For those of you who didn’t understand my reference to “muffin top”….  Note how the top of the pants cut into this poor woman’s stomach/waist area and cause an overflow of chub… That, my dear friends, is the muffin top.  That, my dear readers, is what we DONT want to have happen – ever again.

There are 2 ways of rectifying this situation – 1) buy bigger pants that do NOT cause the muffin top phenomena or 2) lose weight.

We have opted for #2.  Enjoy the journey.

It has been one whole week since the inaugural post here at AOF and what have we got to show for it?  What have we learned?

1. Prevention.com has an amazing tracking tool to help you keep track of what you’re doing, what you’re doing wrong and what you’re doing right.
2. We need to eat less carbs and fat…and more protein.
3. Everyone has a different story.
4. This is harder than we thought.

Proud to have started such a personal, and popular blog that so many people can come to fir ideas, advice and support.  Here is to many more weeks.

Here at the AOF we always encourage others to share their stories; fat, thin or in between – we all have a tale to weave.  The next post will be from a reader who wants to remain anonymous, which we will respect one-hundred percent.

She’ll give you her story so I don’t need to go much further here.  She hopes to contribute here and there about her struggles and triumphs and get the love and support she needs from the AOF and it’s readers to help her on her journey from inner turmoil towards outer hottitude.  Please join us in welcoming GhostWriter12 to the fold.

Welcome one and all to the Audacity of Fat; quite possibly the coolest, more frank, honest blog out there about getting in better shape, trimming off a few inches and having fun while doing it.  We hope to be able to share personal experiences, tips that work for us, and support in times of low willpower against cookies, candy and the like.  So join us for the journey to become more fit and more fabulous than ever before!
