I finished my first Tri on saturday, albeit, not great numbers but considering when i first started to train i weighed 270 and could not even run for a solid 2 mins never mind 2 miles. Just wanted to thank everyone for your help on all my dumb questions that i had asked over the last few months. I am weighing in at 235 now and can actually run w/o stopping now ! Thank you for all your help. I am entered into another Tri at the end of the month with a much longer swim so i need to get in the pool as much as possible. Thanks Again to all who helped me out.

Quite admirable on the weight loss alone.  Congratulations on doing it the right way, completing a tri, and looking ahead to another!  You are an awesome example to that cute little girl in your avatar.

Nice Job!!  Triathlon and 35 lbs...very impressive.  I also agree that in a world where everyone is looking for the quick fix for weight loss you have gone the harder route but it yeilds the greatest dividends.  Keep at it and good luck on your next one!!  I especially love the swimming because it is great for the arms and abs.
