We have alot of new persons join the forum from time to time seeking assistance. We currently have regular members trying to reach their personal goals.

With this mind. In the spirit of "common good", a regular member that is knowledgeable of diet and fitness (no trainers allowed), could (one on one, on the board, through PM's, and E-mail, etc) work with another member (new or a regular member) in training and dieting to achieve certain goal milestones. They would be paired with a person with simular goals, etc.

This "common member pair then would square off in a competition" with the other with a realistic time frame, with periodic updates, and an end date.

What do you think? We could set some rules of engagement, and assist in sparking the fire in each other, and work together to help one another with our goals. It is possible the "closeness" of the one on one assistance could "work" much spirit with the goal directed person.

I think (other than the prize of getting closer to or reaching one's goal) there should be a prize of some sort. What that can be I don't know. It doesn't have to be apart of it, but it was just a thought.

I don't know if anyone is willing to spend the free time necessary to assist another like this, as it would require some extra free time. But, I thought I would throw this out there and get your thoughts.

We had something like this, that the forum provided. But, the difference is that the member is getting one on one assistance. The person working with the new or regular member has to be disclosed.

Any hoot, it was just a thought (and, yes, I didn’t blow up thinking about it, be quiet! )


Best regards,

And good luck to both AIM and GT!!

When i drink, I eat (munchies). On top of that, the alcohol took all desire out of me to do anything except sit on my butt.

Since I'm not working now, money is fairly tight and I doubt I'll be able to pull off the v-diet right now. Unless we (collectively, all of us) could find a supplement company to sponsor me, now, theres an idea!!! So, for now it is clean eating with a lot of bike riding and soon some weights.

Thanks for all the input and encouragement. I'm off to ride my bike here in a couple of hours. The goal for the day is 15 miles.
