t beat myself up if I eat something fattening occasionally. It’s okay, really. I’ve studied nutrition and biochemistry, but mostly what I’ve learned is from trial and error. And I do mean error!
