(For once this is Not About Me!)
Posts
I have two intense books I'm completing, and I've been increasingly unable
to put the effort into blogging that I have done for years...

All About Me
Bio
- Frances Kuffel
- Brooklyn, New York, United States
- I'm the author of PASSING FOR THIN: LOSING HALF MY WEIGHT AND FINDING MY SELF. My new book, ANGRY FAT GIRLS: 5 WOMEN, 500 POUNDS, AND A YEAR OF LOSING IT...AGAIN published by Berkley in 2010 and a must read for anyone contemplating what s/he needs to know in order to lose weight and keep it off. I'm committing fiction as I work on a new book, SEX AND THE PITY, which will cover a year of dating as I lose weight and navigate the dudes, dorks and dumbasses of the world.
Disclaimer
These are personal favorites, not paid advertisements. I haven't seen all of the following on other fat-centric blogs and sites.
Go Shopping!
- eShakti is THE most important online shopping site for plus-sized women. You can customize clothing for neckline, sleeves and length, or you can send your measurements and have clothing tailored to your body. If it's been a while since you've had a truly form-fitting piece of clothing, or if you don't understand how clothes should fit, this is an essential resource. The prices are reasonable and the workmanship impeccable.
- Simply Be is an English-owned company although they ship from the U.S. If I was only able to wear Joe Brown clothes, I'd die a happy camper.
- Mod Cloth has, simply, gorgeous clothes. If you're hesitating over something, buy it then -- items sell out quickly.
- Torrid -- REAL bargain in clearance that have become my favorite clothes
- Marisota -- their clothes can also be found at www.simplybe.com/marisota for American shipping, but the line is extended at the UK site.
- J. Jill -- a little funky, always comfortable
- Spiegel -- often overlooked but some tender beauties
- Cold Water Creek -- classics all the way
- Alloy -- plus junior sizes that will work beautifully witha sweater or actually have SLEEVES!
- Victorian Trading Company -- the name pretty much says it all but if you really need to dress up, this is the place. Buy large.
- Alight -- fab clothes to make you feel 16 years old. The best & most inexpensive black shruggie around this summer.
- Monroe and Main -- these are young - middle-age professional and casual clothes that run to size 24
- Southwest Indian Foundation -- some gorgeous clothes, over-the-moon jewelry & a really worthy cause
- Making It Big (MiB Collection) to size 48W - & models who ARE the parts they play
- Ashro -- calls itself "Afro-centric," but has some lovely fancy clothes and one or two Midtown lunch outfits
- Blouse House -- blouses & more
- Serengeti - a healthy mix of casual, business & dress-up clothes
- Real Women Want - an eBay store that gathers plu-sizes frmo all over & has some stunners
- Soft Surroundings has some delicious, slightly tipped clothes to 3 X
- Casual Living -- some pleasant, casual surpises
- FairyFairyLand -- GREAT funky tops! Imported from Asia so be sure to buy large
- Territory Ahead -- some good finds in among the clothes that top out at size 16 -- especially shirts
- The Pyramid Collection -- gothic & fantasy clothes that can be worn in Reality & large sizes at no extra cost
- Catalog Favorites -- not my favorite but there's a swingjacket there I want
- Complete Outfits -- extended sizes; I've bought Power Clothes here
- Midnight Velvet -- not always but often enought that I consult it when looking for something great, whether it's formal, business or good casual
- Brownstone Studio -- when I need a Power Suit
- NorthStyle -- like Monterey Bay, lovely casuals with a touch of the West
- Montery Bay -- nice casuals with a touch of camp
- K. Jordan -- some great finds, especially in suits

This will likely surprise you, but I really enjoy reading this blog http://www.silentsprings.com/blog/, especially his blog entries about health and the environment. I can't and don't personally subscribe to all his theories, but he is well-educated and well-spoken and I admire his devotion to making life better for everyone. (I am also acquainted with he and his wife, but would likely read their blog regardless.) Start with "About Us", read some blog entries and then explore the site and see if you like what you see. :)
Lynn at escapefromobesity.net is fantastic!
Ragan at Dances with Fat is hands down my favorite blogger.
I love Regan, too, as well as The Fat Nutritionist! www.fatnutritionist.com
