Mikaela K Fitness Guru Posts: 274 Mikaela K I'm just trying to tone my body and maintain my weight (and be healthy).	# Posted: 22 Dec 2007 23:35 Well...when I was fat I didn't get to enjoy fashion that much. And I wasn't as happy. I'm one of those people that believes that you should live in the present-eating healthy is part of that, I think. You need to feel good to succeed.

Ivie H Fitness Guru Posts: 315 Ivie H I'm starting to enjoy running - at least on my treadmill. And I can't wait for ChaLean Extreme to come out this December! Hoping my hubby will do that with me. :) Okay...new goal (for now) of 150 lbs. 152 lbs would give me a "normal" BMI for the first time in 15 years, and 150 lbs will mean a total of 100 lbs lost. That's only 14 lbs away! I can DO this!	# Posted: 23 Dec 2007 05:00 Before I started eating better and working out, I missed out on a lot of fresh air, sunshine, and natural beauty. I felt like I was always in such a hurry, but I wasn't doing anything productive with the time I was "saving"! Now I walk to and from work and other places - regardless of the weather. Tonight, I walked about 2 miles round trip to the grocery store in the snow, and it was gorgeous! I'm so glad I'm not missing out on simple little pleasures like a walk through the snow anymore!
Michelle Muffin traineo Newbie Posts: 20 Michelle Muffin I'm trying. I love to be motivated. Get my butt in gear! My 90-day challenge starts on January 1st. It ends on March 30. Goal: drop 10 lbs exercise every day for 5 minutes or more stay committed to my workout buddy once a week (Thursdays!)	# Posted: 23 Dec 2007 05:29 I've always been fat and I have a slightly disordered mindset. It's hard for me to recognize that I need to be healthy, not just "pretty" (but I'm working on that). But because I'm fat, I decide not to be obnoxious and rude to others by wearing skimpy clothes. Because of this, I've worn the same outfit nearly every day since I was 10. Jeans, T-shirt, sneakers. Apparently I'm "not that fat", but I like to think I'm nice enough not to jiggle near other people. I also don't swim. Terrific exercise, but I hate swimsuits. I've missed out on a lot of social things. Pool parties, anything where I have to wear dresses, whatever. Honestly, I can't wait until I'm skinny and confident.
Rachael M The Master Posts: 2300 Rachael M I am a triathlete trying to lose some weight so I can improve my times. I love traineo and the very motivational people on here. Basic info: 5'9", 22 years old, mechanical engineer :)	# Posted: 23 Dec 2007 06:50 Be confident now! I know that's easier said than done, but losing weight isn't going to change your whole mental attitude. That's a completely different issue. I think Cardio King may have been the first one to suggest this, but make a list of good qualities about yourself, and look at it everyday. Be someone you can be proud of right now. Don't let your view of yourself depend on a number on a scale.
Cardio King Fitness Guru Posts: 1784 Cardio King Words to live by: "Now's the time to grab the steering wheel of your life. Delve deep within yourself and take responsibility for your health and behavior. Ask yourself hard questions and face the truth of what needs to be done. Weight loss is not always easy or fair but you are the only one that can lose weight for you. Take a turn for the better!" Goals: 1) Lose ~45 pounds 2) Work out at least 6 days a week 3) Eat healthier consistently I will reward myself at the following weights: 240, 235, 230, 225, 220, 215, 205, 200, 195, 190 I will reassess my goals after I have met the above goals.	# Posted: 23 Dec 2007 07:02 It has cost me... Friendships, relationships, happiness, and a plethora of other things. I've missed out on so much by lacking confidence in my appearance. I cringe when I think of how different my life could've been if I had stayed in shape back in high school. But thankfully, I still have time to make the necessary changes to get myself in better shape and reclaim what I've lost. We can all do it, so let's get there!!!
Jocelyn Coutant Fitness Guru Posts: 222 Jocelyn Coutant i enjoy being active, maybe sometimes too much. i run almost everyday, i walk my dog, bike, play tennis and swim. i need to control my eating habits and learn to eat healthy again.	# Posted: 23 Dec 2007 07:19 i messed up my metabolism and was mean to everybody. still workin on it.

Mikaela K Fitness Guru Posts: 274 Mikaela K I'm just trying to tone my body and maintain my weight (and be healthy).	# Posted: 26 Dec 2007 18:49 I know I already posted, but whatever. When I still ate crap 90% of the time, I was prone to stomach aches. I blamed it on having a weak stomach and Pepto Bismal became my friend. Now that I eat that junk in moderation, I have next to no stomach problems.

April Willis traineo Fanatic Posts: 194 April Willis 09/02/08 - 151, ugh! Well, it's only 6 pounds, it will come back off! 07/30/08 - 145 YAHOO!! 06/26/08 - 148, ugh, up 3 pounds but I just started The 30 Day Shred with Jillian Michaels (instead of my Slim in 6). WOW, talk about an intense workout! 05/30/08 - 145! YAHOO!! Up 7 pounds from December but after the past few months I am impressed I didn't gain 40!! 12/29/07 - When I started this particular journey, I was 187 pounds and had a BMI of 31.1 and was obese. I am now 138 pounds and have a BMI of 23! I am within normal range again! Thank you everyone for your support! ______________________________ 04/19/07 The start of the journey - I am a 33 year old single mother of 5, ages 8 to 18 and I am obese. I never had problems with my weight until about 4 years ago. It started coming on and just didn't stop! I have yo-yo'ed long enough and it is time to get moving and get losing!	# Posted: 29 Dec 2007 19:31 I think that being fat mad eme miss out on a lot of memories with my kids! I have been going through the family photos and can hardly find any of me from the last few years! How terrible! But I remember practically running out of the room anytime someone brought a camera out! What a horrible thing to miss out on, memories with family. I am back on the wagon though! Even taking pictures of myself just to make sure there is some memory of me somewhere!
