Samantha Cordell Fitness Guru Posts: 338 Samantha Cordell Success is not a race, be patient. Success leads to success. Success is always a work in progress. Success doesn't come to you--you go to it. Success is a journey, not a destination. Focus on the process. Some people dream about success... while others wake up and work hard at it. Success is achieved and maintained by those who try-and keep trying. Everyday is a good day to SUCCEED! If at first you don't succeed-try, try again	# Posted: 6 Mar 2008 04:35 What..you didn't b*tch slap her??? hehe... How annoying Sorry she ruined your meal!

Delve deep within yourself and take responsibility for your health and behavior. Ask yourself hard questions and face the truth of what needs to be done. Weight loss is not always easy or fair but you are the only one that can lose weight for you. Take a turn for the better!" Goals: 1) Lose ~45 pounds 2) Work out at least 6 days a week 3) Eat healthier consistently I will reward myself at the following weights: 240, 235, 230, 225, 220, 215, 205, 200, 195, 190 I will reassess my goals after I have met the above goals.	# Posted: 6 Mar 2008 06:02 I'm all for the slapping.
Glovia L Fitness Guru Posts: 833 Glovia L I love to eat. Carbs is my weakness link that I always lose control in front of it. I started running for fitness in 2007. Ever since I finished the 1st marathon (San Diego RnR 2007), I am addicted to running. I started traineoing in Nov 2007. I have reached my goal weight in Jun 08 already. But, now, I don't care much about my weight. I care about it only if it affects my running performance.	# Posted: 6 Mar 2008 06:55 Jen, take it as compliment. If I were you, I would say thanks. And then pointing to my body said I can handle it and I have room for them.
Clifford Chinn Fitness Guru Posts: 470 Clifford Chinn Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they haev to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is NOTHING. (I freakin LOVED that ad campaign)	# Posted: 6 Mar 2008 07:04 Quoting: malibublue If I were you, I would say thanks. And then pointing to my body said I can handle it and I have room for them. Quoted for truth. People who make comments like that tend to be insecure and are trying to bring you down, in my opinion, the best thing you can do to someone like flip it on them and show them how it doesn't bother you.
Spyke M Fitness Guru Posts: 387 Spyke M http://anotherfatguy.wordpress.com/ I'm looking at a total weight loss of over 130 lbs (60 kg for those of you in Europe like me...), from 150 kg to 90 kg (330 lbs to 198 lbs). I'm a 36 year old man and am REALLY tired of... well being tired. So far I've been training like a mofo, and have totally revisited my diet - so far so good, 1/3 of my goal HAS been met - YIPPEE!! Have met some great people here, and looking forward to meeting even more here on traineo - don't be afraid to bombard me with motivation - I'll take all you can give me :)	# Posted: 6 Mar 2008 07:26 I can't wait until I've lost my weight - A big lasagna sounds sooo good! On the other hand, my recipe for lasagna should probably be mentioned on the "20 worst foods" list. Human beings weren't meant to eat so much cheese! Oh yeah, did I mention that cheese is my FAVOURITE sin? Some of the other 7 deadly ones figure high on the list too, but cheese gluttony...
Mindy Lu traineo Regular Posts: 47 Mindy Lu I'm a dancer, just now learning how to take better care of my body! I'm also a foodie and an advertising professional - not sure which of the three I like best. I like snowboarding, calico kittens, collecting badass hoodies and sneakers, poker, crude humor, the fine arts, and colorful socks.	# Posted: 6 Mar 2008 08:07 spyke, cheese is my favorite too! it's so hard to resist...considering mac 'n' cheese is my ultimate FAVORITE food of all time.

BELT NOTCHES for 2008: - Mistressed the PULL-UP! - 2, 1.2km lake swims. Video of proper Squat form: http://www.traineo.com/11_5529_0.html	# Posted: 6 Mar 2008 10:00 Jen, When I was into lifting back in the day, and I'd be out chowin' down with a buddy and someone would make a comment like that, even if it was with a smile, I'd just make a bicep twitch, or my pecs jump up and say, "In training", with an eyebrow raise and that always shut 'em down. Got 'em thinking too sometimes too. ENJOY THE FEEDINGS!
Dean Grimshawe Fitness Guru Posts: 1182 Dean Grimshawe I work as a Health and Fitness Coach in England. I am looking to network with dedicated athletes and grow my knowledge in this area. Check out what I do at www.warriorcoaching.co.uk	# Posted: 6 Mar 2008 10:45 Quoting: jenngetfit wow, that is alot of food you are eating Quoting: jenngetfit what do you think i should have said to this Yes it is! But then I can get away with it cos unlike me you've got a lot of ass!! Maybe thats not the best thing to say but it would have been amusing for a second. At the end of the day if you want high performance you need a lot of the right fuel. You'll find these same people in 6 months time looking across and asking for more of what she's having.

Angie H Fitness Guru Posts: 718 Angie H I am using the Zone way of eating (www.drsears.com) to attain my target and increase my wellness.	# Posted: 6 Mar 2008 14:32 Simply put, that was quite rude of her.
Rob M traineo Regular Posts: 26 Rob M www.rmont.blogspot.com GOAL- 200 lbs by 9/2/08. GIT ER DONE!	# Posted: 6 Mar 2008 14:37 My wife made a 4-cheese mac n cheese last weekend. It was heavenly.
Derek Schultz Fitness Guru Posts: 258 Derek Schultz I've always been bigger. Maybe not classified as being fat because I carry it pretty well. But, well, I'm fat. There's no fooling myself. In January, months of hard work paid off as my wife got pregnant with what will be our first child. I had been exercising a bit until that point, but I decided to ramp it up a notch and get my weight to where I can be healthy and be around a long time for my wife and kid. I've been known to drop 40-50 pounds in 5 months or so on a few occasions, only to slowly gain that weight back over a couple years. This time is different. I know everybody says that and usually that statement doesn't come to fruit, but I've got that incentive...becoming a daddy. Got a blog rolling- rokandroll.blogspot.com I post on it a few times a week. Mostly fitness stuff. I try to be somewhat humorous. Check it out if you're REALLY bored.	# Posted: 6 Mar 2008 14:42 Quoting: jenngetfit then she started to stretch her legs across her cart. it was very strange. i was thinking lady, this is not a gym!! She probably didn't mean to do any posturing, she was maybe just airing out.

Jericho Kane traineo Fanatic Posts: 96 Jericho Kane I've been active my entire life. From growing up playing soccer, rowing in college, and seriously lifting since high school, I am not mystified over the exceedingly simple relationship between strenuous exercise and eating a sensible diet, and being fit. Current stats: Immersing myself into full-blown German Volume Training.	# Posted: 6 Mar 2008 15:53 Quoting: jenngetfit "wow, that is alot of food you are eating. what a big piece of lasagna!" That should be a point of pride to you, not an insult. You're eating to fuel yourself up for the self-inflicted beat down you're going to give yourself at the gym, so who cares if some random comes up to you and comments on your eating habits?

But then I can get away with it cos unlike me you've got a lot of ass!! Along the same line, I was going to suggest she nonchalantly say, "Yeah, I can eat whatever I want and don't gain a pound!"
Angie H Fitness Guru Posts: 718 Angie H I am using the Zone way of eating (www.drsears.com) to attain my target and increase my wellness.	# Posted: 6 Mar 2008 18:01 Quoting: Cynthesis Along the same line, I was going to suggest she nonchalantly say, "Yeah, I can eat whatever I want and don't gain a pound!" That was my first thought too! "Yeah, I eat like a pig and I have this great body. Geez, I'm just so lucky. I'm guessing the reason you look like that is because you can't eat this? "
Drew Bates traineo Fanatic Posts: 129 Drew Bates Here I am playing some Journey on my air guitar. I'm a 22 year old with lots of determination and discipline 6 months out of the year. Needless to say, I've fallen off the wagon again and it's about time to get back on.	# Posted: 6 Mar 2008 19:39 Perhaps she was jealous that you're able to eat a real meal. Sometimes people say stupid, stupid things. Don't take things to heart that a stranger says.
Rachael M The Master Posts: 2316 Rachael M I am a triathlete trying to lose some weight so I can improve my times. I love traineo and the very motivational people on here. Basic info: 5'9", 22 years old, mechanical engineer :)	# Posted: 6 Mar 2008 20:24 Sorry she ruined your meal, Jenn!! I am one of those people who probably comments too much too (not to random strangers so much in restaurants, but still) so not to defend her, but she probably didn't even think of it as a cut down. It may have been more of a Captain Obvious kind of thing. You should go back and eat it again with pride!
