AlmostFit

• Creator: "Metroknow"
• Description: "In terms of fitness, Almost Fit describes how I have felt about myself for most of my life. Not quite fit. Just about there. Working on it. Starting over. Gonna’ keep the weight off. This time for sure. Oh well, I guess I’ll give it another try. I can do it, for the millionth time, again…I hate this, but I’m so close this time… You get the idea. Always seeking and failing to find that magic cure that lets me be the person I envision in my head: Calm, confident, and thin. And as it turns out, I’m not the only one."

Get Fit Slowly!

• Author: Mac and J.D. Roth
• Description: "One of the many reasons I decided to create this blog with my partner, J.D., is that I’m very concerned with what people think of me. My own fear of not being liked or respected because of the way I used to look is a very motivational tool for me. I hated like the way I looked and the life I was living. There was no way I would let myself fail if I had people watching me."

John Is Fit

• Author: John
• Description: "My name John and as I start writing this blog at the beginning of August, 2007 I am not fit, I am fat. 41 years old, 6'0", 295 pounds fat. Far from fit. I have struggled with my weight for 20 years and have seen the writing on the wall. It's time to get serious. Being honest with myself is a key component to being successful and being honest with you, whoever you may be, helps me to be honest with myself."

Obesity Panacea

• Author: Peter Janiszewski who has a PhD in clinical exercise physiology and Travis Saunders who is a PhD student.
• Description: "Obesity Panacea began as a way to educate people about the science (or lack thereof) behind popular weight loss products, and has grown to include discussions of the latest news and research regarding obesity, nutrition and physical activity. Previous posts have ranged from discussions of Acai Berry and Human Chorionic Gonadotropin to the links between breast size and diabetes risk and simple ways to incorporate physical activity into daily life. There is a tremendous amount of misinformation and social baggage surrounding obesity, nutrition, and physical activity (most of which is only exacerbated by mainstream news media), and as researchers who study these very topics we feel that it is our responsibility to bring scientific evidence to the public discourse."
• Quality: The blog is a member of the PLoS Blogs group.
