I'm here to support you all the way, but please, keep the detox details to yourself. LOL

Here's an idea to monetize your weight loss– get a bunch of folks to do it with you and have a weekly group support meeting (private for members only) using your Rondee line and also do a weekly Tweet support party.

Just a thought — but no matter what you do… good luck!

I began this morning right after I read your post ... I think I am going to record using posterous ... It's simple, easy.. I used it for Ricks Alaska trip and loved it. I have to go weigh myself .. God the dreaded scale ... I have been avoiding it for so long! I look forward to "weighing in" with you and sharing the details of my Road Trip to becoming more fit.. Thanks again for the inspiration! Thank you Darren for your honesty and generosity!

Great to finally “meet” you – OMG @RickGriffin is awesome and a very cool online and offline friend – WOW good people. OK back to weight loss – my story started when a friend, Julie (beautiful woman who discovered her smaller self) told me of some incredible tales and techniques, describing “logging every meal” as the worst thing she ever tried. That *moment* I decided it would be fun to tweet every meal – complete with photos.

By sharing *everything*, this meant the late night pringles or endless snickers while working on a project, etc. Some Twitter friends (well, not Rick – he amuses me with video talking tomatoes – scared me from veggies – kidding) would actually comment, criticize, or complement – I even would get recipes, etc.

Before foursquare even was heard of, I was broadcasting most every meal on Brightkite http://brightkite.com/people/williger and sharing particulars of everything eaten on FoodFeed.US (a Twitter based food logging tool – yes it existed, helped me tremendously – then disappeared).

The awareness to me of logging everything for a full year was a gift in itself – I saw trends and behaviors, but more importantly I was able to connect with others. The weight almost lost itself, the friends gained was incredible! It's almost unheard of for me to join anyone for a meal without camera phones tweeting or facebooking the particulars.

Let me know how you start leveraging food logging – for fun or for weight loss / management – I think when it's combined and the accountable honesty of community awareness kicks in, it's often a good thing!

Foodie photographers – UNITE!

I am fascinated that you were able to lose 50lbs by tracking and Tweeting every meal. To say I am inspired is an understatement. It's just the kick in the rump I needed!
