I posted a YouTube video for the first time in ages. It feels good to have a more visible presence in that community again.

For those of you who don’t know—I began vlogging my weight loss back in Feb ‘07 on YouTube. Back then there was a small community of vloggers who watched each others videos and gave support to one another through the medium of commenting or making video responses. The YouTube weight loss community has grown exponentially since then and the video quality has for the most part become very good. This is probably one of the reasons why I don’t post as much anymore. I can make great videos, it’s just finding the time to do all the editing!!

All that said, I’m going to continue keeping that online video diary for myself. And the encouragement is great. It’s a buzz getting all the comments :)

I was made a YouTube ‘partner’ back in May. I don’t know why they accepted me on my first application through—there are so many incredibly talented vloggers out there who make incredible content who I know have put several applications in and not had them approved. However I’m quite pleased they accepted me and now that I’ve got my banners up it definitely makes me want to post more.
