One Year 19 Lbs lost.

For December 07 to December 08 the job is to lose another 17 lbs.


--
Coming up for nearly a year of Traineo. 22 lbs lost, 13 to go!

What a year! I want to thank Traineo and it's members, and my doctors and friends, and gym, and my walking and running training partner -- my dog -- who all have have been a big part of my recovery from a bad case of pneumonia last August, from high blood pressure in May and June, and support through herniated cervical discs in July August and the present.

Somehow, its been possible to keep the faith and keep going through the neck and arm pain, but even on some of those bad pain days, getting the exercise at the gym, on a C25K run, on a bike ride, or in the surf helps make it bearable.

A year ago -- at least sports-wise, for life is altogether another thing -- I was losing my sense of identity as a surfer and windsurfer, gaining a sense of identity as a cyclist, a runner, 9 months later reentering the surf, losing my ability to ride ... things came and went between hospital visits.

At times, all those things were stripped away -- and just to be able to walk down the block was an accomplishment. There were recoveries and sometimes just advil and bullish efforts.

It's good to be back in the surf and on the bike sometimes, neck/shoulder/arm pain notwithstanding.

My thoughts go out to all those Traineo members out there fighting their own health and spiritual battles...you know we are here in this small way.

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 been working out regularly since Sept 07. I've been here several times in the past BUT this time the change is going to last a LIFETIME!!

I am the mother of a ten year old competitive figure skater (which takes alot of my time). I work fulltime and my hubbie works away. Time is a challenge!!!

I would like to lose 20lbs by July 1.

I resolve to:
Short term (by June 1, 2008):
1. Get back on track after my vacation in Cuba (April 7 - 16, 2008)
2. cardio 5x/week including trying to get back to running if my achillis tendon will ever heal!
3. weight train 3-4 x per week
4. Drink 64 oz water per day (this will be the biggest challenge!)
5. Obtain a Normal BMI (154 lb)!

Midterm Goals (by July 1, 2008):
1. Continue with short term
2. Try to increase mileage to run a 10 km race around Canada Day (July 1, 2008)
3. Try to find a 10 km race to run between June 15 - July 15, 2008
4. Obtain goal weight (currently set at 150 lb but maybe 144 lb) - BMI around 23
5. Continue weight training

Long term (By March 31, 2009):
1. To still be at this in 12 months time (the exercise and health habits not the weight loss part!)
2. To maintain a BMI of around 23!
3. To run a half marathon...if all works out...Myrtle Beach Half Marathon Feb 2009

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.

Goal: Lose 35lbs before Cardio King

I work for a health care industry. I love tennis and running. I'm engaged to an amazing man, getting married November 1sh 2008. I am excited to lose weight and improve my heart (I have heart disease).

Short term goals:
1) measure my bodyfat %
2) complete 20 lb challenge
3) more consistent workout schedule (DONE)
4) phase from 2% milk down to 1% milk (DONE)
5) lose 30 to 40 lbs by my birthday (May 30th)

Long term goals:
1) Be able to run 3 miles again
2) Play tennis again on a regular basis
3) Reach my goal weight
4) Look great, healthy and confident for my wedding
5) Maintain a healthy lifestyle in order to have a baby

I'm a 40 year old mom, coach, trainer and a lover of life. I've been toting around extra pounds for most of my life, and after uncovering some of the "why"s, I'm ready to SHED! This is going to be the most amazing summer EVER!!

I'm a slappy geek (IT Systems Analyst at work, Gadget lover at play) and ready to do something to change my state of slappiness...time to de-slappify myself.

Unfortunately, my love for all things tech is, by it's nature, a very sedentary lifestyle which has lead me down the path of being slappy (overweight/obese, in case you were curious). After having three different doctors strongly urge me to lose weight and a blood pressure reading of 190/110...this new path became an absolute must.

I've joined the Weight Watcher ranks and found it to be a great gateway to my 'lifestyle change'. It has been a tremendous help to reducing my calories, while helping get in my daily intake of fruits, vegetables, calcium, water, omega-3's, etc...

As for fitness, I have been using my eliptical trainer at home because running outdoors was a little harsh on my knees. This has helped to ease my hand off the TiVo remote and onto the home exercise equipment. I now watch digitally recorded shows while huffing and puffing. =P

I look forward to meeting new and interesting people on here and finding new 'thinspirations' and motivators.

I need to get back to 180lbs... I was almost there a few months ago! (I fell off the weightloss band wagon!)

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: 235, 230, 225, 220, 215, 205, 200, 195

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

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.

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.

I am a huge nerd! I love computers, my wii, the xbox and action movies. Battlestar Galactica is my favourite tv show. I obsess about music and love bands like Muse, NIN, A Perfect Circle, Metric and The Bravery. I love to talk, and hopefully this website will help keep me motivated!

I'm a 35 y/o married mom of 2...getting back into shape after having a little girl 6 months ago!

I love to eat. Carbs is my weakness link that I always lose control in front of it.

I started running for fitness in 2007. Ever since I finished the 1st marathon (San Diego RnR 2007), I am addicted to running.

I started traineoing in Nov 2007. I have reached my goal weight in Jun 08 already. But, now, I don't care much about my weight. I care about it only if it affects my running performance.
