David Mackey traineo Newbie Posts: 5 David Mackey I'm a Network Engineer for Collages.Net Inc. as well as a Youth Minister at my local church, Calvary Community Church of Penndel. I founded Informed Networker (www.informednetworker.com), a social news site for Information Technology Professionals.	# Posted: 22 Jun 2008 06:02 Hi all. My name is Dave Mackey...and I figured I'd drop in and introduce myself. I currently live in the Philly area, though am originally from outside of Albany in New York (almost in the Catskills, but no one knows the name of my little town, so Albany is a good place of reference). In any case, I'm currently employed as a Network Engineer for Collages.net Inc. and also run my own business for Information Technology Professionals called Informed Networker. I lead a youth group at my church and have been married for five years. At my peak I weighed in at around 195. I now weigh in at 188 give or take one. I'm working my way back down to 170 - though I am looking forward to hitting even 180. I am an introvert...I enjoy reading, watching movies, studying theology, history, and science, as well as computer wargaming.
Patrick Boyle traineo Regular Posts: 63 Patrick Boyle I'm a student. A Writer. A Musician. A Hanger-outer. A beginning Rock Climber. Looking to Lose 25-ish pounds. If you read this, send me a message and be my friend. I'm incredibly shy, but incredibly friendly.	# Posted: 22 Jun 2008 07:13 Hey Dave! Weight-wise, I'm in the same boat as you. If you're 5' 11" then we could practically be the same person. Although I have a bit more hair (girlfriend won't let me shave it). But yes, welcome to Traineo. Lots of fun. Lots of logs. Nice people. Good advice and such. Good luck on your goals and whatnot. And lurk the forums. It's cool to see new people posting actively. I just became a regular visitor myself, and I feel like sometimes the same 20 people answer everyone else. But yes. Have fun. Stay fit. And again, good luck and welcome.
Rachael M Fitness Guru Posts: 1974 Rachael M 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. Basic info: 5'9", 22 years old, mechanical engineer :)	# Posted: 23 Jun 2008 18:04 Hey Dave! Welcome to Traineo. I'm one of the 20 people he mentioned. I love Traineo and chatting and helping people out so I respond to a lot of threads (if I know what I am talking about). Good luck on the weight loss journey!
Debbie Meier traineo Regular Posts: 43 Debbie Meier I am a 51 year old wife, mother and grandmother who is in need of help in this weight loss battle. Behind this smile, is a sadness that comes from being overweight and inside hating myself. I am tired of pretending that it doesn't matter, because it does. I hate looking in the mirror, trying on clothes, and not knowing if I will live long enough to see my kids and grandkids grow old. Out of all the things I can do, and work so hard to do. This is the one thing, I fail at, day in and day out. Maybe through some daily or weekly motivators , I can achieve this dream of mine to lose the weight, and not feel so alone.	# Posted: 23 Jun 2008 21:00 Hi Dave, I am new to Traineo, only a week, but I too am one of those people. I live just outside Buffalo, NY, so I know where Albany is. I like the motivation and encouragement that I feel when someone answers a thread, so I feel people might like and appreciate the same. So I answer some too. I like meeting new people and finding myself accountable to others, then its easier to not want to cheat. But if you do, they are here to encourage you to get back on track. Welcome to this site, Hope you enjoy the threads, the encouragement and the fun. Like Rachael said, good luck on your new journey. Blessings, Debbie
