OT: No personal pic? Create an avatar.
This is so cool....
If you don't have a photo you want to display on traineo, why not create an avatar (a cartoon you?)
I love to walk near the woods, wearing my red sweater, jeans and white sneakers....
Ta-da... the new me.
There are probably a lot of free sites you can use to create your own avatar but, I used this one.

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

<<< Look, there's me - 100 lbs from now, in Yosemite, with my pet penguin. 
Yes, I would actually wear that outfit. Aren't I flowsy?
Thanks, Stephanie!! That was fun. I love the Fuji Mountain Marshall Arts Girl you, too.

Awesome work, Sarah and DJ.
The possibilities are endless...
As you can see, I've been playing with this avatar creating thing for a while.
I'm anxious to see more traineo avatars.
Come see us all at the new avatars group:

I am trying to get fit and thin so that I can stop being the 'man that keeps getting fatter' and to help get my triglyceride count down to normal levels.

Your avatar looks just like you, Jeff! Great job.
Sorry everyone for the broken picture links above. Whenever I update one of my 5 avatars, the old link dies.
I'm experimenting with my first ever blog. The concept is talk and articles about survival.
You can see more of my avatars here, as they're helping me to illustrate the site:

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.

Ah.... I don't like this. Not that I have a problem with avatars, I just like the personal touch of being able to see the person I am corresponding with. An Avatar is just so impersonal.
Just my .02, I am not trying to be mean in any way.
