Hey all, Im new to traineo, so I thought I would inrtoduce myself and put some broad goals down so it's in writing, atleast sort of so.
Im 6 foot tall and roughly 20o pounds. Im probably closest to the heaviest I have ever been, especially being out of Athletic and basketball in high school. Im not lookin to diet or become really tiny, I just want to be healthy and fit, and I would like to be around 145 or 150 pounds, because I remember being tht and I was pretty fit, for me anyways.
I'm not new to exercise or anything, it's just really hard for me to get a routine down and stick with it everyday, especially now that Im in my first year of college, I find it really hard to find time.
Anyhow, just saying hi. If anybody has any suggestion or tips, they'd be greatly appreciated! Thanks so much!

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: 240, 235, 230, 225, 220, 215, 205, 200, 195, 190
I will reassess my goals after I have met the above goals.

It sounds vaguely familiar. I think I might have passed through it on my way to Dallas once...not sure though.

Hey Tex, I've been where you've been. Straight out of high school, playing sports every day for a couple of hours. You can eat whatever you want, or I could anyway. In college, I felt like I didn't have any time, but I really just had more things available to do. You've just gotta commit to it. So good luck!! And welcome!
