Why are we here?
When Rick first told me of his vision for FatBloggers, I was eager to jump on board. It was about a year ago and I had been hit with the motivation to get serious about my own body transformation. I searched and searched the internets for guys like me, guys that were in various stages of their own transformation. Since I was going to a Weight Watchers meeting where I was the only guy, I needed brotherly encouragement and accountability. In my Googling, I found pages and pages of diet blogs written by ladies and precious few written by guys.
This week I made a hard decision, but a decision that I stand by as site administrator. FatBloggers needs to be distinct and have a solid mission. Otherwise we are just another hit amongst the myriads of diet blogs.
Guys, I want to encourage you to recruit bloggers to be contributors here. There are a few that have drifted in and out of our midst over the last year, and others that are valued members of the team. If you have someone in mind; let me know about them OR encourage them to contact me.
When you are selling them on coming on board, please have them look at the About page. I have updated it to clarify just what we are doing here and why.

I think it was a good move John - there aren’t enough guy fatbloggers and I think focusing on that message here makes sense. I’m in a bit of a rut right now being on a plateau for some time, but I’ll contribute again once I get my head on straight. Damn, this losing weight stuff is hard!
