thierry Laskart traineo Newbie Posts: 9 thierry Laskart I quit the booze and the cigarettes (well, on a regular basis, I still enjoy a good bourbon once in a while), forfeited junk food and sodas, and went back to run, now I want MORE! And lose those last 5kg to be able to run my first Semi Marathon in a decade :)	# Posted: 8 Jan 2007 16:37 Hello everybody A hell of an initiative Elisegettingslim ;) (see the suggest section) I'm brand new on the site, just finished editing my profile, but a little message is a bit warmer I guess. I haven't been the healthiest person around, smoking and partying a lot during my 20's, but I quit the bad habits and went back to my old love for distance running and outdoor sports (that I never really stopped). I feel at 33 years old more fit and healthier than say 8 years ago, and want to keep it that way, and improve both my health and my fitness, with one long term objective, finishing an iron-man triathlon, and in 10 weeks, running my first semi-marathon in a decade.
Nad g traineo Regular Posts: 30 Nad g I've stopped smoking febuary first 2006. Since then, I've gained 25 pounds..ouch. My metabolism is alot slower now. I have been eating everything I wanted with no limit's, no wonder I gained weight. I let myself do that so I could stopped smoking and it work..Now that I'm a true no smoker, I want to loose my weight. I'v already lost 9 pounds since a couple of months and am eating very well since then and doing exercice at least 4 times a week for a period of 30 minutes..Now that I've lost 9 pound, it seems that I've stopped loosing weight..I'm still exercising the same and eat now between 1200-1600 calories a day.	# Posted: 8 Jan 2007 18:55 Congratulation for all your accomplishments Brake a leg for you semi-marathon!

Elise Marie traineo Newbie Posts: 9 Elise Marie :) smile when all else fails, and especially when it doesn?t :)	# Posted: 8 Jan 2007 21:48 Thanks, thierry. Good to hear about you. . I reckon it´s very clever setting the intermediate goal of 10 weeks. ;). All the best! As for me, I´ve been overweight since I began high school, and now that I´m finished high school I´ve decided enough is enough (or too much, in my case :P) and it´s time to start doing more exercise and eating less. Just a healthy lifestyle. Hopefully some more people introduce themselves as they come along. .
Anna Laskowska traineo Newbie Posts: 1 Anna Laskowska Colorado girl transplanted to Florida. Looking to firm up, tone up and lose those last five lbs.	# Posted: 8 Jan 2007 22:17 New here as well! I lost 25 lbs since 2003, and I'm battling to get off the last 3-5 lbs, as well as maintain the weight loss. Holidays were rough, to put it mildly. SO much cheese and wine and bread..so little time to exercise.... thierry - congrats on setting the half-marathon goal! I've been toying with the idea myself. Mostly I run 10K's and a couple 5K's. Having a race to run helps me stay motivated in eating well and exercising for sure. I'm finishing up my twenties on a healthier note than I started them as well! Elise - Very nice to hear the rational "healthy lifestyle" in your comment. That's how I lost weight - it takes a long time, and it's not always easy, but lifelong commitment is the way to go. I tried diet pill, I tried Atkins, and all that did was cause the inevitable weight re-gain...bad bad bad. Are you going to college now? My college had a great free gym that I loved. The good ol' days...feeling old...;) Nadine -I love your wolf pic..so cute. Anna
