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

Words to live by: "Now's the time to grab the steering wheel of your life. Delve deep within yourself and take responsibility for your health and behavior. Ask yourself hard questions and face the truth of what needs to be done. Weight loss is not always easy or fair but you are the only one that can lose weight for you. Take a turn for the better!"


Goals:
1) Lose ~45 pounds
2) Work out at least 6 days a week
3) Eat healthier consistently

I will reward myself at the following weights: 240, 235, 230, 225, 220, 215, 205, 200, 195, 190

I will reassess my goals after I have met the above goals.

In one word - I am an Unquenchable Optimistic!!

Im a phd student and have been traineoing for the past 1 year! I am in love with HIIT, dark chocolate, green tea and falling in love with more through this site!

Current goal- Simply workout 5 days a week.

I hope to have a bikini body for this summer.

I was more fit when I was back in college. (which was 2 years ago)

I'm stuck in this cycle of the YO YO diet. I'll work out and eat right for six months then it all goes down hill for the rest of the year.

So one day I googled a fitness support group and came upon traineo. I'm glad I did!
