The B-I-G news

No, Palmtreechick, I am not preggers.

But I DO have a different sort of bun in the oven, you could say:

Weighting Game is moving!! My "bun" is the brand spanking new site NeverSayDiet.com, a fresh, new site powered by iVillage that offers real weight-loss and healthy living solutions for women of ALL shapes and sizes who want to feel great, be well and love their body. It's really no different from Weighting Game, except you'll need to change your bookmark to http://www.neversaydiet.com/body-image Eventually, the link will be http://www.neversaydiet.com/lesliegoldman -- I'll let you know when -- but for now, you can also read postings by fitness expert Lindsay Dunlap, "The Curvy Counselor" Liria Mersini, moi, and assorted BlogHer contributors (our beloved Zandria just posted something about Love Your Body Day).

This new site will have TONS of readers - all of whom you can turn on to YOUR blogs via comments (c'mon, admit it, you know you like that) - plus fabulous, original content. Stories on anything from Yoga Booty Ballet to obsessions with peanut butter to daily workout videos ...and at the beginning of the year, I'll be the featured body image coach helping guide readers (hopefully some of you!) through the 6-week NeverSayDiet Community Challenge.

To any of you who have found humor, solace, or friendship here at the Weighting Game, I am begging you really hope you switch out your bookmark so we can continue our relationship and keep talking about all things muffin top, airbrushing and Tree Pose. I'll likely continue to blog here in a limited capacity for the rest of the year, but Never Say Diet will be my major new home.

Lastly, I want to apologize to any of you whom have noticed a dearth of comments lately by me on your blogs. Now that my neck is getting better (doing the Happy Dance here would be the understatement of the decade), my hands have decided that 10 years of hunting and pecking is enough and I've got some major pain going on. I've drastically limited my typing time and recently bought this - I kid you not, it's for ages 8 and up - to relearn how to type without looking like I'm banging out a piano concerto. Last night, I learned where the home keys are. Baby steps.

I love and appreciate you all so much and am grateful for your patience and dedication. It means so much to me.

See you at NeverSayDiet.com!!!

Are you with me?!

PS MizFit is letting me guest blog tomorrow! Check me/us out!

Woo hoo! This is excellent news. An internet bun in the oven, as it were... I'm hopelessly nerdy, I know.

i hope that you'll stick to body-image topics in the future...i really don't care about your husband (although i'm sure he's a great guy) or what you ate for breakfast or what you wore to the gym....save that for your personal blog, okay?

It sounds awesome! Of course I'll be following you there. (And YAY for already being included since iVillage gets some of its content from BlogHer!)

I tried to save the feed for the new site to my Google Reader, but it didn't recognize the web address. Can you please find out if there's a specific feed and let us know? Thanks!

Posted by Zandria on November 25 at 11:41am

Looking forward to the new site, Leslie!! Happy Thanksgiving!!

Posted by Dr. J on November 25 at 12:31pm

You can tell I'm a child of the 80's...I keep reading that website as "Never Say Die"...as in "Goonies Never Say Die" :)

Posted by Colleen on November 25 at 02:32pm

Hi,

Good to know that we can go continue this for long.
