I started this blog to document my own weight loss journey, but along the way, I caught the eye of a few other writers. Read on below to see the story of my weight loss from the perspective of others!

In My Own Words
My background is in journalism, and I’m lucky that this blog helped me open doors I might not have opened otherwise. In fact, these days, a good part of my “day job” (of working for myself) includes freelance writing.

Hi
I really like your website. I use it as one of the ways I help my clients to keep on going. I am a hypnotist and I have helped hundreds of men and women lose the weight and to stay healthy - to even like exercising! I was wondering if I could send you a few mp3's to see if you like them and if they help you stay motivated.
Again, thanks for your great posts - and I am thanking you in advanced for taking the time to give me a shout out.
Your favorite Hypnotist,
Kathy
Hey Theodora,
Been watching your blog for a bit (indirectly more. My wife is training for the Chicago Marathon, so you two have some similar interests. )
I'm posting to see if you would check out a crowdfunding campaign I just launched. (ties in to your Social Media side too, also part of my wife's passion.) We've built a smart water bottle that connects to your phone, to help with the important role staying hydrated plays for both health and fitness, and are trying to raise money for it.
If you get a sec, check it out, and let me know what you think!

I would like to buy a solo ad from you and would like to know:
1. How many active subscribers do you have on your list?
2. What is your average email open rate? and
3. How much is your solo ad?
Thank You,
Billy Fradys
