I am pleased to announce that we've just published the official Calorie Count blog, which we will use to provide you with daily updates on dieting news, tasty recipes, member success stories, and many other inspirational and educational topics. We invite you to join our daily conversations and look forward to reading your comments, hearing your views, and getting to know you.

Some of the blog posts will be shared with you in this newsletter, but if you'd like to receive more frequent updates, you can subscribe to our RSS feed or follow us on Twitter.

For now, most posts will come from Mary, Erik, and I, but we would also like to invite additional guest bloggers to join us in this effort. If you share our interest and passion for writing about nutrition, exercise, and health, send us a quick email and tell us more about yourself.

Finally, let me also ask you to suggest some of your fellow members who you think we should approach and ask to join our blog. Who are our most vocal and supportive community leaders, and who do you think should be sharing their thoughts, views, and experiences with the rest of us?
