What I want from this blog.

This is a private space where we can all go through the weight loss journey together. There are a few things that I will insist upon, but ultimately the choice is yours as to whether you'd like to do them.

I would really like people to write a short introduction when they join this blog - why you want to lose weight, why now is the right time, your ultimate goal and quite a lot of short term goals. I would really like people to post once a week/fortnight (as they see fit) with weights, measurements (if you're doing measurements) and a quick summary of the week. I think it would be a great idea if we all wrote something positive about our weight loss week. Once a month a full body pic would show us just how far we're going.

I would like this to be a place of support. If you're struggling you can turn to us here. Sometimes its nice to use this blog to empty your head. I'd like it if we could use this place to swap recipes and tips. I don't think this blog would be best used for calorie counting or as a food diary.

I want this blog to be positive. Its going to be an uphill battle. Its going to be hard work and there are times when you're going to want to give up. The outcome is worth the fight though. If you have the time/money/motivation to see it through. I don't want people to berate themselves or feel guilty for slipping up. It happens. Enjoy the moment and get back to eating healthy tomorrow.

I would also like it if we could group our blog posts together via tags. (e.g phishez - results, recipes, tips)

This blog is for all contributors. Ultimately I want everyone here to be comfortable. What I want isn't the final say. So, are you still interested?

Email me at phishez_rule@hotmail.com if you want to join.

Yeah, I've thought of a way around the photos. We can still post them when we do our monthly bit, but post them in a seperate post and keep it as a draft.
