Issa Waters, fat acceptance blogger and alterna-mom, is getting tired of your responses to her anti-diet posts - so much so that she felt the need to post a list of reasons why she isn't approving your comments: If your comment talks about how you would have died if you hadn’t lost weight or talks about how you avoided certain diseases or conditions by losing weight, I’m probably not letting your comment through. And don't bother with your personal story of weight loss, because she's just not interested. I know you’re super-excited about your feat, so much so that you...

LLL's Tatiana is still doing her "weekly gratitude" posts. This week, as the east coast was preparing for a hurricane and families in some areas deal with power outages and loss of home and life, Twatiana thinks you should smile your worries away! This week wasn't free of it's fair share of disasters, big and small, but I chose to turn that frown upside down every time and in the end... it was the best week ever. Regardless. Thank you to our lovely breakfasts all this week. Sometimes it was something special (bacon, eggs and pancakes) and sometimes it was...

Today in slow news days, Nat The Fat Rat, part of the NYC Mormon Mommyblogger Club, has finally somewhat admitted she did not actually just pull all of last month's cross stitch brags from her skinny jeans covered behind as she previously implied. Originally responding to a comment asking "do you just free hand it? or follow some sort of a pattern?", Nat claimed simply that she "freehanded these, which is actually easier than you'd think when you're doing counted cross stitch". Recently a Ratter found strangely similar patterns for sale in an etsy shop, and links to the patterns were posted...

Kath Younger, reads everything about pregnancy, has been very vocal in telling the internet every single thing that can cause a problem with pregnancy, and making sure we know she is avoiding them. Which is probably why her post featuring her emptying 5 cans of spray paint onto various partical board objects got her readers all riled up. Comments asked her if, given her anal retentive concern for any and all things that could possibly be bad for Kerfetus, maybe spray painting was sort of dumb. When KERF dismissed such ideas, commenter Jenna summed up the reason for the comments...

Mary Rambin, sigh, is now designing branding banners for her clients the Fat Frankels: Joel and I completed the banner ads for the Frankels yesterday.  I’ve obviously designed plenty of other things before - websites, purses, logos, the list goes on - but these are my first banner ads. Composing a captivating banner is actually trickier than it sounds.  I think we did a good job making these.  Our goals were to create brand awareness, familiarity with the Frankels themselves and their achievements in building using a conservative but interesting aesthetic. These aren't the worst I've seen but they certainly...

Cecily Kellogg, graceful swan and accountability coach, will be unable to 'work' for who knows how long. What happened, you ask? Oh, just another brilliant decision leading to another convenient end-of-month work-halting health problem. I tried to roller skate. Bruised my tail bone and threw my back out badly. I mean...really what else is there to say here when the mental image is probably funnier than any joke I could write. The amazing thing is that she works from home on a laptop and somehow still constantly finds a way to get out of work. They said it couldn't be...

Brandi, no shame, took her beefnecked husband in this week to get neutered. Never one to hold back a link Big Brenda gleefully posted this bizarre post-op tableau.

Modcloth is well known for its wonderful product descriptions. It seems they're still producing creative copy; the product page for the No Bones About It tights features not only nearly visible genitalia, but comes with this almost sarcastic text: You don’t need X-ray goggles to appreciate the quirky style statement made by these skeleton tights - slip them on alongside bright clothes and accessories, and let your inner fashionista show! Yes ladies, slip into these tights, throw on some accessories, and let your cradle of life air out in style! Nothing like a little beaver fever to warm up the...
