  • Stacy @ Every Little Thing June 25, 2012, 1:16 pm

    Thanks for the opportunity to plug our blogs! I think my favorite from the above list is Iowa Girl Eats, mostly because she makes good quality recipes that aren’t intimidating and have the bonus health factor.

    My blog ( everylittelthingblog.com ) is about all natural and organic eating, and supporting a hyper-local lifestyle. I work to get most of my food from local sources (farms, markets, co-ops, etc), and support my community (St. Louis!). I’m an active member of Slow Food St. Louis and do whatever I can to support area events, people, restaurants, etc. The majority of my posts are recipes using only all natural foods, and my goal is to show people that buying groceries from their farmer’s market and turning into a quality meal doesn’t have to be intimidating!

    Thanks again!

  • Rachael @ Mrs-Adventure June 25, 2012, 1:18 pm

    First CONGRATS on the Fitteratis that’s awesome!

    I write at http://www.Mrs-Adventure.com where I share recipes, travel tales and of course our misadventures. I’m pregnant at the moment so the hormones have been flying all of which is reflected honestly and tearfully.

  • Ashley June 25, 2012, 1:19 pm

    CONGRATS! Caitlin, that’s great.

    I am nowhere NEAR a fitness blog (though I did recently complete my first half-marathon and I’ve been vegetarian for 7.5 years).

    I blog about green living and minimalism. Less stuff, more life! Oh, and I have my own design business and a son who’s nearly two, so that comes up…all the time. 🙂

    My blog: Our Little Apartment

  • Sarah June 25, 2012, 1:20 pm

    Congrats!! There are so many great blogs that won, plus a few I had never heard of. It always amazes me how many great blogs there are out there.

    My blog is http://www.goingongoals.com. I blog about food, fitness and my daily adventures. Lately my blog has been very wedding heavy as I recently got married.

  • Alayna @ Thyme Bombe June 25, 2012, 1:20 pm

    So nice to encourage all these shameless plugs! I’m Alayna Tucker and I write Thyme Bombe. ( http://thymebombe.com/ ) It was originally a healthy living blog, but lately it’s been a lot more lifecasting. I cook mostly asian food at home, and I’m about a month out from completing my first cookbook! It’s about how to use common Japanese ingredients in more familiar ways. And this week is a bit of bonus content with a recap of the wedding cake I just made for my brother-in-law. I hope you check it out!

  • Neely June 25, 2012, 1:20 pm

    My blog is called A Complete Waste of Makeup(acompletewasteofmakeup.com) I blog about day to day life as a single, working 20-something in Dallas. I also blog about my struggle with weight loss, my love of wine and reality TV, and of course makeup.

    Congrats!

  • Kelly @ No Sugar Sweet Life June 25, 2012, 1:22 pm

    First of all, congrats!! That’s so wonderful that you won and are being featured like that. I just recently found your blog through another healthy living blog… right before you had your baby! 🙂

    My blog (www.nosugarsweetlife.com) was started when I finally realized life is too short to live perpetually unhappy. I now life the happy healthy life, no sugar added. I lost over 50lbs without counting (calories or points), just cutting added sugar from my diet, eating smaller portions, and adding veggie juices. I offer many great recipes (and photos) along with encouragement for all my readers to live their best life – healthy and happy too!

  • Meari June 25, 2012, 1:23 pm

    I’m meari, and I write over at “The Adventures of the Nerdy Secretary” (http://daneenekh.blogspot.com/)

    I started the blog soon after I left my career, and husband. It chronicles my life, my job, working at a college and my weight loss. I’ve got 40 pounds to go!

    • Meari June 25, 2012, 2:11 pm

      And thanks SO much for this! I think I’ve added 20 blogs to my reader!

      And since I forgot to say it before: Congrats!

  • Jeanelle @ Glocal Girl June 25, 2012, 1:23 pm

    I follow some of those blogs but not all of them, and since I live abroad at the moment I don’t get my Fitness subscription anymore! Thanks!

    I blog over at http://www.glocalgirl.com about my journey as a California girl first living in Barcelona and now in Amsterdam. I write about trying to stay fit (despite missing English-speaking yoga classes), trying to find healthy foods, and all the cultural differences in-between.

    Caitlin, I’m sure being married to a European you can relate to some of these funny differences!

  • Stephanie @ Athlete at Heart June 25, 2012, 1:24 pm

    Congrats!

    My blog is called Athlete at Heart because I LOVE training and racing with all my heart but I’m far from fast and won’t be winning any awards. I have plenty of weight to lose (I’m working on it!) but I don’t let that prevent me from trying all kinds of new athletic endeavors like half marathons and olympic distance triathlons. Check it out 🙂

  • Megan@ The Running Doc June 25, 2012, 1:24 pm

    Congrats and thanks for the list of some new blogs to check out!

    I blog at http://www.therunningdoc.com about my daily adventures with running, swimming, and weight training as well as my boyfriend and I’s attempt to eat gluten-free since he discovered he has Celiac Disease.

  • Shannon Whitney June 25, 2012, 1:26 pm

    My blog is called “Call Me Shannon” and can be found at:
    http://shannonwhitney.wordpress.com/

    I write about all kinds of different things, reading, running, health, Beyonce, silly stories and any other topic that’s on my mind. I try to keep it light with a fun tone and plenty of pop culture references. When I started my dad was one of few regular readers, but since my readership has grown.

    It’s great to have an online community and a place to share my writing. Take a read and let me know what you think!

  • Michelle June 25, 2012, 1:27 pm

  • Jen @nutcaseinpoint June 25, 2012, 1:28 pm

    I blog over at nutcaseinpoint.com

    I started my blog a few months ago when I moved from Boston to Calgary (in Canada….crazy!) to keep in touch with family and friends. I’m a certified personal trainer and fitness instructor and I post tons of workouts (since I can’t yet work in Canada). I also write about my relationship with food, tequila and my dog. And my man. Since I did move here for him!

  • Cristina @ Girl Meets Pink June 25, 2012, 1:29 pm

    Congrats on your award! You earned it.

    I blog at Girl Meets Pink (http://girlmeetspink.wordpress.com) and even though its undergoing a revamp, I write about striving for balance with healthy eating, fitness and self acceptance. I found inner peace with running and turned to that to help me digest my thoughts versus internalizing them!

  • Britt June 25, 2012, 1:30 pm

    Congrats on the award!! Your blog was one of the first that I started reading!

    I started http://www.thebusybeewrites.com to share recipes, but I picked a blog name that could encompass whatever the blog evolved into. I live a pretty face-paced and busy life style. School. Work. Husband. Dogs. House. Etc. Etc. What I’ve been realizing over the past two years is that I struggle the most with finding balance. (Don’t we all?) Gaining weight, stressing out, not sleeping enough. So the blog has really morphed into an exploration of how to find balance and enjoy life rather than being swept up by it. I’d call it a living well blog. I share my struggles and successes, as well as inspiration from others.

  • Jessenia June 25, 2012, 1:30 pm

    Congrats on the magazine! 🙂

  • Julia @ Brides Up North June 25, 2012, 1:32 pm

    Well hello Caitlin and well done you. Very much enjoying your pre pregnancy posts (although you birth story did scare the beejezuz out of me it was very interesting!).

Being fit is one big balancing act, and I’m just trying to avoid falling off the balance beam.

    I actually write for two blogs. One (www.iloveyoulikeamango.com) is fairly new and chronicles my adventures in motherhood – lots of photos, videos and musings. Started as a way to keep my family in the loop but has started evolving into something more.

    The other is a blog I keep with my mom and sister (www.chickpeachatter.com) – we found ourselves emailing every morning about the recipes we tried for dinner last night, or the craziness of some new fad diet, or a new workout dvd, or whatever, so we decided to share these on the blogosphere instead. Been going for over a year now, and it’s so much fun 🙂

    Looking forward to checking out all these great new (new-to-me) blogs that folks are mentioning here!!

  • Janae @ Bring-Joy June 25, 2012, 2:09 pm

As a group fitness instructor of 6 years, I’ve had to juggle raising my young kids, supporting a husband in law school (he’s finally an attorney), & figuring out how to be a great mom. I’m vegan & more recently, gluten-free, so I share recipes, video workouts, & snippets of family life.

    My blog http://pardeemom.wordpress.com/ is just about my life. I started it in January 2010 when I was struggling with regaining some weight I had previously lost on Weight Watchers. I write about my workouts, my food, my kids, my life, Weight Watchers and just anything I feel like sharing.

    Oh, and Pardeemom has nothing to do with being a party animal! LOL I’m definately NOT one. It has to do with the town I live in.

  • Ingunn June 25, 2012, 2:23 pm

    Congratulations, that’s so cool!

    My blog is mostly about hiking and backpacking (and how I’m building confidence through those endeavors after struggling through major depression).

  • Lydia @ Inhabit the Beauty June 25, 2012, 2:23 pm

    Thanks for this opportunity, and congratulations on being featured!

    I am a real woman engaged in the real struggle against obesity. I’m working to find a healthier, happier lifestyle through diet and exercises. I hope that my experiences can help to inspire, encourage or reassure others to make a healthy change in their life.

    I am in my early 30s, married, and live in Kentucky. My state consistently has poor rankings in health and fitness surveys. I don’t want to be one of those statistics! I want to be a part of that change in our culture.

    The blog is a space for me to share the ups and downs of my quest for a healthier life. For me, weight loss is a key component to that healthier life. I don’t pretend to know what is the right decision for others!

  • Cassie June 25, 2012, 2:24 pm

    Caitlin – that’s wonderful, congratulations!

    I recently started a new blog, part of my new determination to stop obsessing about food and diet (so I don’t write about that)! Early this summer, I decided I wanted to read all of Jane Austen’s novels and I realized I could do that – and watch the films, read some criticisms, etc. by the end of the summer. One season. Three months.

    And thus we now have threemonthproject.blogspot.com. I have two projects right now – Summer of Austen and Project Ukulele. I don’t know where this blog will go, but I’m pretty excited about tackling a bunch of new things in 3-month chunks.

  • Dominique Bain June 25, 2012, 2:24 pm

    Let me second all the congratulations from everyone. I have really enjoyed your blog since I found it a couple of months ago – especially everything about your pregnancy and new baby. I’m pregnant and due July 8th – so it has been fun to follow someone’s journey who’s only a couple of weeks ahead of me.

    I don’t have a blog – but my husband does. He blogs about hiking in Northern Arizona including the Grand Canyon, running, yoga, food and weight-loss. The blog is http://wanderingmonkeys.blogspot.com/
    It has been a great tool for him to continue working towards his goals with healthy living and weight loss.

  • Bethany June 25, 2012, 2:25 pm

    I write about everything from running socks, to injuries, to life, to my drama and craziness, to my fashion attempts, my marriage, my dogs, TARGET!, shopping, cooking, cookies, work, school, reading, etc.

    Pretty much it’s an ongoing public diary of my life epiphanies.

  • Claire @ Live and Love to Eat June 25, 2012, 2:26 pm

    My blog, Live and Love to Eat,(http://www.clairetherd.com) is unique because I’m a dietitan and love to publish 99% healthy recipes – not just desserts! I also recently started a weekly breakfast food link up to encourage eating breakfast as part of a healthy lifestyle. Congrats on your win! 🙂

  • Danielle @ D.SellsSeashells June 25, 2012, 2:29 pm

    My blog is called D. Sells Seashells. I blog about fitness, running, health, food, and a few random topics (skin care, fashion) here and there.

    I started my blog because I lost 100lbs and through the process, learned that weight loss needs to be a customized process; not all weight-loss rules, tips and tricks will work for everyone, or even most people.

    My weight loss has required a personal paradigm shift. I’ve abandoned Weight Watchers, I don’t eat breakfast every day, and some days I don’t get my recommended dose of vegetables.

    I’ve learned some tips through my journey so far and come have up with my own “tools” for weight loss, and I’m using them to lose the last 20lbs.

  • Courtney @ Sweet Tooth, Sweet Life June 25, 2012, 2:30 pm

    Thanks so much for the mention, Caitlin! Congrats to you, too 🙂

  • Amber K June 25, 2012, 2:32 pm

    Yay! I am so glad you gave a shout out to all the other awesome blogs! I can’t wait to read them!

    My blog is http://www.supersana.com and it really is just my space to blog about my family, my life, my culture and the food and exercises that I love 🙂

  • Alex @ Alex Eats Green June 25, 2012, 2:32 pm

    Congrats Caitlin! That’s amazing (although it doesn’t surprise me).

    Say plug, and I’ll come running. I’m a vegetarian who likes eating veggies, cheese fries, and frolicking around NYC where I live.

    Come hang out with me at http://www.alexeatsgreen.com.

    Thanks Caitlin!

    PS. Henry is too cute. Congratulations to you and Kristien on your beautiful baby boy!

  • Kate June 25, 2012, 2:34 pm

  • Margaret June 25, 2012, 2:41 pm

    Congrats Caitlin!

    My main blog is Weighing the Waste (http://weighingthewaste.blogspot.com/). I approach environmental issues with a combination of statistical/quantifiable analysis and practical solutions and tips!

    I also am doing a 30 Before 30 list (http://3years30before30.blogspot.com/), and recently started a new blog for anything else in life that doesn’t fit the other two blogs (http://balancingmeanderings.blogspot.com/).

  • Elisabeth June 25, 2012, 2:43 pm

    I don’t have my own blog, but I love to read several of the winning blogs – including HTP! I was psyched to see that list the other night when I was reading the magazine because I found a few new ones to read. Congratulations, Caitlin! 🙂

  • Kristin @ Iowa Girl Eats June 25, 2012, 2:44 pm

    Thanks so much for the shout out, Caitlin! AND congrats on baby Henry – he is such a doll, and your birth story is so inspiring. Hope you are enjoying this time with him and The Doc!

  • Reenie June 25, 2012, 2:45 pm

    Congrats!!!

    I don’t blog….I’m just a blog stalker….err I mean blog reader =)

  • Tasha - The Clean Eating Mama June 25, 2012, 2:46 pm

    WOOHOO Congrats on the mention! Did you know you had won?

    I have been blogging for several years when I decided to change my eating habits for good. I was an overweight child who dabbled in eating disorders as I grew older. When I gave birth to my son I wanted to show him healthy examples and not have him go through the same torture that I did.
    It started out documenting my every day eats… then slowed down as life got busy and I was only posting recipes. All based on Clean Eating.
    Now I am in another transition – I want to make it a resource for ALL Clean Living – recipes, restaurants, products, etc.
    But for now, I am still posting vegan recipes, life happenings and the occasional rant.
    Healthy Eating!

  • Steph @ A Life without Ice Cream June 25, 2012, 2:49 pm

    Woohoo! So many new blogs to check out!

    My blog – http://www.alifewithouticecream.com is about healthy living, eating, and eating dairy free with IBS. It features recipes that are 100% dairy free as well as some vegan recipes.

  • Ashley @ My Food 'N' Fitness Diaries June 25, 2012, 2:51 pm

    I write at “My Food ‘N’ Fitness Diaries” (http://www.myfoodnfitnessdiaries.com) where I share recipes, workouts, and my own adventures that involve two of my biggest passions – food and fitness!

  • Diane Boyd, MBA, RD, LDN June 25, 2012, 2:53 pm

    My site was voted one of Healthline’ s top 100 health blogs for 2011! As a registered dietitian, I use my site to combine my love for food with my love for helping others reach their health and fitness goals. I include my opinions on hot nutrition topics, recipes and, with the help of a certified strength and conditioning coach, even some fitness tips/exercises! Thanks for the opportunity to plug http://www.capefearnutrition.com!!!!!!!!

  • Vanessa June 25, 2012, 2:53 pm

    Congrats Caitlin! I’m familiar with several of the Fitterati winners, but not all — so looking forward to checking them out!

    I recently started a tumblr called Dress Like Dessert. The primary focus is creating outfit ideas based on delicious desserts. Sounds silly, but this has always been a passion of mine. And silly is good, right? 😉 I also include recipes and fun quotes from time to time. =) http://www.dresslikedessert.tumblr.com

    I also have a blog called Swift as Shadows where I write about food/fitness/fashion/faith/etc, though it’s been neglected recently. http://www.swift-as-shadows.blogspot.

  • Alicia at Poise in Parma June 25, 2012, 2:54 pm

    Congrats on the award!

    My blog is called Poise in Parma (http://poiseinparma.com), which I started as a way to keep me accountable for my 100 pound plus weight loss. I focus on sharing my healthy balance here in my hometown of Cleveland, Ohio. I’m currently in yoga teacher training and am building my business as an event planner, so many posts feature those two topics as well. Time to time, I go all crazy-dog-lady & post too many pictures of my Golden Retriever, Grady.

  • Amina Sarraf June 25, 2012, 3:03 pm

    Congrats, Caitlin! You seem fancier already 😉

    I blog about food (I’m hooked on my slow cooker), books, gratitude and life at http://furiouslywriting.blogspot.com/.

  • Caitlin @ This Bride's Joyride June 25, 2012, 3:05 pm

    Congrats, you deserve it!

    I blog over at This Bride’s Joyride [http://thisbridesjoyride.com]. My blog is about my adventures in wedding planning, trying to get fit, and the ups and downs of regular day-to-day life (with a new partner as part of it)!

  • Laura @ My Pink Thumb June 25, 2012, 3:06 pm

    Congrats Caitlin! That’s so exciting!

    And thanks for the opportunity to plug away!

    My blog is called My Pink Thumb (http://mypinkthumb.com) because I like to try and tackle anything and everything I can. Things I like to blog about include my life, food, cooking/recipes, running, working out in general, gardening, DIY stuff, my home.. I like to dabble in a little bit of everything! I recently started a Wordless Wednesday feature where I attempt to play around with my growing photography skills and it seems to really be taking off! 🙂

  • Amanda June 25, 2012, 3:06 pm

    I blog at http://lessonsinfarming.wordpress.com about farming/ gardening/ canning/ cooking and now baby growing. I have lots of info about my DIY wedding on there as well. It’s basically the life of a pregnant, twenty-something, newlywed with a focus on farming. Totally average 😉

  • Marci June 25, 2012, 3:07 pm

    Congrats! My blog (http://www.marcigilbert.com) is becoming more life blog than cooking stories like it used to be. Baby gets in the way! But I’m enjoying telling baby stories and talking about things like that for now.

  • Nancy June 25, 2012, 3:16 pm

    Sweet feature in the magazine Caitlin!

    I’m Nancy and I blog over at http://www.spiffykerms.com – what makes me unique? I don’t have a set topic for my blog, I guess. So perhaps it can fall under the category: Lifestyle blog! (CrossFit, climbing, running, recipes, tons of photos, adventure days!)

    I’ve been blogging since 1999/2000 or so. Such a long time!! I’ve never given up or have taken a long break from it, love my little website.

  • Jessica@YoungFoodies June 25, 2012, 3:16 pm

    I just started blogging after years of following so many great ones (including HTP) and many of my friends telling me that I had to get the word out about my recipes and restaurant dining experiences. My blog is at youngfoodies.com and chronicals my restaurant experiences and home cooked meals. The one thing all successful bloggers have said is write about something you love, and cooking and eating are my true passions. Hope you stop by!

  • Lauren June 25, 2012, 3:19 pm

    Congrats Caitlin! How cool to be featured in Fitness magazine.

    Thanks for letting us plug our blogs- I’ve added several to my reader.

    My blog, Hazelnut and Cinnamon,(http://hazelnutandcinnamon.blogspot.com/) is pretty random. I document the happenings of my 11 month old son, post recipes and nutrition tips, frugal/simple living tips and discuss green living. It’s a work in process, but I enjoy it!

  • Kalli June 25, 2012, 3:19 pm

    Congrats Caitlin! You so deserve the recognition. I think my blog is special because not only do I talk about health and fitness but because I try to inspire people in their 40’s. I hope that my husband and I show that you can work a full time job and be fabulously fit and happy later in life!

  • Tiff @ Love Sweat and Beers June 25, 2012, 3:21 pm

  • Holly @ Momucation June 25, 2012, 3:25 pm

    Wow, congrats Caitlin! And thanks for the opportunity to share our blogs with your readers.

    My blog is Momucation (www.momucation.com). I am a new, first-time mom myself and I have found that all of the things I used to do with ease (cooking, hair and make-up, even a trip to the store) are now much harder to do with a baby, so my blog focuses on how to do these things again, probably with much less time or using one arm, now that baby is here. I call all of these new learning experiences a “Momucation.”

  • Marissa@ohhhsolovely June 25, 2012, 3:25 pm

    i’m a newbie at blogging, but it has been a lot of fun for me so far. i’ve read blogs for about 4years now & enjoy them so much. i think the blogging community is incredible & it’s nice to find others with similar interests!

  • Valerie at The Year of Living Healthfully June 25, 2012, 3:32 pm

    I started my blog “The Year of Living Healthfully” in January to keep myself accountable and motivated to keep doing more and more healthy things for myself. I lost more than 130 pounds and am still trying to get fit and healthy. My hope is that my story will encourage others who feel like they have have trouble making healthy choices. I post about not only physical health (the good and the difficult), but also about the emotional and mental aspects of getting healthy. I post some recipes too. Would love to have you all take a look!

  • Ali @ Super Mario Twins June 25, 2012, 3:44 pm

    Hi Caitlin! Congrats on your award! A lot of your readers, myself included, can only aspire to have half as much of your success! I just started blogging in response to numerous surprises in my life. First that we were pregnant, then to find out they were identical twins and then to have our lives changed when we found out one of the twins has cerebral palsy at 10 months old. This blog is therapeutic for me and allows me to document the beginning of our lifelong journey and some of the struggles we’re faced with. Thanks!

    My husband and I coauthor a blog called White House Dinners (our last name is White). We both work full time and I’m in grad school so we don’t get to update it as often as we would like, but we love to cook, bake, and entertain so the blog serves as a forum to share our cooking adventures with friends and family. Check it out if you get a chance!

  • Leigh June 25, 2012, 4:44 pm

  • Alex @ Raw Recovery June 25, 2012, 6:42 pm

    Congrats Caitlin!

    My name is Alex and I’m a 23 year old recent college graduate and budding entrepreneur. I’d love to see some new faces over at my blog, Raw Recovery (http://myrawrecovery.com) where I talk about my journey to a balanced, healthy, happy life and my recovery from Anorexia, Depression, and Borderline Personality Disorder. You will find no number talk on my blog! I focus on the emotions underlying the issues rather than weight and sizes. I also talk about my rescue dog Angelina, my travels from living in Australia, Greece, and France, and just trying to find peace within myself. I’d love to meet you!!

  • Lisa @ Jogging on Coffee June 25, 2012, 6:46 pm

  • Katie @ Runs for Cookies June 25, 2012, 6:52 pm

  • Gabby (Quest for Delicious) June 25, 2012, 6:54 pm

    Props to you, Caitlyn. You totally deserve it!

    My silly, humble blog is called Quest for Delicious (http://deliciousquest.wordpress.com/). Basically, it’s about my adventures in cooking, discovering great restaurants (especially in my home city of Las Vegas), and random life musings. Come August, my quest continues in Houston as I move there to pursue my master’s in nutrition and complete a dietetic internship to become a registered dietitian. 🙂

  • Ashley June 25, 2012, 7:40 pm

    I blog about inspiring things- food, words (including poetry) and other discoveries that are worth smiling about!

  • Neilson June 25, 2012, 8:02 pm

    I just made my first blog post at http://fittofittest.blogspot.ca/, hoping to share my crossfit experience with the world, any feedback and tips would go a long way!

  • Carrie @ Fitness and Frozen Grapes June 25, 2012, 8:18 pm

    Congratulations, Caitlin!! What an honor 🙂

    I started my blog this month, and I write about fitness, food, and my life as a recent college graduate. I’m training for a half-marathon and sprint triathlon this summer, and I’m hoping to tackle a marathon in the fall. Oh, and find a job 😉

  • Alaina June 25, 2012, 8:19 pm

    My blog is The Jogging Concierge (http://www.joggingconcierge.com). I talk about running and dining around Boston. And I’m also a hotel concierge! 🙂

    That’s awesome that you’re in the magazine!

  • Courtney June 25, 2012, 8:29 pm

    My blog, Courtney Em, is all about my crazy, random life with a bit of healthy living and style thrown in. 😀

  • The Delicate Place June 25, 2012, 8:34 pm

    i’ve been blogging for a couple years now but i don’t have a huge following since i don’t really beat to the typical HLB drum.

    i am a full time biologist in pittsburgh so my blogging is 3-4x a week max! however, i post on a range of topics from the arts to fashion & healthy living!

  • Jolene (Homespun Heritage) June 25, 2012, 8:35 pm

    ~wave~

    We are a large multi-racial family currently adding 2 children from China with the possibility of more in the future. Our blog is a combo of adoption blessings and challenges and our crazy life!

  • Lexi @ You, Me, & A World to See June 25, 2012, 8:36 pm

    Wow, congrats girl!! And you’re so sweet to allow for all this pluggin’. It’s been wonderful discovering so many new blogs.

    http://youmeandaworldtosee.wordpress.com/

    I’m a rising sophomore at Georgetown University. Fueled by music, sunshine, and dreams. Food Aficionado. Nutrition Enthusiast. Dedicated lover of puns.

    “You, Me, and A World to See” (http://youmeandaworldtosee.wordpress.com/)is a blog celebrating my passion for silly musings, whimsical photos, and of course, delicious, healthy food.

    It is a celebration of life. Of reflecting on the ways and means of each and every day. Of striking a balance, getting lost and finding myself. Of learning how to be one for many and tasting happiness along the way.

  • Emily June 25, 2012, 8:38 pm

    The blog, in its infancy, is a testament to the thousands of educators who have lost their job or simply cannot find another. Many of us have masters and doctoral degrees, like myself, but because of massive budget cuts, we are not being hired. It’s just my comical journey and support network for people like myself!!

  • Alex @ Healthy Life Happy Wife June 25, 2012, 8:38 pm

    I read almost all of those blogs! All great in their own way 🙂

    My blog is my attempt at a running blog – but there are still quite a few nights out & too many drinks documented, as well!

    Congrats on the magazine!!

  • Hillary June 25, 2012, 8:42 pm

    Congrats to Caitlin! I’d love to share my blog:
    Health and fitness professionals Hillary Helmling (Yoga Instructor), Jen Morris (Health Coach), and Randi Stone (Pilates & MELT Instructor) met in the Big Apple and bonded over the trials and tribulations of running boutique wellness businesses in the city that never sleeps…or eats well…or works out…or meditates.

    Oh!Spired is a happy medium, bridging the gap between facts and personal interest stories. While readers will find plenty of tangible, hands on healthy stuff, Oh!Spired is irreverent and, at times, self-deprecating. It is NOT about being perfect because we are not health and fitness goddesses. Like so many women out there, we are figuring out what works as we go and ‘failing forward’ every step of the way. They say laughter is the best medicine and we intend to heavily self-medicate.

    We try not to take life or ourselves too seriously. You can say we take it with a grain of salt…of a bar of chocolate.

  • Janelle June 25, 2012, 8:45 pm

    Go, Caitlin, go! Wow, it would be so weird to see my face in a magazine…

    My blog is about about my journey from boxed mac and cheese to actually eating somewhat healthy and homemade food. Along the way, I discovered that I really love cooking. Right now I’m doing a series of posts on how I’m using the produce from my CSA box in my weekly meals: http://janellekibbe.blogspot.com/

    Of course, random bits (and pics) of my life in Chicago get thrown in too!

  • Jen C. June 25, 2012, 8:51 pm

    I love Fitness magazine and was so excited to see the list of the winning blogs. That is how I discovered your blog and I love it!!!! Thanks for sharing the links to the other blogs, can’t wait to check them out.

  • sandra June 25, 2012, 8:54 pm

    Yay! I picked up this magazine at the airport last week. I was so excited to see your blog win. And, it was also fun “to see a familiar face” during my travels. Thanks!

  • Leslie June 25, 2012, 8:57 pm

    My blog is And Her Little Dog Too – http://www.andherlittledogtoo.com

    I blog about my life in Philadelphia with my new husband, Charles & dog, Jackson – including my adventures in running, cooking & healthy living!

  • BroccoliHut June 25, 2012, 9:06 pm

    Great list of blogs! I see some old faves and some new ones there–thanks for sharing!
    My blog is The Broccoli Hut (www.thebroccolihut.com). It started out as a way for me to expand my cooking skills as a young vegetarian, but since I started it four years ago it’s become a way for me to share what I’ve learned on my path to becoming a dietitian. I post recipes, health news, and general nutrition advice.

  • April June 25, 2012, 9:10 pm

    I’ve tried several times to start and life somehow got in my way. So I started again and am blogging about building my life, so it’s hard for it to get in the way now :-). It’s just a start but you have to start somewhere right?

  • Ashton @ High Heels and Outdoor Thrills June 25, 2012, 9:17 pm

    Congrats! How awesome is that! I’ve been a behind the scenes reader for years… I have loved hearing all about your pregnancy, and most recently your new addition, Henry. Thanks so much for sharing and being so real.
    I actually just started my blog yesterday and haven’t posted until today. What an awesome time to see you asking for blog plugs.
    My blog, High Heels and Outdoor Thrills is where I document about my time being the girly girl that I am, even when I am doing a mostly man’s sport- hunting. I have just began my journey with bowhunting, which many women love, but I don’t know any women personally that do bowhunt. I believe in eating healthy, we’ve always eaten food my dad or husband has harvested or that we have grown, and I believe taking care of myself physically by working out is crucial to hunting down my food. So maybe it counts as a fitness/health blog too.
    Thanks for all you share! Your blog has kept me so informed!!

  • Emma June 25, 2012, 9:24 pm

    I didn’t actually click through to most of those blogs, but I have to say that I really did not like a lot of those titles and the focus on “skinny”!! That is NOT healthy living.

  • Lea June 25, 2012, 9:26 pm

    Congrats on the award!

    My blog is Greens and Coffee Beans (greensandcoffeebeans.wordpress.com) and it chronicles my life as a vegetarian, part-time hippie, fitness-obsessed, Pilates teaching, slightly awkward, college student (whew! A mouthful). I’m a bit of a goof ball and not a afraid to be myself so I hope it makes for an entertaining read!

    I like the “Plug your blog” idea! I love meeting and connecting with other health-minded people (and really anyone in general!), and welcome the opportunity to meet new people.

  • Katie @coffeeloversdilemma June 25, 2012, 9:34 pm

    Congrats cailtin!!! That is an amazing accomplishment and I am striving to make my blog as great as yours. I am a retired swimmer who is navigating her way through exercise outside of the pool. I am a registered dietitian ( well will be after Thursday :)) who is a heart transplant and cardiac dietitian and loves to cook and help people improve their lives through food!

  • Julia H. @ Going Gulia June 25, 2012, 9:43 pm

    CONGRATS!!! You deserve it. After all, HTP is my personal favorite blog, so it makes sense to me!

    Well, guess I’ll plug my blog! I blog over at Going Gulia (goinggulia.wordpress.com). I’ve read heathy living blogs for years, and finally decided to get more involved with my own. And while I’d like to have a healthy living focus to it, I’d be lying if I didn’t say that it’s more about just living. There was a time when I dealt with eating issues that kept me from really living my life, but now that I’m past that, I’m all about making the most of it. As a rising senior in college, I’m just one year away from that mystical “real world” (eesh), so I’m blogging about healthily rocking the heck out of life..plus whatever else I find blog-worthy 🙂

  • Jodie June 25, 2012, 9:48 pm

    Congratulations Caitlin!

    And thanks a bunch for the blog plug – so many new blogs to read from your post and all the comments, yay!

  • Sarah @ Carroll Creations June 25, 2012, 10:04 pm

    Congrats! I love your blog and have been reading for a while, but am just now really trying to get into my blog and connecting with others. I blog about my life – as a wife, teacher, and dog lover! I love the Lord and love to reflect on Him. I also post recipes and sewing creations occasionally. I am excited for the real passion I have for blogging to be able to come alive! (www.carrollcreations.com)

  • Meagan June 25, 2012, 10:07 pm

    My blog is http://www.thecheesefriesstandalone.com. I write about life and love and working on getting healthier. And cooking. And shopping. And two small dogs.

    Thanks for letting us shamelessly plug! 🙂

  • Gillian @ That's G June 25, 2012, 10:17 pm

    Hi! I’m Gillian from That’s G (http://www.thatsg.com/)

    My blog is a mix of a bunch of random things: my life in LA, health/fitness/running/working out, my experiences in law school, and my favorite restaurants/bars…oh yeah, and I love to travel/am obsessed with Spain, so you’ll find lots of travel tips/guides as well 🙂

  • Caitlin June 25, 2012, 10:35 pm

    I love that you did this! I’m checking out new blogs (well, new to me) right now – thank you!
    My blog is Caitlin Lives Well (http://www.caitlinliveswell.com) and I think what makes it unique is that I focus on taking responsibility for your health, every day, through every choice you make – even when those choices include frozen yogurt or beer! 🙂

  • Jessica June 25, 2012, 10:47 pm

    Iv’e been blogging for years at http://www.seejessicarun.com, but just this week started my new blog – http://www.aweighwegoagain.blogspot.com, chronicling my desire to RElose the weight I REgained… this time in a new house with a new job and a new husband!

    Congrats on being featured Caitlin! how cool is that?!

    my name’s Angela and I blog at http://sleepandrepeat.com. I just started writing about three months ago so I am definitely still working on finding my voice – and what makes my blog unique! I write about my struggle to balance my passion for healthy living, eating, and exercising with my stressful job as a corporate drone in my first year out of college.

  • Diana @ frontyardfoodie June 25, 2012, 11:29 pm

    Whoa, congrats! Of course, you totally deserve it so I shouldn’t be surprised.

    My name is Diana and I blog over at http://frontyardfoodie.com/ about motherhood, food, gardening and what not. Passionate about natural living and the frugal lifestyle. I love making my own foods, cleaners, shampoo from scratch and some might call me a little ‘granola’ since I’m into natural birth, organic food, and recycling everything down to clothing.

  • Jolene (www.everydayfoodie.ca) June 25, 2012, 11:32 pm

    My blog is cool because I love to entertain and post a lot of dinner party recaps and ideas that others could use.

    http://www.everydayfoodie.ca

  • Michelle June 25, 2012, 11:53 pm

    I don’t have a blog, I just wanted to say Congrats! I saw you in the magazine today and did a double take!

  • Jodi @ Jodi, Fat or Not June 26, 2012, 12:08 am

    Hi Caitlin’s readers!

    I blog at Jodi, fat or not – http://fatornotblog.com

    My blog is a unique space which is a mix of anti-diet and pro-fat acceptance, and where I’m still losing weight!

    My goal is to lose at least 100 pounds, I’m down 76 so far.

    I’m all about loving your body, being positive and being healthy.

  • Grace June 26, 2012, 12:25 am

    So…congrats. And thank you for allowing the plugs because I currently have about 20 tabs open to read! Exciting!

    I blog at http://yourdailygrace.com/! My name is Grace and my little blog is about, you guessed it, my daily life. Well not exactly, daily because I still have not figured out how to stop time and blog three times a day the way some of you rockstars do! Tell me your secrets please!

    Anyway I am a very recent college grad taking a gap summer of sorts to travel around visiting my family and discover some new cities I might want to move to before attempting to figure out what to do with my life. I love food so I guarantee there will always be pictures of food. I’m a pescatarian trying to go mostly dairy and gluten free as well but the pancakes I had for dinner might suggest otherwise. I also run…very slowly.

    Basically I am a 20 something sharing my adventures in loving life whether it be food, travel, running or family related!

    Thanks again Caitlin:)

  • Shelly @ EpicOrganic.net June 26, 2012, 12:38 am

    Henry is just wonderful, btw! 🙂

  • Buttercup June 26, 2012, 3:59 am

  • Kirsten @ Confessions of a Jogaholic June 26, 2012, 7:00 am

    I’ve been following your blog for years now Caitlin, & you are definitely very deserving of this award! 🙂

    I’m an Aussie blogger & blog at ‘Confessions of a Jogaholic’ http://www.confessionsofajogaholic.blogspot.com.au

    Shameless plug for my blog – http://fedwell.blogspot.com
    I write about food, the stories of the people it is eaten with and maybe a recipe or two. I find that most of my memorable experiences are shared over a meal or even a snack and my earlies memories also overlap with food! Stop by, say hello and share. Thanks – Sharon

  • Sara @my less serious life June 26, 2012, 8:17 am

  • Michelle McIsaac June 26, 2012, 9:03 am

    Caitlin, I have been following your blog for over a year now and you have even been the inspiration for some of the YOGURT MESSes I throw together in the mornings!! I actually have a link to your website under “favorite blogs” and if you ever wanted to do a guest post, I would be more than happy to share it for you!

    Feel free to click the “About” button on my website to learn a little more about me and why I choose to blog. My ultimate goal is to have nutrition education added to our high school curriculum, but, like you, I also simply want to help inspire the world to live a happier, healthier life.

    Check it out at gloriouseats.com, and you can bet I’ll be staying tuned on how that handsome H-Dawg is doing!:P

  • Tamika Davis June 26, 2012, 9:36 am

    Congratulations on your Fitness Magazine feature. It is certainly well-deserved. Here’s my plug:

    Holistic Spark started as a healthy living blog from an African American perspective. The blog details my quest to maintain a 40 lb weight loss, success/failures in the kitchen, and now my pregnancy (I’m 24 weeks along!).

    Thank you for providing the opportunity to promote our blogs.

  • Leah June 26, 2012, 10:59 am

    Congrats on the Fitness Magazine feature! How awesome!

    At the moment I blog at http://www.chandeleah.com/blog about all things fitness, health, travel – anything that takes my fancy really! It’s a bit of a jumble but I hope to streamline it into more of a healthy living blog soon.

    I’m a New Zealander living in London (but just spent the last year living in Canada) so I love making new friends all around the world – come say hi!

    Thanks again for giving us the chance to plug our blogs hehe!

  • Tori @ Get a Word in Veg Wise June 26, 2012, 11:09 am

    I know I’m late on the congrats but way to go!

    So about my blog…

    Unlike a lot of the blogs I follow (and love), I don’t think I fall in to any specific “category”. I’m not a personal trainer (although I’m a fitness enthusiast). I don’t document my everyday life (i.e. no pics of food 3 times per day, etc.).

    So what do I blog about? As a registered dietitian (RD) who works in pediatrics, I write about my true passion in life, which is NUTRITION! Sometimes I talk about experiences I’ve had with my kiddos at work, and sometimes I talk about how wine has some health benefits which makes me feel better about going out. I encourage anyone who loves nutrition (or is just curious) to stop by the ol blog, because I LOVE sharing (and receiving) more food and nutrition info from others 🙂

  • Sara @ Running In Pink June 26, 2012, 11:17 am

    Congrats on the award!!
    So many of my faovorite bloggers on that list but I always love finding new blogs to read – my quest for insperation is endless.
    My blog is http://runninginpink.com/ – I write mostly about running, but also finding a healthy balance between life, food and fitness. One of my favorite sayings in regards to healthy living is “never buy bigger pants”.

    • Amber June 28, 2012, 6:34 am

      I can’t wait to check out your blog. I’ve recently lost about 20lbs for the exact reason your tag line suggests. I was never really that overweight, however my pants wern’t fitting anymore and as I tell people when they ask why?!? I say well I’m 29 and not pregnant there is not good reason for me to out grow my pants.

  • Britt @ BalancedBritt June 26, 2012, 11:56 am

    YAY! So happy you made it in! I will need to go get a copy.

    My blog is balancedbritt.blogspot.com

    It is an everyday life/pregnancy/honesty at it’s best kind of blog. I love reading birth stories and tracking others pregnancies so now that it is my turn to be growing the bump, I figured I would give back by adding more info to the pile.

    I am documenting my pregnancy and ::fingers crossed:: hopefully my natural birth in November. Thanks to you Caitlin, I now know about the Bradley Method and am loving everything I am reading.

  • Claire Zulkey June 26, 2012, 1:18 pm

    Zulkey.com, because I’ve been running that noise since before the word “blog” even existed. And sometimes it’s actually kind of funny!

    (And also, I am proud of the fact that I started it for free and then somebody [NPR] started paying me to keep it up!)

  • Jess @ Just Call Me Janks June 26, 2012, 1:27 pm

    When I work hard, I sweat, and I used to be embarrassed of it. Because girls sweating is gross, right? Well, No. I am proud to be a hard workin’ sweaty girl!

    I had no idea there were awards! I would have voted for some of my favorites.

    My blog is 110 Pounds and Counting about how I lost over 100 pounds and kept it off for almost 4 years now.

    Congrats Caitlin! I super love your blog, and am pleased that you’re allowing us to pimp our blogs out on yours 🙂

    Mine’s a new work-in-progress. One Year To Thirty is basically me doing 30 things before I turn 30 in order to change my life. I just turned 29 on Sunday, and apparently I’m totally freaking out about the next milestone. 🙂 Check it out at http://oneyeartothirty.wordpress.com !

  • Jenn June 26, 2012, 5:42 pm

    Congratulations 🙂

    My blog is http://foodintent.com I blog about my weight loss journey & the ups and downs of it. I’m really just starting to get serious about losing the weight (even though I’ve been battling it for the past 6 years). It’s a place where I blog about trying to lose weight while having a good time and enjoying [food] and other things life has to offer!

  • Sarah June 26, 2012, 8:37 pm

    Mine came today – it was exciting – congrats!

  • Christina June 26, 2012, 9:17 pm

  • luv what you do June 26, 2012, 9:31 pm

    CONGRATS!!!
    My mailman is so slow that I havne’t received this month’s Fitness yet, but I was excited to see the magazine recognizing all the amazing healthy lifestyle bloggers our there who share their ideas, struggles, achievments, thoughts, and photos every day! It’s why I started blogging in the first place!

  • Jennifer June 27, 2012, 7:27 am

    This is great! I love finding new blogs to follow 🙂 I write at http://www.triathletsgarden.wordpress.com about my adventures in gardening, (mostly) healthy cooking, and endurance sport, particular triathlon. I’m particularly passionate about getting women and girls involved in what can be an intimidating sport to start with!

  • Jessi @ doctorate housewife June 27, 2012, 10:53 am

    My name is Jessi and I blog over at doctoratehousewife.com The tagline is “What my degree in IPE didn’t teach me about baking, DIY, fitness, and life.” Basically it’s a little of all those things. =)

    Congrats Caitlin!!

  • Chantal June 27, 2012, 12:25 pm

    Congrats Caitlin!

    I recently started my blog (http://pauselesslyactive.wordpress.com) to give my poor memory some help remembering my adventures. It’s mostly food, some wine and beer, travels (random work trip to China? ok!), a few races (first triathlon in Sept!), and all the things I do with my buddies in the limited amount of time I’m not in the chem lab (life of a grad student).

  • Sarah June 27, 2012, 1:18 pm

    Hey friends (and hooray, Caitlin)!

    I’ve been blogging at Inspiration-Driven Life for almost a year and what a journey it has been! It’s a little bit faith, a little bit community, a little bit friendship & marriage, a little bit food. Would love to have you visit! 🙂

    I am blogging my way to healthy, one bite at a time!! I am a mother, a wife, an employee, really nothing unique, just trying to find my own way!

  • Tara June 28, 2012, 11:51 pm

    I used my blog for my recent one-month trip to Europe. Now that I am home I am taking http://www.taratripp.com through a transition to healthy recipes, crafting, and training.

  • ChattyNatty June 29, 2012, 10:31 am

    imchattynatty.blogspot.com
    All about running, reading and real life! I’m about neck in neck with running posts and reading posts, and the real life portion is sprinkled in for I’m not a professional writer, but instead a mom of two, a part time working woman, and a total extrovert so another way to connect with people and be ChattyNatty.

  • Ellie June 30, 2012, 8:33 pm

    My name is Ellie, I am an 18-year-old journalism student, hoping to get noticed for my writing along the way by posting to my blog daily.

    On http://elliephantintheroom.wordpress.com/ I tend to write about my opinions on a variety of issues like things I’ve seen during my day, the occasional rant/gossip, controversial current affairs and the elephant in the room.

    I’m struggling to reach much of an audience, so I’d really appreciate it if anyone were to have a read and give me any feedback.

  • Kaitlyn @ Chocolate Running Shoes July 4, 2012, 11:31 am

    Congrats on the blogging award, Caitlin!

    You can find my blog here: http://www.chocolaterunningshoes.com

    It’s still a baby blog, but I’m really enjoying blogging! I use it as a space to blog about a big passion of mine…FITNESS! and food, too 🙂

  • Sam @ Better With Sprinkles July 4, 2012, 11:55 am

    Little late to the party, but I’ll throw mine in anyways!

    I just started my blog yesterday, I’d love some people to come check it out! I’m still finding my voice, but I’m focusing on fitness, food, recipes, eating disorder recovery, the importance of sprinkles on desserts…whatever is on my mind that day!

    Would love to meet some people!

  • Jen @ keepitsimplefoods July 14, 2012, 6:08 pm

    Wow, I’ve been out of the look and am just catching up! Crazy summer! Anyhoo- I write a vegetarian, healthy (mostly) food blog called Keep It Simple Foods. I’m also a big fan of Oh She Glows, Breathe Magazine online, How Sweet It Is, and Lauren’s Latest.

    There are so many great blogs out there, including HTP! xoxo
