T K M traineo Regular Posts: 57 T K M 20 year old college student here! I lost 50lbs. the summer of 2007, now I've gained some weight back due to stress and less time to exercise..and I NEED to drop it all back off! I'm coming back on here for help and support!	# Posted: 31 Dec 2007 04:55 - Edited by: tkylem Hey guys! I hope everyone has a wonderful, healthy, skinny, sexy New Year!!! I know everyone on here works very hard and it should be a great year for all of us @ traineo!!! but anyways... I know this isn't like a big tip or anything.. If you are making your drinks tomorrow night, anyone looking for a lower calorie drink that is still amazing, I highly recommend the 0 calorie on-the-go packs as mixers! I know it seems wierd.. but I tried the Raspberry Lemonade one and it tastes amazing and it's WAY better than a heavy calorie beer! Any of the fruity lemonade-like ones taste really good.. and you can mix it with water or with Sprite Zero.. whichever. Raspberry Lemonade = amazing. Alcohol added or not, it's so good. Just thought I'd throw that out there.. HAVE A GREAT NEW YEARS EVERYONE! I won't be going out tomorrow, but feel free to post any other ideas/mixes that won't hurt the diets!

Boot Camp for 4 weeks starting 5/12 Get out of the "obese" range on the BMI chart (185.5) Upcoming: Son's graduation in June (lots of family and friends visiting) 10K in September 2008	# Posted: 31 Dec 2007 04:59 Just keep in mind that for some reason, diet drinks make you absorb alcohol more quickly. You will get drunk faster when you mix with a diet drink, so be careful if you do! With that said, I really like the raspberry lemonade too! And have a GREAT New Year!

Dave Nicholson The Master Posts: 2094 Dave Nicholson I'm basically trying to get in shape and be healthy... diaryofthefatman.blogspot.com I like participating in sports but I want to be more competitive. Also I'm with Kevin Spacey from American Beauty - good reason :) I'm looking to lose about a hundred lbs in the course of a year, and basically to just consistently get better. And I love comments and messages, so keep 'em coming! I talk about goal setting a lot, how about I actually set some? Well it's time to revisit goals... I didn't do too well with my end of year plans, but learned some things and changed my plans up a bit as I went along. During the 5-7 weeks of the year, I was able to put on about 8-10lbs of muscle, and stay at the same actual weight. The plan is to start the Strong Lifts 5X5 program to supplement the Couch to 5K program, and that should last the next 8-12 weeks. I'm updating goals as well. Lowering cholesterol remains a goal, and I'll find out about that at the end of August. Been bouncing around a bit, but getting a little stricter again and will monitor that over the next 3-4 weeks. I feel poised to really lose some weight again, so I'm looking forward to the healthy eating and additional exercise.	# Posted: 31 Dec 2007 18:32 Guiness - only about 125 calories and slower to drink... not to mention less alcohol.
