Last week’s spotlight was Trish B, so she had the opportunity to pass the honor on this week! From Trish: I just want to say how humbled, surprised and just overwhelmed I was when I read all the sweet things Mel said about me last week. Finding you guys when I did has been a [...]
Hey all! Happy Halloween Eve! I just got back from Trunk or Treat and may or may not have overdosed on Reese’s Cups when I looked up and thought “OH CRAP! I forgot to pick a winner for the Fitbloggin’!” I licked the chocolate off my fingers, realized the irony of me licking chocolate off [...]
I am squeeeeing with excitement right now! We have narrowed down our tribemates in the running for the title of the Ultimate Shrinkvivor down to just 7. We have asked them some down and dirty questions. Now they have answered. Wow. Just wow. Make sure you watch/read each one, because every single woman is just [...]
I like to run. Well, it’s more like wogging (walk+jogging) but whatevs. I get the job (ie mileage) done. Prior to October 2009, I was vehemently OPPOSED to running. I mean, it hurt, I sweated a lot, my breathing sucked, and did I mention that it hurt? Why would I want to willingly and knowingly [...]
Can you believe it’s time to announce the Top 7 already? Where has the time gone? I am so excited for all seven of these people. They have worked so hard to get here and I couldn’t be more proud! A little jealous, too, because I really, really wanted that bike! A few notes: The [...]

Hello Shrinkvivors! You can just pretend that this is a super-special vlog and that we didn’t forget to put it up yesterday. Okay? Thanks!! This week there will be no immunity, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t get out there and get moving! For our Fitness Challenge this week, we’re going to challenge you to [...]
That smiley pumpkin guy right there is mocking me. Calling out to me: “Have all my candy corn, lady, you know you want to!” And I do. And I have. (Darn it.) But I’m an adult. (Right?) I must exert some sort of self-control or at least exhibit some sort of example for my family and [...]
If you’ve been toying with the thought of running, now is the time! It’s time to lace up those shoes and hit the road. Literally. So read these articles and get ready to start running with the Sisterhood! Couch to 5K, aka C25K- Read this great interview with Megan, one of our Sisters, who conquered the [...]
I’m sure that, by now, many of you have read a certain article published on a certain famous magazine’s site. The article discussed the topic of being uncomfortable by seeing overweight people make out on TV. Unfortunately, the article went from bad to worse to worse in less than 500 words. If you are like [...]
Holy wow Shrinkvivors! Can you believe we’re almost to end of our Shrinkvivor Challenge? There are 27 members of Tribe Outlast and 54 people on Exile Island.

I know you are all just sitting there thinking to yourselves, “Selves, I would really love something fun to do tonight.” (Didn’t know I could read minds, did you? It’s a special gift.) Well have no fear! I am here to solve your dilemma because tonight is Tworkout™ night on Twitter! Just get yourselves on [...]
It’s Tuesday! Time to read those beloved race reports! Link up below. Be inspired.
I have been trying really, REALLY hard to make good choices lately. I’m really trying to make the connection between what I put in my mouth and how I feel during the day or during workouts. But, come on. Everyone needs to indulge once in a while. Or five times in a while. Whatever. Dairy [...]
When I saw this question come through I have to admit I was more than excited to take a crack at it. It’s something I’ve wondered myself for a long time. I mean, it’s not very often that you go to peopleofwalmart.com and see an overweight Mom riding an electric shopping cart with her healthy, [...]
