Quick Giveaway: Powerhouse Weight Loss Game

Powerhouse Performance Coaching have offered a free game (worth $19.99).

Hit the Deck is a simple game that uses a timer and cards: "Set the timer, draw your first card, and do as many repetitions as you can. When the timer beeps, draw your next card."

The length of your workout will be determined by how many cards you perform and the duration you set on the programmable interval timer. If you are short on time, keep it quick and only choose a few cards. If you've got more time, select more cards and even repeat the cycle over as many times as you can take it!

Simple, but actually looks quite fun.

Site Outages...

Apologies for some recent outages. Unfortunately the software that Diet Blog runs on creates really big files for the user pictures (that appear next to comments). This rapidly chewed up my bandwidth allowance and the site went down. I've had to switch back to using Gravatar for commenter pictures (although your uploaded picture still displays on your profile page).

Sorry about this. Hopefully I'll be able to come up with a better solution.

LA Weight Loss Closings

This is just a short post to address the five or so people that email us every week about LA Weight Loss closing down and not being able to get a refund.

We aren't affiliated with LA Weight Loss and we don't have any contact information for them. We are sorry that you have been a victim in whatever is going on with the company. Please contact the proper governmental agency if you cannot deal directly with the company. Unfortunately, Diet-Blog is unable to help you.

Kind Regards,

The Diet-Blog Team
