The Demise of a Weight Loss Blog

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 [...]

On her Bio page she gives a pretty brief overview of her journey, including how she changed her mindset and managed to [...]

A Blogger Needs Some Words of Encouragement

October 9, 2007

From Big T:
I am failing.
The same shit that always happens to me when I try to lose weight is happening again.
And seriously, I don't have a clue as to why.
I've gotten lazy again, I'm eating poorly again, I'm not working out.
