SW: 268 (9/08/08) GW: 185 (4/08/09)	# Posted: 11 Feb 2008 04:25 So if I plan on completely starting my diet over, is there any way to erase everything that we have logged thus far? Or is the only way I can do that is to make a new user name? I have completely fallen off the wagon since the superbowl. I am quite ashamed and want to just get a fresh start. I hate how I let one little slip up turn into an awful day, then week, and so on... I am considering just making a new account but I would rather just be able to start over on the one I have.

You know you're starting over, so just leave it at that and get back on the bandwagon. You can do it man.

USE THE FORCE, ROB. Make yourself proud.
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. A more up to date thread on me: http://www.traineo.com/14_2366_0.html	# Posted: 11 Feb 2008 10:50 You have beaten the battle by admitting it. Just continue on with that motivation and jump back on the wagon. I would agree with what Minu says that Dean says "we are what we've done" Don't hide behind a new name or profile, you have already owned up to what has happened, and it is now part of who you are/what you have done. Be proud of yourself for admitting it and start from here. If you must, change your starting weight, but I think you should be who you are, and use that as extra motivation. Your choice, but I figured I would give my opinion! I have many times had to post a weight gain on the forums, and it felt horrible, but you know what? It gave me more drive to make this work. Hiding just makes it easier to finally give up. Owning up to it makes you stronger and more confident, and gives you the edge on making this change permanent and succeeding. Keep it up, you are doing great!!
Rob M. Fitness Guru Posts: 442 Rob M. SW: 268 (9/08/08) GW: 185 (4/08/09)	# Posted: 11 Feb 2008 13:55 Thanks for the positive feedback everyone. This is going to be my year. I am not going to let one slip up ruin everything. I will probably just switch up my starting weight and just move forward from this day on. I had a bad week, oh well, there are plenty of other weeks this year to make up for it.
Rachael M The Master Posts: 2299 Rachael M I am a triathlete trying to lose some weight so I can improve my times. I love traineo and the very motivational people on here.

I had a week slip up over Christmas, gained like 5 lbs and felt like crap, but now I'm back on track and ready to reach my goal! You can do it too!
Jocelyn Coutant Fitness Guru Posts: 222 Jocelyn Coutant i enjoy being active, maybe sometimes too much. i run almost everyday, i walk my dog, bike, play tennis and swim. i need to control my eating habits and learn to eat healthy again.	# Posted: 11 Feb 2008 15:36 yeah i hear ya rob. i did the same thing this weekend, and over break. it's okay thought because you are still alive. it didn't kill you haha. "you may have to fight a battle more than once to win it"
Stacy F Fitness Guru Posts: 336 Stacy F This member has no personal statement yet!	# Posted: 11 Feb 2008 16:04 Keep in the fight Rob. Pick yourself up dust yourself off and get back in the fight. Its a minor slip up what is done is done. Now get moving and dont look back.
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: 11 Feb 2008 16:12 Quoting: timwilson Don't hide behind a new name or profile, you have already owned up to what has happened, and it is now part of who you are/what you have done.

I concur with Tim here...so true.... You can do it Rob
Ara Bruno Fitness Guru Posts: 774 Ara Bruno Not much to say, I like playing video games and watching/playing sports. I work as a web developer for a small company.

I screwed up for the Super Bowl to and the week as well... I kept going to the gym at the very least... but my diet was horrible.... But you have to soldier on!
Brandon B. traineo Fanatic Posts: 78 Brandon B. Start Weight: 263.8 Current Weight: 229.6 Goal Weight: 200.0 Start B/F%: 38% Current B/F%: 30% Goal B/F%: 22% Last Updated: 10/21/08	# Posted: 11 Feb 2008 20:54 Quoting: RMontgomery I will probably just switch up my starting weight and just move forward from this day on. I did the same thing. My original starting weight was 245. Then, I ignored my weight till I got to 264. When I started losing weight, Traineo kept telling me I had gained weight since I had started even though every week I was dropping pounds. I ended up setting my starting weight to 264, since that's when I got serious about losing.

Imagine Tony Little and/or Richard Simmons coming after you if you don't start over today. That's enough to motivate anyone into a gym just to get away from them.
