Climbing Back on the Weight Loss Wagon

I started my weight loss journal in 2006. Back then I was 200 lbs and wore a women's size 20. During that year, I dropped 30 lbs., but I spent 2007 on a plateau. I became so frustrated with trying to get back into the weight loss habit that I completely fell off the wagon. I stopped writing weight loss journal entries. I stopped exercising. I started letting my food get the better of me again. And that's when the weight started creeping back on. In 2008, I started gaining rather than losing or maintaining. But I'm putting a stop to that now. I'm re-dedicating myself to writing entries into my weekly weight loss journal, exercising daily, and controlling those emotional food binges.

If you'd like to join me, please introduce yourself in the Kristen's Chubby Buddies forum in the Kristen's Guide Community. I'll also be using forum discussions to help me create better weight loss articles, printables, calculators, workbooks/journals, and community tools that you can use to help you on your way to becoming a healthier you.

Starting Your Dream Business in Your Pajamas (This one's for Cindy)

Cindy is a mom, an artist, and a friend of mine who wants to start her own home-based greeting card business. She asked me to give some extra details about how to start a small business from her house, so I decided to update my "Starting Home Based Business" article, so everyone else can read those extra details as well.

If you ever dreamed about starting your own business (even just so your hobby can pay for itself rather than draining your savings account), then check out the article at

I Need Suggestions

I'm trying to brainstorm ideas for new printables, and I figured that while I was at it, I should probably ask my loyal fans and random visitors what they would like to see.

So help me help you. Go to the printable suggestions forum and vote in a poll and/or add a new post to tell me what you want to see.
