Bloggers, Video Bloggers, Online diary Keepers

So I started keeping a blog, more for me than for anyone else but I do like comments and feedback. I feel like it makes me more accountable or I can confess to to the world when I fall off track.

Who keeps a blog or vlog?

Why do you keep it?

Post a link so we can follow!

Here's a link to my blog... I'm not banded yet, but I will be!

I keep a blog so I can watch my progress and so others who are considering it can see what to expect. Here is the link to it

YouTube - JewelJolyn's Channel

Hope you find it helpful.

I, too, just started a blog but I will not be banded for about 6 weeks. I wanted a way to get my thoughts out there, meet other people who had undergone the same feelings, thoughts and aspirations and WOW has it been helpful. The women I have met have truly inspired me, so I hope that at some point, once I have been banded, a newbie may find my blog as helpful as theirs have been for me!!

I started a blog for the same reason, just to keep a record of this wonderful journey I began. Now I have a great group of band/blogger buddies who I exchange tips, information and ideas. Feel free to follow!

Banded Mommy

I have found the most wonderful people through blogging. here is a post I made last week about our lapband blogging community. The link for my blog is in my signature:

"In this lapband blogland of ours you can find:

The young, the "more seasoned", and every age in between.

Baby bandsters, experienced bandsters, those who chose gastric bypass, or those who just want to lose some weight.

The loud outgoing bandsters (are you pointing your finger at me?), the more reserved, the shy, the ones who want to be naked publicly.

The humble, the proud, the lost.

Teachers, writers, mothers, students, nurses, lawyers, somebodies.

The rich, the "money challenged".

Those from the land of education and those from the school of hardknocks.

Forever fatties (not after the band) and fresh fatties.

Those of us who started at higher weights, and those of us who did not.

Girls and (well mostly girls) and at least one male blogger.

Bloggers from every religion and race.

Bloggers from America, Australia, Dubai, and Paris.

Pear shaped, hour glass shaped, and just out of shape.

Those who love people of the same sex, opposite sex, or just love sex period.

We are a melting pot of personalities and life experiences. We are pretty amazing. And we are growing, even while are waist size is shrinking.

Pat yourselves on the back blog buddies. Because sometimes you make a difference in the lives of complete strangers. And sometimes those complete strangers become some of you closest friends."

Amy is our unofficial Cheerleader for the Bander bloggers :mad:

She is a wonderful motivator for all of us and is right there when we get discouraged.

I blog here: Banded Girl

I started my blog to chronicle my journey and to help others who are on the same path as me

[MandaPanda 0]

I started a blog because I was inspired by other lapband bloggers. I'm also not telling many people in real life and the people who blog and read blogs seem so supportive and caring. It really makes you feel good about what you're doing for yourself. I'm still in preband land but if anyone's interested...

I follow several of the above blogs (Hi, Amy and Dee!) and have kept my own one for the past 15 months. It's a fantastic way to keep track of your progress and an incredible source of support and encouragement! Link to mine is below!
