*Favorite Exercise/Workouts: strength training, belly dancing, walking, and yoga.

*What are your fitness/health goals?
To become stronger, more flexible, and more more aerobically fit. I would ultimately like to maintain a weight of around 140-but I am in no hurry. I concentrate the most on athletic fitness. I also concentrate on eating as much of a natural diet as possible.

*What was the "trigger" or incident that made you decide it was time to lose weight and become more fit?

After I had my first child I weighed 200 pounds. The trigger to get fit was when I saw photos of me with her during a baby pageant. It tore me up to see how fat I was. I made it to goal and maintenance, and soon became pregnant again.
I hadn't even recuperated from his birth totally yet when he became very ill with pneumonia and aspirated lungs at a few weeks of age. He was in intensive care for a while and I was doing breathing treatments and such every couple hours for a while after his hospital release. Once that was all over with-I realized how worn out and fat I was. I was 211 pounds and tired and just worn out. I couldn't wear anything but housewife sweatpants. I knew I had to start taking care of myself, if I was going to take care of my children.

*What do you struggle with the most on this journey to health?
Binge eating/snacking

*What are three things in the area of diet/exercise you need to improve?
*Stop occasional binge eating/snacking

Noticing I have to *lift* my leg up to put on socks and shoes, I just can't pick it up on its own anymore, plus I get out of breath going up the stairs, thats not good...My husband is tall and thin so we look like a #10 when we walk together, I don't want that, I dont want people to see us and think what is such a good looking skinny guy doing with a fat chick like that....makes me sad (Although my husband likes a little more meat on the bones, he doesn't like real thin)

Age/Age Range:28

Family Life: married will be 1 year June 5th, no children from either of us

Occupation: paraeducator for special education

Hobbies and Interests: riding motorcycles, being with my family, being outdoors, boating, swimming, dancing at clubs , music, and just having fun!

Favorite Music: I like lots of different types...Slipknot, Disturbed, Saliva, Avril, rock and roll, some blues, Fleetwood Mac, The Doors, Nirvana, System of a Down, Drowning Pool...just about everything my husband hates!

Favorite Color(s): purple, silver, green

Favorite Exercise/Workouts: jogging, swimming, walking, dancing

What are your fitness/health goals? To be comfortable in my body. I am tired of feeling that my weight always hinders or holds me back on things that I really want to do. I would like to find a weight ( maybe 140-160) that I can maintain and enjoy being me.

What was the "trigger" or incident that made you decide it was time to lose weight and become more fit? I think what really did it for me was cleaning out my closet a few weeks ago. I found my "skinny" clothes and I realized that even though they aren't small to most people, I cant fit in them at all. They are size 14/16. It made me aware of how much I have truly gained, but also showed me that those clothes were loose at one time. I put my mind to it then and did it, so there is no reason that I can't do it now. Plus, I also did some soul searching and realized what I did wrong last time and why I regained weight.

What do you struggle with the most on this journey to health? Obssession over food and calories and binge eating.

What are three things in the area of diet/exercise you need to improve?
1) Drink minimum of 64 oz of water.
2) Work towards doing more weight training and toning.
3) Control binge eating and curb obsession with calories.

(Evil motivation ) Who do you want to look better than? : My husband's ex-wife. Although...I don't find her too terribly attractive.

What can you not wait to wear when you are at goal weight or size? hotpants...just kidding! Sexy jeans and a cute top that doesnt cover my belly.

Ok, I need a bit of motivation this week!

Screen Name: Forever42

Age/Age Range: 23

Family Life: Living with fiance and an annoying furry feline child. Planning on staying human child-free.

Occupation: Food science student

Hobbies and Interests: surfing the Internet, reading cookbooks, cooking, going to Disney oh, and food. I love food. Did I mention food?

Favorite Music: Adult contemporary Country, oldies, whatever's playing on the "mix" station, usually.

Favorite Color(s): Green

Favorite Exercise/Workouts: Elliptical (without arms), strength training, swimming

What are your fitness/health goals? To be happy in my body, mostly. I want to weigh what I weighed in high school, which isn't unreasonable for me - I want to weigh 135, which is 45 more lbs.

What was the "trigger" or incident that made you decide it was time to lose weight and become more fit?

This time around, it was that my "fat" jeans were too tight, and I was not going to waste money on "fatter" jeans. I was also starting to get embarrassed to go out in public. I had lost 40 lbs in the past but ended up gaining all but two back.

What do you struggle with the most on this journey to health? Exercise, definitely.

What are three things in the area of diet/exercise you need to improve? Eating more fruit, more cardio, more strength training

(Evil motivation ) Who do you want to look better than? : A friend of mine who, when she diets, ends up eating a net 400 cals a day and drops the weight quickly, but gains it all back.

What can you not wait to wear when you are at goal weight or size? A bikini! And a sundress!

Default

Screen Name: VermontMom, real name Holly

Age/Age Range: oh, over 40 (44)

Family Life: Married, to same guy, for 25 years. Two sons, 22 and 14. One huge furry Alaskan shepherd

Occupation: Pastry Baker

Hobbies and Interests: MOTORCYCLES, working out, mostly baking but some cooking, reading, gardening, motorcycles

Favorite Music: I am hopelessly stuck in the music of late '70's and 80's, lol, but I also like the girl groups of the '50's, early Elvis.

Favorite Color(s): Black studded leather (sorry! ) Black and dark deep colors, greens/burgundies.

Favorite Exercise/Workouts: anything by Gilad. I like weight training, I love muscles, I think a muscled woman is so sexy, strong.

What are your fitness/health goals? I would like to be a compact size 6, around 140, with definite muscle tone. I want people to be able to tell I work out. I would like enough bodyfat eliminated so I can actually see what non-fat legs and ankles look like. I do not want to see any rippling on the back of my thighs.

What was the "trigger" or incident that made you decide it was time to lose weight and become more fit? Nothing in particular; just felt time marching on and I was unhappy, tired all the time, sick of myself, jealous of nice-looking women.

What do you struggle with the most on this journey to health? Keeping my eating under control. I got to a comfortable size 6, weight 142, but have allowed some pounds to come back, due to lax attention to portion control and being accountable.

What are three things in the area of diet/exercise you need to improve? again, going back to realizing I FOREVER have to be vigilant; staying AWAY from white sugar/flour/cakey sweets; drinking my 64 ounces of water daily.

(Evil motivation ) Who do you want to look better than? : Anyone significantly younger than me

What can you not wait to wear when you are at goal weight or size? Is this limited to only one??? Leather chaps, with just sexy panties...at a motorcycle rally and a short denim skirt with heels.

thanks, aphil!

Default good morning all!!!

lyds39 (real name Lydia)
Age/Age Range:
turning 30 in 2 weeks!
Family Life:
A very large family but not very close and a fantastic fiance
Occupation:
Telephonist and Receptionist, poet and writer(still have not made any money but all good things happen to those who wait?) and AVON lady!!!
Hobbies and Interests:
I love reading, writing and music, once was a classical singer years and years ago but still have a fantastic appreciation for music!!! I enjoy anything to do with performance arts and alternative healing methods, I have done Indian Head Massage and Magnet Therapy... Oh yes and making chocolate truffles and sweet things!!! OH and most importantly - learning something new everyday no matter how insignificant it might seem to others.
Favorite Music:
I have a very ecclectic taste in music but pretty everything goes exept Doef doef music
Favorite Color(s):
Purple and pinks, well any colour really except gold
Favorite Exercise/Workouts:
none, but have started to see the benefits of Callanetics and am loving it but also realize that I will have to do it till my dying day!!! I do enjoy stolls and long walks, but no hiking, admittedly I have never learnt how to ride a bike and that seems like great fun I just know that the day I learn not only will I fall off countless times but I will probably break a leg or two!!!
What are your fitness/health goals?
To be fit and healthy, lower my cholesterol and to look good in all my clothes that don't fit me!!!!
What was the "trigger" or incident that made you decide it was time to lose weight and become more fit?
I had a fun day out with one of my mates to a photo session and when I looked at the photo's they had taken of me i was embarrassed - I never looked so big in my life before - I did not even look like a woman I looked like a 50 year old drag queen ( not my ideal look at nearly 30)
What do you struggle with the most on this journey to health?
I think the idea that there is no quick fix that I have to do this for the rest of my life, I want to start having babies in the next couple of years and do not want to be unfit and unhealthy for when they grow up - i want to be able to run around with them in the park and play with them without getting tired. Also knowing that I should have done this years ago - i know that things catch up to us very quickly and I feel guilty for having 'giving up' so soon in my early 20's. Another struggle for me is motivation, it just takes one thing to get me off the track so I need tons of that and nagging to make me keep an eye on what I eat and that I exercise everyday!!!!!
What are three things in the area of diet/exercise you need to improve?

(Evil motivation ) Who do you want to look better than? :

My current goal is to be able to wear my skinny jeans for my 30th birthday party and not feel that I am not allowed to breath the whole night. Ideally I would like to drop down a couple of dress sizes, I know it sounds alot but I am currently a 18/20 (was 22/24 in November) and want to be 12/14!!!!!!!!!! Lots of hard work ahead!!!
