Well, girlfriend SOMMER POQUETTE shares her journey on the road to fitness with us both here and on our BlogTalkRadio show today at 2pm ET.
Wardrobe Malfunction: I am Fat and Nothing Fits
Have you ever had to lie down on your bed to button your jeans? OR jump up and down and when they finally buttoned you could not breath?

It’s a Cinch—Sort of | Diet Review from the Faux Diet Queen
February 3, 2012 – 9:41 am
From shoe sales to secrets, we girlfriends love to share with each other. And one of the things we definitely love sharing is any secret to being healthy and fit. Thankfully we have the Faux Diet Queen to share her girlfriend advice on getting fit and losing weight.
The Faux Diet Queen (or as we affectionately call her, FDQ) has agreed to share her latest (and last) weight loss journey with us as a regular feature at Girlfriendology. We hope you’ll join us to cheer her on, nudge her back on track when she strays, and generally giggle along.
I look at each new diet as an adventure. Like Ponce de Leon, I am convinced that each plan, each regimen, each approach will bring me one step closer to being thin and looking younger. Unlike good ol’ Ponce, I’ll settle for shedding some unwanted poundage and looking my age.
So how happy was I when Read More »

Girlfriend Advice: Let’s Ask for What We Want, Let’s Simplify Things
January 18, 2012 – 9:14 am
Let’s make it easier to be happier – deal, girlfriend? or a lesson from my dog. 
Sometimes life is simple. My dog shows me this everyday. He barks at the door, that means he wants out. If I come a little too close, he rolls over to show me his belly for a little loving belly scratch. And, when he’s hungry, I’ll find him in the kitchen staring (STARING!) at his food bowl. He’s pretty obvious about what would make him happy. And I, as a loving ‘mom,’ enjoy the clear (and sometimes funny) communication.
But we humans tend to complicate things. We say things we don’t actually mean and hope our friends and family will KNOW what we MEANT. We sometimes do things that don’t really represent how we things or feel – like going for months without speaking to each other and trusting, hoping our friends know that they’re still important in our life. We ‘get busy’ and don’t respond to an email, or we concentrate on work and not on the people who make it so fun to ‘not work.’
Here’s some girlfriend advice on Read More »

Should You Work with Your Girlfriends? | Pros and Cons from Amanda DiSilvestro
January 17, 2012 – 8:56 am
Have you ever thought about working with your girlfriends? At Girlfriendology, we know that working with our BFFs can be wonderful!
But we also know that working with friends can have pitfalls. Guest blogger Amanda DiSilvestro share her thoughts on the benefits (and the risks) of working with your friends.
I have to admit, the minute a position opens at my company all of my girlfriends are running through my head. If I know a friend who could work in that position, I would be on the phone with them right away asking them to apply for the job. Why? Because a job at my company is a great opportunity and I want the best for my friend. While I tell myself this is the absolute reason I would make such a fuss over an open position, I cannot help but admit it: A little part of me just wants to work with my friends.
After all, wouldn’t work be so much more fun if Read More »

Six Years of Female Friendship | Girlfriends Rule!
January 16, 2012 – 11:47 pm
We all have a story. And most times they involve our friends, our wonderful, dearly loved girlfriends!
The story of Girlfriendology began with a girlfriend story (as, of course, it should!). Two girlfriends, Dana and Allison, were dealing with cancer. I was overwhelmed with a need to be around my female friends – not just Dana and Allison, but all my friends. I wanted to spend time with my girlfriends to learn how to be a better friend to Dana and Allison. I wanted to be near the wonderful women in my life to give me strength and knowledge.
So, I created Girlfriendology as a ‘love letter’ to my friends.
That was six years (1/20/06), 1600+ blog posts, 275+ interviews with inspiring women (podcasts and BlogTalkRadio shows), 25+ blogger/social media conferences, a TV commercial and national newspaper ad feature, dozens of advertisers and sponsors (most recently our new sponsor Biz Stain Fighter signed on for our Read More »
