Hi Blest,

I've just joined Traineo today and have been 'surfing' around it to see how other people use this site and what they've been able to achieve through it. You certainly seem to have achieved a lot (congratulations!). And you'd certainly win a Traineo Best Pic award if one existsed!

You're great inspiration for someone like me, who's just coming in and embarking on a new fitness journey.

Best wishes,
Neil

congrats! great job!!!

WOW! 80 Pounds in 10 months! That is amazing!! I didn't notice that until just now while I was reading some of your other posts! CONGRATS!!

Hi! I just notice that you had put a post on my page back in May! Thanks so much! How fabulous that you met your goal! Do you a have any secrets to share!

Congratulations and great job on accomplishing your goal! I'm curious how you did it. I had a baby 8 months ago and I'm finally serious about getting the weight off but I'm not sure where to start. I know the common sense things like eat healthier/less and exercise more but I'm so out of shape, exercising is intimidating and it's hard to stay motivated. I want to lose 40-50 lbs and a lot of the weight is in my middle area. Any pointers you have would be very appreciated! Thanks so much and again, GREAT job!

I think what you have done is amazing! Especially in only 10 months! I send a big congrats to you! I do have a question for you, though. I just started my journey about a month and a half ago but I have noticed that my body looks a little different in the mirror, even though the scales have stayed the same-did this happen to you as well? Also, it seems like all the weight is coming off of my chest and around my hips, did this happen to you also? I really can't wait until I see changes in my waistline. My pants fit a little funny, they fit around the waist, but are getting a little bit looser around my butt and hips/thighs. Thanks for listening and any info will be much appreciated, again, congratulations!

Wow!! Good job on your weight loss. *inspired*

How cool you lived in SC! Beaufort is so beautiful--it is like Charleston without the crowds, I bet you do miss it! And Greenville is so nice, too!
Thanks for your comment--nothing like weight loss to up that clothing budget category! :) Now go buy some more fun summer clothes! :)

amazing! you're so close!

Hi April! Thanks!

My group weight loss site is www.one-weigh-or-another.com

My personal site, which is about other stuff besides weight loss is www.blestwithsons.com

My third site is for parents of children with Asperger Syndrome - I doubt you need that one!

That is absolutely amazing! Good job at sticking to it! What are your other web sites? I would love to have more motivational places to visit.

Thanks!

April

Doing great - thanks for asking!! I just can't always keep up with all the logs. I run three websites of my own - one of which is a hoppin' group weight loss site - so I can't spend as much time on Traineo as I might like. ;-)

I'm about 6 pounds to goal....Woo Hoo!

And how are you?

Haven't seen an update in a while kiddo. How's it going?

Now how cool are we, with the same goal weight? :)

Thanks for your kind words. It's always nice to connect with other people going through the same trials and tribulations. And 60 pounds gone, wow! That's truly impressive. I've lost peanuts compared to that, and you should be really proud of yourself! These last few pounds can be really difficult, but we're getting there. When we arrive, we'll have to celebrate with an online water-toast or something. Maybe Gatoraide if we're feeling saucy. Ha!

Blest, great work. Awesome results.

Joining the chorus that's congratulating you!

If you have any before and after shots, please feel free to contribute them to our Flickr Group, Train(eo)ing for Fitness.

Good luck as you continue your program!

Thanks everybody! This is a great site for encouragement!!

You already look great. I hope you are feeling good too! And, I'm glad to hear that you are enjoying yourself; that's the way it should be.

I look forward to watching your progress.

Congrats on the 60 lbs down. Wishing you the best. Keep it up or should I say down.

Congrats on the 60 lbs. You look great! Keep up the good work.

Congrats on Losing 60 Pounds! That is a Terrific Accomplishment!
