Hundred Day Head Start Diet, fitness, exercise, and weight loss


Merry Christmas! Now take a lap…

12.26.2009 · Posted in Exercise

Way back when, I chose the hundreddayheadstart.com domain with the thought that if I could successfully document my weight loss and fitness journey, I might be able to build a brand and community around the idea of starting personal improvements – health, fitness, career, finances, etc – now, rather than waiting for an artificial deadline like New Years Day. I kicked the site off on September 23 of whatever year it was, exactly 100 days before New Years – the hundred day head start on all the people waiting until New Years Day to start their diets.

Yeah, it didn’t go anywhere. Branding and community-building aren’t my strength, although I still think my IDEA is brilliant. ;-)

One guy that is great when it comes to execution on big ideas is Ted Murphy of Izea. I won’t go into the whole background of Izea because that isn’t the point of this post, except to say when I was a more active blogger I utilized the Izea platforms and made a great side income. Highly recommended, and great people to work with.

Ted just posted this video on his blog and facebook status that was appropriate to the idea behind this blog, so I’m re-posting it here.

    Speaking from personal experience, I feel your quite right about this - and I certainly second your "thoughts".

    Keep with the 100 day head start. This is a brilliant idea. It can take years for an idea to take off, but when it does...WATCH OUT!!!
  • Well i think its probably the best place for skitting. I must go for that place. This place is looking ideal for me. Thanks for sharing such a nice post.
  • Your story is pretty much similiar to mine, and such stories inspired me to create a site dedicated to people, who set similiar goals and are wiling to document it. I hope I will be able to launch it in March and would like to invite you once it's out.

  • the name of the article is so amusing :) and the rest of the article is well done too
  • Brilliant! Gives an idea to follow fitness plan with some kind of a documentary. There is nothing that beats being fit and healthy. Its addictive.
  • This is a really good program. You are absolutely right, brilliant idea. Too bad it didn't go anywhere like you hoped it would. But I think you don't have to quit just yet. You were on to something better, why stop? Thanks for sharing.
  • It is really a good idea. I think it will be a good cash hunter. I am not a regular blogger but thinking to start it on regular basis.
  • Nice! I am really expecting to find this kind of blog, I am in favor of the author's polarization. I will continue to monitor the site, hoping to see something more!
  • Wow, this is brilliant! Thanks for sharing :) I've never heard of Izea, I'll go check them out.
