Born and raised in Saint Petersburg, Florida.

I currently weigh 246lbs. I figure to maintain I need 2460 calories a day. I am attempting to lose 2 Lbs. a week. So you take your maintain amount multiply by 7days. Subtract 7000 calories thats 2lbs. and divide that by 7 and you get my daily intake of 1460 calories. That has gotten me to where I am now. 71.4lbs lighter than I was just 9months ago. This was with little to no exercise so I would imagine you would have to increase your intake if you exercise.

I would turn around and use that for fuel. Don't let them tempt you or make you feel pressured. After all you are the ones making your life better. I get it all the time but once I explain to them what I have done they seem to shut their trap.



Edit: I also packed up my kitchen and gave all the stuff I shouldn't eat anymore to a family that could use it more than I could.

I weigh myself everyday when I wake up after I use the restroom and before I eat anything. It seems to keep me motivated. My weightloss is still continuing because of diet change not exercise. So I could only imagine what would happen if I could dedicate myself to exercising.

Your half the man you used to be lol. I mean that in a good way. Keep going!

Yes I watch ninja warrior all the time with my friend Cory. I would like to try out that course some day.

Ok but now i have gotten reports saying that everyone i know has met their goal.

I carry the urban ninja video on my tmobile dash. I play it when I need to. Also have the song and video on my zune.

Okay I just recently saw the movie. I immediately went out to novie stop and pulled it for $10. Very good movie and most definetly a gem!

I am at a new location http://ahealthystep.blogspot.com/

A recipie Section sounds really good. Not in a forum setting and make it all user submited would be cool. A reason to use it more than once a day would be nice. I am a windows mobile user and would like to see a traineo mobile type site. Long term and short term goals. Still kind of wating on a food journal.

I just got my htc excalibur what a sweet phone. It runs windows mobile 5 and soon 6. It uses portable internet explorer and i cannot update my weight. Maybe you could make the site more compatable or make an alternative mobile site. Maybe a java app?



edit: well i was able to post this

I am extremely determined to do this so I will definitely begin training as soon as possible. I am already very flexible I should think that comes in handy.

Lol as silly as it sounds this really is what motivates me I want to be able to do this stuff. Running, jumping, and flipping I wanna do it all. I met my first goal I am down from 320Lbs. My highest weight ever to 249Lbs. in just five months I want to thank everyone here for inspiring me and motivating me as well! By the way here is a link to the video of what an urban ninja is.

The zune I love mine so far!

I love naps!!! They feel so nice and refreshing!

Not in my area!

Yeah I have huge thighs...well I think I do but at least they are proportional I guess.

The Splinter Cell series, FEAR, Counter-Strike Source, Halo, The Need For Speed Series, The Battlefield Series, The Rainbow Six Series, World Of Warcraft, The Ghost Recon Series, Thief: Deadly Shadows, Guild Wars, Enemy Territory, The Call Of Duty Series, Half Life Series, and various others. I used to be a huge console fan but one day I picked up a keyboard and mouse and haven't looked back. However I did purchase an XBOX 360 controller which I love to use on racing games and recently on Splinter Cell: Double Agent.

I found this on the web for my stats of

Height - 6'1"

Age - 23

Weight 276Lbs

Sex - Male



They say I should weigh 144Lbs.-189Lbs. I have seen tons of places tell me between 185-190 is there any truths to these so called calculators? My friend at work says I'd be skin and bones at 185Lbs.

Wow thats awesome! Congrats! Very nice legs wouldn't worry about shorts.

Well most of my life I have been "Fat" But I mostly remember being made fun of from middle school on. I weighed 250Lbs. around the age of 13 I want to say. I was always eating I loved food. Then I got to age 18 and weighed 320Lbs. I got married at the age of 21 started to lose a little I went down pant size. Then my wife decided to leave me in July of this year (2006) and I had enough of being "Fat" plus I found Traineo I decided to change my diet learn some stuff about the foods I used to eat and now am sitting at 275Lbs I feel great and people keep motivating me. I hope to weigh 250Lbs in February when I turn 24. I am going to buy a new digital camera soon so that I can see the changes that everyone else sees.



Wish me luck for turkey day!

How bad is turkey? I already know that 90% of the dishes served on Thanksgiving are heavy.

Very nice suggestion I as well would like to see this implemented.

I sorta agree it's a little weird to weigh 274.6 and be told that I weigh 275lbs lol.

Hmm I don't usually have to pay to listen to my music. I would try if I didn't have to pay.

Hmm never really looked at it that way. Well maybe they would have to just redo some of their menu offerings or the way they present the food? I would assume that not a ton of people would even care but I don't know. I mean If I knew the stuff I do know as a kid I would not be in the condition I am in. While growing up I would have not eaten out so much or made better choices.

Just read this off the wire at digg. I think this is great and that the whole world should do this.

Well there is my first swing at it. lol I am such a noob.

Yes then you can stare at my signature lol. I just made it this morning. I will work on a traineo userbar today as well.







Oops for got my border lol.
