Amazingly I don't have anything recently.  I might be able to round up a pic from one of my recent races, and I will definatly have some after my June marathon.

Here's one from two years ago.  Not too big of a difference now.  About the same weight, but I am marginally less puny

You're pretty hot yourself...nice going, keep it up! 

Ummm...that's not a friend of yours drinking Budweiser in an Irish pub I hope!    I have a friend who lives in County Armagh. (sp?)

haha, she IS but it isn't a pub, it's just the student's union, so we go for CHEAP over good. The lad in the pic was drinking guiness though.

And Armagh is the correct spelling

phoenixazul - wow! You are a doll! You look as good now as your graduation picture on your profile.

Ireland is on my 'to do' list. We went to Scotland a couple years ago on vacation but didn't make it to your island.

haha, thank you. That's not my graduation picture, that's my sorority composite (formal portrait) picture from last year! That drape (really just a black dress with one of my sisters squatting behind holding it!) hids a fair bit of flab.

And it isn't quite my island...I'm American, Pennsylvanian to be more precise. I'd love to live here, but for right now, study abroad will have to do. I can't wait to go to Scotland though, doing it in a few weeks, where did you go?

We started in London then went to Edinburg, then up to the north country - the highlands - then over to the eastern coast, back down to Glasco and then back to London. The highlights of the trip were Edinburg Caste, Sterling Castle, Loch Ness and Elin Dolin Castle. I just love castles!
This summer we went to Norway and saw Auckeshus Castle in Oslo.

Any good 1/2 iron triathlons in Ireland that I can use as an excuse to go there?

I shredded the only photo evidence of me being 212 lbs. (wrestled in high school 4 yrs. before at 140, weighed about 160 only 6 mos. before) just the other day. I don't think it was quite 212, but I'm looking for the picture (under lock and key) affectionately known as the "Beached Whale Pic" and although technically it will be an after, I'm still a work in progress but I'll post one.

It's probably wrong, but I'm going to use this thread alone as leverage for the wife to loosen up the purse strings on some tri gear. She'll let me buy whatever I want if I look like coredump 6 mos. from now!

You guys f'in rock!!

It feels pretty damn good, as a matter of fact. I'll take any kind of admiration.

I'm late on this thread and since I haven't been posting much in the past few months, I figured I'd come back and give myself some inspiration.

Here's a link to the pic because it's rather large:

^^^ hehe, and incidentally folks, I met and fell in love with him shortly following the "Before" shot, and I'm even more in love with him in the "after" shot (plus he's got a *ahem* nice bike).

Oh, my gosh, it's an ALIEN!!!!!!!

Oh, wait...no it's not... It's just a photo of me laughing with one of the girls in my wave before the start of my first tri. (Pleasant Prairie, 2003.) Why were my ears sticking out of my cap?

No before and after photos... I was acutally quite scrawny before I started tri training. I had been really sick for quite a few months, and I lost a LOT of weight. I actually gained 12 pounds right away when I started training. It feels so good to be muscular, rather than stick-like!

Well, I only started training in the middle of March and only got a little serious in May, but here's a picture of me at my biggest (just over 200) last November with me a couple weeks ago at 185.

I've dropped another five since then and I'm actually starting to feel really good. Not just physically, but I'm feeling a lot better about myself. I'm smaller than I've been in years and I'm starting to do things I never thought I'd be able to do.

I've only just started, but this is the first time I've actually started to notice something, and I love it!

I really was planning on bumping this thread myself this weekend. First, because it has provided quite an inspiration to me through these past months when I started training to lose weight. And second, because when I started I promised myself that I'd work hard enough that I could post to this thead after my first tri. So here they are, the before is August 2005, and the current (can't really call it after since I still have some to go) is finishing the Green Bay Triathlon, June 4, 2006.
