Donna  

1. Pre-Tri weight    2-01-08 = 265 lbs.

2. Current              7-30-08 = 230 lbs.

Would love to be @180-190lbs.

Jan. 1, 2008 ~ 180 lbs. (when I began this maddness)

Today ~ 163 lbs

Goal ~ 130 lbs

17 lbs down & 33 lbs to go

I started out between 225 and 230.

got down to 210 in 4 weeks and now I've plateaued, been training for 7 weeks.  I've been up a # or two and down a # or two. but no more than 213 and no less than 208 in any given day.  It depends on what I ate and what I am doing or have done.

Ideally, I'd like to loose 10 more #'s around my waist and gain 5#'s in my chest and arms.  ie more crunches and push ups  :p   (ideal range 203-208)

and just as a comparison.  I was 195 as a freshman in High school and 205 when I graduated in '88 (3 letter athlete - football, skiing and track (shotput & discuss)  215#+ when I graduated from college.  but not in as good of shape as I am now - active but not athletic.  and I'm 6'3"

Dec 07 #284, today #226. Started training in June for my first Tri (sprint) on Aug 2. The best is my cholesterol went from 324 to 195.

Thanks for starting this thread. I really thought I was alone at this weight.

WHAT?? Am I reading this right....358 to 182?????!!!!!!  That is AMAZING!!!!  I'd love to see before and after pictures.  Wow...what great motivation.

There's not a whole lot of history here since I am a n00b.

July 3rd of this year we arrived in Seattle. I was carrying 348 pounds on a 5'10" frame.

Since we live downtown, I now walk everywhere. I go through less than a tank of gas in a month. About a week after arriving, I decided that I was going to do a triathlon by this time next year. I don't even have a bike yet. Yep, I'm a little crazy like that.

At my last weigh in about 16 hours ago I was 326! Not too bad for a month, especially since I'm not even at a point where my body can handle the intensity my head and my heart want to work out at.

I'm shooting for anything below 220 by this time next year. When I get below 200 I'm throwing a party.

December 2006 - 183 lbs

Today - 162 lbs

I'm still not where I want to be, but I'm getting there.   

Well,

I only began official tri training the 1st of August, 2008 - just introduced to sprint and other shorter distance triathlons about 2 weeks ago.  Learned about it, googled and did some research, found this site and before I knew it I was hooked and all pysched up and trying my first one .

I'm registered for my first Sprint on Sept 14th.

But, I started back trying to lose weight seriously about the first week or two of January this year.  I had peaked at 313 lbs. and today after my workout at the YMCA I weighed out at 252 lbs.

So that is about 61 lbs. in 6 1/2 to 7 months.  Started with walking 30 minutes a day.  Kept adding 15 minutes a week until I was walking 4 or 5 miles (1 hr 10 min. to 1 hr 30 min. or so ...)

Then started doing elipitcal for 32 minutes as a change up, built up to doing 32 minutes, rest 1 or 2 minutes, do another 32 mintues.  2 or 3 months ago started doing aerobics class on Tues and Thurs, finished with 32 minutes eliptial, Mon, Wed, Fri do 64 minutes eliptical.

Also doing weights during this time, going less weight more reps and less time spent on weights as I went more and more time into the cardio.  Now the majority of my workout is cardio.

For past week now have been swimming, biking, eliptical, aerobics, treadmill once, will start actual jogging tomorrow.

My goal for now is to get down to 215 - 220 lbs. and then assess if I need to lose more if that is my ideal weight.

Maybe I should shoot for 213 lbs. and make it an even 100 LBS. of weight loss!

HMMM lets see, before I was paralyzed I was 6 ft 228 lbs and 13% Bodyfat. After I was paralyzed form the chest down I went up to 256lbs in 2004. I am not 230lbs and pretty lean. I still have a belly but since I am paralyzed form the chest down that will never go away since I can not use the muscle. My goal is 205lbs. I just cant not lose to much more off my arms and shoulders....lol
