New user  265  |  Subject: Thanks for the clothing tips! And a surprise!First, Thanks for the suggestions on finding reasonably priced clothing. I went to Performance today for a pair of bike shorts. The were on sale ($25). I tried on the XL and they were TOO BIG! Yeah I've lost weight, but I figured I would still need to get that size. I mean I'm 5'7" and weighed in at 223lb this morning. Even the Large fit good. Just a little loose in the legs, but they will work great for training. Could it be possible? When I get my gear for my first tri next spring, I'll be a clydesdale that can wear a medium? |

Bike clothing (name brands) are made to fit tiny tiny tiny french men. LOL! I wear a L in Performance brand shorts. My BT shorts are a 3XL(womens). My BT top is a XXL(womens). Yeah, nothing makes me feel fatter than to look at that 3XL label. *sigh* |

So I might have to get large or XL (I was thinking of getting BT anyway). Depending on the brand, I wear from Large up to XXL. I've got eight more months of training to go. Who knows what can happen by then. |

Its mostly my height but I wore a large it would look like a sleeveless. I am noticing the weight is dropping as well. I have no doubt you will make it in 8 months with plenty of time to spare. I am also hoping to make that sunday swim class. I am struggling with it still. I got the total immersion video and book now as well. |
