Tania Qoura traineo Fanatic Posts: 81 Tania Qoura I've already come a long way so far - I started off my lifestyle change weighing 276lbs when I was 18 years old, barely exercised, and was just generally very lethargic and lacking in energy. Now I'm nearly half that weight, exercise at least once a day, and have never felt so good or had so much energy! Now I just want to lose the last 25lbs or so and find fun healthy ways to add to my exercise routines and maintain my new lower weight!	# Posted: 29 May 2007 15:35 I've been struggling badly with motivation all this year. I've been binge-eating, watching my weight slowly creep up and up and up and up... and I've finally in the last few days managed to pull my head out and actually get myself straight. I'm on day three of my new, improved self, and have been utterly rigid thus far. The motivation? If I can lose 17lbs by 20th June, my new boyfriend is going to buy me a half-dozen roses!!! Is he cool, or what?
Sue O Fitness Guru Posts: 593 Sue O Hello everyone. I'm a 58 year old librarian living in the Ozarks. I am 30 pounds down with a lot yet to lose. It's been slow going for a while, but I'm finally starting to go downward again. I realize that it will probably take another year for me to reach my goal, but I'm going to make it.	# Posted: 29 May 2007 15:47 Good luck Tania. Hope you succeed. Your boyfriend sounds like a sweetie.
Cynthia Brown traineo Fanatic Posts: 83 Cynthia Brown I'm a network security engineer who enjoys fencing and weight training, happily married, and trying to lose the weight I gained the past few years due to inactivity and medications. I'm aiming to get back into the suits I used to wear when I had a "suit job". I put my starting weight as it was the day I joined traineo, but I'd lost 32lbs since my peak of 205 lbs, size 18.	# Posted: 29 May 2007 20:43 That sounds like a great idea! Best of luck Tania

I'm hugely target driven so this seems to be really helping me to focus properly on getting my diet right again. Plus I want my roses, darnit!!!!!
