Karen's Blog of the Week: Does This Blog Make Me Look Fat?

I know, I know. I have been torturing you all and making you wait to see my new hair...pictures are coming tomorrow!

(And nope. My new profile pic does not show my new style.)

But that's not really why you're here today, is it?

Yes, friends, it's time for a new Blog of the Week. I was pleased with the response to last week's blog and I hope you like this one, too. This week's feature is: Does This Blog Make Me Look Fat?

(Yeah, I know, I'm sort of going with a theme here. Sue me!)

From all the time I spend reading all of your blogs, I know I'm not the only one that really needs to get to living a healthy lifestyle. I certainly don't plan to make weight loss and lifestyle blogs the theme for the entire month of January, but I felt like this was a good one to spotlight.

Last week's BotW was from someone who has succeeded on that journey to health and skinniness--

(which is apparently a word since my Spell Check didn't flag it!)

--and is able to share the story of her journey.

This week's feature is written by three ladies that are at the beginning. Janet, Regina, and Elizabeth's Gone launched Does This Blog Make Me Look Fat--

(Isn't that such a cute name??)

--back in August. They have had their ups and downs, but I appreciate the chance to go through this experience right along with them, to celebrate their triumphs and commiserate the setbacks.

It's a great blog. They aren't whiny or full of excuses. They're living their lives and just trying to do the best they can.

These ladies are incredible and I hope you'll give them a little bit of encouragement as they all get going on their new goals for the new year!

  14. I love the name of the blog. How hilarious. I once saw a girl wear a shirt that said "Does my body make me looks fat?" Pretty funny.

    Anyway, I'll be sure to check out the blog. I really need to shed some pounds. My goal is 10 lbs. by May. Sounds like a wimpy goal, but I'm trying to be realistic.
