You know that David Bowie song, Changes? "Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes...turn and face the strain...." Yeah, so I think of that song when I am asked about life and change (if you are younger, you may need to google the song and who David Bowie is). The funny thing about that is that the song really doesn't have a lot of correlation to my life; or does it? As with any story, there's ... Continue Reading
I am not the biggest loser BUT I am a great maintainer! (guest post)
Please welcome Jody! It has taken me ages---but Ive finally dragged her over to my neck of the 'net...

Even if a person loses 10 pounds, that is something to be celebrated – ... Continue Reading
Being the Best Version of Me.
Howdy there Mizfit'ers! I'm Brandon from A Healthy Dad, and I'm very happy and humbled to be writing in this space today. I think my history and struggles with weight are very similar to many others out there. I was overweight pretty much my entire life, for as long as I can remember. I went through those awkward high school years as an overweight teen. Around the time I started college, I ... Continue Reading
A magic pill (guest post).
“How did you do it?” That is the question I get a lot when people find out I lost over 100 pounds. I then proceed to tell them just how I did it. And I watch their faces fall. Disappointment. I counted my calories. “Oh, I can’t do that.” They say. I started swimming. “I hate exercising.” Most of the time the conversation ends after that. No, I don’t have a magic pill that ...

How I lost weight after pregnancy (guest post).
How I lost weight after pregnancy. The first thing to do is not to worry about your weight after pregnancy, you have a baby to look after and that is more than enough to think about for the time being! Wait until around six weeks to even think about losing weight. Pregnancy takes a lot out of your body and it needs time to recover. Many women still look like they are pregnant after birth but ...

A Detour From The Skinny Goal (guest post).
Im honored to have Mary's musings up in herre today. Ive met her in person and, believe me, she is precisely as kickass in person as she comes across on her blog. Please to enjoy.

So I embarked on a journey in order to reach the land of ... Continue Reading

JackSh*t, Gabby Reece, PureVia, & me (giveaway post).
Much to his chagrin, the inimitable JackSh*t outed himself in the comments as a juggler. Stalking & emailing ensued then, much to my delight, musings on juggling & weight-loss filled my in-box. THANK YOU JackSh*t! Weight Loss, The Ultimate Juggling Act A Pennsylvania State Trooper pulls over this car on I-81, a couple of miles north of the PA/MD state line. When the trooper ...

Viewer Mail: Who’s yer guru?
This week's Viewer Mail post is MY question for YOU. The collective you. The ROYAL you. The you whose blogs & comments I look forward to reading on a daily basis. It's a question I pondered when I launched MizFit, something I mulled even more following Jillian Michaels' guest post at MizFit & a query which was brought to my mind once again when DietGirl & I launched our ...
