You've done it dozens of times before--resolved to lose those extra pounds during the coming year. Worked out like crazy, ate healthy, really stuck to it...for a week. Then it was back to your old habits until the next December 31st when you resolved to lose those extra pounds...

If you want to break that vicious cycle, you need to do something different. This year, let the internet help you lose weight. "The Coolest Weightloss Blog Ever" kicks off one person's journey to lose 50 pounds, starting January 1st.

By getting a peek into someone else's personal life, regular visitors will have the advantage of knowing they're not alone in their struggles. More than just a diary, the blog will also point out resources, giving guests the added benefit of information about products, systems, and websites that can help them achieve their weight loss goals.

"The nice thing about a weight loss site in the format of a blog," says Edie Pool, author of The Coolest Weightloss Blog Ever, "is that it's interactive. People can leave comments, talk about what has worked for them, answer other people's questions, and so on. It's not just about what I have to say, but you get this whole community of people helping and encouraging each other."
