Making money, Losing Weight, and Changing lives.

This site, isn’t just about my weight loss struggle. That’s a huge part of it - but it’s also my struggle to get out of debt, and be able to buy a house.

Along the same lines, I’m also trying to trade or barter my way into a house. I have a nice, cute pair of Fuzzy Baby Slippers, and I’m looking to trade them for something bigger and better, eventually, hopefully, I will be able to make enough trades, to be able to trade for a house, following the footsteps of that one dude who traded one red paper clip for a house.

The point of this site is to build up a support network of people watching to see if I can succeed at losing weight. So far I’ve lost about 20 lbs. Not a lot, but its a start. I’m always of course finding that it is a hard struggle. Currently I am working on submitting an audition tape / application to appear on the Biggest Loser with my wife, she weighs 220, and doesn’t have as much to lose, but I have more than enough, it would be nice to be able to lose it together.

We are also wanting to eventually go through in-vitro fertilization, if we still are unable to conceive after losing weight. That costs a lot of money, and we are also looking into adoption. Both are costly, but we really would like to start our family. The money we earn here both in advertising, donations, sponsorships, etc would be extremely appreciated. Please check out our advertising page for more information. I’m very flexible on advertising, and any ads you buy here will also be put up on a PR3 site @ www.blogcontestsite.com and my bartering site: http://twofuzzyslippers.blogspot.com.

It is definitely a great deal. The thing I personally am proud of with my site, is that is not just another ‘Making money’ blog, which are a dime a dozen. This is about a lot more, and I appreciate all my readers, and the comments I’ve gotten on the blog, as well as in facebook, myspace, xanga, and livespaces.

Losing weight is definitely hard. There’s no question about that. It’s twice as hard when you’re bed ridden for a week, because 90% of your left lung is full of fluid, and you are on oxygen.

Thankfully, I am over that. It also stinks being broke, and we had our internet shut off, I’m currently blogging from work and a library, it’s not the easiest thing to do.

Rent is our highest priority, then food, then heat, medical, and gas, and with me out of work for a few weeks it’s a bit of a struggle.

I am thankful for all your concerns, and worries this past few weeks, I’ve gotten a lot of emails from concerned readers for not writing.

I’m still looking for a healthclub to sponsor me, so that I can amp up my fitness program. I’d also love a fitness trainer, some home equipment etc.

I’m pretty excited though, the ad revenue from my blogs reached $9 for the month of February - that is an all time high, and I’m almost able to cash out from Google (after 2 years lol). Bout damn TIME!.

10 Reasons why you should Sponsor me!

Saturday, February 16th, 2008 | Featured with 1 Comment

This site is about me building a healthier me. It is about me raising enough money to be able to buy a house, get out of debt, and go through infertility treatment(If losing weight isn’t enough)…

According to doctors if I drop 200 lbs, then we have a 40% chance of having a baby el-naturale. That’s a 60% chance overall as we’re now at a 20%. It’s not perfect, but it’s a lot better, and it’s a good place to start infertility treatments at. Which is why I need to get there first. My wife, struggles everday with this. Ever since she was young our faith has pounded into her head how her ultimate goal and reason for being is to be a mother. Now that she can’t she’s devastated.

With both of us working we currently earn roughly $18/hour or $720/weekly or $2880 gross paycheck. Of which 1000 is taken out for deductions - taxes, and insurance. Leaving us with about $2080 a month.

We generally pay $65 a week for gas(car), which adds upto: $260, or leaves us with $1820.

We also have rent - which is $600 - leaving us 1220. Add to that our car payment - $300 and we’re at $920.

Now that $920 must be split up between all of our other bills: electric, gas(natural), phone, internet, Tv, medical expenses, new clothing, school loans, back bills, our mountain of debt, groceries, etc….

Now this is when things are going good - there have been a lot of times when for one reason or another one of us or both have been laid off work for a month or two even, and it takes forever to get caught back up.

On top of that we’ve gone through the process of ‘Fostering to Adopt’, just to find out after taking the classes and doing all the paperwork, etc… that we don’t even make enough right now, to do the program - talk about adding insult to injury. We can’t have our own kids, we can’t foster someone else’s and possibly adopt. We can’t go back to school because we can’t afford to. We’re pretty much stuck where we are.

What I want to do…. I want to go back to school, and become a Teacher. Namely secondary ed. I’d actually like to be a Latin Teacher if possible. Someday I’d like to do something bigger with teaching and start a Charter school… for poor families. I’d also like to run for public office someday down the road, but I figure I need control of my own life, health, and family before I can start down that path.

Now for the 10 Reasons why you should Sponsor me!

I’m cute, cuddly, and friendly and it will make you feel all warm and fuzzy inside knowing you made my day brighter(I know, sounds a little gay but might appeal to some reading this, especially if I felt out this sentence here..oh well).
ATTN: John Chow wannabes - Ahem…He is sponsoring me, so I think you should as well.
Exposure. John Chow was just the beginning I’ve got a radio station with 200,000 listeners working with me, and I might be going on a couple of different tv shows, — but that’s not yet solid. The point - this site is about to explode, even more than it already has, which means the faster you sponsor me, the more traffic you will get.
1 year + Free Advertising! Free until I am a success and can collect my money - it could take 2 years! Sponsors will receive FREE advertising rotated on this site for as long as it is up and running - You can submit a 125 X 125 banner, a text ad for inclusion on-site, and in our feed footer, Plus you’ll get a link in my ‘Sponsors’ section of my blogroll. Also there’s a good chance I’ll write a blog post about your sponsorship.
It might be tax deductible, I’m no accountant - but hey it might be, plus you’ll be helping not only me but the American Diabetes Foundation.
You will be able to feel all warm and fuzzy knowing you helped us start our family.
The Lord will certainly Bless you and Keep you. or at the very least you won’t be Smitten by God…consider it Fire - insurance. hehe…
Everybody else is doing it, or will be - instead of being pressured by your peers, why not be the first in on this and be their peer pressure, it’s always nice to be the first eh?
It’s the fad of today, and it would be a shame to not jump at the latest fad. Where would entrecard be without bloggers who jump at the latest fad…
Because I am right now…I know you can’t see me.. I will put up video footage eventually, but I am now on my knees begging … Perty Perty Perty please sponsor me? How about if I put a cherry on top - would that sweetend the deal? lol.

I’m sure I could go on and give you 20… but you might get highly annoyed and I think this is the best reason of all to Sponsor me - Because if you do - I’ll shut up about it! :smile: :???: :cool: :evil: :grin: :razz: :mrgreen:
