Hi Everyone!  I'm new to the tri world and sort of new to athletics altogether.  I was the musical child and so I was never really encouraged to do anything physical.  I recently turned 38 and read the following quote, ""Whenever you do some form of physical exercise, when you demand the maximum from your body, the mind gains a strange spiritual strength" I've always enjoyed swimming and cycling and so shortly after my birthday - I decided to do a tri.  My first mini-sprint is scheduled for July 20th.  I *just* started telling a couple of close friends.  For some reason I kept it a secret.  ??  Anyway - I have a 5 year old child and feel good about my body but there's always room for improvement.  I got down to 136 but then went up again in the last week or two and weighed in this morning at 139  I don't know what my goal is but I'd like my core to be more toned so I'm thinking 14 is a good goal.  Good luck to everyone!  Hope this works

Okay I'm a knob - but I can't find any spreadsheet ?? 

Ahhh found it THANKS!!

YA I just found another one last night that still sticks with me...

"The very basic core of a man's living spirit is his passion for adventure.  The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun."  Chris McCandless

Keeps you motivated!   

Aloha all and well done to every one loging their weights. I will trawl through the posts and I will try to catch up and annoy you all .

I am usuing the nutrition logs again and though I think the tendancy is to slightly under estimate intake it is useful to use them. Main thing is it just makes you a bit more accountable if you know you are logging it. Makes you think twice before you take in nutrition. - Well works for me any way when I log it. SOOOoooo if you see me not logging it feel free to hassle me.. please.

I have ben a bit under the weather the last couple of days but I am away for the weekend and will come back with a loss I am sure. Hope you all are feeling the benefit of the group dynamic and will all leave me in the dust. Good luck team mates.

Oh some info on me?.... Well male 45 from Dalgety Bay in Scotland. When I was younger I played rugby to a high level and then started to run after an injury. Got to a 76 min half mary when I was 21 - self trained but never kept it up for more than 8 months at a stretch and gave up really wen I got hassle after winning a local 4 mile road race in Edinburgh. Only time I ever wo a race.

Well one vacation in Hawai'i I was siting on a beach and watching whales breach off shore and Isaid to myself 'One day I am going to do the Ironman in Hawai'i'. Well I didn't realy realise what that might entail (that was 20 years ago). Well I recently got permision to persue this goal from my family and rather overweight and not having exercised much for many years I started to train. I trained up for the Disney half in Jan 07 and managed that...just. Not the 6 min miles I used to do. Actually happy with the 3 hrs plus I did but there you go. Then I got a bad hip injury and took me many monthes to get back to it. I got weight from about 280 down to 196 and then injury struck at christmas and a family cruise in Hawai'i (Love Kona) and got started again about 2 months ago. My weight is about 233 just now and at 5' 9 should be in the 160 - 170 range I guess at least so still a bit to do.

I have at last manages to become a triathlete with a 127 min Sprint and hoping to be able to do an oly distance in winter and start on a half IM programme for a half IM next September and hoping to do UK IM in 2010.

I will have a weight for you tomorrow (Saturday).

I realize that as a group it's to be a Wednesday weigh in, but I only weigh myself 1x per week, and that's on Saturdays.  I haven't for the past couple weeks due to tris, so I don't have  a current weight, and the scales at my new gym are not digital, and basically suck.  So, I will wait until I weigh in tomorrow at Weight Watchers for an official report.  If this is a problem, please let me know.  I'm not doing it to gain more time on the challenge or anything...I'll try to do the last weigh in on the last Wednesday.  But I don't own a scale and I don't plan on buying one until I've hit my goal weight.

Thanks 

Thanks.

I have my weight...241.6.  I'm not happy about it.  3 weeks ago, I was down to 233, which was 95 lbs lost for me.  I've gained 8.6 lbs in 3 weeks.  Stress and crap have gotten in the way of my success and focus.  I hate it and I will make it gone.  I want to get back down to 233, and I want to hit that damn elusive 100 lbs mark, which for me, is 228lbs. 

GOOOOD Morning!

Well I'm happy to report that I stayed the same!  its bitter sweet but I thought I'd gone to hell when I got on the scale over the weekend and saw 3 additional pounds...

It's all about getting into a rhythm and sticking to the program.  Keep up the good fight against those cravings!!

Cheers everyone~
