As I'm trying to get back into the swing of things on my weight loss journey I thought this challenge posted by Darren Rowse at ProBlogger was appropriately timed.

I am fat, not fit was my first post. Given the title of my blog it seemed appropriate to make sure everyone knew I really didn't consider myself fit. That post was almost three years ago and I am more out of shape today than I was then. Not good.

It's a hard one to pin down but I think the post I enjoyed writing the most was In Which I Tell My Wife About My Weight Loss Blog. Up until this point I had been a closet weight loss blogger.

I don't get as many comments as I used to, which is no surprise given what a miserable failure I currently am and that I don't write on here as much as I should, but back in the day I used to be able to get some good feedback from the blogging community. One post that had great discussion was 9 Tips For Kick-Starting Your Dormant Weight Loss Blog, and I am currently utilizing some of those very same techniques.

I've been reading the Anti-Jared ever since my Tony Posnanski Interview, and the guy has written tons of posts that I wish I had written, but none more so than his recent Gaining weight never felt so good. Tony is the man.

It's hard to define a post that has helped people since I haven't been the role model around here that I had hoped to be, but I hope I helped June from The Path to Health when she won my biggest blog contest prize to date, a Fuji Bike.

I'm not sure people really got it, but my favorite post title was I am a Boiled Frog. Time to start turning up the heat.

Finally, the post I wish more people had read was Reducing the Clutter of Life. Personally I think it is well-written and carries an important message.

This was a fun trip down memory lane, thanks to Darren for the idea. If any of my readers take, or already have taken, the challenge let me know and I will link up your entry here.

Another year has almost come on gone and spurred on by Blogapalooza I have put together a list of my favorite posts from each month of 2008 – in chronological order starting in month number 1, January:

Running Milestone Achieved – I had a goal of running for one mile without stopping and I managed to finally do it. But then like Forrest Gump I kept on running, running until I had run two miles without stopping. Three would have to wait. And is still waiting.

Weightloss Struggles Continue – A constant theme in 2008 was struggling with trying to lose weight. I like this post because it reminds me of why I keep this weight loss blog – as a vehicle to make these little vents that hopefully are cumulative into a successful outlook at some point.

2008 was a tough year for me in many respects but nevertheless it is fun to look back it at through these posts. Happy early New Year and good luck to all of us in 2009!
