This week's Backtalk covers a subject almost all of us have blogged about more than a few times:  Body image.

The fact is that once we reach a certain age (particularly if we've carried a baby), maintaining the bodies we had as teenagers becomes far more difficult. Some of us are fortunate enough to love our bodies just the way they are. Others wish we looked a little more toned and trim. Regardless of how you feel, it's quite easy to find blog posts that echo your own personal body issues.

On this episode, the Backtalk moms discuss websites that celebrate women's post baby bodies as well as blog posts in which women come to terms with their shape, and even embrace their physical appearance. 

We also talk about another huge aspect of body blogging- using one's blog as a weight loss motivator. Thousands and thousands of women have used their blogging community to eat less and get fit, whether they're publicly listing what they eat each day or joining with women all over the world to lose weight on the same fitness plan or diet. We'll cover a few examples on the show.

Finally, we'll watch a couple of your awesome videos on body image.
