Amy Liz traineo Newbie Posts: 4 Amy Liz I need to finally do something about this extra weight.	# Posted: 12 Jan 2007 08:09 I'm a college freshman that didn't gain the freshman 15 her first year. I gained it the summer before during a bout of Mono that took me out for 12 weeks. Funny how the sickness that makes everyone else lose weight made me gain 20 lbs. I was a huge athlete in high school and I guess the sudden stop in activity really threw my body out of wack. It's been a struggle these past few months but I'm finally ready physically and mentally to tackle this thing. I hope things are well for everyone else and I hope that we can all celebrate out healthy selves together in the future. Amy
Chereen Harding traineo Fanatic Posts: 166 Chereen Harding Okay, on to diet number 5! This month: Neanderthin. Previous loses are as follows: January, G I Lean ( 4.3kgs ); February, The Hacker's Diet ( 4.5kgs ); March, Johnson UpDayDownDay Diet ( 2.1kgs ); April, YOU: On A Diet ( 700g). It seems all these diet switches are working. It appeals to my desire for novelty and means I can try diets I never would consider for the long-term. That, and I get to play around collecting data in spreadsheets - always a good thing if you need some work avoidance. Honestly, this is quite fun.	# Posted: 12 Jan 2007 14:57 Nice to meet you Amy!
Jennie W Fitness Guru Posts: 477 Jennie W I am 29 years old and have grown passionate about fitness and health! Overall, I have lost and kept off a little over 40 pounds, and I have about 20 or so more that I would like to take off. This last year has been tough and distracting in many ways, and I am back to work now! I am revisiting Traineo, because this site and the people here were instrumental in helping me lose my original 40 pounds so I am back! I regret that because of time constraints I won't be able to be AS active in the forums as I used to, but I will certainly try to stay in there and reconnect with old friend as well as make new ones. My fitness goals remain the same as before as I haven't achieved them yet: *GOAL 1 = 140 lbs Target Date = 7/31/08 Date Met = TBD CURRENT FITNESS GOALS: Run a 5K, improve flexibility enough to do the splits, be able to do 50 pushups in a row, be able to do a pull-up, learn to do a hand stand and then hand stand pushups. :)	# Posted: 12 Jan 2007 22:59 Welcome Amy! I hope that you do well with your progress. We are happy to have you here. Jennie
Stephanie Q traineo Fanatic Posts: 110 Stephanie Q Hi! I am trying to lose my freshman 25. I am trying to lose 30 pounds to get back to my original weight. At the same time, I want to be lean and toned. I enjoy activities like running on the treadmill, doing the elliptical and dancing.	# Posted: 13 Jan 2007 12:03 Hey Amy! You should join the group for college students! I also gained weight...like 30 lbs during first semester of freshmen year. I have lost some about 7 lbs so far, ever since I got home for Christmas break. I started droping the pounds and won't stop till I reach my target weight. I am happy you are ready to tackle it becuase trust me, IT IS POSSIBLE!!! If you need me as a motivator, I will be happy to be one! Stephanie
