Subject: Victory...size 12 to a 6P!
I am just tooting my own horn here...shameless, unadultered bragging. I started this Tri journey in March of this year at a size 12(women's) and 158lbs. I am now 134lbs and just bought my first pair of size 6 petite jeans. I have NEVER been a size 6 in all of my adult life. And, damn, does it feel good!

Have I mentioned that my @ss even looks good in them? And I have no jiggle arm-wings either...oh, the wonders of tri-training. 8 years of weight training and aerobic classes didn't do what the past 6 months did!

Good lord, you SHOULD be bragging about that! I would stop everyone I ever saw and tell them! That is so exciting! I am very impressed! I bet you didn't think you could be a size 6! I bet you are one sexy mamma now!!

Congrats!!

Congratulations...that's awesome!  But you know we need a picture, right?  I was a size 8 when I started tri training in June of 04, now I am a size 2-4.  I have never been this size before...even pre-kids I was a size 8.

Enjoy those jeans..you've earned them!

I am very jealous of you guys.  I was a size 8 before training and am still a size 8  

Good jobs, ladies.  You give me hope

Nice job!!! Everyone is in triathlon for their own reasons, but at the end of the day it's all about goal-setting, and goal-achieving - and it's always great to hear success stories!

EXCELLENT JOB! I agree, I would just stop strangers on the street to tell them about that kind of victory.

Normally I would never make such a request, but since max is "getting up there" in age, I'd hate to see him go out wondering...

Why is it when the girls all call for pics of the guys, no one has a problem with it. But when the guys call for pics, it's somehow creepy. This double standard just doesn't seem fair at all.

I can't see a problem with asking for some pics in this case. I mean, I've got Comet and runnergirl calling for pics of me in spandex, eating a burrito, and reading poetry. Now THAT's twisted.

That is a great job.  One of these days I will be able to post that I am down to a 30 something waist.  Keep up the wonderful work, and you will keep us all inspired.

Congratulations Melanie! You deserve to brag. Way to go! Strut your stuff!

And Max, when you tire of looking at cute girls' butts, then we'll know that you really are old. Until then......
