Anyone had any success with blogging?

So last year I tried to loose weight and did really well for about 3 months (lost about 7kg through eating better and walking 4 times a week) and then just fall back in to old habits.
This year I was thinking about blogging my journey on YouTube in an attempt to keep me motivated and on track. Anyone had any success this way?

Well, yes it would. Saddly I could not find much information about how many calories you burn while blogging. I did find that a typical tweet burns 1.03 calories. You could determine how many "tweets" long your blog entry is and get a rough idea at least.

Good to know that I'm burning calories while watching my favorite shows! LOL
OP I have found blogging to be a good way for me to get my thoughts and feelings out about weight loss as well as being a good way to have a record of what I'm doing right or wrong.0
