Ryan r traineo Newbie Posts: 1 Ryan r Trying to lose some lbs and get toned for Spring Break.	# Posted: 28 Jan 2008 22:29 Hi everyone ! My name is Ryan (I am a girl though) and I came to traineo to get further into shape and tone up for Spring Break in the short run and just overall fitness in the long run. I am 5'6 around 135 and in the past I have been running around 3 miles twice a week but now I am stepping it up and going to the gym as well as waking up early to do yoga. I am hoping this site can keep me motivated

Tara C traineo Regular Posts: 60 Tara C 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!	# Posted: 31 Jan 2008 17:46 Quoting: rach_1623 I still can't figure out how Tim got the actual picture into the post and not just a link. BB Codes! [code] [img]paste the link to the image here. You can upload it at imageshack.us or any other photo upload site[/img] [/code] (ps. Dont use the [code] [/code] part.. just the img tags. The code tags allow the img tags to print instead of try to display an image) Here is a helpful link to anyone who wants to learn more about bbcode. I like this one because it is easy to read and shows examples. You can also do a search for "bb code" in any search engine for more help.

I'm new too! I signed up to Traineo in may.. and then completely neglected it. However, I'm back, and pumped up, and ready to loose inches. I'm at 190 pounds now (down from 194 four days ago woo woo!) and I would like to loose another 35 pounds by August. I'm excited to get started and keep going. I look forward to the motivation this web community provides.

Dave Nicholson The Master Posts: 2094 Dave Nicholson 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.	# Posted: 31 Jan 2008 18:03 Congrats and Welcome! I'm sure you'll find Traineo to be as helpful and informational as the rest of us have

I think Spyke is going to win this challenge in about 3 weeks, though

Cardio King Fitness Guru Posts: 1784 Cardio King 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.	# Posted: 31 Jan 2008 18:26 Welcome newbies! I keep missing threads... I think it was Ara that said your best bet for getting motivation from this site is to be active in the forums. Then you start building relationships and finding yourself accountable to others. It's always a great feeling to get on traineo and post a thread about how you kicked butt on the elliptical or how you won a battle with the scale. 35lb challenge winner will more than likely be Spyke. His prize: his head on Britney Spears' body. Rachael, make it so.
