Blog to Fit Friday Wrap-Up. Nov 28, 2008
by admin on November 28, 2008
in weekly wrap-up
Week two is history at BlogToFit. How did all the Americans do with Thanksgiving? Were you able to resist all the yummy food or did you indulge? Even if you’re gripping a bottle of Pepto Bismol tight today, don’t sweat it. Or actually, DO sweat it. Just increase your activity over the next few days to offset the indulgences!
A news report said today that a typical Thanksgiving Day meal is about 1,900 calories and takes 18 miles to walk the weight off.
The highlights this week:
- On Monday, David Wright talked about how difficult change is. Also, Tara posed the age old question, what weighs more, Jay Leno’s head or you?
- On Tuesday, Tara dissed skinny people and laid out her fitness plan.
- On Wednesday, we all weighed in and most of us were a pound or two lighter this week than last week! Congrats!
- On Thursday, Dave Fowler talked about losing fat – the sub-optimal way! Then he scared small children everywhere by posing in nothing but his skivvies and posting the photo on our site.
Joining the fun for Wednesday Weigh-In this week:
Avlor is a loser (!) who uses a Wii Fit as part of her fitness regime which seems like far too much fun to be fair but after reading of her experiences what how many people now inform Santa that their kids (cough cough) might quite like to have one . . .
notSupermum has obviously been charmed by Dave F and his shameless attempt at becoming the Blog To Fit hottie by posted provocative photos of himself. Anyway, she has also promised to post pictures of her quite fabulous weight loss progress next week – although I’m told there will be clothes involved.
That Girl 39 suddenly thinks she’s Irene Cara or something as she’s not jogging along the beach with Flashdance in her head. Whatever gets you there, ThatGirl, whatever gets you there!
Mike Goad has been unwell so is in need of some Blog To Fit love, so we’re sending it across post haste along with a big batch of cyber hugs.
Deconstructing Jen take a deep breath – this week Jen lost 4.8 lbs. You are such a loser Jen! Good for you! She’s also taken on the drinking as much water as is humanly possible thing, and claims success too.
A Dad’s Life another ‘water’ convert and a blogger who has made a commitment to get out running, cut backon the vino and “I will limit myself to a small slice of pie per day at dinner AND then only eat half of it” – way to go that man!
DC Urban Dad is also a loser but if you need another reason to go visit how about the fact that he’s posted just about the worst photoshopped pic of himself. That is SO not his head on that body. Is it?
Remember, whether you are lurking or this is your first time here, there’s still time to join along at any point. This isn’t like an episode of Lost or something where if you miss even one, you’re doomed to playing catchup forever. Join in at ANY time! This is an open ended process as each of us has our own goals. Thanks to everyone who has been participating and helping to grow this blog.
Question of the week:
While we’re all bloggers here at BlogToFit, this group project is new for us. We’ve got some great things in store for you but before we get too far ahead of ourselves in planning, we’d like to ask you what you would like to see as this site grows? Feel free to let us know how we’re doing and where we can improve.
From all of us at BlogToFit, have a healthy weekend and we’ll see you again on Monday!

Hey there,
Thanks for the mention!
Yup, I’m trying to get back to my college days when I was fit and trim. Good luck to everyone!
All the best

I would really like to know what all works for everyone.

Hey Linz, welcome aboard.
You’ll find lots of fun and support here but let me apologise right now for Dave F who has a tendancy to talk about men’s underpants and post pictures of himself in the raw. That’s ‘raw’ not ‘phwor’!
Although, judging by notSupermum below, he’s appealing to some of the ladies . . .

Haaaaaaaaaahahahahahahahaha
Ha! I love the idea of Dave F being the Blog to Fit poster boy! It’s difficult to ignore a man in cotton boxers giving that come hither look – I can’t wait for next week’s photo.

Looks like Fowler has a fan!
Please, don’t encourage him too much. I don’t want him going all Full Monty on us!

I have several fans Dave. They write directly to me and send me, ahem, ‘garments’ in the mail.
Full Monty you say. Hmmmm?

There was a come hither look? Crikey, I’ll have to perfect that one so it’s on tap!
LMAO you little leg puller, you!
[Reply]
Maybe she meant, gone-wither?

David Fowler Reply:
November 28th, 2008 at 2:58 pm
LMAO.
Yes, that’s right Dave. You go ahead and market me as contraception!
[Reply]
notSupermum, did you say ‘come hither look’?
Seriously, I’ve gone back and had another look (I forced myself to do it just for you) and I can’t see it myself.
Looks more like a ‘come near me and I’ll break wind in your general direction’ look.

Yeah, I did say that, but in my defence I’d like to point out that I have been single for 6 years and may have got confused! I’ve forgotten what come hither looks like now….

Hahahaha

Hi guys
Well, with BlogToFit at the forefront of my mind, I did cut out the excess at Thanksgiving. Have just posted about it, so check it out. I also have dusted off my scales. Haven’t got on them yet mind, (one little step at a time) but I will. And then I can really get with the action – at some point after the turkey has gone down and I’ve had my morning wee!
But hey, I have started to eat better since joining BlogToFit and the cookie jar has remained half full instead of half empty…
Everyone is doing so well here. Three cheers all round from Mom/Mum!

M/M, having to contend with the food fest that is Thanksgiving can’t have been easy.
I’m glad Blog To Fit has helped you. It’s very pleasing to hear!
Perhaps we should designe a range of Blog To Fit cookie jars that work like a piggy bank? YOu can slot the cookies in easily enough, but you need a knife to slide them back out again.

Or maybe every time you open the jar, a voice says, “Really? Another cookie?”
BlogToFit has already helped me lose weight and I have you to thank for it, Fowler. I hung that pic of you in your boxers on my fridge and I haven’t eaten in two days! Neither has anyone else in my family, for that matter. Thanks!

Yeah, the naked photo was a joke alright! I haven’t laughed that hard in years! Also the first time that I ever laughed and vomited at the same time. Thanks!
