Jack B. traineo Fanatic Posts: 105 Jack B. I lead a very busy life, so doing a diet and making time to work out is actually pretty difficult for me. I work for a school system fixing computers during the day, and work in youth ministry during the nighttime. It keeps me going. But it's harder to stay fit and healthy when you're so busy and convenience takes precedence over health. I'm working to change that. Hopefully, this will help.	# Posted: 8 Mar 2007 14:56 An amazing story, if you ask me.
Jennie W Fitness Guru Posts: 477 Jennie W I am 29 years old and have grown passionate about fitness and health! Overall, I have lost and kept off a little over 40 pounds, and I have about 20 or so more that I would like to take off. This last year has been tough and distracting in many ways, and I am back to work now! I am revisiting Traineo, because this site and the people here were instrumental in helping me lose my original 40 pounds so I am back! I regret that because of time constraints I won't be able to be AS active in the forums as I used to, but I will certainly try to stay in there and reconnect with old friend as well as make new ones. My fitness goals remain the same as before as I haven't achieved them yet: *GOAL 1 = 140 lbs Target Date = 7/31/08 Date Met = TBD CURRENT FITNESS GOALS: Run a 5K, improve flexibility enough to do the splits, be able to do 50 pushups in a row, be able to do a pull-up, learn to do a hand stand and then hand stand pushups. :)	# Posted: 8 Mar 2007 17:35 That is a cool story. I saw a TV thing on this guy a few months ago, and it was very interesting. I am glad to see he is pressing on toward his goal. That is great!
Courtney Elizabeth traineo Newbie Posts: 6 Courtney Elizabeth Graduate student in Southern California...trying to look great for the summer... 26 lbs to go!	# Posted: 13 Mar 2007 22:48 wow. That is really powerful. It makes me feel if he can do it, I can do it.
Matt Hall traineo Fanatic Posts: 109 Matt Hall I am a dad of 2 young kids. (First excuse for my current weight) I currently practice as a physical therapist and try to teach my patients to stay as fit as possible. I am starting this to help my brother but think this website would also be good for my patients. So I am doing it myself so I can tell others about how it works. I am also taking a health promotion course and have decided to get back into the shape I was in 4 years ago before the kids came.	# Posted: 14 Mar 2007 03:45 You would actually be suprised how many people in the United states weigh over 800 pounds.
Barbara Laff traineo Newbie Posts: 12 Barbara Laff I am a teacher of Middle Eastern Dance, and this year I grew tired of "waiting" to have time to lose weight, to look good, to be healthy. I have lost some pounds already, so I am on my way to achieving my goal.	# Posted: 15 Mar 2007 17:42 - Edited by: babslaff Quoting: mathall You would actually be suprised how many people in the United states weigh over 800 pounds. I have been to WalMart. No, no I would not be surprised. :P Edited to add: And not wanting to be one of them is the reason I'm here now. I could easily see myself on that path, given the right situations. I can only imagine how much courage it took this man to ask for help. It's very inspiring to me, in a "if he can do it, so can I!" kind of way.
Christopher B traineo Fanatic Posts: 87 Christopher B I'm another desk jockey trying to stay fit enough to enjoy life. My goal is to stay healthy enough that I can tour with my wife.	# Posted: 16 Mar 2007 16:07 I really have the hardest time understanding how weight like that happens. What goes through the minds of the people who are doing the feeding?
