A look back, thin:dependence celebrates a year!

July 2, 2008 – a little site, called thin:dependence was born.  A few friends and I had no idea what it took to keep something like this running, but we were determined to get our message out.  Living a healthy lifestyle doesn’t mean you have to go broke trying – or lose our  minds! Here we were, lost in a sea of weight loss websites and ‘lose weight fast’ schemes everywhere.. How could we stand out? We didn’t try so much to stand out, as we just tried to be true to ourselves in what we look for when we’re reading on the web, and bring it to you to enjoy. We declared our thin:dependence, and wanted you to do the same!

We have changed format a few times, and we’ve changed writers, but the focus remains the same – getting healthy without the excuses!

Taking a look back, let’s look at some of my favorite pieces!

From recipes, like Meatloaf, from Cook Yourself Thin, Homemade Baby Food and finally – the Ginger Chicken!

And then the 1250 Calorie Diet is a great starting point for anyone looking to gain a little structure.

Once you’ve got your diet underway, how about the question; Is a Treadmill Better than Walking?

We’ve had quite a few Spotlights as well – miss one? Check out the whole thin:dependence list!

Moving into 2009 – we’ve found some tips, but we’ve also been lucky enough to branch off into a new area, and provide thin:dependence readers with giveaways.  Our first (of many to come) was the Flexitarian Diet book.

So take a look around, we’ve got a lot here – and we’ve got A LOT more in store for the upcoming future. Thanks for sticking with us during our first year!
