George T traineo Newbie Posts: 10 George T This member has no personal statement yet!	# Posted: 10 Jan 2007 19:19 New year... new resolutions... I'm new here and initially I just wanted to keep track of my progress, but I'm falling in love with the helpful and supportive community. Also, been really encouraged by how much people are changing their lives. I used to be pretty athletic in high school and early college. But I've been struggling with depression in college and early career. Smoked, drank, ate poorly, didn't work out, slept poorly... Now, I'm really trying to change my self-image and my self-confidence. My goal is to just lose some fat and feel better about myself. Hopefully, get more energy too. If you don't mind, we can help motivate one another. Just let me know.
Dave O traineo Fanatic Posts: 159 Dave O Hey, I'm a lot like you...I need to lose weight. Started at 332 last year and my goal is 190-200. Since we're in this together, I'm asking for an agreement. If you agree to motivate me, then I will absolutely commit to not wasting your time nor energy, to take your tips and motivation seriously and of course reciprocate to ANYBODY out there that is looking for an honest, candid and sincere motivator while changing their lifestyle. Do we have a deal? (Handshake and a pat on the back!) My podcast/blog is really just a way for me to remain accountable for my weekly progress and for once and for all change my life FOREVER. I hope that I didn't bore you, but a profile (to me) is something that you can read, understand where I'm coming from and hopefully have a good, clear mental snapshot as to who is behind the typing. I hope to help as much as possible as well as get valuable tips and support from this site. Thanks for reading and I hope that you'll come to me when you need motivation or a little kick to get you going. Man, my fingers hurt. My goal weight is per month, NOT the overall goal. I find that monthly goals are a lot more motivating and recognizable rather than saying "I need to lose 90 pounds or so". Each month, my goal will change. BTW, my monthly goal is at least 8 pounds loss. Peace and lets get going!	# Posted: 11 Jan 2007 15:07 Jouji, welcome to Traineo. It truly is a unique place as we're all here with an underlying "aura" of wanting something. Whether it's to just start walking, maintain great weight or like me...to lose 100 pounds. The people are great and you can communicate in more ways than one (private messages, comments, forum postings and even a new IM applet). Dave
