I'm basically trying to get in shape and be healthy...

I like participating in sports but I want to be more competitive. Also I'm with Kevin Spacey from American Beauty - good reason :)

I'm looking to lose about a hundred lbs in the course of a year, and basically to just consistently get better. And I love comments and messages, so keep 'em coming!

I talk about goal setting a lot, how about I actually set some?

Well it's time to revisit goals... I didn't do too well with my end of year plans, but learned some things and changed my plans up a bit as I went along. During the 5-7 weeks of the year, I was able to put on about 8-10lbs of muscle, and stay at the same actual weight. The plan is to start the Strong Lifts 5X5 program to supplement the Couch to 5K program, and that should last the next 8-12 weeks.

I'm updating goals as well. Lowering cholesterol remains a goal, and I'll find out about that at the end of August.

Been bouncing around a bit, but getting a little stricter again and will monitor that over the next 3-4 weeks. I feel poised to really lose some weight again, so I'm looking forward to the healthy eating and additional exercise.

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.

started 1/28/08 to change my life via diet exercise...if you're interested, here's my blog about it:
http://losinglill.blogspot.com

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.

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.

Started going to the gym 2/2008. Doing mostly cardio / elliptical. I am shooting for looking drastically different by August for my wife's family reunion. My ultimate goal is to be 180 by the end of December.
