Today was the first ever FitBloggin’ Local! Did you get a chance to reconnect with fellow FitBloggers? What did you do? Who did you meet? How did it go?
Inquiring minds want to know! Please leave a link to your posts about the Meetup in the comments, letting us know how it went!
Let’s keep the FitBloggin community going strong and connect with fellow Bloggers in your local community.
Our very first official FitBloggin’ Local date is July 9, 2011.
Meet and stay in touch with others who are interested in fitness, wellness, good food and a healthy lifestyle. We don’t have to do this alone or virtually! FitBloggin’ Local allows you to volunteer and run a mini-FitBloggin’ in your very own community!
Some ideas for your meetup… Organize a fun run at a local park, catch up at local cafe, go hiking, share blogging tips, hold an outdoor meeting, the possibilities are endless!
Cities added so far… Read the rest of The First Ever FitBloggin’ Local!»»
It is now officially a FitBloggin’ tradition to squish all the attendees into a group photo. This year we did it after the keynote address on Saturday so we lost quite a few folks but it’s still a fabulous pic of the troopers.
All the photos from the official FitBloggin’ Photographer, Carrie D, are available on Flickr. We have them separated in sets by day. Read the rest of Official FitBloggin’11 Photos are Posted!»»
FitBloggin’11 is officially over BUT we get to relive it all through your posts! Please leave links to recaps below.

To access the internet during the conference follow these instructions…
This year we were able to negotiate for free internet access in attendee rooms. If you made your reservations under the FitBloggin code wireless will be available automatically in your room. No code necessary.
Let me know if you have any questions.
UPDATE: You do NOT need to code for the room access. Connect to the Ibahn network without the code and accept the charges. Your account will be credited when you check out. Sorry for the confusion.

It’s an exchange site for people on their weight loss journey to post and win clothes as they “size down” to meet their goal weight! All for just the cost of shipping! It’s easy, it’s fun and it’s a great way to save money! And GCX has some really, really big news! Read the rest of The Great Clothing Exchange at FitBloggin’»»
Join Paolo Sambrano and Susan Ito (“Foodie McBody”) as their fitness blogs come to life on the stage!
Paolo is not above lying to the clerk at Popeye’s, saying that the 24 piece chicken strip meal he’s buying is for his family when what he really intends is to construct chicken strip-biscuit-french fry-mashed potato sandwiches while watching Star Trek: The Next Generation in the dark. Between kettlebells, strippers with hearts of gold, and weighing food, I Get Wet is about being a fatass, not being a fatass, and being a fatass again.
Foodie McBody was an overweight, rice-loving couch potato when she got the wakeup call that threatened diabetes. Follow her roller coaster ride in “FoodFoodBodyBody”, from the doctor’s office to Weight Watchers and the world of Couch-to-5k and secret blogging. Can she have her cake and have her health too?
Susan and Palo will be performing Friday night at 8PM in Salon A and/or B, we are still working on some details!
This week’s training schedule…
That’s right. You’re last workout in the Couch to 5k training program is the actual FitBloggin’5k!
Arriving early for the conference? Then Join us for the Welcome and Name Tag Decorating Mixer Thursday evening at 6 PM… Read the rest of Come Express Yourself At the FitBloggin’ Welcome and Name Tag Decorating Mixer!»»
Building community is necessary for the success of your blog. You’ll need to not only inspire your community but balance it with a monetizing strategy. Join us for Building an Online Community: Balancing, Monetizing and Inspiring were we will discuss:
Part of the “Design 101″ session will include a design critique of blogs written by participants brave enough to submit their sites for public review. As part of her session, web designer Jennette Fulda from Make My Blog Pretty will point out areas for improvement in your design and highlight the things you’re doing right. She promises not to make you cry. If you’re interested in potentially having your site reviewed, leave a comment below with your blog address.
In just 2 weeks–that’s only 6 more training sessions–you’ll be running 5k at FitBloggin’! Mara has been doing PHENOMINAL! SO let’s check in with her first… Read the rest of Cto5k Series: Week 8 – 2 Weeks to go!»»
Not only is May Fitbloggin’ month (YEAH!) but did you know it’s also National Runners Month? In fact, our official “Recovery” sponsor, The Cherry Marketing Institute, will be co-hosting a Twitter party with Rebecca Scritchfield, MA, RD on Monday, May 16 at 8:30 p.m. EST to talk about how diet plays a key role in managing post-exercise muscle pain and soreness – especially eating anti-inflammatory foods, like tart cherries. Studies show that cherries contain powerful antioxidants called anthocyanins – responsible for cherries bright RED color — that may help the body recover more effectively after a tough workout. Join the Twitter party and learn more helpful tips and where to find great-tasting recipes to fuel the body for performance. Best of all, you’ll have a chance to win awesome prizes.
Be sure to follow @ScritchfieldRD and @ChooseCherries with #MeFirst and #RedRecovery on Monday, May 16 at 8:30 p.m. EST to participate! I’ll be there, too!
And, stop by the Cherries booth at the Fitbloggin’ expo for a Red Recovery Break to sample tart cherries and learn more about the fruit’s unique recovery benefits.
