I was just here at work sitting, and browseing thru some of the posts. It hit me how many people out there are totaly at the end of their ropes trying like hell to lose weight and getin shape. That is what makes this site the best one out there.

For each person at the begining of the journey, there is one person here who was in the exact same position. I mean think about it, there is someone on FT that was fat, skinny, in bad health etc just like you. They made it and so can you. That is what kills me about those that post and are pissed off when no one answers. I mean you can get free, let me say that again FREE first hand knowledge of what works! This site is full of those that only want to help.

I had 8 years experience before coming here. In the last 5 years I have learned so very much. I am totaly hooked to this place and I hope it never dies or changes its message.
I just want each person on here to know that with a little hard work and some research you can make your goals reality!

Rings so true. There is so much garbage and hype out there it is not funny. Some folks do not want to take solid advice, and will keep asking the same question till they get someone to answer it the way they want(a preconcieved notion). This only leads to more wasted time, and eventually realizing what we say here is what really works. No hype, just facts, down to earth process.

I also agree!!! This site and all the wonderful people on it are the main reason I've been able to make excellent changes in my life and stick with them. I've also rediscoverd my love for fitness. I think you just have to want it bad enough. Looking for a quick fix is setting you up to fail from the start. Besides the reward is sooo much sweeter if you've worked hard for it:) My heartfelt *Thank You* to FT for being there to guide me when I needed it most:love:

I took some time off from weight training (not exactly by choice) and as soon as I was ready to get back into it, I came back to FreeTrainers.

Besides, there's soooo much garbage on other forums.
