Why Blog?

There are so many people that are blogging, you begin to wonder, why do so many people do it?  I assume there are many reasons.  Is the reason most people start blogging the same reason they are still blogging?

I originally started blogging on my family history blogs,  My Mother's Family History and The Plummer Gang Revisited.  I spent lots of time last year researching my family history.  I then decided to set up blogs for each side of my family.  I found that I really enjoyed blogging.  The other bloggers out there are so fantastic.  I have found bloggers that I would love to spend time with in real life.  I hope to get the chance to meet them someday.  There are so many wonderful people in the blogging world.

So in February of this year I decided to start another blog.  This blog was started to help me lose weight.  I have always been one of those people that if I had to weigh in front of people I would be very careful of what I ate so that I would do really good when I weighed in.  I thought maybe just having people on my blog to answer to I could do it.  I have been doing very well with this.  I would like to lose a few more pounds and then maintain the weight loss forever.  Weekly weigh ins have been very motivating for me.  
I take a picture of the number on the scale and post it each week.

I have decided to expand my blog to be more of a lifestyle blog and I have found a huge interest in growing my blog and trying to monetize it.  I would like to stay at home and make money blogging.  I have spent lots of time researching how all the social media works.  I am trying to build my social media sources and I have started writing about that.  I find this area very interesting and I may just have to keep researching and posting about it.  

Weight loss will always be a part of my blog!  My blog has helped me lose weight and change how I eat.  I have become more focused on eating Paleo/Primal/Low Carb.  

I love reading blogs!  Okay bloggers, tell me your story.  Why did you start blogging and have your reasons for blogging changed over time?
