Weight Loss

I have been on Weight Watchers now for six days and it’s going well.

But we need your help.  Christy, Crooked Eyebrow and I are going to start candidly blogging about our weight loss on a  weight loss blog.  All it is, is a blog, us sharing our struggles and our triumphs.  The last time Christy and I lost all of our weight (which we gained some of it back due to pregnancy, we really did create wonderful habits and between the two of us, we lost over 90 pounds), anyway, we blogged everyday about weight loss on our own weight loss blogs and we are going to do it again, except this time, we are sharing a blog and this time, we are sharing our journey with Crooked Eyebrow.

Losing weight publicly is not easy, but we are up for the challenge.

So, what do I need from you?  I need you to help us come up with a name for our blog.  For the name, we want to make sure the domain is available, either the dot come or dot net, so try to keep that in mind.  Be clever, be funny, be serious, whatever you want.  Leave your suggestion in the comments and DON’T BE SHY!

Also, I posted over here where you will learn how much weight I lost during my first week.  And if you are wanting to lose weight, I hope it motivates you, even just a little bit.

    I use my blog to manily talk about my own weight issues (even if nobody reads it). I write for me to stay on path with my goals. When I journal about my eating/exercising, then I tend to stay on track better. If I have not wrotten recently it is because I have slacked off on my weight goals.

    Instead of talking about losing the weight, I just now call it OWL (Operation Weight Loss). Maybe you can try OperationWeightLoss.com because it abbreviates itself in such a nice way :)

    Way to go on your first week!! That’s great!

    I am on Day 3 of WW. I will weigh-in on Friday for the challenge I am doing, so it won’t be a full week, but I am sure hoping for a loss. I am keeping running updates on my blog.

    Looking forward to sharing the weight-loss journey with you! I’ll let ya know if i think of a brilliant name. ;o)

    I couldn’t even think of a tagline, so you know you are barking up the wrong creative tree with me. I do like whoever mentioned Flab to Fab but I just checked and it is not available! Boooo! I’ll keep thinking and let you know if I come up with anything else.

    Way to go Beth, Sounds like you are on the right track. I am looking forward to your weight loss blog, I have lost 27 pounds since May and can always use the extra motivation. My creative mind is not working right now but I will keep thinking about a name. Good Luck!!!!

    Way to take your weight loss mad seriously. Oh I hope you inspire me to do the same.

    Ok, some ideas….um….well….racking brain…getting nothing.

    Try again:

    B.L.O.W…Blogging about Lessening Our Waistlines
    The Three Dieting Amigas
    I Should Be Eating Celery
    Muffintops Be Gone

    Ok, i still got nothing.

    How about

    No More Weighting
    Tired of Weighting

    Thats about all I can come up with. Its early. I’ll try to think of more when I’ve had a cup (or 3) of coffee (these kids not sleeping at night are killing me!!).

    Okay, I am delurking for this. How bout…’The Weigh It Is’

    That is about as creative as I get.

    I love Anissa’s idea for ‘I Should Be Eating Celery’

  24. Lynette on September 11th, 2008 12:46 pm

    This is the best that I could come up with (which doesn’t say a lot!):

    * Why wait? Lose weight.

    * Losing weight at any rate.

    * We choose to lose.

    * Trim, slim and in the gym.

    Best of luck in finding a name.

    Say NO to cookies.
    There’s still hope.

    I am sure more random titles will pop into my head so stay tuned. ;o) And flabtofab.net is available. I think. Not quite sure how that stuff works.

    I saw Christy’s message on your other blog and thought “skinny moms club” sounded kind of cute. Sorry! That’s the best I’ve got.

    I went off someone else’s idea posted above for this one, but how about….

    from sweat pants to hot pants

    Let’s see…..

    How about….

    Shedding our skin
    or
    Frumpy no more
    or
    Feel Good, Look Good(FGLG.com)

    This all I can muster after finally putting 4 beautifully hyper children to bed!
    I would love to do this with you all! I love all of your blogs and read each one every day. Don’t comment a lot, just love to hear everyone else’s thoughts.

    Good Luck to all of you!

    I’m cracking up at all those title ideas. I really want to win the prize here, but alas, my creativity is gone by 9pm. I’ll work on it tomorrow. I’m excited to be a part of this (because I need a kick in the pants to motivate me) even if it’s only through a blog. Great idea, girls!

    Mine was A Weight Lifted, since I was hitting the gym and strength training is my favorite part of that. It was private, anyhow. I think that is a cool name.

    Beth, it was great to meet you tonight! Hope you enjoyed yourself!

    Waist watchers

    ok, that’s my two cents. Can’t wait to read tomorrow!

    Hi Beth…yes, I was one of THOSE people with the wrong URL…don’t know how it happened; I was actually starting to wonder where you went! Glad you’re hanging in there, keep sharing with us; we want to help each other heal if and when we can. You’re fab. As for names…all I can come up with is:

    WISHFUL WITHERING WITH WEIGHT WATCHERS…haha! that one gives me the giggles, but I have a weird sense of humour. If you don’t want to use the Weight Watchers name, how about:

    THE GREAT WEIGHT DEBATE or

    DROPPING EXCESS BAGGAGE or

    LOSING WEIGHT, GAINING GREAT…

    gosh, apparently I could go on forever….take care, thinking of you.

    I know I’m late to the game, but I just had to say I’m sort of in envy that you’re getting ready to blog your weight loss. i need to lose about 50 pounds and I have some serious eating issues…serious enough that if I did blog my progress (lack of) it would be anonymously. I do keep a handwritten journal which does allow the thoughts and feelings to flow…

    Good luck with the launch!

    With so many diets why are we so fat? There is some good information, but it is being overshadowed by a lot of junk. There is a reason why we are fat (fat factors). Most people don’t realize what they are doing to sabatoge their weight loss goals.
