I always thought I ate reasonably healthy and that I worked out OK... how wrong I was!

I have never been really overweight - for 5'' 4 (162cm?) the heaviest I have been is 62 kg. Hence the illusion that I don't eat badly. The one kilogram I have lost may not mean much numerically, but my life underwent quite a big change

I started properly training at the end of August. Three sessions with a personal trainer a week and additional two or three cardio sessions per week and now I can run non-stop for 25 minutes. Quite an improvement compared to about two minutes two months ago

I started counting calories and realized that I had just been eating too much. Now I think it's normal to eat veggies for a meal (you couldn't force me to eat broccoli for all Bill Gates' money) but now I have steamed broccoli with cheese sauce for lunch and am quite happy with it 'I am not a bloody rabbit' was my motto only two months ago...

I eat at least a bowl of veggies per day, all sweets/ refined carbs/ drinks are cut out, and my treat is either a rice cake with some honey or fat-free yoghurt. And although I've only lost a kilo, I am one size smaller

Losing weight or having a better form is nothing compared to other changes I have experienced - I am perfectly functional with about 6-7 hours of good sleep per day, I concentrate so much better, and am never tired. I learned to cook better as well ;) so my eat-out bill is much lower. Steamed veggie with cheese sauce takes about five minutes to make, and ten times cheaper than any other food I can get outside!

So it's been a great month with traineo.

I'd second that!

Been lurking around the forums for a couple of weeks now just reading stuff and checking out all the great articles. I never really cared much about counting calories, and never thought I ate that badly, but now I've got an easy way to keep track of my food intake and exercise I'm doing, it's cool to see it balancing out and progessing.

Always had my weight up + down, easily swinging 20-25lbs in 6 months, but now I can manage everything easily and show myself I can maintain healthy eating + working out, it's great! Definatley feeling more awake and feel better about myself as I know I'm not just sitting around on my backside!

I am also thankful that Traineo exists. It is a great tool to hold yourself accountable. Reading the challenges and successes accomplished by others is also very motivating.

Hey Iain, I am also a lurker ;) I also think that I've got that eating healthy thing as a habit now. That's great
