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.

I gave you a small chance to catch up - I haven't run for three days. I started coming down with a cold and since my Half is next week I figured I would not run for a little bit and let my body heal itself..... seems to have worked, off for my run this morning!
It will be good to have you back running!

I'm looking at a total weight loss of over 130 lbs (60 kg for those of you in Europe like me...), from 150 kg to 90 kg (330 lbs to 198 lbs). I'm a 36 year old man and am REALLY tired of... well being tired.
So far I've been training like a mofo, and have totally revisited my diet - so far so good, 1/3 of my goal HAS been met - YIPPEE!!
Have met some great people here, and looking forward to meeting even more here on traineo - don't be afraid to bombard me with motivation - I'll take all you can give me :)

Quoting: jenngetfit what happened today that made you feel good? I have a shirt/jacket type thingie that I leave at work to put on when it gets chilly.
Today I put it on for the first time in awhile, and I can't believe it used to fit  I can now begin to call it a "wrap" instead of a shirt!
Now if I could only come down one pant size more, then I could fit into some of my old clothes - I'm tired of walking around in balloon pants hehe

Quoting: wayofthewarrior I ran a mile last night without any ankle issues!!! Excellent for you, Dean. That must have been a major feeling after so long.
And this weekend--an hour? How long did the mile take you? Seems like a big jump from (I'm guessing) 10-ish minutes, to a whole hour. Good vibes to your ankle.

Yeah, I had a goal to do 8 miles in an hour by the end of Feb. Not ready to let go of that goal yet. Have been keeping up the hiking and got in 10 miles or so last weekend with a bit of weight, so I'm not too concerned about the distance per se, though it is a big challenge for me. I'll get there.
Like a dog with a bone, I guess.
Thanks for the well-wishing though, I appreciate that!

Tomorrow, I'll be making the most of some of it in the blissful sun. Gotta grab it when it happens.

New positive for today: I'm almost back down to my weight before the 5 day steroid treatment! Yea! I knew it was just water weight, but it's nice to see it go away. Also, today is FRIDAY!!! Yea!!!

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.

I have been working out regularly since Sept 07. I've been here several times in the past BUT this time the change is going to last a LIFETIME!!
I am the mother of a ten year old competitive figure skater (which takes alot of my time). I work fulltime and my hubbie works away. Time is a challenge!!!
I would like to lose 20lbs by July 1.
I resolve to:
Short term (by June 1, 2008):
1. Get back on track after my vacation in Cuba (April 7 - 16, 2008)
2. cardio 5x/week including trying to get back to running if my achillis tendon will ever heal!
3. weight train 3-4 x per week
4. Drink 64 oz water per day (this will be the biggest challenge!)
5. Obtain a Normal BMI (154 lb)!
Midterm Goals (by July 1, 2008):
1. Continue with short term
2. Try to increase mileage to run a 10 km race around Canada Day (July 1, 2008)
3. Try to find a 10 km race to run between June 15 - July 15, 2008
4. Obtain goal weight (currently set at 150 lb but maybe 144 lb) - BMI around 23
5. Continue weight training
Long term (By March 31, 2009):
1. To still be at this in 12 months time (the exercise and health habits not the weight loss part!)
2. To maintain a BMI of around 23!
3. To run a half marathon...if all works out...Myrtle Beach Half Marathon Feb 2009

Wow!! Sypke 4 belt holes that is marvelous!!!!!!!
I have a closet full of skiny clothes that I'm working my way back into!! I put on a pair of pants this week that I wish I had woren a belt with - I spent all day pull my pants up - a little too much butt showing at times!!! I'm not complaining - I figure another 5lb or so and alot of clothes is going to be leaving my closet permanently and then stores what out!!!

I am using the Zone way of eating (www.drsears.com) to attain my target and increase my wellness.
I'm losing weight for my health, energy, and for my friend's wedding so no one mistakes me for Ms. Piggy's sister.

I'm down a lb from yesterday! My weight has flatlined all week, even though the inches were coming off. The scale finally caught up with me. I'm making up for it today!
(And I haven't even used the bathroom this morning yet, if you know what I mean, hahahahahaha)

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.

Quoting: rach_1623 I'm in the 170's!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 179.0 this morning!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Whooooo Hoooooo!!
My positive note of the day:
I went for a 1 mile run with my daughter, and then my son and daughter went back out with me for another mile walk/run. Saturday is my normal long run day but this weeks schedule was so off that I was able to do this. I need to do this more often.
I posted all about it on my blog.... and don't feel like typing it all again

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

Congrats everyone. I had an FF (fan-fxckingtastic) workout today. I felt great! Then after my shower I put on a new button up XXL shirt. I came downstairs and my g/f and her mom told me to button it, I said no it won't button.... well after 5 minutes they got me to finally try and button it... Only it wasnt really trying because it Buttoned right up! Now I recently switched from XXXL t-shirts to XXL t-shirts now I am moving from XXXL button up shirts to XXL button shirts while wearing my XXL t-shirt.
They both gave me a bunch of really big compliments and it felt great... Her mom kept saying I should be proud of myself and all of that, then her sister came out of her bedroom and said 'Wow you look really cute today'.
So I am having a great great start to my day.

Quoting: Bruno43 They both gave me a bunch of really big compliments and it felt great. Good for you, that does feel great!
I have another couple good ones today..... it has been a good day!
I finally fixed my garage door opener. It has been broken for months, and I just didn't think I could fix it myself. I ordered the parts this week and they came yesterday. I took it down and fixed it, and did some greasing up of everything. It has not worked this smooth or quiet since we bought the house 6 years ago. No more opening and closing by hand every day. Yea it was more calories, but also more of an aggravation.
I also took the new found confidence and replaced the springs on my other garage door. I bought these springs over 6 months ago and they have been sitting around waiting for me to replace them. I started thinking that I was going to have to call a repair man because I didn't think I could do it. Well, 15 minutes after I got done with the first door I was finishing up the springs and greasing on the second door - and it too is quieter than it has been since we moved in.
Whoooooo Hooooooo! What a load off - and money saved! No more waking the neighbors with noisy garage doors when I open them to drive to the gym at 4:45 in the morning!
And one last thing..... No plans or nothing to do tonight - a free night!!!!
