I'm looking at a total weight loss of over 130 lbs (60 kg for those of you in Europe like me...), from 150 kg to 90 kg (330 lbs to 198 lbs). I'm a 36 year old man and am REALLY tired of... well being tired.
So far I've been training like a mofo, and have totally revisited my diet - so far so good, 1/3 of my goal HAS been met - YIPPEE!!
Have met some great people here, and looking forward to meeting even more here on traineo - don't be afraid to bombard me with motivation - I'll take all you can give me :)

Lilly I think I'm your "in real life" counterpart. Here on the forum I can get away with just about anything (shall we start the piercing discussion again?  ), but when I talk in the REAL world people usually just look at me, say "oooh kay..." (accent on the "kay") and then back away very slowly and carefully.
It sucks being the best

I've always been bigger. Maybe not classified as being fat because I carry it pretty well. But, well, I'm fat. There's no fooling myself. In January, months of hard work paid off as my wife got pregnant with what will be our first child. I had been exercising a bit until that point, but I decided to ramp it up a notch and get my weight to where I can be healthy and be around a long time for my wife and kid.
I've been known to drop 40-50 pounds in 5 months or so on a few occasions, only to slowly gain that weight back over a couple years. This time is different. I know everybody says that and usually that statement doesn't come to fruit, but I've got that incentive...becoming a daddy.
Got a blog rolling-
rokandroll.blogspot.com
I post on it a few times a week. Mostly fitness stuff. I try to be somewhat humorous. Check it out if you're REALLY bored.

# Posted: 18 Apr 2008 20:30 - Edited by: lillyk
Popped back in to see how this thread was dying...oops, I mean doing ;)
Quoting: spyke Lilly I think I'm your "in real life" counterpart. Spyke, I think there may be more than a bit of truth in that statement. I tend to get the same reaction from people, and I think they just don't know what to make of me. They look at me like I've grown another head when I talk. And I *try* to filter what I'm saying, but my mouth gets carried away sometimes and forgets to listen to the brain, and.....well, you know
Quoting: spyke shall we start the piercing discussion again? hahaha...ok, so...mini-storytime:
Once upon a time I was a very popular blogger (oh, 3-4 yrs ago? ish? I've been blogging since '99, but anyway)...used to get tons of hits, mainly b/c (as I put it) I wrote like a 16 yr old on crack. What I meant was, I rarely use capitals, write run-on sentences, overuse smilies & ellipsis (the ... thing) and whatnot...and generally, you had to be on coffee or some other sort of stimulant to keep up w/the many subject changes I'd go thru. Long story short (too late!), I was a bit nutty, but ppl liked me. So, I decided to create a meme based on (of all things) TMI - too much information. It was TMI Friday. I'd ask some random over-the-top question & there would be a competition over who had the "most TMI" in the comments. I'd always share my answer as well, so it was kinda fun b/c ppl would find out all sorts of crazy things about me (like, how much tp I use in the bathroom...or how much I've ever had to drink in one night, etc., etc.). I was dubbed the Queen of TMI, dude...and if THAT doesn't raise a few eyebrows, I don't know what will!! Anyway, I'd pick a winner every week & it was all in good fun. Of course, now I don't publicly blog about my personal life, so I don't have that awesome following or anything anymore. But, still...sometimes I think the 'net was made for people like us who just don't know when to stop
Speaking of which! I just had the most lovely afternoon w/my mother-in-law, who is the sweetest woman in the world (next to my grandmother, of course). We went to lunch at La Madeleine (cute little bistro type chain here in SA) & I had the most delicious tomato basil soup & spinach salad (w/strawberries, mushrooms, red peppers & pecans!) We went shopping after that (god bless retail therapy) and I got another shirt like the one I bought last week (too cute! if I can remember to take a pic, I'll post it...almost time for me to post pics around here anyway), and some...uh...underthings. (ready for TMI? of course you are...) So, thankfully, the "ladies" haven't gone down in size, but my ass! Oh thank God, my ass is getting smaller!!! So, I had to buy new...uh...undergarments & stuff. I was so stoked this morning, b/c I caught a glimpse of myself in the mirror & I saw those little indentation thingies over my butt! I haven't seen those in ages!! Granted, they probably never went away, but I really hadn't seen them in so long I thought they were gone! I swear, my butt should have its own postal code, so when it gets smaller, I KNOW I'm losing weight! I was so happy, I could just about die!! hehe
Anyway, if THAT doesn't kill this thread, I don't know what will...well, maybe I can bust out w/those stupid human tricks...I can make my arm look like it's broken!!
edited to add: see??? 10 effin' smilies!! who the hell uses so many smilies?? (resisting urge to add #11...eep!)

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

Quoting: lillyk those little indentation thingies back dimples.... those are good!
Quoting: lillyk I think the 'net was made for people like us who just don't know when to stop Yep. I've learned to keep most of what I think in my head (I've grown a filter), but sometimes I still LOL because of it... Then the very persistent person insists on an explanation, which is long and drawn out, and generally ends with "you had to be there" in which case "there" is in my head... But a couple years ago I actually met my counterpart in real life who has the same sense of humor and ridiculous thoughts, and one day we will either end up in jail together or dying under extremely rare circumstances.

anyway...back dimples!! yeah, I couldn't think of what to call them....hehe

I've been reading up on those little so called, "Dimples of Venus", and like Dave the man noted, it's for the most part genetic, in the way that if you've never had them, (at any weight), then there's no getting them with more weight loss or exercise or whatever. It's a feature of the skeleton, not of the muscles.
Film at eleven, dimple contest at twelve.
