Since she was a child, Beth has struggled with her weight. Her blog is about her efforts to live a healthy lifestyle. Since 2009 she has lost a significant amount of weight through Weight Watchers and exercise. I liked her style of writing - honest, open and helpful, so I signed up to receive her posts. Her most recent post is about a contest that begins this Monday, March 4. The contest, also called Social Dieting , is run through Diet Bet .

I am always a sucker for a fun way to lose weigh
