Weight Loss Blogs
A weight loss blog is the diary of your personal diet journey
A blog or web log is a webpage where a user (the blogger) records information that is then displayed in reverse chronological order. Blogs usually pertain to a main website where other bloggers will have created their blog. This results in forming a social network or community.
In many cases a blog is used by one person as an online diary or journal to record personal experiences or provide a running commentary of an event. The content of the blog is created and controlled by the individual owner. Purposes of blogs may vary from personal diaries to political campaigns and business marketing tools.
At extrapounds.com, a blog is used as a personal diary to track your weight loss journey.
Bloggers enter commentary on their progress as little or as often as they like.
