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 a grad student. I am trying to lose about 20 lbs to ease my knee pain.

I do cardio/weights 4-5 times a week. I also bike 7-8 miles on my daily commute. I love to work out, but boy do I love food, too... :-)

I work as a Health and Fitness Coach in England. I am looking to network with dedicated athletes and grow my knowledge in this area. Check out what I do at www.warriorcoaching.co.uk

Sweets did me in.

Evil little tarts aren't they?

My goal? Become fit and healthy. No white flour, no white sugar, and to focus more on health than "zomg it's so yummy though!". Change my body, change my mind.

6 months of Hard Training down. Starting to diet to drop some of the fat I gained going from 180 to 195. Will post more pics when finished :)

My motivation disappeared for awhile, and quite frankly it's not all that visible at the moment. Sometimes ya just gotta do it anyway, though. I tried setting small attainable goals for myself, but then I got lazy and the "next week syndrome" kicked in. Now I'm giving myself something HARD to do...lose 11 pounds in 30 days. If ONLY I had Bob or Jillian here to kick my butt!!!!

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.

My current weight loss journey started in October 2006 with 112 pounds to lose.

Check on my progress at http://www.garbagethatgoo.com!

It's not my first time losing weight, but I feel committed to making it the last time. I mean to reach goal and stay there!

I use to be thin... then I got married lol. I just want to be healthy and happy with myself again... and to shock my family when I go visit them in July :-D!

I'm a full time systems administrator with a soccer addiction. Not too long ago I was an avid rock climber and a decent martial artist.

It's time to get in-shape once again.

I am a slow runner, decent snowboarder, and aim for wiisports rookie of the year. I have strong legs, eastern european calves, and like to lift things my boyfriend thinks I can't. A busy and constantly changing schedule make it hard to get into and stay in a workout routine. I'm a crusader for medical scientific truth in nutrition and weight loss discussions and I heart fiber.

I used to be reasonably fit and slim when I was in college, but have been gaining weight steadily ever since I got married.

I do next to no exercise apart from playing occasional ping pong with my co-workers.

But this is all going to change!! My goal is to train, train and train and get back to my true old self (i.e, ~175lbs).

I use to be thin... then I got married lol. I just want to be healthy and happy with myself again... and to shock my family when I go visit them in July :-D!

In one word - I am an Unquenchable Optimistic!!

Im a phd student and have been traineoing for the past 8 months! I am in love with HIIT, dark chocolate, green tea and falling in love with more through this site!

Training for my first 5K in July.

I am doing my first walk marathon ( Avon walk for breast cancer- total 39 miles) this fall and have begun training for it. I am actively fundraising for this event. If you would like to donate to my walk, please feel free to contact me!

I'm becoming my own self after spending nearly 3 years in a relationship. I'm 15.

Current goals: Complete C25K program, drop to 160 by the time school starts.
