Ara Bruno Fitness Guru Posts: 683 Ara Bruno Not much to say, I like playing video games and watching/playing sports. I work as a web developer for a small company. I think when I get into shape I want to become a volunteer firefighter. Goal: Lose 35lbs before Cardio King	# Posted: 7 Feb 2008 04:26 Okay this is a very positive in my house I literally jumped up and down I was so excited... My g/f parents bought me the wrong size of shirt for xmas (XXL) and at that point I wasn't planning on working out or losing weight so I was just going to return them. My g/f said she wanted to keep them to wear to bed so one night I tried them on and it was way to small (I was in XXXL then.) Well tonight I tried it on again for shxts and giggles and it fit me not just barley but pretty damn good... I havn't worn XXL for about 5 years!!! I am so happy!
Samantha Cordell Fitness Guru Posts: 338 Samantha Cordell Success is not a race, be patient. Success leads to success. Success is always a work in progress. Success doesn't come to you--you go to it. Success is a journey, not a destination. Focus on the process. Some people dream about success... while others wake up and work hard at it. Success is achieved and maintained by those who try-and keep trying. Everyday is a good day to SUCCEED! If at first you don't succeed-try, try again	# Posted: 7 Feb 2008 05:20 - Edited by: sammiaaron Way to go Ara!!!!!! The best feeling in the world I think! My big fat positive today was finally reaching 45 minutes on my treadmill - it is something I have been working towards since 4 weeks ago, and finally I have reached the top of the mountain and am loving the view

This time is it, guys! I can feel it! Woooo!!!
Glovia L Fitness Guru Posts: 810 Glovia L I love to eat. Carbs is my weakness link that I always lose control in front of it. I started running for fitness in 2007. Ever since I finished the 1st marathon (San Diego RnR 2007), I am addicted to running. I started traineoing in Nov 2007. I have reached my goal weight in Jun 08 already. But, now, I don't care much about my weight. I care about it only if it affects my running performance.	# Posted: 7 Feb 2008 08:26 What a great thread, Jen! All of us are excited to tell our stories. The growth of this thread is going to compete with your "what's your workout commitment for today or tomorrow?" Today, I finally have made up my mind and signed up the La Jolla half-marathon in April. It is a very hilly course that I have been hesitated. Now, I have a goal to work on. It is going to be great!
Tim Wilson Fitness Guru Posts: 648 Tim Wilson I have started two new blogs, one to follow my running and a Quest to a Marathon at blog.262quest.com and one to follow my weight loss at blog.2big.org, please check them out. I am an IT professional / Developer which means I sit in front of a computer most of the day. This means very little exercise and plenty of time to eat. I decided at the first of the year that I was going to lose weight. I started by changing my eating habits and started walking. I did so for about a month and then added some weight lifting and started to run a little bit. I have so far lost 29 lbs in just over 3 months and would like to lose just over another 50 lbs by the end of the year. I have started running quite a bit more and am training to run the Peachtree Road Race in Atlanta on July 4th (10k) I need all the encouragement I can get because to do this I am getting up every morning during the week at 4:30 to go running. With a wife and kids this is really the only time that I can consistently do what I need to do. I am driven, but at times get a bit discouraged because I don't have anybody to work out with or run with. All in All, I know I can do it, I just have to remember that when I don't do so well, it is in the past and what matters is going forward.

My times are getting better and better, as I had to do an extra loop around the soccer feild to get the run up to :30. That and 25 minutes of power-walking has done me some GOOD for today. And my knees feel, NORMAL. Dog seems pleased as well. Get well Sniffy-Tim. And Glovia, all the best for that half marathon in April, you're an inspiration. Jen, here's to that mind-speaking becoming a habit.

Sweating up a storm, but not breathing like a nut or anything. As for my dear dog--he's nice and floppy now, snoozing away already. I think I'll pull back the reigns a little on my next run, as I reckon I'm not doing my fat-burning plan any favors going that hard--but its fun!

Amy S Fitness Guru Posts: 220 Amy S A few ups and downs with the weight lately. Losing those last 10 lbs again now. Revised fitness plan: -some cardio EVERY day for a month to remove the revenge of the hip fat -some weight training, some pilates -I love biking and lots of fun summer sports! That's what it's all about-good times! I will eat healthy foods and let my body weigh what it wants to weigh. I concentrate on whole grains, lean proteins, fruits and veggies, and I will eat delicious chocolate when I want to! Guilt has been removed from my vocabulary. The wave of passion can be an unstoppable force. To get what you've never had, you must do what you've never done. Procrastination is opportunity's natural assassin.	# Posted: 7 Feb 2008 15:16 Wow, great job everyone! Love this Jen/TNM, you have made such awesome progress in so many ways My good news-my karate class was rescheduled so I can get back at that, and also, I have a friend who is teaching me to snowboard tomorrow-I'm so excited. She seems confident I will be able to handle it. Wish me luck-(NO broken bones).

Dave Nicholson The Master Posts: 2078 Dave Nicholson I'm basically trying to get in shape and be healthy... diaryofthefatman.blogspot.com I like participating in sports but I want to be more competitive. Also I'm with Kevin Spacey from American Beauty - good reason :) I'm looking to lose about a hundred lbs in the course of a year, and basically to just consistently get better. And I love comments and messages, so keep 'em coming! I talk about goal setting a lot, how about I actually set some? Well it's time to revisit goals... I didn't do too well with my end of year plans, but learned some things and changed my plans up a bit as I went along. During the 5-7 weeks of the year, I was able to put on about 8-10lbs of muscle, and stay at the same actual weight. The plan is to start the Strong Lifts 5X5 program to supplement the Couch to 5K program, and that should last the next 8-12 weeks. I'm updating goals as well. Lowering cholesterol remains a goal, and I'll find out about that at the end of August. Been bouncing around a bit, but getting a little stricter again and will monitor that over the next 3-4 weeks. I feel poised to really lose some weight again, so I'm looking forward to the healthy eating and additional exercise.	# Posted: 7 Feb 2008 19:22 Good luck, Amy! I tried last weekend and although I spent most of my time not upright, it was a lot of fun! Keep at it, it takes a little time to get it down I hear I got a raise today, and a bonus for my next pay period, so I'm excited about that... and I kicked ASS in the gym yesterday, couldn't get in the squat rack so I was leg-pressing 550 w/out any trouble, not having done it in a while... Then my friend made me do crunches w/ the medicine ball and I was about 100% better at them than the last time... Feeling good

I got it with no fried onions and I gave away some of the Texas toast and threw the rest away so all it had was lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, carrots, cheese, grilled chicken, and lite ranch dressing. Only 500 Cal and it's an awesome lunch! I'm glad that I can still enjoy some of the things I used to love with only minor changes!

Rachael McCarty Fitness Guru Posts: 1692 Rachael McCarty 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: 7 Feb 2008 23:40 Yes it did! I just wanted something sweet so I asked a couple of people if they had any candy. One guy offered me a bag of cookies and I asked if I could just have 1. He looked at me a little strangely, but I just opened the package, took one out, shoved it in my mouth, and put the rest of the bag back on his desk. I haven't been back to ask for another and that was like 3 hours ago!!

Glovia L Fitness Guru Posts: 810 Glovia L I love to eat. Carbs is my weakness link that I always lose control in front of it. I started running for fitness in 2007. Ever since I finished the 1st marathon (San Diego RnR 2007), I am addicted to running. I started traineoing in Nov 2007. I have reached my goal weight in Jun 08 already. But, now, I don't care much about my weight. I care about it only if it affects my running performance.	# Posted: 8 Feb 2008 05:59 Quoting: rach_1623 I'm proud to say that I can now eat just 1 of something I wish I could do that also, Rachael.
