Getting Healthy Blog

A few months ago I had joined a "Getting Healthy" blog with a number of other women. The purpose of the blog was to have a place to go to discuss our successes, frustrations, ideas, etc with getting healthy and weight loss. It was a great place to get support from others. Unfortunately, I am not sure what happened, but the blog is no more. I was very disappointed to see it go, so I was thinking of starting my own "Getting Healthy" blog. So, my question is, would any of you be interested in participating with me? The main purpose for it, to me, would be a place to lift each other up and motivate each other to stay on track. Other things I think it could include are links to great recipes, great workouts, great articles about getting healthy, etc... It would be a work in progress. I would make the blog private, so that only the people participating can view it, add to it and participate.

I am very proud to report that I have lost six pounds to date! I want to be able to keep up with my program and continue to lose weight and be healthy. So, who's with me??? Post a comment or e-mail me at amylynn3_2000@yahoo.com if you are interested!

Thanks Lou, but I already started a new one. I don't know what happened, but when I tried to go to the old one...it said the blog no longer exists. It is no longer in my dashboard either. Crazy???

Amy,
That is weird..... I just went and checked it a few minutes ago, and it is GONE. COMPLETELY GONE..... Everyone had administrative rights, so one of the readers must have deleted it..... Who knows why or WHO, but I would love to know......

Count me in! I've recently gotten serious about my health and weight loss. I've been working out with a trainer and hitting the gym nearly every day. I would love to give/get more support and encouragement.

Hi Amy!
I'm interested too! I could REALLY use some support right now! I'm having lots of issues relating to my diabetes. I need to eat better and exercise more.... a lot more! I could certainly use the motivation! It's so hard to get started!

Thanks for the invite! It's so good to hear from you!
