Hello,
My name is Vanessa, I live in France and have been a member of Fitnessjournal for many years but I have never posted before. I am 31 with a 2 yo girl and I am aiming to get fit and healthy (if I drop 15kgs on the way - fine by me :) ).
So, I was just wondering how many of you are still around on Fitnessjournal?
Hope to hear from some of you soon!

Hello, Vanessa! I live in the US (Michigan). I have a 10-year old and a 14-year old. I'm also working to get fit and healthy. I'm currently training for a spring triathlon in August. And, I'm working on losing some weight and getting back into shape. I've let work stresses interfere with my exercise and am now working to get some healthy balance back this summer.
Best of luck with your training goals! |

Hello!
So nice to hear from you:)I am glad there still some people pottering around in the shadows of Fitnessjournal.
Sounds like we have similar goals (except for the triathlon -- you're much braver than me) and I wish you all the best!
Take care
Vanessa |

I'm still here. Hello, Ladies, it's wonderful that you want to be healthy. it's one of the most important gifts you can give your children. A healthy mom! just imagine! I am 54 and just now, I'm feeling healthy. But, I am nowhere close to being able to call myself an athlete and would love to drop another 6 pounds or so. I walk nearly 12 pounds a week. My passion is hiking the Appalachian trail. how will you find time to get your activities in your schedules? |

Hi ladies! I live in Las Vegas and I have two children, ages 2 1/2 & 10 months. I fit my workouts in before the rest of the house gets up, it's the only time I have. It works well though! I am training for my first half marathon and my 4th sprint triathlon, in October and November. :) |

Hi Corrina! Hi Loretta! Hi Christophe!
I wanted to fit my workout before the rest of the house wakes up but I simply can't pull myself out of bed... I got eveything prepared though: bought DVDs (Jillian Micheals ones), a large foam mat to dampen the noise from the workout, a step, weights etc etc etc.
So, finally I have signed up in a really nice gym only 5 min away from work and I got at lunchtime. It's a bit of a rush but it's the best way to optimize my time..
I totally admire you Loretta for having enough mental strength up to get up and work out in the morning. With two little ones you must be so busy!
Christophe, we don't live far from each other, I am in the Yvelines but I work on the Champs Elysées.
How come you chose fitnessjournal?

Question, why did you choose fitness journal?
An on-line friend sent me an invitation 6 1/2 years ago now, and I've been a member ever since. it's really worked well for me. I may have told you all that I have a crushed pelvis from a car accident 28 years ago. Instead of choosing to let that define me, I have remained active, probably, I could have been more active, aw well. Any way, every year for the past six, I've walked more than the previous year. in 2019, I walked 738 miles. I'm a bit behind for 2019, but confident I'll beat that number. Fitness journal has helped me stay focussed and motivated. I hope that this chat group will grow and that each of you will choose health today.

My name is Dean and I live in Southern CA. I've only been a member of Fitness Journal for less than 1 year. I've lost 42 lbs. since I started tracking my workouts and food intake on Fitness Journal. I believe that this is one of the reasons why I've been successful with my weight loss and training.
BTW, I'm also an avid triathlete. I use this program to track my training and the metrics keep me motivated. I've joined 2 sprint triathlons and 1 olympic distance one since I joined Fitness Journal. Currently, I was training for another one, but hurt my shoulder when I fell on my bike. |

Today I got my belated French Mother's day present (see attached picture) :)
And reading your posts I am thinking maybe I should train for a triathlon as well...
I am quite apprehensive doing any kind of competition.
How did your guys' first triathlon go?
