Thanks for the opportunity to plug our blogs! I think my favorite from the above list is Iowa Girl Eats, mostly because she makes good quality recipes that aren’t intimidating and have the bonus health factor.
My blog ( everylittelthingblog.com ) is about all natural and organic eating, and supporting a hyper-local lifestyle. I work to get most of my food from local sources (farms, markets, co-ops, etc), and support my community (St. Louis!). I’m an active member of Slow Food St. Louis and do whatever I can to support area events, people, restaurants, etc. The majority of my posts are recipes using only all natural foods, and my goal is to show people that buying groceries from their farmer’s market and turning into a quality meal doesn’t have to be intimidating!
Thanks again!
First CONGRATS on the Fitteratis that’s awesome!
I write at http://www.Mrs-Adventure.com where I share recipes, travel tales and of course our misadventures. I’m pregnant at the moment so the hormones have been flying all of which is reflected honestly and tearfully.
CONGRATS! Caitlin, that’s great.
I am nowhere NEAR a fitness blog (though I did recently complete my first half-marathon and I’ve been vegetarian for 7.5 years).
I blog about green living and minimalism. Less stuff, more life! Oh, and I have my own design business and a son who’s nearly two, so that comes up…all the time.
My blog: Our Little Apartment
Congrats!! There are so many great blogs that won, plus a few I had never heard of. It always amazes me how many great blogs there are out there.
My blog is http://www.goingongoals.com. I blog about food, fitness and my daily adventures. Lately my blog has been very wedding heavy as I recently got married.
So nice to encourage all these shameless plugs! I’m Alayna Tucker and I write Thyme Bombe. ( http://thymebombe.com/ ) It was originally a healthy living blog, but lately it’s been a lot more lifecasting. I cook mostly asian food at home, and I’m about a month out from completing my first cookbook! It’s about how to use common Japanese ingredients in more familiar ways. And this week is a bit of bonus content with a recap of the wedding cake I just made for my brother-in-law. I hope you check it out!
My blog is called A Complete Waste of Makeup(acompletewasteofmakeup.com) I blog about day to day life as a single, working 20-something in Dallas. I also blog about my struggle with weight loss, my love of wine and reality TV, and of course makeup.
Congrats!
First of all, congrats!! That’s so wonderful that you won and are being featured like that. I just recently found your blog through another healthy living blog… right before you had your baby!
My blog (www.nosugarsweetlife.com) was started when I finally realized life is too short to live perpetually unhappy. I now life the happy healthy life, no sugar added. I lost over 50lbs without counting (calories or points), just cutting added sugar from my diet, eating smaller portions, and adding veggie juices. I offer many great recipes (and photos) along with encouragement for all my readers to live their best life – healthy and happy too!
I’m meari, and I write over at “The Adventures of the Nerdy Secretary” (http://daneenekh.blogspot.com/)
I started the blog soon after I left my career, and husband. It chronicles my life, my job, working at a college and my weight loss. I’ve got 40 pounds to go!
And thanks SO much for this! I think I’ve added 20 blogs to my reader!
And since I forgot to say it before: Congrats!
I follow some of those blogs but not all of them, and since I live abroad at the moment I don’t get my Fitness subscription anymore! Thanks!
I blog over at http://www.glocalgirl.com about my journey as a California girl first living in Barcelona and now in Amsterdam. I write about trying to stay fit (despite missing English-speaking yoga classes), trying to find healthy foods, and all the cultural differences in-between.
Caitlin, I’m sure being married to a European you can relate to some of these funny differences!
Congrats!
My blog is called Athlete at Heart because I LOVE training and racing with all my heart but I’m far from fast and won’t be winning any awards. I have plenty of weight to lose (I’m working on it!) but I don’t let that prevent me from trying all kinds of new athletic endeavors like half marathons and olympic distance triathlons. Check it out
Congrats and thanks for the list of some new blogs to check out!
I blog at http://www.therunningdoc.com about my daily adventures with running, swimming, and weight training as well as my boyfriend and I’s attempt to eat gluten-free since he discovered he has Celiac Disease.
My blog is called “Call Me Shannon” and can be found at:
http://shannonwhitney.wordpress.com/
I write about all kinds of different things, reading, running, health, Beyonce, silly stories and any other topic that’s on my mind. I try to keep it light with a fun tone and plenty of pop culture references. When I started my dad was one of few regular readers, but since my readership has grown.
It’s great to have an online community and a place to share my writing. Take a read and let me know what you think!
Congrats, Caitlyn!
I just started blogging a few weeks ago . . . and I’m loving it! Please stop by and check it out: http://eatmovebalance.com
I’m currently studying to become a certified health coach, and the blog is a place for me to put all my thoughts and recipes regarding healthy living.
I blog over at nutcaseinpoint.com
I started my blog a few months ago when I moved from Boston to Calgary (in Canada….crazy!) to keep in touch with family and friends. I’m a certified personal trainer and fitness instructor and I post tons of workouts (since I can’t yet work in Canada). I also write about my relationship with food, tequila and my dog. And my man. Since I did move here for him!
Congrats on your award! You earned it.
I blog at Girl Meets Pink (http://girlmeetspink.wordpress.com) and even though its undergoing a revamp, I write about striving for balance with healthy eating, fitness and self acceptance. I found inner peace with running and turned to that to help me digest my thoughts versus internalizing them!
Congrats on the award!! Your blog was one of the first that I started reading!
I started http://www.thebusybeewrites.com to share recipes, but I picked a blog name that could encompass whatever the blog evolved into. I live a pretty face-paced and busy life style. School. Work. Husband. Dogs. House. Etc. Etc. What I’ve been realizing over the past two years is that I struggle the most with finding balance. (Don’t we all?) Gaining weight, stressing out, not sleeping enough. So the blog has really morphed into an exploration of how to find balance and enjoy life rather than being swept up by it. I’d call it a living well blog. I share my struggles and successes, as well as inspiration from others.
Congrats on the magazine!
My blog is http://ifitjiggles.blogspot.com/
I blog about health and fitness, mostly running and eating healthy. More recently I have been blogging about pregnancy as my husband and I are expecting a little boy in September! Enjoy!
Congratulations on being featured! I love that magazine and all of those blogs. You are in good company!
My blog is http://www.pearlsnpeppers.blogspot.com. In the past year I graduated from college, got married, moved across the state of Texas, had to become gluten and lactose free, AND started my first full time job. I love, love, love to cook and have obviously had to change my methods to accomodate my new diet and new husband. I blog about cooking and all my shenanigans while being stranded in west Texas!
Well hello Caitlin and well done you. Very much enjoying your pre pregnancy posts (although you birth story did scare the beejezuz out of me it was very interesting!).
I blog over at Brides Up North – a daily dose of wedding inspiration, real weddings and more.
http://www.bridesupnorth.com
Julia xx
I’m a law student in Chicago (1 year left!) and I blog about my journey towards healthier eating, learning to be a runner (running the Chicago Marathon in October!). I’m also currently gluten and soy intolerant (and possibly other things…) so my recipes are all gluten and soy free!
Congrats on the award! I have been following your blog for over a year now and can see why you won

My blog (http://eat-spin-run-repeat.com offers healthy recipes, inspiration and motivation to make fitness and clean eating a part of your daily life, workout tunes, and glimpses into my own life, including what I get up to on the weekends and my travel adventures. I also have a regular Try Something New Tuesday feature, where I try as many new things as I can on Tuesdays and re-cap them all on Wednesdays. This Wednesday will be week number 112!!
Yay for your being included in the list!
I blog at Picky and Healthy (http://www.pickyandhealthy.com). I am a (mostly) reformed picky eater who blogs about what I eat, how I exercise (mainly kickboxing, lately), and my life in NYC. With some occasional travel and lots of randomness thrown in!

Congratulations, Caitlin! Thanks too for the opportunity to plug our blogs!
My blog is The Salted Kitchen (www.thesaltedkitchen.blogspot.com) and it’s unique because I went to school for nutrition and dietetics, but am now a food scientist. I give two very different perspectives of the food world and nutrition, and incorporate my passion for fitness and travel among it all.
I love your blog Caitlin. So glad you won a Fitterati. You and The Fitnessista are my daily must-reads
I’ll take you up on blog plug
I write at Whit Likes Fit http://whitlikesfit.com/ where you’ll hear about my life as a cowboy boot wearing, country music loving, life-enjoying wife and dog mom. Life is short, and we only get one. So enjoy it. Eat the cookie, have the glass of wine, but go to the gym and make smart choices. Being fit is one big balancing act, and I’m just trying to avoid falling off the balance beam.
I hadn’t heard of most of those! Looks like it’s time to add a few to my Google Reader! And congrats, Caitlin!
I write a blog about running, teaching, my crazy dog, my awkward encounters, and being an Army Wife. My husband just finished his first deployment and I’m eagerly anticipating his return home! http://Www.armyamy.wordpress.com. *
I feel really awkward plugging myself, but since you said please! My blog, Fitnessnycblog.com shows the best workouts in the city and balances great food with a healthy attitude and lots of enthusiasm for all things fitness!
Congrats Caitlin on the Fitteratis! Your blog is so inspirational, you deserve it!
My blog is http://linseyontherun.com/… simple name because I am often running or doing something running-related (husbands a college track coach and I train with his team, my alma mater). After this year’s HOT Boston Marathon, I’ve begun to explore new, and exciting ways to incorporate other forms of fitness in to my schedule, which has allowed me to grow my appreciation of running. I write about everything in my life, with a big emphasis on fitness, food, and fashion.
Thanks for letting us plug our blogs! I read HTP everyday and LOVE IT! Congrats on the award, it is definitly earned!
I write over at The Vegetable Life ( http://www.thevegetablelife.com ) where I chronicle my food-life as a vegetarian with many recipes, some personal stories thrown in, and my many adventures in extreme couponing! Basically, I love to cook, workout, and save money while doing it all!!!
Congratulations Caitlin on both the award and your beautiful baby boy!

I am now training for marathon #2, the Philadelphia marathon in November.
Congrats!

I write a cooking/ recipe blog over at http://whatscookinwithmary.blogspot.com/. My blog is filled with colorful pictures of the healthy, flavorful recipes. Many of them have step by step recipes (w. photos).
Congrats on the feature!
I started blogging when my son was born. I have a combination mommy blog, fitness blog, food, faith, and home.
I started blogging to document my return to running after I had my son, and also keep my sister (who lives overseas) up to date on what’s going on with my little guy.
i blog at the http://thepajamachef.com
my blog is all about delicious comfort food, cooked in comfort (pajamas, of course)… mostly healthy, but with some treats as well. i’m a librarian, so i’m methodological about recording what i make + exactly what we thought about it.
p.s. congrats!
THIS IS MY BIG CHANCE…
I just started my blog in the beginning of 2012. I blog about healthy eating, meal planning, and my own personal fitness journey.
My tag line is “Run like a dog.” Everytime I take my dog out on a run, he gets so excited. My goal through writing is to encourage more people to find a form of exercise that they actually enjoy. When you love your workout, all of the sudden it no longer seems like work.
Oh, I blew it…
Congrats on the award!!
I love finding new reading material, so the bloglove is awesome!
I started my blog (www.wearing-pearls.com) as a way to document my life and how I try to balance my love of fashion, photography, travel, cooking and fitness with my job in the corporate world while living in NYC.
thanks for the mention and congrats on your award!
Congrats, Caitlin! How awesome to be featured in a magazine!!
My sister and I recently started our blog (www.pasdedeuxblog.com) as a way to share recipes, book reviews, and more with each other and with the outside world. I’m excited to turn my hobby of cooking into a more fully-fleshed out creative endeavor by photographing and documenting what I make in the kitchen. The blog is also encouraging me to try new things (vegan and gluten-free recipes). Check us out, and let us know what you like about our blog!
I have a personal blog where I write about therapy, love, finding happiness, being a vegetarian, my pets, the struggles I went through when my boyfriend was arrested and then spent 6 months in jail and how we are rebuilding our relationship now that he is home. I basically blog about whatever is going on in my life. I blog about keepin it real. Come check me out!
Congrats on the award Caitlin! Thank you for the blog plug opportunity as well!
Congrats on the award! You are a huge inspiration to me – so glad you were recognized.
I blog at “Jamie Runs Around” – http://jamiebergstein.wordpress.com
I picked up running a year and a half ago, ran a half marathon, stopped running… and now I’m trying to get back on track with running and weight loss. I just ran the BAA 10k!
Love it!! Congratulations
I actually write for two blogs. One (www.iloveyoulikeamango.com) is fairly new and chronicles my adventures in motherhood – lots of photos, videos and musings. Started as a way to keep my family in the loop but has started evolving into something more.
The other is a blog I keep with my mom and sister (www.chickpeachatter.com) – we found ourselves emailing every morning about the recipes we tried for dinner last night, or the craziness of some new fad diet, or a new workout dvd, or whatever, so we decided to share these on the blogosphere instead. Been going for over a year now, and it’s so much fun
Looking forward to checking out all these great new (new-to-me) blogs that folks are mentioning here!!
First, congrats on being recognized for all the great work you’ve done here on your blog.
Thanks for giving us the opportunity to share, I’m always on the look-out for new blogs to read, so this is give me some homework
.
I have a blog, Bring Joy, where I share my life with four kids. I blog about food, fitness, & family. As a group fitness instructor of 6 years, I’ve had to juggle raising my young kids, supporting a husband in law school (he’s finally an attorney), & figuring out how to be a great mom. I’m vegan & more recently, gluten-free, so I share recipes, video workouts, & snippets of family life.
Congrats Caitlin!! What a year for you!!
My blog is macncheesenpeas.blogspot.com
I write about my life, my races, and my recipes. As a nutritionist, I like to take a healthy approach to eating, with a emphasis on taste!
I hope you get a chance to check it out, and thanks for the opportunity to plug!
Thanks for sharing those blogs and CONGRATULATIONS!!
My blog is http://findingaskinnierme.blogspot.com/. I am a girl struggling with a health condition and a lot of weight to lose. I am a full time wife, legal assistant and student struggling to fit in weight loss and healthy eating into a crazy schedule. I talk about LOTS of things and always throw in a little humor just for fun! A few are recipes, learning to run and the emotional effects of having a health condition/losing weight. I love new readers.. so come enjoy!!
Congrats Caitlin–that is super great! I must run and pick up that issue.
You are having an AWESOME year!! Congrats!
I blog at betteroffbarefoot.wordpress.com where I talk a lot about running
I just finished my first marathon yesterday after just a few false starts!
Thanks for the opportunity! I blog at What Jew Wanna Eat where I make modern Jewish inspired recipes like Pretzel Challah Rolls and Mexican Potato Latkes. They aren’t always healthy, but they are tasty!
Congratulations!
My blog http://pardeemom.wordpress.com/ is just about my life. I started it in January 2010 when I was struggling with regaining some weight I had previously lost on Weight Watchers. I write about my workouts, my food, my kids, my life, Weight Watchers and just anything I feel like sharing.
Oh, and Pardeemom has nothing to do with being a party animal! LOL I’m definately NOT one. It has to do with the town I live in.
Congratulations, that’s so cool!
My blog is mostly about hiking and backpacking (and how I’m building confidence through those endeavors after struggling through major depression).
Thanks for this opportunity, and congratulations on being featured!
I am a real woman engaged in the real struggle against obesity. I’m working to find a healthier, happier lifestyle through diet and exercises. I hope that my experiences can help to inspire, encourage or reassure others to make a healthy change in their life.
I am in my early 30s, married, and live in Kentucky. My state consistently has poor rankings in health and fitness surveys. I don’t want to be one of those statistics! I want to be a part of that change in our culture.
The blog is a space for me to share the ups and downs of my quest for a healthier life. For me, weight loss is a key component to that healthier life. I don’t pretend to know what is the right decision for others!
Caitlin – that’s wonderful, congratulations!
I recently started a new blog, part of my new determination to stop obsessing about food and diet (so I don’t write about that)! Early this summer, I decided I wanted to read all of Jane Austen’s novels and I realized I could do that – and watch the films, read some criticisms, etc. by the end of the summer. One season. Three months.
And thus we now have threemonthproject.blogspot.com. I have two projects right now – Summer of Austen and Project Ukulele. I don’t know where this blog will go, but I’m pretty excited about tackling a bunch of new things in 3-month chunks.
Let me second all the congratulations from everyone. I have really enjoyed your blog since I found it a couple of months ago – especially everything about your pregnancy and new baby. I’m pregnant and due July 8th – so it has been fun to follow someone’s journey who’s only a couple of weeks ahead of me.
I don’t have a blog – but my husband does. He blogs about hiking in Northern Arizona including the Grand Canyon, running, yoga, food and weight-loss. The blog is http://wanderingmonkeys.blogspot.com/
It has been a great tool for him to continue working towards his goals with healthy living and weight loss.
I write about everything from running socks, to injuries, to life, to my drama and craziness, to my fashion attempts, my marriage, my dogs, TARGET!, shopping, cooking, cookies, work, school, reading, etc.
Pretty much it’s an ongoing public diary of my life epiphanies.
My blog, Live and Love to Eat,(http://www.clairetherd.com) is unique because I’m a dietitan and love to publish 99% healthy recipes – not just desserts! I also recently started a weekly breakfast food link up to encourage eating breakfast as part of a healthy lifestyle. Congrats on your win!
My blog is called D. Sells Seashells. I blog about fitness, running, health, food, and a few random topics (skin care, fashion) here and there.
I started my blog because I lost 100lbs and through the process, learned that weight loss needs to be a customized process; not all weight-loss rules, tips and tricks will work for everyone, or even most people.
My weight loss has required a personal paradigm shift. I’ve abandoned Weight Watchers, I don’t eat breakfast every day, and some days I don’t get my recommended dose of vegetables.
I’ve learned some tips through my journey so far and come have up with my own “tools” for weight loss, and I’m using them to lose the last 20lbs.
Thanks so much for the mention, Caitlin! Congrats to you, too
Congratulations on your award! That’s so cool. I can’t wait to get my copy of Fitness in the mail.
Yay! I am so glad you gave a shout out to all the other awesome blogs! I can’t wait to read them!
My blog is http://www.supersana.com and it really is just my space to blog about my family, my life, my culture and the food and exercises that I love
Congrats Caitlin! That’s amazing (although it doesn’t surprise me).
Say plug, and I’ll come running. I’m a vegetarian who likes eating veggies, cheese fries, and frolicking around NYC where I live.
Come hang out with me at http://www.alexeatsgreen.com.
Thanks Caitlin!
PS. Henry is too cute. Congratulations to you and Kristien on your beautiful baby boy!
Long distance high five on the magazine mention!
I write Trailing Tatum http://trailingtatum.blogspot.com/ about running with my dog, Tatum, and our garden/other adventures. I’m currently training for the Portland Marathon in October.
Congrats on the award and I can’t wait to check out some of these blogs!
My blog is http://livinlifeinlouie.wordpress.com/ and I write about life. I have a new house, a seven year old, and I am training for my first marathon! All advice needed haha
I clicked on your blog b/c I thought maybe you were from St. Louis – and you are! Glad to find another STL blogger!
Congrats Caitlin!
My main blog is Weighing the Waste (http://weighingthewaste.blogspot.com/). I approach environmental issues with a combination of statistical/quantifiable analysis and practical solutions and tips!
I also am doing a 30 Before 30 list (http://3years30before30.blogspot.com/), and recently started a new blog for anything else in life that doesn’t fit the other two blogs (http://balancingmeanderings.blogspot.com/).
I don’t have my own blog, but I love to read several of the winning blogs – including HTP! I was psyched to see that list the other night when I was reading the magazine because I found a few new ones to read. Congratulations, Caitlin!
Thanks so much for the shout out, Caitlin! AND congrats on baby Henry – he is such a doll, and your birth story is so inspiring. Hope you are enjoying this time with him and The Doc!
Congrats!!!
I don’t blog….I’m just a blog stalker….err I mean blog reader =)
WOOHOO Congrats on the mention! Did you know you had won?
I have been blogging for several years when I decided to change my eating habits for good. I was an overweight child who dabbled in eating disorders as I grew older. When I gave birth to my son I wanted to show him healthy examples and not have him go through the same torture that I did.
It started out documenting my every day eats… then slowed down as life got busy and I was only posting recipes. All based on Clean Eating.
Now I am in another transition – I want to make it a resource for ALL Clean Living – recipes, restaurants, products, etc.
But for now, I am still posting vegan recipes, life happenings and the occasional rant.
Healthy Eating!
Woohoo! So many new blogs to check out!
My blog – http://www.alifewithouticecream.com is about healthy living, eating, and eating dairy free with IBS. It features recipes that are 100% dairy free as well as some vegan recipes.
I write at “My Food ‘N’ Fitness Diaries” (http://www.myfoodnfitnessdiaries.com) where I share recipes, workouts, and my own adventures that involve two of my biggest passions – food and fitness!
My site was voted one of Healthline’ s top 100 health blogs for 2011! As a registered dietitian, I use my site to combine my love for food with my love for helping others reach their health and fitness goals. I include my opinions on hot nutrition topics, recipes and, with the help of a certified strength and conditioning coach, even some fitness tips/exercises! Thanks for the opportunity to plug http://www.capefearnutrition.com!!!!!!!!
Congrats Caitlin! I’m familiar with several of the Fitterati winners, but not all — so looking forward to checking them out!
I recently started a tumblr called Dress Like Dessert. The primary focus is creating outfit ideas based on delicious desserts. Sounds silly, but this has always been a passion of mine. And silly is good, right?
I also include recipes and fun quotes from time to time. =) http://www.dresslikedessert.tumblr.com
I also have a blog called Swift as Shadows where I write about food/fitness/fashion/faith/etc, though it’s been neglected recently. http://www.swift-as-shadows.blogspot.
Congrats on the award!
My blog is called Poise in Parma (http://poiseinparma.com), which I started as a way to keep me accountable for my 100 pound plus weight loss. I focus on sharing my healthy balance here in my hometown of Cleveland, Ohio. I’m currently in yoga teacher training and am building my business as an event planner, so many posts feature those two topics as well. Time to time, I go all crazy-dog-lady & post too many pictures of my Golden Retriever, Grady.
Congrats, Caitlin! You seem fancier already
I blog about food (I’m hooked on my slow cooker), books, gratitude and life at http://furiouslywriting.blogspot.com/.
Congrats, you deserve it!
I blog over at This Bride’s Joyride [http://thisbridesjoyride.com]. My blog is about my adventures in wedding planning, trying to get fit, and the ups and downs of regular day-to-day life (with a new partner as part of it)!
Congrats Caitlin! That’s so exciting!
And thanks for the opportunity to plug away!
My blog is called My Pink Thumb (http://mypinkthumb.com) because I like to try and tackle anything and everything I can. Things I like to blog about include my life, food, cooking/recipes, running, working out in general, gardening, DIY stuff, my home.. I like to dabble in a little bit of everything! I recently started a Wordless Wednesday feature where I attempt to play around with my growing photography skills and it seems to really be taking off!
I blog at http://lessonsinfarming.wordpress.com about farming/ gardening/ canning/ cooking and now baby growing. I have lots of info about my DIY wedding on there as well. It’s basically the life of a pregnant, twenty-something, newlywed with a focus on farming. Totally average
Congrats! My blog (http://www.marcigilbert.com) is becoming more life blog than cooking stories like it used to be. Baby gets in the way! But I’m enjoying telling baby stories and talking about things like that for now.
Sweet feature in the magazine Caitlin!
I’m Nancy and I blog over at http://www.spiffykerms.com – what makes me unique? I don’t have a set topic for my blog, I guess. So perhaps it can fall under the category: Lifestyle blog! (CrossFit, climbing, running, recipes, tons of photos, adventure days!)
I’ve been blogging since 1999/2000 or so. Such a long time!! I’ve never given up or have taken a long break from it, love my little website.
I just started blogging after years of following so many great ones (including HTP) and many of my friends telling me that I had to get the word out about my recipes and restaurant dining experiences. My blog is at youngfoodies.com and chronicals my restaurant experiences and home cooked meals. The one thing all successful bloggers have said is write about something you love, and cooking and eating are my true passions. Hope you stop by!
Congrats Caitlin! How cool to be featured in Fitness magazine.
Thanks for letting us plug our blogs- I’ve added several to my reader.
My blog, Hazelnut and Cinnamon,(http://hazelnutandcinnamon.blogspot.com/) is pretty random. I document the happenings of my 11 month old son, post recipes and nutrition tips, frugal/simple living tips and discuss green living. It’s a work in process, but I enjoy it!
Congrats Caitlin! You so deserve the recognition. I think my blog is special because not only do I talk about health and fitness but because I try to inspire people in their 40′s. I hope that my husband and I show that you can work a full time job and be fabulously fit and happy later in life!
Congrats! That’s so cool.
My blog is called The Social Eater (http://thesocialeater.org). It’s about exploring the ins and outs of food that benefits (and is fair for) both producers and consumers.
Wow, congrats Caitlin! And thanks for the opportunity to share our blogs with your readers.
My blog is Momucation (www.momucation.com). I am a new, first-time mom myself and I have found that all of the things I used to do with ease (cooking, hair and make-up, even a trip to the store) are now much harder to do with a baby, so my blog focuses on how to do these things again, probably with much less time or using one arm, now that baby is here. I call all of these new learning experiences a “Momucation.”
i’m a newbie at blogging, but it has been a lot of fun for me so far. i’ve read blogs for about 4years now & enjoy them so much. i think the blogging community is incredible & it’s nice to find others with similar interests!
I started my blog “The Year of Living Healthfully” in January to keep myself accountable and motivated to keep doing more and more healthy things for myself. I lost more than 130 pounds and am still trying to get fit and healthy. My hope is that my story will encourage others who feel like they have have trouble making healthy choices. I post about not only physical health (the good and the difficult), but also about the emotional and mental aspects of getting healthy. I post some recipes too. Would love to have you all take a look!
Hey! Recently found your blog through some blog connections and am enjoying read it.
I write at http://www.ChasingHallie.com. Our blog is all about our daily adventures as a newly married, newly parents couple. We write about baby, being parents, running and fitness, and our other adventures both big and small!
Congrats!!! That’s wonderful, and you deserve it.
My blog: http://corrieanne.com/ is a fun read!! I blog about food, exercise (lots of burpees and running), besides quite a lot about marriage + date night ideas and cool stuff in the Denver area. I really enjoy writing it. And I think that makes people enjoy readiing. That and the pictures of my Boykin Spaniel, Boyd!
Awesome! Lots of great blogs on that list!!
I blog at http://www.dairyfreebetty.com of course it’s dairy free – which is my edge – I try to post things to make the dairy free lifestyle easier! I haven’t been blogging much lately, but I hope to get back to it soon!!
I’ve LOVED following all your baby stuff!! So fun!
Hi Caitlin! Congrats on your award! A lot of your readers, myself included, can only aspire to have half as much of your success! I just started blogging in response to numerous surprises in my life. First that we were pregnant, then to find out they were identical twins and then to have our lives changed when we found out one of the twins has cerebral palsy at 10 months old. This blog is therapeutic for me and allows me to document the beginning of our lifelong journey and some of the struggles we’re faced with. Thanks!
Congrats! You’re awesome!
I blog about trying not to be too timid and squeamish at http://www.tootimidandsqueamish.com/
Thanks!
First off, congrats Caitlin! You totally deserved the award. I am a 29 year old healthcare executive, wife, mother, and a new blogger. I blog at my blog – Redefining Kimberly. The address is http://redefiningkim.blogspot.com. My blog is the story of my journey to make my 30th year the healthiest of my life while living in a rural town in South Georgia. I just launched a new series “Kooking with Kim” which will chronicle my attempts at becoming a better cook. I hope each of you will stop by and visit.
livepassionatelytonight.wordpress.com
Completely random and completely fun journey to contentment
After years as a reader, I finally jumped into the blog world myself a few weeks ago at http://novanesting.wordpress.com, writing about home renovations, food, fashion and anything else that strikes my fancy! I’m still a blogging newbie but it’s inspiring to see how far all these bloggers who started out like me have come!
hi! my name is lindsay and my blog is called pretty little paradise @ http://www.prettylittleparadise.com! my blog is about all the pieces of my life that go into making it my own little slice of paradise: i blog about training for my first marathon and 1/2 marathon, decorating my little casa, the cute, comfy clothes i wear each week as a young elementary school teacher, my adventures with my awesome boyfriend, our pups, and tons more! check it out
Fun! I read some of those already (other than HTP) but it’s neat to see the rest.
I recently started a fashion blog where I talk about the challenges of looking fashionable in the professional world. I’m also starting a new series called “You Pick Wednesday” where I’ll help readers with ideas they submit.
CONGRATS!! how exciting! My Blog, Gluten Free Happy Tummy is about my journey with Ulcerative Colitis. I’m currently in a flare, and am healing through diet and natural medicines. I’m a Gluten – Free Vegan, following the Body Ecology Diet to combat Candida. I share delicious recipes every day.
http://www.glutenfreehappytummy.com
Thanks for letting us plug!
Hi! I’ve been blogging for about a year at http://www.thisgirlthrives.wordpress.com. I write a lot about living a healthy lifestyle – from food to fitness to self-love. ThisGirlThrives is all about the importance of striving for more than just being “okay.” It’s about living life to the fullest and treating your body with respect. I’m also using it to raise over $3000 by October for Children’s Tumor Foundation, for which I’ll be running the Munich Marathon in Germany!
My husband and I coauthor a blog called White House Dinners (our last name is White). We both work full time and I’m in grad school so we don’t get to update it as often as we would like, but we love to cook, bake, and entertain so the blog serves as a forum to share our cooking adventures with friends and family. Check it out if you get a chance!
I garden, run, teach Pilates/dance/yoga, cook whole and delicious food, backpack, try to live with grace and gratitude, and blog about all of it at http://www.gracefulfitnessblog.com!
Thanks Caitlin, as always YOU ROCK!
Congratulations, Caitlin, and thanks for encouraging everyone to post their own links, as well. I always find such great blogs to read when you do this.
Mine – http://workofheart09.wordpress.com/ – is mostly about writing/reading/my journey to become a published author. It’s been nothing but a joy to work on for the past few years!
Congratulations! What a great accomplishment! Maybe one day my blog will be there with yours
Am I the only one who is a little disturbed that 2 of those blogs have “skinny” in the title? (Sorry if someone else already said this – at work and hurrying back to real work
)
Congratulations Caitlin! That is fantastic.
My blog is a mish mash of stuff. Everything from running to CrossFit (yes I am one of those!) to DIY projects to my adorable dog.
thebestthingislove.blogspot.com
So glad you won the Fitterati– I voted for you!
My blog, Blueberry Smiles (www.blueberrysmiles.com) is mostly about my adventures in healthy living, trying to stay healthy/balanced with a busy life (without giving up the fun stuff), supporting my boyfriend’s Ironman training, and fun foodie escapades in San Francisco.
I’m teacher turned full time graduate student in Laramie Wyoming who spends most of my time reading books, writing, racing mountain bikes, and running-all in the mountains of course. You can follow my training plans, recipes, and weekly adventures at http://www.mountainkait.com.
congrats on the fitterati!!!
I blog over at legallyheidi.com about running, my quest for a healthy and happy lifestyle (it’s all about balance!)
Awesome!!!! You go girl! Henry is going to be so proud of his mama.
I have just recently started blogging. My blog can be found at edurancediabetic.com and as the title suggests I blog about my experiences as a type 1 diabetic while training for not only endurance events but just exercising in general. I hope that by sharing my experiences with others that PWD’s(person with diabetes) can learn from one another. Thanks! and Congrats
sorry typo – the address is endurancediabetic.com thanks!
Wow! Good for you!!
I don’t really write a blog about anything…just me. I am a 31 year old sports nut. Completely NFL obsessed. Married to the love of my life with one adorable [insane] puppy. All equaling one crazy happy life.
Thanks for letting me plug.
I Just started my blog about a month ago! http://www.mealsmovesandmedicine.blogspot.com. It chronicles the crazy antics that go on in the emergency room that I work in, the transition from being a nurse to becoming a medical student, with my daily exercise and race training thrown in there!!
My blog is all about “allpointswhole” my sister who is an Internist posts medical info, (Medical mama) my workaholic other sister is a VP drowning in student loan debt that posts about those struggles. (Freeing Sisyphus) My younger sister (The Fourth Dimension) posts about teen fashion, pop culture. And I post about everything else:) running, foods, spiritual enlightenment etc
My blog (www.TheLifeMuse.com) is meant to provide life tidbits one day, one topic, and one bad joke at a time!
Happy blogging, ladies!!
I blog about vegan food, fitness, hiking, weight loss, and wellness over at http://www.milehighhealthy.com
I started my blog to share my store of becoming a plant-based wannabe athelete. I have lost 50lbs and kept them off for almost 2 years!
I’m always posting new vegan recipes, workouts, and my thoughts on wellness. Today I posted a no sugar added vegan chocolate chip cookie, yum! I also tend to post gratuitous pictures of my two cats, Rockie & Sampson.
Blogging is something that I really enjoy and I hope to inspire people to live a healthy life that energizes & uplifts them!
I blog about my life as an actor/dog-walker/leasing agent, my affinity for animals and (sometimes homeless) strangers, and the shenanigans I get up to with my crazy awesome best friend and roommate.
Congrat on the award! Now i have to remeber if i am susceibed to fittness or womens health. Lol. In any case i will go find the magazine.
My blog is The Mexigarian.
Http://www.mexigarian.com
I blog about food of all kinds (not just Mexican and Hungarian cuisines), fitness (currently training for my first 1/2 marathon) and general things about life in the Bay Area CA. I also post about my paintings from time to time. Animal portraits and day of the dead work.
Congrats Caitlin! That is awesome that you were featured in Fitness Magazine!
My blog is Sprinkle Massacre (http://www.sprinklemassacre.com). The name sounds crazy, but it focuses on balancing a healthy lifestyle that includes lots of sprinkles (mainly on peanut butter and cool whip – see “Why the name?” for the story). I am usually rambling about my day to day activities but always throw in recipes and workouts. It also follows my journey to become a personal trainer and certified health coach!
Congrats Caitlin! Very well deserved – so happy to have a great vegetarian HLB to read, you’re definitely one of my faves.
Woohoo Caitlin!!

My name is Alex and I’m a 23 year old recent college graduate and budding entrepreneur. I’d love to see some new faces over at my blog, Raw Recovery (http://myrawrecovery.com) where I talk about my journey to a balanced, healthy, happy life and my recovery from Anorexia, Depression, and Borderline Personality Disorder. You will find no number talk on my blog! I focus on the emotions underlying the issues rather than weight and sizes. I also talk about my rescue dog Angelina, my travels from living in Australia, Greece, and France, and just trying to find peace within myself. I’d love to meet you!!
Congrats Caitlin! And thanks for giving us an opportunity to plug our blogs. I’m always looking for new ones to read
I mostly write about running at http://joggingoncoffee.blogspot.ca/.
Wow, thanks so much for the mention! I had a huge jump in traffic today, coming from your blog
Props to you, Caitlyn. You totally deserve it!
My silly, humble blog is called Quest for Delicious (http://deliciousquest.wordpress.com/). Basically, it’s about my adventures in cooking, discovering great restaurants (especially in my home city of Las Vegas), and random life musings. Come August, my quest continues in Houston as I move there to pursue my master’s in nutrition and complete a dietetic internship to become a registered dietitian.
Hi Caitlin,
Congrats on your award! And thanks for the Plug Your Blog opportunity!
I write at http://www.lolaandzoe.blogspot.com. To keep it simple, my blog features:
Book Reviews

Tips on simplifying life

I just starting writing my blog…. It’s about raising my baby in New York City, gear reviews, restaurant reviews… The trials and tribulations of raising a baby and having a family
I blog about inspiring things- food, words (including poetry) and other discoveries that are worth smiling about!
Hey, congratulations on the editor’s pick!
I just made my first blog post at http://fittofittest.blogspot.ca/, hoping to share my crossfit experience with the world, any feedback and tips would go a long way!
i’m a 17-year-old california girl headed to college next year! i have a huge interest in fitness (i love to run and take bodypump classes) and food (major sweet tooth over here!) and i’ve been blogging over at http://www.juliannabananna.com for over a year now!
Congratulations, Caitlin!! What an honor
I started my blog this month, and I write about fitness, food, and my life as a recent college graduate. I’m training for a half-marathon and sprint triathlon this summer, and I’m hoping to tackle a marathon in the fall. Oh, and find a job
My blog is The Jogging Concierge (http://www.joggingconcierge.com). I talk about running and dining around Boston. And I’m also a hotel concierge!
That’s awesome that you’re in the magazine!
My blog, Courtney Em, is all about my crazy, random life with a bit of healthy living and style thrown in.
i’ve been blogging for a couple years now but i don’t have a huge following since i don’t really beat to the typical HLB drum.
i am a full time biologist in pittsburgh so my blogging is 3-4x a week max! however, i post on a range of topics from the arts to fashion & healthy living!
~wave~
We are a large multi-racial family currently adding 2 children from China with the possibility of more in the future. Our blog is a combo of adoption blessings and challenges and our crazy life!
Wow, congrats girl!! And you’re so sweet to allow for all this pluggin’. It’s been wonderful discovering so many new blogs.
http://youmeandaworldtosee.wordpress.com/
I’m a rising sophomore at Georgetown University. Fueled by music, sunshine, and dreams. Food Aficionado. Nutrition Enthusiast. Dedicated lover of puns.
“You, Me, and A World to See” (http://youmeandaworldtosee.wordpress.com/)is a blog celebrating my passion for silly musings, whimsical photos, and of course, delicious, healthy food.
It is a celebration of life. Of reflecting on the ways and means of each and every day. Of striking a balance, getting lost and finding myself. Of learning how to be one for many and tasting happiness along the way.
The blog, in its infancy, is a testament to the thousands of educators who have lost their job or simply cannot find another. Many of us have masters and doctoral degrees, like myself, but because of massive budget cuts, we are not being hired. It’s just my comical journey and support network for people like myself!!
I read almost all of those blogs! All great in their own way
My blog is my attempt at a running blog – but there are still quite a few nights out & too many drinks documented, as well!
Congrats on the magazine!!
Congrats to Caitlin! I’d love to share my blog:
Health and fitness professionals Hillary Helmling (Yoga Instructor), Jen Morris (Health Coach), and Randi Stone (Pilates & MELT Instructor) met in the Big Apple and bonded over the trials and tribulations of running boutique wellness businesses in the city that never sleeps…or eats well…or works out…or meditates.
Oh!Spired is a happy medium, bridging the gap between facts and personal interest stories. While readers will find plenty of tangible, hands on healthy stuff, Oh!Spired is irreverent and, at times, self-deprecating. It is NOT about being perfect because we are not health and fitness goddesses. Like so many women out there, we are figuring out what works as we go and ‘failing forward’ every step of the way. They say laughter is the best medicine and we intend to heavily self-medicate.
We try not to take life or ourselves too seriously. You can say we take it with a grain of salt…of a bar of chocolate.
Go, Caitlin, go! Wow, it would be so weird to see my face in a magazine…
My blog is about about my journey from boxed mac and cheese to actually eating somewhat healthy and homemade food. Along the way, I discovered that I really love cooking. Right now I’m doing a series of posts on how I’m using the produce from my CSA box in my weekly meals: http://janellekibbe.blogspot.com/
Of course, random bits (and pics) of my life in Chicago get thrown in too!
I love Fitness magazine and was so excited to see the list of the winning blogs. That is how I discovered your blog and I love it!!!! Thanks for sharing the links to the other blogs, can’t wait to check them out.
Yay! I picked up this magazine at the airport last week. I was so excited to see your blog win. And, it was also fun “to see a familiar face” during my travels. Thanks!
My blog is And Her Little Dog Too – http://www.andherlittledogtoo.com
I blog about my life in Philadelphia with my new husband, Charles & dog, Jackson – including my adventures in running, cooking & healthy living!
Great list of blogs! I see some old faves and some new ones there–thanks for sharing!
My blog is The Broccoli Hut (www.thebroccolihut.com). It started out as a way for me to expand my cooking skills as a young vegetarian, but since I started it four years ago it’s become a way for me to share what I’ve learned on my path to becoming a dietitian. I post recipes, health news, and general nutrition advice.
I’ve tried several times to start and life somehow got in my way. So I started again and am blogging about building my life, so it’s hard for it to get in the way now
. It’s just a start but you have to start somewhere right?
Avocado treehouse.com
Congrats! How awesome is that! I’ve been a behind the scenes reader for years… I have loved hearing all about your pregnancy, and most recently your new addition, Henry. Thanks so much for sharing and being so real.
I actually just started my blog yesterday and haven’t posted until today. What an awesome time to see you asking for blog plugs.
My blog, High Heels and Outdoor Thrills is where I document about my time being the girly girl that I am, even when I am doing a mostly man’s sport- hunting. I have just began my journey with bowhunting, which many women love, but I don’t know any women personally that do bowhunt. I believe in eating healthy, we’ve always eaten food my dad or husband has harvested or that we have grown, and I believe taking care of myself physically by working out is crucial to hunting down my food. So maybe it counts as a fitness/health blog too.
Thanks for all you share! Your blog has kept me so informed!!
I didn’t actually click through to most of those blogs, but I have to say that I really did not like a lot of those titles and the focus on “skinny”!! That is NOT healthy living.
Congrats on the award!
My blog is Greens and Coffee Beans (greensandcoffeebeans.wordpress.com) and it chronicles my life as a vegetarian, part-time hippie, fitness-obsessed, Pilates teaching, slightly awkward, college student (whew! A mouthful). I’m a bit of a goof ball and not a afraid to be myself so I hope it makes for an entertaining read!
I like the “Plug your blog” idea! I love meeting and connecting with other health-minded people (and really anyone in general!), and welcome the opportunity to meet new people.
Congrats cailtin!!! That is an amazing accomplishment and I am striving to make my blog as great as yours. I am a retired swimmer who is navigating her way through exercise outside of the pool. I am a registered dietitian ( well will be after Thursday
) who is a heart transplant and cardiac dietitian and loves to cook and help people improve their lives through food!
CONGRATS!!! You deserve it. After all, HTP is my personal favorite blog, so it makes sense to me!
Well, guess I’ll plug my blog! I blog over at Going Gulia (goinggulia.wordpress.com). I’ve read heathy living blogs for years, and finally decided to get more involved with my own. And while I’d like to have a healthy living focus to it, I’d be lying if I didn’t say that it’s more about just living. There was a time when I dealt with eating issues that kept me from really living my life, but now that I’m past that, I’m all about making the most of it. As a rising senior in college, I’m just one year away from that mystical “real world” (eesh), so I’m blogging about healthily rocking the heck out of life..plus whatever else I find blog-worthy
Congratulations Caitlin!
And thanks a bunch for the blog plug – so many new blogs to read from your post and all the comments, yay!
Congrats! I love your blog and have been reading for a while, but am just now really trying to get into my blog and connecting with others. I blog about my life – as a wife, teacher, and dog lover! I love the Lord and love to reflect on Him. I also post recipes and sewing creations occasionally. I am excited for the real passion I have for blogging to be able to come alive! (www.carrollcreations.com)
My blog is http://www.thecheesefriesstandalone.com. I write about life and love and working on getting healthier. And cooking. And shopping. And two small dogs.
Thanks for letting us shamelessly plug!
Hi! I’m Gillian from That’s G (http://www.thatsg.com/)
My blog is a mix of a bunch of random things: my life in LA, health/fitness/running/working out, my experiences in law school, and my favorite restaurants/bars…oh yeah, and I love to travel/am obsessed with Spain, so you’ll find lots of travel tips/guides as well
I love that you did this! I’m checking out new blogs (well, new to me) right now – thank you!
My blog is Caitlin Lives Well (http://www.caitlinliveswell.com) and I think what makes it unique is that I focus on taking responsibility for your health, every day, through every choice you make – even when those choices include frozen yogurt or beer!
Iv’e been blogging for years at http://www.seejessicarun.com, but just this week started my new blog – http://www.aweighwegoagain.blogspot.com, chronicling my desire to RElose the weight I REgained… this time in a new house with a new job and a new husband!
Congratulations! Thanks for posting the other winners!
I write Confessions of a Former Couch Potato. http://www.aformercouchpotato.com
My blog includes recipes, exercise adventures, tales of motherhood, and some confessions that just have to be spilled sometimes.
Congrats on being featured Caitlin! how cool is that?!
my name’s Angela and I blog at http://sleepandrepeat.com. I just started writing about three months ago so I am definitely still working on finding my voice – and what makes my blog unique! I write about my struggle to balance my passion for healthy living, eating, and exercising with my stressful job as a corporate drone in my first year out of college.
Whoa, congrats! Of course, you totally deserve it so I shouldn’t be surprised.
My name is Diana and I blog over at http://frontyardfoodie.com/ about motherhood, food, gardening and what not. Passionate about natural living and the frugal lifestyle. I love making my own foods, cleaners, shampoo from scratch and some might call me a little ‘granola’ since I’m into natural birth, organic food, and recycling everything down to clothing.
My blog is cool because I love to entertain and post a lot of dinner party recaps and ideas that others could use.
http://www.everydayfoodie.ca
I don’t have a blog, I just wanted to say Congrats! I saw you in the magazine today and did a double take!
Hi Caitlin’s readers!
I blog at Jodi, fat or not – http://fatornotblog.com
My blog is a unique space which is a mix of anti-diet and pro-fat acceptance, and where I’m still losing weight!
My goal is to lose at least 100 pounds, I’m down 76 so far.
I’m all about loving your body, being positive and being healthy.
So…congrats. And thank you for allowing the plugs because I currently have about 20 tabs open to read! Exciting!
I blog at http://yourdailygrace.com/! My name is Grace and my little blog is about, you guessed it, my daily life. Well not exactly, daily because I still have not figured out how to stop time and blog three times a day the way some of you rockstars do! Tell me your secrets please!
Anyway I am a very recent college grad taking a gap summer of sorts to travel around visiting my family and discover some new cities I might want to move to before attempting to figure out what to do with my life. I love food so I guarantee there will always be pictures of food. I’m a pescatarian trying to go mostly dairy and gluten free as well but the pancakes I had for dinner might suggest otherwise. I also run…very slowly.
Basically I am a 20 something sharing my adventures in loving life whether it be food, travel, running or family related!
Thanks again Caitlin:)
My food blog! Vegetarian/vegan
Congrats on being featured! That’s a huge achievement.
I’m a dietitian and my blog is called Off-Duty Dietitian. My blog is all about my adventures as a full time dietitian, part time carnie (I train in aerial acrobatics), and my food-related happenings along the way.
Congrats! That’s awesome
I blog at everydaydolce.com and it’s a sometimes serious, sometimes fun blog about a little bit of everything — life, love, and food, mostly, and thoughts on deeper things like growing up, being married, and learning from the past.
Henry is just wonderful, btw!
Congratulations!!! Can’t think of a more deserving winner and blog! I can’t wait to check out some of the other blogs in the article and those mentioned in the comments. Thanks for providing this opportunity.
I’ve been following your blog for years now Caitlin, & you are definitely very deserving of this award!
I’m an Aussie blogger & blog at ‘Confessions of a Jogaholic’ http://www.confessionsofajogaholic.blogspot.com.au
about everything from fitness, running (jogging..ha!), kettlebells, body image & eating disorders, motivatation, & basically anything that goes on in my day-to-day life!
Thanks for this comment thread- I love finding new blog reads!
Shameless plug for my blog – http://fedwell.blogspot.com
I write about food, the stories of the people it is eaten with and maybe a recipe or two. I find that most of my memorable experiences are shared over a meal or even a snack and my earlies memories also overlap with food! Stop by, say hello and share. Thanks – Sharon
Hi Hi! I’m Sara and I blog over at ‘my less serious life’. I blog about healthy living and fashion from the perspective of a scientist! I do fun experiments from learning how to eat slowly to testing out the best healthy cereals! Thanks so much for the plug!
Caitlyn,
That’s fantastic. Congratulations on your award!
And I’ve really been enjoying Baby Henry since his arrival!
Great collection of blogs! I write At Home With Ann (athome-ann.blogspot.com), which chronicles my kitchen adventures as well as randomness around the house. My cooking style is all about balance and variety, giving equal credit to kale and cheesecake!
congrats! Some of my favorite bloggers made the list! I was happy to be on the first page in the running category during voting. Huge for me!
http://runningwithsass.com
Caitlin, I have been following your blog for over a year now and you have even been the inspiration for some of the YOGURT MESSes I throw together in the mornings!! I actually have a link to your website under “favorite blogs” and if you ever wanted to do a guest post, I would be more than happy to share it for you!
Feel free to click the “About” button on my website to learn a little more about me and why I choose to blog. My ultimate goal is to have nutrition education added to our high school curriculum, but, like you, I also simply want to help inspire the world to live a happier, healthier life.
Check it out at gloriouseats.com, and you can bet I’ll be staying tuned on how that handsome H-Dawg is doing!:P

Congrats on the honor!
I write over at http://www.jensoncrew.blogspot.com
My writings include DIY projects on a budget and my passion for design. I also include my journey as a new mommy with another on the way.
Congratulations on your Fitness Magazine feature. It is certainly well-deserved. Here’s my plug:
Holistic Spark started as a healthy living blog from an African American perspective. The blog details my quest to maintain a 40 lb weight loss, success/failures in the kitchen, and now my pregnancy (I’m 24 weeks along!).
Thank you for providing the opportunity to promote our blogs.
Congrats on the Fitness Magazine feature! How awesome!
At the moment I blog at http://www.chandeleah.com/blog about all things fitness, health, travel – anything that takes my fancy really! It’s a bit of a jumble but I hope to streamline it into more of a healthy living blog soon.
I’m a New Zealander living in London (but just spent the last year living in Canada) so I love making new friends all around the world – come say hi!
Thanks again for giving us the chance to plug our blogs hehe!
I know I’m late on the congrats but way to go!
So about my blog…
Unlike a lot of the blogs I follow (and love), I don’t think I fall in to any specific “category”. I’m not a personal trainer (although I’m a fitness enthusiast). I don’t document my everyday life (i.e. no pics of food 3 times per day, etc.).
So what do I blog about? As a registered dietitian (RD) who works in pediatrics, I write about my true passion in life, which is NUTRITION! Sometimes I talk about experiences I’ve had with my kiddos at work, and sometimes I talk about how wine has some health benefits which makes me feel better about going out. I encourage anyone who loves nutrition (or is just curious) to stop by the ol blog, because I LOVE sharing (and receiving) more food and nutrition info from others
Congrats on the award!!
So many of my faovorite bloggers on that list but I always love finding new blogs to read – my quest for insperation is endless.
My blog is http://runninginpink.com/ – I write mostly about running, but also finding a healthy balance between life, food and fitness. One of my favorite sayings in regards to healthy living is “never buy bigger pants”.
I can’t wait to check out your blog. I’ve recently lost about 20lbs for the exact reason your tag line suggests. I was never really that overweight, however my pants wern’t fitting anymore and as I tell people when they ask why?!? I say well I’m 29 and not pregnant there is not good reason for me to out grow my pants.

I love your blog, so I can see why it won – congratulations! I read some of the others and have added the rest to my Google reader.
I have a blog that I try really hard to keep updated about my crazy life having adventures as a (fairly new) ph.d. in the Boston area – http://janieliz19.wordpress.com
YAY! So happy you made it in! I will need to go get a copy.
My blog is balancedbritt.blogspot.com
It is an everyday life/pregnancy/honesty at it’s best kind of blog. I love reading birth stories and tracking others pregnancies so now that it is my turn to be growing the bump, I figured I would give back by adding more info to the pile.
I am documenting my pregnancy and ::fingers crossed:: hopefully my natural birth in November. Thanks to you Caitlin, I now know about the Bradley Method and am loving everything I am reading.
Zulkey.com, because I’ve been running that noise since before the word “blog” even existed. And sometimes it’s actually kind of funny!
(And also, I am proud of the fact that I started it for free and then somebody [NPR] started paying me to keep it up!)
Yay, Caitlin! Congrats on being recognized as one of the Fitterati and thanks for letting us bloggers plug our own sites on yours.
My blog is Just Call Me Janks (http://justcallmejanks.wordpress.com). It documents my life in Baltimore, MD – upcoming wedding, daily adventures, recipes, reviews and workouts.
Congrats, Caitlin! Well-deserved!
My blog Things After the Rings (http://thingsafterrings.com) is about my life as a twenty-something newlywed. I blog about marriage, life in DC, and trying to figure things out as a 20-something (family, friendships, career, balance, money) etc.
Thanks for letting me plug my blog!
I blog at SweatyGirl.net
My blog is about my journey of losing (more) weight and reaching my weight, health, and fitness goals!
When I work hard, I sweat, and I used to be embarrassed of it. Because girls sweating is gross, right? Well, No. I am proud to be a hard workin’ sweaty girl!
I had no idea there were awards! I would have voted for some of my favorites.
My blog is 110 Pounds and Counting about how I lost over 100 pounds and kept it off for almost 4 years now.

Congrats Caitlin! I super love your blog, and am pleased that you’re allowing us to pimp our blogs out on yours
Mine’s a new work-in-progress. One Year To Thirty is basically me doing 30 things before I turn 30 in order to change my life. I just turned 29 on Sunday, and apparently I’m totally freaking out about the next milestone.
Check it out at http://oneyeartothirty.wordpress.com !
Congratulations
My blog is http://foodintent.com I blog about my weight loss journey & the ups and downs of it. I’m really just starting to get serious about losing the weight (even though I’ve been battling it for the past 6 years). It’s a place where I blog about trying to lose weight while having a good time and enjoying [food] and other things life has to offer!
Mine came today – it was exciting – congrats!
My blog is raisinglittlered.blogspot.com. It’s mostly about parenting, raising our two daughters, our attempts at clean eating and my passion for running!
CONGRATS!!!
My mailman is so slow that I havne’t received this month’s Fitness yet, but I was excited to see the magazine recognizing all the amazing healthy lifestyle bloggers our there who share their ideas, struggles, achievments, thoughts, and photos every day! It’s why I started blogging in the first place!
This is great! I love finding new blogs to follow
I write at http://www.triathletsgarden.wordpress.com about my adventures in gardening, (mostly) healthy cooking, and endurance sport, particular triathlon. I’m particularly passionate about getting women and girls involved in what can be an intimidating sport to start with!
Duh typo! You’d think I could spell my own blog.. http://www.triathletesgarden.wordpress.com It’s obviously time for bed here in Australia!
My name is Jessi and I blog over at doctoratehousewife.com The tagline is “What my degree in IPE didn’t teach me about baking, DIY, fitness, and life.” Basically it’s a little of all those things. =)
Congrats Caitlin!!
congrats on the award!
Congrats Caitlin!
I recently started my blog (http://pauselesslyactive.wordpress.com) to give my poor memory some help remembering my adventures. It’s mostly food, some wine and beer, travels (random work trip to China? ok!), a few races (first triathlon in Sept!), and all the things I do with my buddies in the limited amount of time I’m not in the chem lab (life of a grad student).
Hey friends (and hooray, Caitlin)!
I’ve been blogging at Inspiration-Driven Life for almost a year and what a journey it has been! It’s a little bit faith, a little bit community, a little bit friendship & marriage, a little bit food. Would love to have you visit!

Well done on your award! I blog at http//:liveforfood.co.uk about food, home cooking, weight maintenance and nutrition.
Congratulations! I will admit I ran out and bought the magazine
I recently finished my very first 5k and part of my motivation have been blogs such as yours and The wannabe athlete so thank you!
Here is my blog: chubbymamacupcakes.wordpress.com
my little tag line is – a mom blog with a dash of baking, a couple pounds to lose and a whole world to change
This is a great idea! I love finding new blogs! My is Brittney Breathing http://www.brittneybreathing.com and I blog about healthy living, wedding planning (for now at least!), cooking and much more!
I’ve been reading your blog for years now (three? has it been that long already??), and was so excited to see your cute lil face in my Fitness the other day
And yes, I voted for you! Congrats!!
Congrats Caitlyn! Your blog and recipes are inspiring! Fitness knows what they judge of! Way to go!
Thanks for the plug opp! Together We Dare is a website for women to come together to get and share support in their weight loss journeys through teams, dares, resources, and my blog. The blog journals my progress to lose weight and train for triathlons while being a mom, wife and run 2 businesses. DareBIG!
Congrats! I am Jennifer of ItSuxToBeFat. Thanks for the mention! I am so excited to be fellow bloggers on Fitness Magazine’s website! We are going to rock it!
I am blogging my way to healthy, one bite at a time!! I am a mother, a wife, an employee, really nothing unique, just trying to find my own way!
I used my blog for my recent one-month trip to Europe. Now that I am home I am taking http://www.taratripp.com through a transition to healthy recipes, crafting, and training.

All about running, reading and real life! I’m about neck in neck with running posts and reading posts, and the real life portion is sprinkled in for I’m not a professional writer, but instead a mom of two, a part time working woman, and a total extrovert so another way to connect with people and be ChattyNatty.
My name is Ellie, I am an 18-year-old journalism student, hoping to get noticed for my writing along the way by posting to my blog daily.
On http://elliephantintheroom.wordpress.com/ I tend to write about my opinions on a variety of issues like things I’ve seen during my day, the occasional rant/gossip, controversial current affairs and the elephant in the room.
I’m struggling to reach much of an audience, so I’d really appreciate it if anyone were to have a read and give me any feedback.
Congrats on the blogging award, Caitlin!
You can find my blog here: http://www.chocolaterunningshoes.com
It’s still a baby blog, but I’m really enjoying blogging! I use it as a space to blog about a big passion of mine…FITNESS! and food, too
Little late to the party, but I’ll throw mine in anyways!
I just started my blog yesterday, I’d love some people to come check it out! I’m still finding my voice, but I’m focusing on fitness, food, recipes, eating disorder recovery, the importance of sprinkles on desserts…whatever is on my mind that day!
Would love to meet some people!
Wow, I’ve been out of the look and am just catching up! Crazy summer! Anyhoo- I write a vegetarian, healthy (mostly) food blog called Keep It Simple Foods. I’m also a big fan of Oh She Glows, Breathe Magazine online, How Sweet It Is, and Lauren’s Latest.
There are so many great blogs out there, including HTP! xoxo
