Hi, I am new here at Traineo, but did hear a lot about the site before I joined.
The site seems to be very focused on weight loss. My goal hasn't so much to do with kgs.. more about getting in shape and "rearranging" how my body looks.
Is it possible to set other goals than losing a certain amount of weight?

I exercise everyday because I want to live a long and healthy life.
I eat healthy foods because they make me feel great!

yeah, just put your goals in your profile so that your motivators, or strangers, can comment on them and encourage you.
maybe we should start a group for people whose main goal(s) isn't weight loss.
jarred, adam?

On the same page as your Weight, Workout & Diet Logs, there is a My Logs button...it's got other random logs that aren't necessarily weight-loss related, or you can create your own (like # of beers per day...)

To get in shape, you must push yourself to the limit every time you step into the gym. Doing this is hard,
tortuous, and INTENSE. Stop making excuses, get out there, and work your muscles until you're writhing in pain. You HAVE to be mindful of reality and put theory into practice rather than lackadaisically evading it.
It's really that simple.
Current stats:
Weight: 190-195 lbs
6K erg time: 1:53/500 meter split
Max Bench: 275 lbs
Max Squat: 365 lbs
Max Deadlift: 315 lbs
Max Weighted Dip: 6 reps with 140 lbs
Max Weighted Pull-Up: 1 rep with 90 lbs (palms away); 1 rep with 120 lbs (hammer style)
Max Military Press: 165 lbs

Quoting: digitalmads Is it possible to set other goals than losing a certain amount of weight? It's so possible you don't even know it.
First of all, do you want to gain weight (i.e. muscle mass) or maintain your current weight and build strength?

"The Iron never lies to you. You can walk outside and listen to all kinds of talk, get told that you're a god or a total bastard. The Iron will always kick you the real deal. The Iron is the great reference point, the all-knowing perspective giver. Always there like a beacon in the pitch black. I have found the Iron to be my greatest friend. It never freaks out on me, never runs. Friends may come and go. But two hundred pounds is always two hundred pounds." - Henry Rollins
