Everything I Know About Losing Weight…

Ummmm…





Well, there’s…




I’m pretty sure….




Hmmmmm…


Okay, you got me. I’m pretty sure that – if you just type a random string of characters and then add a “.com”, you’re likely to land on a site dispensing better weight loss advice than I offer here. 

It’s often been said that an infinite amount of monkeys typing for an infinite amount of years would produce the entire works of Shakespeare. Those same experts have done the math and figure that six monkeys typing for twenty minutes could reproduce my blog.

Truth to tell, I’ve offered some really terrible advice over the years. Remember when I said to carry around a bag of Milky Way bars in your gym bag in case your blood sugar goes too low or you really feel like a Milky Way bar? Well, it turns out that wasn’t a good idea at all (yes, I’ll wait right here while you go take that bag of Milky Way bars out of your gym bag). 

Actually, a lot of the so-called “reputable” advice often turns out to be spotty. I’m still not sure whether I’m supposed to be taking fish oil capsules or not. Some reports say that it provides healthful benefits; others say it causes you to grow gills or contract cancer or something. Who knows who’s right and who’s wrong?

But I can tell you one thing…

This site helps me.

It keeps this weight-loss journey on my mind. 

It holds me accountable for the choices I make all week, even if I’m blogging something silly.

It keeps me in the game.

That’s why I’m here.


I have no earthly idea why you’re here.

  5. I think Beginning Anew has a good point. That's the most important thing about blogs - this may sound a little melodramatic, but the parts where we share our journeys through writing blogs, do a very good job at imitating life, only in a much more linear fashion. Plus, your journey is recorded by yourself, that might be a very useful point of reference both for you and for everyone who is going through the same thing.

    This might be a way too serious answer, but your blog is excellent and serves a good purpose. Maybe not always for practical advice, but certainly for moral support and encouragement.
