hello fatbloggers!
hello everyone!
i know what some of you are thinking right now; “who is this guy named joshua, and where did he come from?” long story short, i had the honor of being asked to come and contribute to this great little corner of the internet.
i have been blogging for roughly nine years now. my most recent endeavor has been on a site called love is the movement, which has gone through a name change, but has been active for about three years now. i only recently (august) came up with the idea to marry the blog with the weight loss journey.
you can check out the blog here. and you can check out the direct link to all the weight loss stuff here.
on to the important stuff. i am twenty-six years old, married, no kids (unless you count a dog and two cats), live in an apartment in northwest ohio, and decided i wanted to start losing weight when i hit 410 on the doctor’s scale. that was in august. since then i have lost fifty seven pounds, and am currently sitting at 353. i have a number of short-term and long-term goals set, those will all be revealed future posts, but for now i’ll tell you that my end goal is to get to 210, a total overall loss of 200 pounds.
it’s going to be a lot of hard work, but i’m glad i’m on this journey with a great group of people, and now even more. it’s great to be here, and i hope someone, somewhere will not only not mind that i do not use capitalization, but may even be able to connect with my weight loss story.
more to come, but until then,
…peace, love, and crunchberries..

Dude…blogging for nine years is kind of like driving the first Model T that came off the assembly line. I didn’t even know what a blog WAS until like 2004. Best of luck keeping the weight loss going. This is a good place to hang out and connect with some guys doing the same thing. Welcome aboard.

to disclose fully, back in the day it wasn’t called a “blog.” i don’t quite remember when that term became popular. i bounced around from site to site such as diaryland, livejournal, greatest journal, xanga, blogspot…
i’ve always been a journaler, so it was just a natural progression for me to do it online as soon as i realized the medium was there for it
