Naked Saturday: 292.8 (-61.8)
Celebrating: The return of my WW leader from her 3-week trip to Europe. I am so glad I shopped around and found a leader whose focus is consistently helpful for me and who is a brilliant cognitive-behavioral group therapist without even knowing it.
Grateful for: The power of writing. I’m beginning to think that writing things down is the most important step between dreaming and achieving. Writing things down takes bold daring, courage, and moxie. It invites success into my life.
Starting weight: 354.6 pounds
Last week: 294.2
This week: 292.8
Change this week: -1.4
Total change: -61.8
Next milestone: 65 pounds gone
This week’s mantra: Let the storm blow all around you. If you cannot move forward, drop your anchor and just stay pointed in the right direction.

Hello. I am a university professor who is conducting research on WEIGHT LOSS BLOGGERS AND THE ROLE BLOGGING HAS PLAYED IN THE BLOGGER’S WEIGHT LOSS.
As you may be aware, a lot of research has been done over the years on weight loss but very little has been done on blogging and weight loss. I hope you will help me remedy this.
I have chosen you as a potential research participant because you have a weight loss blog, have a weight loss goal of 100 pounds or more, and have been blogging for at least three months.
If you choose to participate in this study, you will be asked to complete a survey that I will email you. Your answers will be completely confidential and I will use a pseudonym of your choice in the final study.
I have an information sheet about the study I would be happy to share with you. Please email me at aldridga@nsuok.edu if you would like to take a look at it.
Thank you for your time and best of luck to you on your weight loss journey.
Sincerely,
Amy Aldridge Sanford, PhD
