I am a happily married mother of two. Been struggling with my weight for twelve years now. I would like to get in shape, feel healthy, and of course slim down.

I just noticed on my profile there is a tiny water bottle. It says "water bottles:0 " next to it. I have never noticed this before. What is it?

Started NutriSystem on 3/10/07 to lose weight. Continue to weight train and adding more cardio. Primary goal is to drop the weight. Once the weight is off, then I will intensify the strength training.

I sent you one so you can see what it is like. The rest of us have been using this feature for over a year now.

so how do you use it... I imagine it's to count how much water we've had during a given time frame?
I've tried clicking on it, to no avail... just a big fattie zero. No pun intended.

Hi Tricia
The idea is to give 'Water Bottles' to other traineo members as a little motivational tool. If you browse to another member's page, you'll see at the top you can send them one - we've included a selection of motivation messages for you to use and you can also include your own customised message.
I hope that helps - be great to hear your feedback
Thanks
Chris

Sorry Traineo guys, I think it's silly. Now if you were giving away REAL water bottles with TRAINEO plastered across them, hmmm.....

I am 34 years old, married and a father of a 2.5 year old. They are the motivators for me to reach my goal. I started the new journey on 8/21/06 @307 lbs and as of June '08, I have lost around 108 lbs. I have been able to keep 100 lb weight loss since Sept. '07. What keeps me on track is the Traineo community, vision of a healthy and fit future and the mini-goals below. *GOAL 1 = 244 lbs, Date = 2/15/07 Date Met = 2/7/07 *GOAL 2 = 229 lbs, Date = 3/22/07 Date Met = 3/30/07 ________________________ *GOAL 3 = 199 lbs, Date = 6/30/08 Date Met = 6/5/08 *GOAL 4 = 185 lbs, Date = 09/30/08 Date Met = TBD (185 is my "ultimate" goal. Then build muscle.)
Hobbies/Interests: Baseball, White Sox, bowling, WII, Xbox 360, PSP, XM, Opie and Anthony radio show, Ron and Fez radio show, variety of music, working out, running.
Personal Records: 5K - 26:18 (4/14/08-8:29/mile pace) 10K- 54:56-9/16/07-(8:43/mile pace) 10 Mile Run - CXLD due to injury Marathon - 10/12/08
Advice: - Set a Deadline: "A goal is a dream with a deadline - Napolean Hill." - Set Mini Goals - They help you accomplish small milestones on your way to the "ultimate" goal. - Track your progress. - Plan everything out. Daily workout routines, meals, etc. - Be patient. Your goals will eventually be met, if you work hard.

Don't know your inside joke, but it does look like a baby's bottle.

i like the idea. it's pretty neat.
...but i'd like a real water bottle too, lol. maybe you could give them out to traineo fanatics or fitness gurus. that would encourage people to be active in the forums.
i'll settle for the sentimental value though, and the motivation. if anyone doesn't like it, all the more water for me!

I have little time to go to the gym, but I do in-house workouts. Push-ups, sit-ups, lunges, etc. Feel free to contact me with any good exercises that do not require weights.

These water bottles are cool. You have some really great quotes in there. People send me some motivation, I haven't been to the gym all week!!!
