Nutrition student believe it or not and I need to lose the weight I gained over the last 2 years in college so I can quit wearing the same 4 outfits. Just need some people that will help me stay motivated and that I can be accountable to. I am in grad school in a new city. I found this website and thought it would be a great tool to use while getting this done. I would love to help anyone out too! I am committed and will definately see this weight loss thing out.

Hi Lanie
Like you I have only recently joined the site, for pretty much the same reason as yourself.
I have found Traineo members to be an invaluable source of information, motivation and general support.
Welcome, and enjoy.

I'm so proud of my abs....so I had to post them! Been weight training pretty seriously for the past 4 mos and I'm finally noticing some definition. Still have a way to go to get the much desired six pack, but off to a good start!

Hi Lanie! I'm currently in my dietetic internship right now! Did you do an internship yet or go straight for your masters? I plan on doing the masters part time after the internship. Anyhoo, I'm pretty new to this site too, but its awesome. Everyone is so helpful. From your pic you look great, but I think the best motivation if you're looking to lose is that we as dietitians are role models. How can we tell people how to eat healthy and exercise if we don't do it ourselves? Base your diet on fruits, veg, and whole grains. I know how crazy life is being a student so I buy a lot of frozen veggies and add rice or whole wheat pasta for a quick dinner. Or I'll do scrambled eggs and kashi waffles, baked potato topped w/ salsa, broccoli and fat free sour cream.....all simple and easy stuff b/c i don't have time to cook and clean up big dinners and study! And I used to take walks around campus during breaks when the days were too packed to fit in the gym. Hope I helped a little bit - Good luck to you

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.

Welcome Lanie! I've been here just over a month and a half and have found it a wonderful community for not only support but information! Feel free to ask any questions, or let us know when you're having a lazy day and we'll remind you how much better you feel after a good workout
Good Luck!

Looking to add some muscle over the next few months. Trying to get in those calories and focusing on the compound lifts. We'll see how it all goes :)

Welcome and good luck in the weight loss goals!
Remember its the little things that help every day! (Such as taking the steps at work, or parking a little farther away from the door)
