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: 14 Feb 2008 12:11 Maybe someone ca help me. I found a site some time back that let you enter your goals. It would let you enter your goals and then other people with the same goals would see each other and were kinda able to communicate about that goal. It was a web 2.0 kinda place - kinda social networking. I put in two goals - Run a Half Marathon, and Run a Marathon, and wanted to update it but I can't remember the site for the life of me. Any ideas of sites like this? Maybe it will help me remember. Thanks!
