What's your goal?  Do you have a plan to achieve this goal - if so what is it?  If not - there's your first problem.Undecided

Care to share what your goal and plan is?  I can then better assess whether I can help you out or not.

I am doing the 20 week olympic training program. Lifting 2-3 times /week. Doing pilates once/week. I am telling you, it's all my diet. I would have more energy to workout if I ate better and I would get to my goal if I would just eat better.

Then if you're so set on losing 20lb, don't back down on your word and head to the pool. 30min once this week is not asking much. You can't back down from 30min of swimming.

Please note that next week you will have to do 36min of swimming, then next do 42, then next you'll have to do two 30min swims etc.

But if you can't start w/ 30min of swimming, then you're obviously not serious.


Also please note, I have never been 20lb overweight, but I have been 10lb (I gain that every off season). I lose 10lb in two weeks by swimming 5x/week for 90min.

You'd send me a car just for kicking you in the ?

Wow.  I could use a new car.

Seriously, what kind of accountability are you looking for?

Wow ... thats awesome ! Going green with envy ...

But seriously , to the OP question , if you are real interested in losing the weight , having been thru' a similar patch a while back and kinda going thru' it again now , here's a couple of pointers that I'd like to share:

- stick to your plan . it doesn't matter how monotonous it is or how slow you are (if you are , that is)
- try and eat healthy , but beyond this , control your portions ! that , i have found , is key to losing weight . For eg. if you get a sandwich for lunch , slice it in half and see if you can manage on just the half ... usually u can do just fine .
- drink water (lots of it ) to curb the appetite and also to stay hydrated
- eat mini-meals during the day , like fruit and such healthy stuff

BTW , if you want to stay motivated on the weight loss , then check out the Tri for weightloss forum (not sure of the exact name) . Its quite useful and they usually have a challenge going on that you can join. Very simple to keep tabs on how you are doing on a weekly basis and see how many others are in a similar boat as you are .

Also, if you need motivation on the workouts , join a challenge here . I have found the accountability to your team and your goals ensures that you workout regularly or at least the guilt is there if you don't

Trust me , it can be done . I've gone from 225 down to 185 in the matter of 6-7 months or so (and up to 205 but thats a diff. story ) and had the best fitness level that i can remember in a long while .

Good Luck !

(Caveat: Hopefully these pointers help you as they did me but then again , everyone is different ...)
