[mrsardesch]

[rachellouisediary]

great goals!!!!

[JiggleFreeForMe]

Fan of this Video!

[Ericairn]

So, this video is so intense. LOVE IT.

Going to bed everynight with sore muscles...that's such a good one. Sore muscles are such a freaking good feeling. I definitely need to kick the exercise up. I really like the idea of exercising while supporting/watching youtube. I find it so hard to keep up with everything on here. BUT, I'll make it!

Also, your intro is crazy cool

[magicineverydaylife]

brilliant! love Ur vid!!! :)) great idea with exercising while watching all these videos :) I'll definately try it :)

[JanoelT]

Loved the intro, it was amazing! Great cue card, and awesome motivational words.

[19george]

Wow, you are a force to be reckoned with! Thanks for your support! Good luck this week and great tips!

Stefan

[amanda803322]

good luck!

[MarineShape]

You're the man Trav!

[silvermags1]

Trave you are awesome! I loved this vid and I have totally noticed how supportive of others that you have been, even this early in the comp. I really really think that the key to this community is a support based network where we are not all just thinking about ourselves and what support /comments/ratings we can get, but rather what we can offer others as part of a great online tool for meeting others and weight loss. Great vid.

[julinside]

whooo! you can do this!

[cookiesncocktails]

awesome idea on working out while watching videos... im entirely inspired! youre the best trav and I do appreciate the support, youre gonna smash the hell out of this challenge.

[shesakura]

I am at work while I watch videos... I do paperwork while I listen, so that is a little difficult! But at night I could do this!

You will have that six pack, no doubt!

[coquinat]

awesome video Trav, I like your goals, and exercising while watching videos! I'm going to get my weights and put them by the computer :)

[dovesloveu]

perfect video!!! thanks for the advice!

[tbossbone]

I love it

[journey265]

great video! great goals! great idea about working out while watching videos. thanks so much for your comments!

[sistahonamission]

Hi Trav, great goals! I look forward to seeing your progress. Take care.

[DeniseOlmstead]

Very ambitious goals and if anyone can do them you certainly seem to be the one!! I wish you the best!! Have a great week ~

[LogansJourney]

LOL you are so awesome trav, nice goal card

[missleelee21]

Awesome idea about working out while listening/watching other peoples responses !!! I might just have to download that application for my iphone too lol good job mate!!! =)

Alicia

xo

[alycat25]

GREAT video. I love your goals!

[augustwhisper]

great cue card, i know you will have great success in this challenge :)

[mikilynn2]

1) Wholly cow, I had no idea there were that many contestants! Crazy how this grew, I love it!

2) You've got some great editing skills!

3) I LOVE that tip to work out while we're watching all these vids! Multi-tasking!

[freespiritcat]

such a good idea! :) i always do that when i do wall sits or at home activities!

you are going to to such a great job in this challenge I just know it! :) you are so positive and encouraging i love you trav!!!!!!

keep it up!

[TravMcTavish]

I'm going to have to try these wall sits. Another great idea for youtube watching exercise. Thanks.

[bangerchick]

Wow you sound so detertermined, love the cue card and good luck with the sore muscles, get some Radox salts in for your baths lol.

[TravMcTavish]

I LOVE baths. Sadly our bath is quarter sized so I can not lay back fully and just RELAX.

[LosingtheFat]

Trav, I <3 your goal card! Very nice = )

I also definitely like your suggestion about the fitness while watching YT. This week I actually started doing overhead tricep extensions while watching YT lol

I also wanted to tell you I think you are such a great and positive person to be supporting everyone on this challenge. That is amazing! Hope the rest of your week is super!

Take Care ~ Theresa

[TravMcTavish]

Oh I like the idea of the overhead tricep extensions...so easy to do whilst sitting at the computer! Thanks Theresa.

[genuinelysarcastic]

it is crazy how there are only 31 guys in this competition and for reasons that i'll soon tell you i'm only competing against 10. I like your reason of wanting to know how your body reacts to food! Its crazy how some foods create the most insane form of weight fluctuation. I can only do 7 pushups without dying so its going to take me some time to get to 100. Good luck with the programs, you're going to have to tell me what is the best one! 7% eh? not sure i can do that but I'm going to try!

[TravMcTavish]

Look forward to finding out your reason for the 10....To be honest I am not thinking of any of them as competition. I have my goal of 7%....if someone beats that then I'm happy for them but I will be at the lowest weight I have ever been in my adult and teenage life by losing 7%.

[butcher1903]

Whats all this talk about competing against guys? us guys are 1 team! As in all things in life, its the guys Vs the girls! :)

[genuinelysarcastic]

never thought about it that way! well played! im just having fun with this competition...i always do better at things when i just let loose and have fun!

[tingamez]

Ok, I gotta get my vid up! I've been slacking on my vids! Great Goals Trav!

: )

See u soon!

[TravMcTavish]

Thanks Tin....Looking forward to watching yours. It's not being slack on your videos if you have school work to do. :)

[plasticnitwit]

wow! trust to you have all the info!!

182 women.. man.... tuff compettion out there!!!

i love how much you care.. thats so rare to find.. you are rare! and i love that about you.

your honest and sincere. and i hope u never change!!

i do hope you win! for the guys anywho:D or rather.. of you and damion tied.. that woud be perfect!

good luck mr trav!

[TravMcTavish]

As I said in an earlier comment. I hope every guy beats me.....I WILL be getting to the 7% loss for this challenge so that means that a lot of guys would be a lot closer to their goals.

There is tough competition for you girls but you have been very successful so far and I'm sure you will give the girls a run for their money.

[14beads2goal]

omg 182 women? Oh man!!! I better pick it up LOL

Good luck Trav!! You are going to kick butt!!! And I love your card!!! <333

That's awesome....going to bed with sore muscles hehe...i better give that a try also!! You are so awesome...so supportive!!! MUAH!!

[TravMcTavish]

Thanks Jen. I am going to kick butt...if I am beaten by every guy I will be happy because it will mean that 31 men have lost more than 7%

[190Fat2Slim130]

you're hardcore man!!

[TravMcTavish]

I'm just so motivated my this challenge Rinda. Nothing is going to stop me from getting my goals.

[crosspecans]

good ideas here. waves~~~

[TravMcTavish]

Thanks Susan...got that tree shaking video for me yet? :)

[crosspecans]

ummm..yt search walnut shaker..pick the walnut harvest one. we wont shake until after a good freeze. waves~~~

[erikka1212]

what a snazzy beginning trav! Those are some excellent goals!

[TravMcTavish]

Thanks Erika. I wanted everyone to know that this is a massive challenge and it didn't matter where they where from why are supported. Hope your week is going well...

[yelserp2]

ok, I'll do some crunches, but I am not in this challenge.

[TravMcTavish]

Challenge or not do some crunches. And you need to tip your bed on it's side and do some Chinups ala Sarah Conner style. :)

[OperationRightNTight]

Hey Trav!I see you came up with a great cue card! :O) You have great goals! Exercising while watching everyone's video's sounds like a great idea!

[TravMcTavish]

I spent too much time in front of the computer doing nothing with my body. Learning to multi task :)

[Rachele77]

Great video Trav <3 R

[TravMcTavish]

Thanks Rachele. :)

[sheilachristine]

You just ROCK! That is all I gotta say!

[TravMcTavish]

Thanks Sheila I appreciate the comment. :)

[UltimateAnonymity]

You are an inspiration and a great motivator. I love the encouragement tip. & those were some great goals. You are a really awesome person! :)

[TravMcTavish]

Thanks Daphne. I need goals that are going to motivate me and keep me focused on the final prize. GOAL WEIGHT!

[mollybcutie2000]

I Love that you made you computer background your cue card! You have got great goals Trav!! Being sore somewhere every night is a great goal! different muscle groups so you body has time to recover youve got the right idea Trav!! :)

[TravMcTavish]

Thanks Molly. I also have that picture up next to my bed. It's the first thing I see when I wake up. Really helps me to visualise. Hope you are feeling better soon.

[AmandaTiffany26]

loooove the intro! kudos for extra effort. have a good week!

[TravMcTavish]

Thanks Amanda. Glad you liked the intro. I think I spent more time on making that than the actual video. :)

[jammim1977]

Good video, I don't quite the being sore everyday. sore isn't really a good thing . your muscles need time to recover. Do you have a marathon in mind to run?

[TravMcTavish]

I'm making sure that I don't work the same muscles daily that way they can recover. As for marathons. There is a Sydney marathon that is run in October. I might aim for this one....I need to start doing some shorter distance runs first after I complete the C25K.

[aims2BEfitYUMMYmummy]

your goal card killed me, i loved it!!!!!!! great videos & great goals, i was happy to finally see your week one!

[TravMcTavish]

Thanks for the goal card love.....That will be me some day with the sixpack and the girl draped over my shoulder. :)

[socalgrrrl05]

Love it! I should get an exercise/stability ball to sit on while I watch videos!

[TravMcTavish]

Great idea I bought one of those balls a couple of weeks back but have not taken it out of the box. Thanks.

[lifewithjades]

I LOVE your video! The intro is great, wonderful goals, great how you made your cue card, um...I think I covered everything- great, great, great! Good Luck Mate!

[TravMcTavish]

Glad you lived it Jades.

I got a strange from the lady who printed my photo and then another strange look from the person who laminated it. But the cue card and the photo is for me, so it was worth the strange looks. :)

[Soupcan309]

Trav....u r defintiely the man!

love the idea about exercising while watching the YT videos

do u change ur hand placement when doing the 100 push ups? I would recommmed that...do a set with hands close together, then normal width, then wide....do a set with you feet on a step, then hands on the step....variety is the key!

of course you already knew that....

stay healthy....

btw, still think I'll stay away from the vegemite!!

[TravMcTavish]

Doug if you are really thinking of coming to Australia to enjoy our summers then you have to try vegemite. In fact I think I thy and make that a condition of entry at the Airport. All visitors must eat a Vegemite Sandwich before getting through customs. Thanks for the advice on the push ups I'm only just starting them so I did not know. In this video I did 20, it's the most I have done in over 20 years, but at the start of the week I could only do 12 so it's getting better.

[msixpackabs]

Trav, only you could have make such an awesome video. I love it. I tried to support everyone but Trav....no way...we are way to many. I think we all have the right to chose.

About exercising while watching vids...no way...the only thing I would hear is me yelling.

[msixpackabs]

forgot to mention the cue card...lol...we do have big hopes

[TravMcTavish]

The card is to help me visualise where I WILL be in the future. I look at this daily and see my goal getting closer.

We will have those sixpackabs....Mr sixpackabs. :)

[TravMcTavish]

Thanks Daniel.

As for the supporting everyone. I do agree that there are WAY too many people for everyone to be watching every video from every person. I have given up all TV to do it and a lot of my free time. This is why I have to get a little creative with my workout and multi-task. I would much prefer people exercising than watching my videos if it helps them get to goal.

As for exercising and yelling, I had to cut out the audio in the push up part due to this. :)

[MsGotte]

Great video, great goals and great advise. You are really a great inspiration. Can't wait to see you get to your goals!

[bellaflorskinny]

you are so clever with your weight card! Good luck with your goals! You are gonna do great!!! I am going to do the workout video idea that is so cool!!

[TravMcTavish]

Starting next week I might put in the comments if I did a workout and how many reps during the videos when I watch them. I think everyone should start doing it.

[thesiegster]

ypu are awesome

[TravMcTavish]

Thanks Greg. :)

[TravMcTavish]

Ha ha. I calves are so sore from all the running I have been doing and a weird aerobics video I saw on youtube and did yesterday. That exercise you saw me doing I could only do the 3 you saw they hurt so much. :)

Supporting others in this challenge also helps me to stay motivated.

[karottz]

LOL I loved your intro! Great vid. That is a really great idea to watch videos while exercising :) Never thought of that before! Your goals are great as well! Your awesome :)

[TravMcTavish]

Thanks Krissy, glad you liked it. If I just sat and watched the videos I would do nothing for literally over 2 hours per day.

The videos get me motivated anyway so that helps. :)

[lifeonrollercoasters]

I am completely jealous of your goal card... it is stunning. Someone is putting some pretty high standards there with the lamination. People better watch out lol.

I love your goals and I love your positivity; it is ridiculously refreshing.

[TravMcTavish]

What do you mean Megan? You want a goal card like that or a man with a six pack like that. :)

[lifeonrollercoasters]

Really to be fair, either or would be an improvement. lol.

[OohLaBelle]

Good luck trav! The best of luck with the challenge, i know you will do a great job!

Your the biggest team player in the community, the peole in the challenge are lucky to have you!

[TravMcTavish]

Thanks. I don't know if I'll be able to make a mid week huddle for this one but I do have an idea or two. :)

[Slim4Iife]

I looooove the introooooooo!

Great goals! Really great supporter!! Loved it.

Good luck this week

Cheers,

Mari

[TravMcTavish]

Thanks Mari....The support I give the other people gives me motivation so it's a two way street. :)

[TravMcTavish]

Thanks Peta...when are we going to see your week one weigh in? Looking forward to seeing your goals. :)

[TravMcTavish]

What!!! Now I'm worried...I need to update my excel spreadsheet. How do you know that they are accepted? There are only 209 videos in Jess' original responses to the challenge. I did notice that Mariann had a entry video but was not in the response list. I need to know where you are getting your info from!!!!!! Who am I not subbed to? ARRRRRGH

[hilah83]

Realy great goals...the bmi and body % is what importent to me too.

[TravMcTavish]

The BMI was one of the things that really got me started losing the weight. I hated being in the obese category. Such an offensive word.

[DearFat130]

YOU ARE SO COOL MCTAVISH!!!!!! I've been waiting for this video and you did not disappoint. Love the card, you will get those washboard abs!!! Great, solid measurable goals. Wonderful wonderful wonderful. You are a force to be reckoned with in this challenge! I'm glad I'm not competing against you!!

[TravMcTavish]

I will get that 7%....I just had to let the others know in the challenge. You kicked but in Fiona's challenge you the ladies should be worried about you also. :)

[LosingSomeWeight]

Hey, loved the video. The beginning was awesome! I didn't think there were actually THAT many people. I liked you goal card and all your other goals. Cya next week! :)

[TravMcTavish]

Thanks...I think there may be even more people in it. Apparently there are 216...I'll have to find these people and sub to them asap.

[TheLazyLillypad]

You rock Trav - loved the video!! :D I seriously just love listening to you talk...between the accent and the inspiration...it is GOLDEN! :D

[TravMcTavish]

No accent here...:) You crazy Americans are the ones with the accent. :)

Thanks.

[LosingOmentum]

Great suggestion! Doing exercise while watching Youtube! You think I would have thought of that already.. sheesh. Love the ideas, love the videos, keep up the awesome work!

[TravMcTavish]

I have thought about the exercising whilst watching but never got off my butt and did it. Damion (Genuniely Sarcastic) mentioned the sit up thing to me a while back and I though it would be great to add for everyone in this challenge.

[amylynne69]

Trav I love the intro...

I love your accent...

I love your goal about having sore muscles everynight...

I love the support you give everyone...

& I love you!!

Your going to do amazing in this challenge :)

[TravMcTavish]

Thanks for all the love Amy. :)

I wasn't sure if people knew the stats for the challenge so I had to include it.

[leraloses]

wow, u laminated it? talk about a goal card!

[TravMcTavish]

Yep...I took that photoshopped photo and gave it to the lady at Officeworks to laminate. She gave it such a strange look. I'm pretty sure she didn't know whether to make a joke about the photo or not. :)

[DonnaRedheadSpeaks]

hahaha I love your goal card :-)

Good luck for this week

[TravMcTavish]

I would have loved to explain more about the goal card but with only 3 mins, well.....I photoshopped my head on a hot guys body. It helps me to visualise where I want to get to. I've been looking at it every day to help clearly see my goal.

[Running0NEmpty]

Great goals I would like a 6 pack some day as well and not the kind you can by at the store.

[TravMcTavish]

Unfortunately I have bought way too many of the other six packs. Time to get a real one. Hope you are feeling better soon mate and back out hitting the pavement.

[xf89]

Great intro, Trav! Love the goal/reasons card! :)

[TravMcTavish]

Thanks ChrisTina. The goal card helps me to visualise.

[donewiththeweight]

i love the intro for this video. i know you will do great.

[TravMcTavish]

Thanks.....The intro was to help people realise how big the challenge is.
