i met a girl online and we became weight loss buddies. Then we decided to start a blog too its http://gettingourskinnyon.blogspot.com

Its all about our ups, downs, likes, and dislikes that we have experienced. We try to post at least weekly but hey it works. We are still on our journey, but this has been a great experience.

OMG as if I didn't read enough blogs, now I have a TON more to look at! This is so great - I'm OBSESSED with weight loss blogs (and weight loss memoirs, and success stories in magazines...)

May I give myself a shout out? I'm writing away at http://watchmybuttshrink.blogspot.com

I really love Kath Eats Real Food and Eat Live Run. Both great ones. They're foodies. I'm not sure if that qualifies as a weightloss blog or not. :) I'm glad I found yours though!

Hey, thanks for the shout out!! I love a lot of the blogs mentioned in the comments already :)

There are so many wonderful people out there to "meet" through blogging. I love the supportive community we have. And health/fitness blogs too :)

Be well!

First off, have to pimp my blog: Choosing Losing
I’m proud that I have a happy, non-emo before picture. So sick of the sullen, sad, looking women in a before and then have them be all Mary Kay-ed out afterwards. I have no “forever” picture yet, still on the journey.

2009-07-09T10:45:49.490-04:00

I tend to gravitate towards weight loss blogs that also involve some of the writers personal life. It just seems more inspiring and intimate that way. Your blog and Charlotte's blog (The Great Fitness Experience) are really the only "professional" grade blogs I read. (Your head is swelling right now, isn't it? So proud you could burst, right?)

Anyway, I'm bravely and selfishly going to attempt to link my own blog here which deals with weight loss, fitness and my chaotic life in general. Wish me luck....here I go....

Hah, nice - I love finding new and funky weight loss blogs / sites - here's a few (including mine - "official disclaimer")!

Low Carb Fight Club

Mark's Daily Apple

Castle Grok

"Got some before/after pictures yourself?"

I have a lot of "before" pictures.
I hope to reach an "after-worthy" physique by the end of this year.

Great post!

2009-07-08T23:42:54.547-04:00

I write a small weight loss blog on my own efforts to shed the pounds and develop a love for exercise called Spud On The Run. There are a couple of progress pictures but I haven't taken any for a couple of months (must do that).

Also you have mentioned quite a few of my favourites - DietGirl and Fit Bottomed Girls, plus quite a few that I must go and check out.

2009-07-08T22:01:39.261-04:00

Great list! A lot of my faves are already there.

Here's one more that I absolutely ADORE:
Fitcetera

And come visit me too, she says shyly, trying to put aside any false modesty.

2009-07-08T21:34:09.304-04:00

I love any weight loss blog that has before and after pictures. That's what gets me hooked!

Crabby, have you noticed that people in their after shots seem to have gained an amazing suntan along with the weight loss?

I totally starred this post in my reader because I'm in HUGE need of inspiration. I seem only to stumble on the irritating as all get out ones. Where were you with that code months ago? ;-)

I read:

Lynn's Weigh
Refuse to Regain
Smaller Fun Pants

There are others that I read but I can't think of them right now and my arm is tired and I have to go to a support group for whiners.

2009-07-08T18:46:54.026-04:00

Oooo, you mentioned a lot of my favorites, and I'm looking forward to trying out some of the ones you mentioned.

Lynn Haraldson-Bering's story on cnn.com and her blog (Lynn's Weigh) were my intro to the weight loss blogging world. Other blogs that I enjoy that haven't been mentioned yet are the following

Refuse to Regain(thinking ahead here!)

Debby Weighs In

Fab Fatties

Baby Tea Leaves

foodfoodbodybody(another gal with type 2 diabetes getting healthy!)

The Sassy Pear

Positively Losing

and Charlie Hills' excellent Back to the Fridge (He also wrote a very funny book on the subject, "Why Your Last Diet Failed You and How This Book Won't Help You on Your Next One")

My own blog is not especially exciting these days--I think I get more of a kick in commenting on other blogs--but I do have a pretty good success story, if I say so myself. Here are my progress pictures in my health quest; I've lost almost 80 pounds, but more importantly, feel much more healthy and energetic. (And am whoopin' type 2 diabetes' posterior. :-D)
