I found this fascinating article today, connecting Twitter to weight loss of all things:

According to eMarketer, by the end of 2009 there will be 18 million adults in the United States who use Twitter. Most of these 18 million Americans want to lose weight. The obese Americans want to drop into the overweight class. The overweight Americans want to drop to a normal weight. And the normal weight Americans want six-packs. But how can these avid Tweeters lose weight when they are so busy tweeting? Trying to tweet and lose weight at the same time is like trying to pat your head and rub your stomach at the same time. It’s impossible. Wrong!

twitip.com, 10 Ways To Use Twitter For Weight Loss, Oct 2009

You should read the whole article. Amazing how social media can help us get informed and get support from others in achieving our goals. I’ve also started following Prevention Magazine and Women’s Health via Twitter to get tips on achieving my wellness goals.
