One of the best things about being a contributing editor for BlogHer, is
being able to showcase other women bloggers.  So today, I thought we
could take a look at some blogs about nutrition, weight loss, and
fitness.

In no particular order, here are eighteen health and fitness blogs
that I think you might like.  I hope you enjoy checking them out as
much as I did.

All You Can Do Is Tri...

I am a 40-something mother of 4 who has taken up a
challenge from my marathon-running sister. Do a triathlon with her and she will attend a scrapbooking weekend with me. Now I am on the road to train- run, bike, and swim my way back to a not-embarrassed-in-a-bathing-suit weight, and enjoying every minute of it.

A Merry Life: A Happy Girl's Healthy Living and Weight Loss Blog...

This site is a personal weight loss blog that focuses on
weight loss, nutrition, fitness, and other health related topics,
usually with a positive spin (I try). I started this site, and blogging
about weight in general, as added motivation to lose weight and live
healthier. I blog to stay accountable to my main goal: living a
healthier, happier, and more active life at whatever weight I happen to
be. It is my attempt to live better through the integration of healthy
habits into my lifestyle. I chose the name A Merry Life because that is
what I want to live and that is what exercise and healthy eating
provides me.

How To Lose Weight...

I was AMAZED when someone on "Yahoo Answers" wanted to
lose 85 pounds in 25 days, and an 11 year old girl wanted to "lose
weight quickly" before going back to school. Which made me decide to
start a weight loss blog that gives real info, even if people would
rather not hear it!

The Body Beautiful by Allegra...

As a woman and Fitness Professional who has a strong
passion for healthy living, I am even more passionate about connecting
the Mind, Body, and Spirit and creating strong linkages between the
three. I have found a way to connect all three entities into a program
called, “The Body Beautiful by Allegra”. Focusing on creating positive,
realistic, and healthy body images, by creating strong linkages between
the mind, body and spirit to help create a “whole” person, the program
encourages self-love and increases self-esteem.

One Fit Chick...

I'm going to blog about it to share my knowledge, learn
a few new things, and hopefully some people will read it. Posts on
fitness, health, nutrition, and life in general will also be thrown in
here...most likely with a sarcastic flare.

Fitness Fixation...

So much of the fitness and health writing out there is
so dry you practically have to hydrate after you read it. I think it’s
time we injected some humor into the genre.

Fit Bottomed Girls...

The Fit Bottomed Girls don't take anything too
seriously—including fitness. Here, two regular girls share their
trials, tribulations and adventures in staying fit to help you know
what's good and what's whack when it comes to working out.

Cranky Fitness...

Would you like upbeat inspirational advice about how
easy and fun it is to eat healthy food, lose weight, and stay in shape?
Then you will probably not like it here! One of the founding principles
of Cranky Fitness is: Healthy Living is a Pain in the Ass.

Lost In Transition...

I started a wellness plan, the goals of which were to be
more active, exercise, eat healthier, and drink more water. I lost 20
pounds following this plan, but failed to make it a lifestyle change,
which was the ultimate goal. Now that I have graduated college, I feel
it is time to really push myself in the quest to lose weight, keep it
off, and get healthy. I want to make positive changes in my life that
will become habit. I want to be a healthier person. This blog will
chronicle my journey.

Raise Healthy Eaters...

I created Raise Healthy Eaters to give moms like you
peace of mind when it comes to feeding your family. You no longer need
to search google and piece together information about what your kids
need to grow up healthy. Instead, come here first to get your needs met
– and ask your most burning nutrition questions.

Thanks for posting this.  There are a number of these blogs that I used to read and they have somehow fallen off my radar.  It will be fun to catch back up and discover some new ones as well!  You're welcome to check out my new blog too.

And thanks for including my cranky little blog in with such awesome choices.

I have to agree with Deb that the Great Fitness Experiment, MizFit, and Weight for Deb are great picks too. And I started to list a few more and realized that this comment would go on for pages and I'd probably still leave some favorites out!

Catherine,

This is a great list!  While I follow most of these, you found me a couple new ones. 

So in fairness you should not check out:

The Great Fitness Experiment. ( http://thegreatfitnessexperiment.blogspot.com/ )  Charlotte is pregnant at the moment, and blogging that.  But normally she takes on one thing-a style of workout or a piece of equipment, using it for one month and becomes her own "lab rat."  She's a great writer and well worth following.

MizFit ( http://mizfitonline.com/ ).  Carla blogs about health and fitness and exercise but emphasizes -so importantly- that we must love and care about ourselves.  She is a huge asset to the fitness blogging world.

And finally... me! I usually blog about exercise and eating/health in that regard.  This year has been a lot about how health problems have impacted my exercise.  And since I've become a NASM certified personal trainer, I'm aiming to emphasize good form, healthy living and injury prevention through exercise.  (link in sig)
