Disclosure:This is not a paid advertisement for Lands' End. I have no experience with their products so cannot endorse them - but I think it's pretty decent of them to giveaway a lot of product in exchange for some publicity on this blog!
I think Allan R Jackson should win because he is really excited to lose weight because his health is bad and he's getting off of all his medicine and taking vitamins and eating right everyday to be able to be able to accomplish this and get healthy and this stuff will be good for him!
ReplyI need new workout gear because I am dedicated to changing my life. I am 31 years old, a stay-at-home-mom of 2 kidlets under 6. I have a colostomy and the clothes I wear make a big difference in my confidence level.
I need something that conceals this 'problem' area and allows me to focus on my movement and not my appearance.
I have recently begun an exercise program and I am determined to get fit and healthy in spite of my disability. New clothes or none, I will be actively changing my body. With new clothes? I might just strut a bit whilst Im at it,lol.
ReplyI need new workout gear because...I have been working really hard to lose my "freshman 15," that let's be honest, turned into the freshman 20. I am about 8 pounds away from my goal, and have hit my plateau. The new gear would give me the motivation to keep going and reach my goal. I want to reach my weight loss goal because this summer I will be starting my first "real" job, and I want to look AMAZING!
ReplyI need new workout gear because I've been working out and eating healthily consistently for about 2 years now. I have achieved so much on the road to weight loss and fitness that I wish that I could finally wear clothes to the gym that fit well and allowed me to express confidence in my new, strong body. Most of what I wear is either several sizes too big or very old and worn (I'm a student without much money to buy anything new) and it can be difficult to feel proud of my achievements when I can't even see them:-).
ReplyI need new workout gear because I have never had any official workout gear. I have always had my old clothes that I would workout in. Sometimes it was holey and sometimes had stains on them. I don't know what it would be like to have an actual workout bag, since I use a plastic grocery bag or an old broken tote bag. To have equipment (the pedometer) to utilize in a way that helps shape how I do things would not only be inspiring, but fun! I have always had a hard time working out and now, for health reasons (and personal ones), I must go forth into a mindset that I'm unfamiliar. I have acquired some of the basic knowledge, now I just need the tools...AND all the heart that have to "just do it!"
ReplyI need new workout gear because I'm good enough (to run 2.5 miles, but not good enough to make it to 3), I'm smart enough (to know that going to the gym and eating right is good for me, but not smart enough to stay away from the brownies), and doggone it, people like me (but they would like me a lot more if I had something new at the gym instead of a smelly bag and an old, oversized t-shirt).
ReplyI need new workout gear to help me expand my workout from the inside of the gym to the outdoors. I'm working on ways to incoporate nataure into my life, and also to make my workout part of my daily routine (i.e.- walking places instead of driving). I'm hoping to find a working relationship between getting fit and going green. This will allow me to help the enivronment as well as myself, and if possible my fiance will join in the fun!
ReplyAn added bonus would be to have some workout gear that acutally fits... Finally, my workout clothes are too big! I would love to have something new to show off my new look.
"I need new workout gear because..." after celebrating my 41st birthday in late February of this year. I have vowed to focus more on my physical health and step up my resent weight loss and body image to include more physical outdoor workout. Over the last three years I have release about 80 pounds of body mass, in a need steady fashion. Now is the time to really take my body image goal to a new level and release the last 20 pounds and get parts tight and sleek again.
ReplyNOW it is time to show what the new 40 really looks like and can be even better than the 20's and 30's...
I need new workout clothes as a public service for the community. No one, and I repeat, no one wants to see me running down the street with the ratty jeans I have now. I mean the cut off jean phase is over right? I think someone told me that. And we all know the public nudity - as inspiring as that is to keep one motivated - just causes more harm than good.
ReplyIf I had new workout clothes I could enjoy the small taste of spring mother nature keeps toying with. I could stride down the street confidently, knowing that even though I'm getting older and saggier, that at least I wouldn't be causing traffic pileups with my redneck tank top. :)
