NYCinephile . Fitness Guru Posts: 328 NYCinephile . My fitness regimen includes stationary cycling, light weight training and lots of walking around NYC. I'm a graduate of WeightWatchers and an enthusiastic advocate of its balanced approach to weight loss. I'm sure that I drink too much coffee and get too little sleep. :) My goals are to maintain my weight in a healthy BMI/BF % range and forestall the toll of advancing age. :) I think Traineo's established a great community and appreciate the support and information we share. You'll find me elsewhere on the Web at http://claimid.com/nycinephile	# Posted: 8 Nov 2006 14:40 Cross-posted from my 43 Things team. Tips from WeightWatchers
Brandon Wood traineo Fanatic Posts: 160 Brandon Wood My weight has gone up and down repeatedly in the last few years. I managed to lose a lot of weight before getting married 2 years ago, but have since gained most of it back. I hope to find new motivation on this site, and hopefully make some new friends. This time I want to lose weight and keep it off. I'm trying to not think of it as a diet, but as a change in lifestyle.	# Posted: 8 Nov 2006 17:30 Thanks for sharing this. I'm hopeful that I'll be able to "steady the scale" during the upcoming holidays. It's always a hard time of year to eat healthy, with all the delicious (but very bad) food around you.
Vrinda GetsFit traineo Fanatic Posts: 198 Vrinda GetsFit I am 39 years old. My goal is to be in the best shape of my life in my 40s, in terms of endurance and strength. I like weight training, cardio cross training (from treadmill running to kickboxing) and above all Yoga. I like music, movies, reading fiction, travel, exercise. I am vegetarian because I love animals. I love cats best.	# Posted: 8 Nov 2006 19:22 Americans are lucky. You have one big Fat-Trap Season. The rest of the year temptation is at sane levels and everyone can work the weight off, and even have some time to flaunt the new body before FTS comes again. In India we have many big festivals and many more small ones. And they all entail food that is terrible on calories and incredible on the taste-buds. We recently had Diwali (Hindu biggie-festival of lights) and Id (marks the end of the Muslim Ramzan fasting, another biggie) on consecutive days. Christmas is around the corner. Followed by the Hindu Harvest Festival in January. Everyone wants in on everything irrespective of religion. Do you think this accounts for Weight Watchers not launching in India yet? Every minute of exercise should count for twice the calories as compared to America to level the playing field.
Bill Robinson traineo Newbie Posts: 5 Bill Robinson I sit at a computer all day and it's really starting to get to me. I want to lose weight and mostly gain muscle.	# Posted: 9 Nov 2006 02:41 That's a very interesting comment Vrinda - I never really considered "FTS" for people in other countries. Any other international folks have their own worst (...most delicious) time of the year?
