Dave Nicholson The Master Posts: 2089 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: 13 Feb 2008 19:47 Good for you, Jenn!! My other me is trying to convince me not to go to they gym today but I'm going

Tim Wilson Fitness Guru Posts: 650 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.

Goal: Lose 35lbs before Cardio King	# Posted: 17 Feb 2008 00:43 I wen to a boxing gym today just to watch my g/f try it out, I would have done it today but I am still sick, and it seems fantastic. The trainer is very nice and best of all its free. One of his guys he has been training is going pro soon and he wants us to do the advertisment and web development for him and the gym as well. I am so pumped. I also picked up those perfect pushups today, so we will see how well they are. Also I think we are going to talk to her dad and figure out if we can clean their basement out and I will buy barbells/dumbells/weights and some pullup equipment so we can have our very own gym in the basement instead of paying for a membership because all in all it is cheaper. I am super excited.

Now it's time for a wee snack, followed by a bubbley soak in a steamin' hot bath under my big skylight while I watch this gorgeous blue day.

Tara C traineo Regular Posts: 60 Tara C I am a huge nerd! I love computers, my wii, the xbox and action movies. Battlestar Galactica is my favourite tv show. I obsess about music and love bands like Muse, NIN, A Perfect Circle, Metric and The Bravery. I love to talk, and hopefully this website will help keep me motivated!	# Posted: 18 Feb 2008 06:30 I'm happy because I'm back! My Dr. finally gave me the go ahead to go back to the gym. I had trouble visiting traineo when I couldn't go to the gym or anything because I was bummed that I couldn't go. I started going back to the gym this week! I went out of town to visit my family and when I walked in they all complimented me. I don't own a scale, so I hopped on my aunt's scale and was surprised with a four pound drop! I had a great day!

If you want to get somewhere else, you must run at least twice as fast as that." -- said the White Queen to Alice in Through the Looking Glass Itadaki@Brightkite: http://brightkite.com/people/itadaki	# Posted: 18 Feb 2008 06:38 I'm still nursing a cough and week-old cold, but I tried to follow some advice I gave last week and at least educated myself better while I convalesced. So now I have a clear goal list, plus I know my BMR (1924 Cal) and a good deal about my typical working day caloric intake. I also found at least two ways to kill hidden calories. Yay!
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: 18 Feb 2008 07:46 Great and inspiring positives everyone! Well my positive today is: before I started exercising/eating sensibly..I was starting to develop those "Batwing" type of flabs of fat under my arms when I'd lift them above my head - you know the type.....today, I noticed they are almost gone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Gone I tell ya!!!!!!!!! They have melted off or been tightened one or the other lol...but they are barely noticeable now yayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!
