I already love you! (and have been a fan for yrs) When I signed up for Fitbloggin six months ago, I swore to myself I’d be in the “best shape of my life!” Well…err….I’m not really at that point right now. I’m far from the worst shape, but life has intervened and I’m hardly at peak form right now. It’s OK. It’s NOT A FITNESS CONTEST. It’s going to be a rocking wonderful community. I can’t wait.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts on this topic, Jennette. I, too, will be heavier at FitBloggin this year than last…and I was self-conscious and uncomfortable last year already. I don’t have everything figured out (not sure if I have ANY thing figured out), but I keep trying to learn and change my way of thinking, and I think that has to be the goal for me because “all or nothing” thinking just makes me crazy. And makes me regain hard-lost weight.

Long story short: I look forward to seeing you in Baltimore next week.

Not to cast a less-than-rah-rah-rah pall on these comments, but the Fitbloggin community might want to have a special session about fitbloggers who regain. It is, after all, a huge (no pun inteneded) part of many, if not most, dieter’s experience. As someone who has lost 90 pounds, and kept it off for almost seven years, I can say from experience that each of us has has to chose that “this is an okay place” wieght that we can actually maintain and live with, and let ourselves get off the dieting rollercoaster. If it’s 50 pounds more than your “ideal,” so be it.

You have a great attitude! Weight loss and body acceptance/love are both journeys with highs and lows and in betweens. Who cares if you weigh a little more than you did at the last conference? You are who you are and have inspired many others. That’s what counts! =)

I wanted to say something, but it looks like Lisa pretty much has it all covered, “aren’t you happier and healthier mostly because you changed your views & habits regarding physical activity?”

Jennette, repeat offender here also, a couple of years ago I lost 50+lbs and have put it all back on, but as of March 2, I am in the losing mode again…I cannot wait until fitBloggin and thank you Roni for this great conference and the ticket…Would love to meet you…

Ditto on the weight. It’s my first time at Fitbloggin’ and I’m at I’m close to my highest weight ever. Yeh, thought about and blogged about losing wt. weeks ago, didn’t happen.
By the way, I heard your podcast with Miz and Shauna. I ordered both your book (half assed) and Shauna’s today from Border’s.
Can’t wait to meet you…no matter what you weigh :)
