I started with a Blogger account, which is very user-friendly, and then switched over the Wordpress, which isn't tough to use, but takes a little getting used to. Please feel free to email me if you have specific questions! I'd be happy to help you start your own blog! :) Allison, Generally, I will eat a 150-200 calorie snack (if I am hungry) before exercising. My snack is usually a piece of bread with peanut butter/apple butter, homemade mini muffin, or handful of cereal. Christy and Laura,

More importantly, its nice to see that other people think about their body/mind/soul balance as much as I do! Some people have an easy time losing/maintaining weight loss without talking about it whereas I find the talking to be the most important part. I agree with other's fears on starting a blog...but I'm hopefully slowly overcoming them As a relatively new blog reader, its amazing how many new ideas and foods I’ve tried already.

I've always made healthy choices for the most part, but being a blogger has made me "stick to my guns" a little more and consistently eat well and exercise. It also gives me little goals to work towards fitness-wise with all the challenges out there!

Also, I feel like I can be more open with my new found friends than I can with my old friends. I love that we're all on the same page regarding eating and healthy living - not so much with my "real life" buds. I also find out more nutrition facts and new products by reading everyone's blogs. Thanks for the list of benefits :) Have a great Tuesday!!

It has also shown me that my "goal" weight is probably too low - I am 5'6" and I exercise regularly and while I weigh 120lbs now, I was hoping to get to 115lbs. After reading a lot of health/fitness/etc blogs, I have realized that my current weight is probably healthy for my height.
