Five4Fitness: Mon/4-26: Introduction Week: Trav

[doingthisforme23]

really looking forward to your videos!! how tall are you btw?

answer: one day I just stumbled across weight loss videos and never realized there was a whole community here on yt..came across the shayloss competition video about 2 weeks after it had begun..posted on a few people's channels asking if they knew about other competitions coming up..then ftdRaw (Steve) commented saying "you should join, it's not about the money anyway" ...so after a few days and some serious thought, I did. :)

[cotaman08]

I started making videos as a beachbody coach...I soon realized that I didn't want to be here to sell products. I then made videos just because I enjoyed making them. I now vlog because it keeps me in touch with the wlc and I am inspired by others' motivation...it helps me to stay a little better on track.

[vida130]

I look forward to seeing the new discoveries you make on your journey because I know it will help with mine.

[14beads2goal]

Awesome video Trav!!! It's so good to see your face again!! I missed you!!!

[TravMcTavish]

@14beads2goal I'm so happy you are in Greg's challenge and I can watch you more regularly also. :)

[inspiredzen]

Love this channel Trav!!! Great video. I started making videos because I had watched videos on here for over a year, mainly TruelyJess's videos and when she came out with her challenge, I knew I had to join;)

[TravMcTavish]

@inspiredzen I'm so glad that you decided to join the CLC. I love the challenges as you get the the opportunity to meet and get to know so many wonderful people that are going through the exact same thing.

[mollybcutie2000]

Great Job as usual Trave It's wonderful to see you making videos again ;) I hope your settling in at your new place!

[TravMcTavish]

@mollybcutie2000 All settled into the new place. :) I do miss the cat though. I need to catch up on your videos, I feel I have missed so much of you........I will catch up very soon.

[mollybcutie2000]

@TravMcTavish What happened to your cat?? Well I haven't made to many videos so you won't have to much to catch up on :)

[thatsmysherman]

Trav's Question: I had a YouTube acct for a while, it was at first use to discover different types of choreography and music videos. It then got to a point where I wanted to learn how to do a type of exercise. Then I started to see people with their own vlogs about weight loss. I decided to post my first video and use it as a motivator and a time capsule. My first channel was droopyman122. Well I am not that droopy anymore so I made a new one "thatsmysherman"

[TravMcTavish]

@thatsmysherman YouTube is an interesting place, you can find so much on there and somehow end up in a completely different place from where you started. Thanks for watching the video. :)

[qiranger]

Cool stuff!

[TravMcTavish]

@qiranger Thanks mate..

[DarlingDQ]

great video! I joined youtube and made videos bc I became obsessed with fainstarlite and aggy83's successes. I figured if they could do it, then I could too, so I followed in their footsteps. I'm glad I did bc it's a surprisingly helpful and encouraging weight loss community and I love it! Can't wait to see more videos guys :)

[TravMcTavish]

@DarlingDQ It's so great to watch people succeed on there. It's a motivator for all of us. I remember coming across a couple of Faintstarlite's video when I first came to YT.

[allsmiles921]

I loved the video! I am excited to follow everyone's journey. Knowing that other people are on a journey for a healthier lifestyle with me makes my heart smile :o)

I started making videos because I was inspired by others on here. I love how everyone supports one another and I needed the accountability because my follow through sucks sometimes lol.

[TravMcTavish]

@allsmiles921 The support and accountability is a VERY big motivator.

[lisabgreen512]

YaY Trav!!! Can't wait to see more from this channel :)

[TravMcTavish]

@lisabgreen512 There will be much more with the channel Lisa. Thanks for watching my friend. :)

[PAPSCAL1973]

Cashpath (Jay) I saw the fun and motivation he gained from doing this and it inspired me. He became more goal orientated and it seemed like alot of fun so I finally got my own equipment and wanted to have fun with him...

[JestingJill]

@PAPSCAL1973 I am so happy that you started making videos, i really enjoy watching you and seeing your drive....it helps motivate me.

[TravMcTavish]

@PAPSCAL1973 Jay is a VERY motivated and motivational person.

[curleegirl68]

I don't make videos, however, I've also been on my weightloss journey and started in April as well. I was sitting in the computer and searched weightloss motivation. Fattytoslim inspired me. Happy Anniversary! Look forward to watching this collab channel.

[socalgrrrl05]

Awesome beginning Trav!

[TravMcTavish]

@socalgrrrl05 Thanks Steph looking forward to watching your intro video also. :)

[aaronlosing]

Looking forward to getting to know all you of you, the weight loss losers is an archive channel now. Its nice to have something like that. What brought me to youtube? Shanti's videos, from there found jason, nicole, jay, and many others. My videos are awful and I don't like my voice (very monotone) but making those videos does help keep me accountable.

[JestingJill]

@aaronlosing Dont worry about how many people watch you or what they will think, just as long as you are doing the videos for you and they help to motivate you to go harder and do better....keept at it all is not in vain!

[TravMcTavish]

@aaronlosing I don't think it matters about your videos. The important thing is making them and getting involved. I know it's a huge inspiration knowing that even one person is watching your videos. Thanks for watchign mate.

[MoveItForward]

I started my original channel back in 2007 to start making videos as part of the old Gut 2 Cut group.

[TravMcTavish]

@MoveItForward I kinda regret not being around during the G2C time. I heard so much about it when I first started watching YT videos.

[RunJGHueRun]

I started this channel to document my training for my first half marathon back in January of 2009. I kind of stumbled into the WLC as well, and am glad I did!

[shesakura]

Nice to see you again :) Youtube does not help me too much in terms of feedback. I do not have many people that comment back so not too much feedback. However, I love watching other peoples videos. It gives me ideas that I never would have thought to do.

My first video was to help anyone else with their blackberry because I could not find a good video on my phone :) It is the only video that has tons of viewers that has said thanks :)

[JestingJill]

@shesakura The more people you take an intreast in and actually start talking to, the more you will make friends in the WLCand it really helps to motivate you when you motivate them......I am so happy you subscribed to this channel!

[maddmaddworld]

I started an account on Youtube back in 2006, but used it only for commenting. In April 2007, I created this account, and began posting videos, thanks for sXePhil. I began my weightloss videos in August 2007.

[uklili13]

Ooo I will definitely answer your question in my next video. I am so happy this channel is created. Some of my all time fav vloggers on here. And the road is long.. and sometimes bumpy Trav but I KNOW you will get there :)

[JestingJill]

@uklili13 Make sure you post it as a video reply!

[msixpackabs]

Couldn't deal with them so I had myself out of the WLC and sticked with my singing channel.

ow i am happy to e just a regular viewer with no opinions.

i am happy to live life as it is and hopefully, one day, I'll be able to get back on track again.

I am glad you guys are "on air" and I wish you all the best!

[msixpackabs]

I remember us all being very thrilled the moment you applied for thefatastik5.

My honest answer:

I came on YT to show myself off.

Did lots of s**ts under many accounts (most of them deleted in less than a month). I picked up on everyone I didn't like or even those I liked. Was running after fame and recognition (of what?). During time, I've got the fame and the haters as well.

I picked up on everyone I didn't like.

[cashpath]

Excellent job Trav. I will answer the question in my video :)

Well done.

[angienicholas]

great video Travis nice to see you making videos again. can't wait to see more

[JestingJill]

Steven a/k/a Smapp a/k/a 2Thousandand9, told me i needed to start making videos again since i hadnt made a youtube video in well over a year, so i created my new channel jestingjill and began my weightloss videos and other random stuff.

Great video trav, i learned things about you i never knew! I loved the old footage of you near the opra house on the lift.I cant wait to see what you say next week, and ill anwser your question alittle more in my video tommorow.
