BWP’s Year in Review: The Best Blog Posts of 2010


I can’t believe that in only a few days we’ll be celebrating the arrival of 2011! The past 12 months have been quite eventful for BWP. Not only did Philadelphia magazine launch BeWellPhilly.com this year, but we also turned out some great content. I can’t wait to get started on next year’s blog, but before we start moving ahead, let’s take a moment to look back on all that has happened. Here are 10 of my favorite, and most popular, blog posts from 2010. I had fun putting this together, so I hope you enjoy it. Happy reading!

We crowned our first-ever Be Well Philly Office Challenge winner—and they lost more than 160 pounds in 8 weeks!

Our online guru, Tim Haas, lost 71 pounds in six months by eating primal. And the guy is still skinny and so much happier than he was at the start of last year.  Truly an amazing story.

I chatted to Philly’s world-famous penis enlargement doc. (Yes, I said “penis enlargement,” and it’s happening right here in Bala Cynwyd.)

We got some of Philly’s fittest people to strip down, pose naked, and share their diet and fitness tips. This wasn’t easy to do—even the Eagles’ lingerie football league turned us down!—but the beautiful photos made the seemingly never-ending phone calls to reassure everyone it would be a classy shoot well worth it.

Local nutritionists shared the Philly fat traps they crave — and how to eat them without gaining weight!

I ran the Philly Half Marathon! And Broad Street! And I was a total running-phobe at the start of 2010.

We looked into Reebok’s new EasyTone Apparel to see if it really works. Make sure to read this before you plunk down your hard-earned cash.

I talked to a local bed bug expert about the impending infestation. He told us how to keep the pests out of our beds for good.

Our first Be Well Philly supplement arrived, complete with recipes from the Eagles and Phillies!
