Welcome to those visiting from Claudia Zapata’s article in the San Antonio Express-News, Dieters finding willpower on Web.
As Claudia mentioned, I started this blog more than a year before Blogging Away Fat. This blog has kept me focused and motivated to pay off our debt and I hoped that blogging about my weight would help me do the same. So far, so good…and I’ve lost 13.5 lbs.
I do find many similarities between losing debt and losing weight. While different goals, they both require that you have motivation and a committment to changing your lifestyle. Tackling both is not easy, but blogging about it is keeping me focused.
Here’s a few tidbits about Blogging Away Debt:
1.) I post monthly where my money went, and share what we are doing to try to keep our spending down.
2.) I post monthly how much we make. We currently make around $36,000-45,000/year (depends on if my husband has work available), but I am always trying to bring in more income.
3.) I post almost every day and usually it is personal finance related.
4.) You can bookmark this site to keep updated, or if you have a feed reader you can Subcribe to my Full Feed. If you have an email address, you can also Subscribe via Email. Every day that I post you will receive one email with the posts that I wrote for that day.
5.) I love comments and I love the interaction with readers. Some of the best information on here is when I post something and then my readers give suggestions or tell about their own personal life. That’s the beauty of blogs!
As for where to start, here’s a recap of 2006:

And here’s something I wrote that highlights my frugal posts of 2006:

You are a great inspiration. I absolutely love your blog. You are helping quite a bit of people.
I am also working to pay off my debt, except I have set a goal to pay off $72,900 worth of debt by April 2009. =)
Hi Tricia!
Pretty cool!
Thank you for the nice post.
Dear Tricia,
I am doing a story for Quick and Simple Magazine about erasing debt and think you might be a good subject. My email is wadsley@aol.com. Congratulations! Love to share tips with our readers.
