Iris Wall traineo Newbie Posts: 14 Iris Wall Hello! My name is Iris. I'm a 28-yr-old mother to 2 beautiful little girls. I started my weight loss journey August 2006 at 200 lbs. And this September (2007), I am now down to 127 lbs. I am very proud of myself. I haven't been on Traineo in months. I was only on for a short period of time, and then lost internet connection for a little while, and then couldn't remember my username and password LOL. But now I'm back. I'd like to work on becoming a little more lean, maybe getting down to 120 lbs. Most of all I want to work on my stomache. So, starting tomorrow, Monday, Aug. 20, I'm going back to keeping a written food/exercise/feelings journal. Things I've done to get where I am today....I quit drinking sodas cold turkey, I cut way back on junk food, and I read the nutrition labels. I only eat the serving size. I only drink water and lots of it. I keep count of the calories going in and the calories I'm burning. I workout at the gym 4-6 days a week. And actually....I now work at a ladies fitness gym (since March 2007) and I'm working on getting cetified as a personal trainer. I love to tell my story and motivate others. It feels great and I just LOVE my job. I've taught one aerobic class on a whim to feel in for someone and may be teaching my own class by the end of 2007 or beginning of 2008. I find ways to motivate myself daily. I can never have enough! So I'm here, LOL But really and truly, I'd love to support and motivate anyone who needs it.	# Posted: 20 Aug 2007 12:24 I don't know if anyone here remembers me or not, because I was not on for very long. I lost internet connection for a couple of months, and then when I tried to get back on, I had forgotten my username and password. Anyway, my name is Iris. When I was here before, I was on my own weight loss journey. I started at 200 lbs last August (2006) and my goal weight was 135 lbs. I did get down to 129 lbs. last month. I've had a couple of tough weeks and have been eating like crap. My weight today is 136 lbs. I've set a goal to get to 120 lbs. by December. Basically, now, I'm working on toning my midsection. I want to melt the layer of fat over my abdominals and I know that takes major work and dedication. It's a lot of cardio and watching what you eat. Anyway, I have complete and total faith in myself, and know I can do it. I've come so far already and feel great! Since March (2007), I have been working at a ladies fitness gym and absolutely love it. One of my co-workers and I are always coming up with new ideas to motivate the members. I've even posted info about Traineo at the gym for the ladies to check ou. I'm also working on my personal training certification. Anyway, I'm back because I loved the way Traineo was set up and need help holding myself accountable for the next little journey. I love to motivate others, but also love to have motivation in return. So, I look forward to getting to know everyone!
