Dave Wild traineo Newbie Posts: 7 Dave Wild This post will probably explain about my motivations behind this current weight loss... http://publicenergy.eu/health.html	# Posted: 6 Jan 2007 18:48 I made a promise to one of the people I motivate (who motivates me as well). The story is here (rather than type it all in again! I was wondering if anyone else has come up with any unusual methods of motivation
NYCinephile . Fitness Guru Posts: 328 NYCinephile . My fitness regimen includes stationary cycling, light weight training and lots of walking around NYC. I'm a graduate of WeightWatchers and an enthusiastic advocate of its balanced approach to weight loss. I'm sure that I drink too much coffee and get too little sleep. :) My goals are to maintain my weight in a healthy BMI/BF % range and forestall the toll of advancing age. :) I think Traineo's established a great community and appreciate the support and information we share. You'll find me elsewhere on the Web at http://claimid.com/nycinephile	# Posted: 6 Jan 2007 19:03 @Dave: Great story! My Motivator lives in India, and one of my Motivatees spends part of the year in Singapore. Perhaps I have to do something along the lines of walking across continents barefoot.
Jennie W Fitness Guru Posts: 477 Jennie W I am 29 years old and have grown passionate about fitness and health! Overall, I have lost and kept off a little over 40 pounds, and I have about 20 or so more that I would like to take off. This last year has been tough and distracting in many ways, and I am back to work now! I am revisiting Traineo, because this site and the people here were instrumental in helping me lose my original 40 pounds so I am back! I regret that because of time constraints I won't be able to be AS active in the forums as I used to, but I will certainly try to stay in there and reconnect with old friend as well as make new ones. My fitness goals remain the same as before as I haven't achieved them yet: *GOAL 1 = 140 lbs Target Date = 7/31/08 Date Met = TBD CURRENT FITNESS GOALS: Run a 5K, improve flexibility enough to do the splits, be able to do 50 pushups in a row, be able to do a pull-up, learn to do a hand stand and then hand stand pushups. :)	# Posted: 6 Jan 2007 20:18 Dave....you rock! That is all I have to say. Oh, and the wig suits you!
