WLF Video Blogs by WLF users.

I've thought about it, and it's not exactly what you're looking for, but would you consider having a voice-only video (voice and pictures in the background, say of the food I make)? I'd love to contribute the kinds of things I'm doing (calorie counting and how it's working, recipes, that sort of thing) but I don't particularly want to attach my face to all of this. I could say do a montage of "how I make low calorie pizza" showing the ingredients, the calorie counting, putting it all together, and the result. I quite like the idea of sharing my recipes more, as my current way of sharing them can be a little disjointed.
 
And what about favouriting useful videos? I don't particularly like the "hey fatty" in this one, but it's stickied here and it's what pushed me to go out and buy a digital scale:
 
A suggestion...
Set up a photobucket account. Have people upload videos there to be reviewed. If you approve, then you can move the video to YouTube? Or set up a separate YouTube account with that same idea. It might be better than changing the password every time. You wouldn't need to remember the new passwords. Lol

"Plaudite, amici, comedia finita est."
 
That's another good idea. There are also apparently ways to send files to people, or download files off the internet (I see this on youtube when there's a request to mirror videos in the kind of videos I watch, but I'm not sure how it's done). I use a service called keepvid when I want to download a video off youtube (to watch later or to show someone somewhere where I won't have internet), which might also be of use.

That sounds awesome :D
 
Yeah, when you upload a video to a site like photobucket or something you can get a sharing URL and stuff so I can have a look at it before it goes on the YouTube account. Don't want to have to change the password a ton so maybe people could send me their videos and then I'll put them up on youtube? I don't know :/

I have mega toothache today so going to emergency dentist so will post my video up later!
 
GET INVOLVED!!
Love your vid. Look forward to your 'gaining weight after losing weight' vid.
Story of my life.
 
What's yours gonna be on Carrie? I sound like I have a sock in my mouth because of my toothache but i'll do my video this evening :D
 
Aw poor you but yesss make it tonight. EXCITED.
I dunno what to do my video on. I'll have a thinky.
 
These are the kinds of things I'd like to see videos on (and I may well make some myself, photo montage with voice rather than video style):

* What weight loss program you're using, why, how it works, and what you like about it
* Previous weight loss attempts and why they did or didn't work
* Ways to keep yourself motivated
* Recipes and food ideas
* Ideas on exercise (on technique/ what's working for you/ keeping yourself motivated with that)
* Difficulties with dieting and life (e.g. eating out, going on holiday, unsupportive family), and how you cope with that
 
Those are all great ideas :D
I've done mine--The sound quality isn't great so going to look into using an actual mic rather than my built in one. Still getting the hang of it! Will post it up now.

Carrie, when will you do yours, lady?!
 
It's a good video, very brave of you to talk about this kind of stuff. There's a lot of distortion in the sound- are there any techies in the house who can advise on how to fix that?
 
I now have my camera working again, obviously. I have some idea of what I want to talk about- calorie counting, being a failed dieter, choices of food, low cal recipes, etc- but what do you (and anyone else who cares to answer this) think would be most value of me to talk about? (And what kind of photo montage would be best? At the moment I only really have photos of food, and some of them didn't survive in original form- and I'd need that quality, not what I upload here- when my old SD card went down)
 
If this is still going on, you'll hopefully be pleased to know that I've been messing around with my camera to see if I can get the video/ voice record function to work. Not quite sure how to illustrate a no-face video yet, but I don't really want my name, voice, and face attached in a public sphere.
 
Awesome! I'm not sure how to do it without your face being in it--Do some research! Want to see your vids :D Yeah, it's still going on. I'm recording another one over the weekend. Think Carrie is supposed to be doing one as well. Anyone else interested?
 
Should have a video from the beautiful (and newly skinny!!) Miss Rox at some point :D Sent her details of the channel so she's gonna upload it :)
 
I'm currently taking pictures of food. A demonstration of "this is what 50 calories looks like" (which may or may not reinforce the idea that calorie counting is all about carrot sticks- the peanuts are a fucking tiny pile!)

Edit to add: is this a completely depressing picture? (this is "as close to 50g as I could get weighing to the nearest gram and not chopping up shit where I could help it/ where chopping it meant I had to eat it")

Watching Rox's video now, great so far :)

Edit to add: It's really great, thank you. Unfortunately, she said a lot of what I was thinking about saying about calorie counting and how well it works. Hmm... have to rethink (not so impressive coming from me, given I'm not there and I don't have so much to lose)

I did my first vlog today. I ramble a lot and my 3 year old pops in for a second. lol The link to it is in my public profile. I plan on trying to do one every week. Hopefully, the quality gets better! lol
