Fatbloggers unite!

Looks like TWiTer Wil Harris has joined the fatblogger movement...

Wil Harris | Peak Weight: 248 | Current Weight: 240 | Goal Weight: 210
YOU?!?!
... and YOU!?!?
... and maybe you!?!?

Basically the goal is to share what's working and support each other in being not-fat.

Format: One blog post a day with your weight as the title. You can also add to the post what you're doing in terms food consumption, exercise, and what's working for you--however, the base line for involvement is three numerical characters a day in the subject line of a post.

Note: Andrew Krucoff pinged me about doing a blogger weight loss challenge a couple of weeks ago, but I don't think a competition is really a long-term thing. I think we need to start an educational and support movement. Scoble are you going to get in on this?

Note2: We are waiting for someone to start the ThinBloggers movement any moment. Basically blogger who are just so fit and healthy it makes us crazy: Nick Denton, Xeni, Lockhart... the list goes on an on. :-)

21. Hey Jason:
Looks like you and your pals at Pay Per Post are on the same page. Maybe you can all be weight-loss buddies ;-)

22. I'm starting from almost 250. 220 as a goal for the end of the year. 190 as a long-term goal. You see, your starting point is my long-term goal, man...

25. I smiled when I saw this as another blogger/podcaster and I decided enough is enough and decided that we would do a very public diet - http://www.middleageshed.co.uk It is purely a diet not a business and it has worked in the last 7 weeks I have lost 24lbs - nothing like having to do a podcast weigh in and a daily diary for motivation! Mind you still 26lbs to go....anyone who wants to join us or come on the podcast just let me know anna@theengagingbrand.com !

26. I currently weigh 220 I started deiting (1500 Cal a day) and exercising (eliptical 20-40 min. 7 days a week) three weeks ago. I lost 8 lbs the first week (from 225 to 217) then gained 3 back. i'm tracking calories and fat closely and i'm not slacking on the exercise. What gives?

27. That's why I started FatBloggers.net! We're just a bunch of guys who are banding together (no pun intended) in order to drop some weight. It's worked for me so far, I'm down 47 pounds as of tonight. I should hit the 5-0 mark in the next week or two.

28. My highest weight was 237lbs and i now way around 160lbs (6' tall). I struggled with weight my whole life, putting it on and then dieting and exercising to take it off again. I would experience great shame and guilt over the fact that i couldn't control my weight and for years i struggled by worrying about it.

I used to eat because i was bored, tired, depressed, stressed, frustrated, felt less then or it just tasted too damn good! Through support and education I've now replaced that "need" to eat with a healthier way of life.

I've maintained my weight loss and no longer think about it but most importantly i'm now a happy and content man. I have improved my relationships with my friends and family, i am more humble, more giving and more considerate to others. I sleep better, have more energy and my life is a lot more manageable.

If any of this relates to you check out this link and see if you identify with the it. It may be you, it may be someone you know. It's a free support group, there are no fees or hidden agendas, just to live life and be happy.

A lot of men fit in this criteria, we just don't have the avenue to discuss it.

If this reaches one person, then objective is achieved...

29. With 50 pounds lost so far, fatblogging has worked wonders for me. I've got a few more to go, though.

31. I just read about you in my local paper today. Good for you, I wish you the best with your weight loss (and blogging). I started my WL blog recently, and the support is great for motivation. I don't blog my weight daily, though I do weigh myself every day.

Good luck!!

34. Hi, yeah, its a slow road to weight loss, I find severly cutting the high glycemic carbs and sugars help ten fold, its something I talk about in my free online weight loss program. Never give up. The trouble with weight loss is its like aging, taking a look at yourself in the mirror everyday, you see no difference. It'll happen.

35. Hello, This is Mary

I am 36 years old with 2 toddlers. My youngest just started day care last week- which still feels a little strange. I haven't had this much time to myself in years. First thing I want to do is lose the extra pounds I put on during the last pregnancy. One of the girls next door has suggested I join her walking group two days a week. After my first pregnancy I lost around 35 pounds using the Herbalife products, but when I called the man that sold them to me three years ago he told me this week he doesn't sell them anymore. He told me to look on the internet. It's disappointing because he was really nice and he called me regularly to make sure I was using their products correctly. It was nice to have someone checking in with me every week to see how I was and it kept me motivated.

I searched on the internet for someone that sells Herbalife in New Jersey. I found many websites but I don't want
just to buy the products, I want to find someone trustworthy that sells the products so I can also meet them and get started again.

Could anybody here recommend someone in New Brunswick?
.

Thanks, Mary
