This blog isn’t just about me losing weight - it is also a marketing experiment, as well as a blogging experiment, I used to blog about making money online, or blog promotions, but ironically never made money doing this, mostly because the ‘make money’ blogging niche is the most saturated niche. How many bloggers, can say they weigh 555 lbs, and lose 300 lbs while everyone watches.
I’m working right now on building an infrastructure.
Currently, I’ve got a page for xanga, myspace, facebook, etc.. However for some reason Blog Catalog, doesn’t think this is a blog, yet why else would I have a domain name, and a wordpress install?
I’m hoping they change their mind because I always liked that site.
Mybloglog, on the other hand had no issues. Neither did Technorati.
I’ll be adding even more - My goal is to get networked up the wazoo — and one great way to help me out - is to tell all your friends to bookmark my pages, and tell everyone they know, and maybe a few people will have the means to help me out. That’s all I ask, or want.
Lets see how far this project can spread.
My goal after this is to pick 5-10 people who weigh have a BMI of 50 or greater, and help change their lives as well.

I love the idea of your blog. I’ve seen several blogs with the idea of getting support from other readers for either an idea (million readers in a year, giving some guy a dollar) or something physical (losing weight, etc). I may start a blog about losing weight since I am over 100lbs overweight.
Go for it - its not really the money that creates the motivation - for me it’s the people supporting me and showing their support - a dollar value just helps substantiate it.
