I mentioned once before that “Lbs.” is up for a Spirit Award. The awards air this coming Saturday, February 26th, at 9pm CST on IFC. I won’t be able to watch it that night, but will most likely be taping it. Let’s all keep our fingers crossed for them.
If you follow me on Twitter, you may have already seen my next bit of news. I get Google alerts for “Lbs.” and received one a couple of days ago for an interview with Matthew Bonifacio. I flagged it for follow up later to add here on my [ ... ]

Imagine my excitement to open up my mailbox today to discover this:

Anyone who has been following my blog for any length of time knows that I’m a huge supporter of the movie, “Lbs.,” and have done my best to promote it as much as I can on here.
Supposedly a DVD is still in the works with lots of extra features that should be released within the next few weeks. (YAY…trying not to be impatient. )
I also learned today via Facebook that “Lbs.” has been nominated for a Spirit Award (recognizing independent films). The award they’ve been nominated for is the John Cassavetes Award. To see [ ... ]

From the subject heading, any of you who have been following my blog for a while know how ecstatic I was to hear today that “Lbs.” will be coming to DVD.
They announced today that it should be releasing in less than two months, in time for Christmas. Here is what they said:
Finally!!!!! “Lbs.” THE DVD, is less than 2 months away. It will have DELETED SCENES including the infamous “PRISON SCENE”, CAST INTERVIEWS, DIRECTOR COMMENTARY, BEHIND THE SCENES FOOTAGE, REHEARSALS, and AUDIO RECORDINGS FROM THE FIRST STAGED READING OVER 10 YEARS AGO!

As most all of you know, one of my biggest changes lately has been the recent (as of the 4th of October) shift in my work hours. I went from working from about 4pm until midnight M-F to 1pm-9pm on Mondays and 12pm-8pm the rest of the week.
It may not seem like that big of a change, but it has made a world of difference. Even though there are many nights that I still do the same ol’ same ol’ of heading straight home and vegging, it has had a huge effect on my attitude and how I feel. There [ ... ]

Hi again, guys! As you all know, I dearly love movies and books and all other such things. You’ve also probably figured out that I tend to get really excited about things that I enjoy – even a bit giddy. I have also over the years collected quote upon quote upon quote – the location of which I’m not exactly sure of. They’re scattered in journals, notebooks, post-its, and the like from my bedroom to the living room to the kitchen to my storage unit.
For a while I’ve been wanting a central location for such things that I love, because [ ... ]

Hi everyone! I have a “Lbs.” update! I know you all have been in withdrawal!
I personally think this is a fun one, though.
When I saw the theatrical version of the film when I was in DC at the beginning of May, the song that was playing over the credits caught my attention. I really liked what I had heard of it (which actually wasn’t much since they muted it to start the Q&A – not that I’m complaining or anything).
I’ve been trying to find out what the song was (all I could remember hearing was the [ ... ]

Hi all! Today, I thought I would combine two of my favorite things: weight loss and “Lbs.” the movie. You have to admit that they kind of go together.
So today was weigh-in day, and I’m thoroughly ecstatic. For the first time in months (since November, actually) I am below the 250 mark!! WHOOHOOO!! I’m so excited. I weighed in today at 248.5 for a loss of 3.2 lbs. I am back down 21.3 lbs since I recommitted myself to plan, and am down a total of 94.4 lbs altogether.
I’m back in the swing of things! I deserved this loss, because [ ... ]

We all know that losing weight can be really difficult. Especially if you have a food addiction or are a chronic overeater. Over the past few months, I’ve learned that it’s even harder to do it again.
I’ve explained before that I’ve been overweight since about the 3rd grade. I still don’t know what the turning point was, where I went from a skinny child running around in tube tops to being so overweight that the kids in my class called me a “beach ball.” But there was one, and regardless of what brought it on, that’s what happened to me.
