GREAT JOB Max!!!  I am surprised at how much a difference 30 pounds makes!

Holy Crap MAX!  I'm with everyone else when I say "GREAT WORK"!  Looking at your logs, looks like you train pretty hard and your consistent with your training.  You're definitely an inspiration to  newb like me! 

Good luck in the Rattlesnake this  weekend!

Great work, everyone! 

KathyG...I barely even recognized you in the kitchen photo.  You look amazing now, and in my mind, you've always been fit and healthy.  Wow!

Cheers, -Sunny 

Hello all,

I am very new to this forum and to the world of Triathlons at that.

In high school I played football and through shop put and discus on the track team. Needless to say I have never been a small person. Plus after high school I didn't take much interest in much physical activity. So I have been packing on the pounds for the last 10 years.

At my heaviest I was at 275. I am now down to 265, and plan to keep going.

What started all of this for me is my my son who is now a year and a half old and my daughter that will be born at the end of the year (our little Christmas baby!) I want to be able to play with them and chase them around and right now I can't do that since I get so wore out with-in a couple of minutes of playing with him.

I have set a goal for myself to be in good enough shape that I can enter and finish my first Triathlon by July 4th of 2009. After seeing all of y'all before and during photos y'all have given me the motivation to keep going and stick with this, not only for me but for my family as well.

I just want to say congratulations to all of you and keep up this great work and thank you all for making this a great forum for all of us beginners.

Peace,

Chris

So, considering the new year is just around the corner, I thought it was time to resurrect this thread.  I've been stalled w/ my weight loss for a long time, but, I need a boost to remind myself that I have done a considerable amount of work, and that I'm way better off then when I started.

Pic#1 is December 2002.  Pic#2 is December 2008

I plan on taking pics in about a week or so (bad, bad weekend coming up, friends in town, lots of drinking and eating and then a concert Monday night) and then plan on following my progress to IMKY next August. NEED!!! to lose a good 25-40 pounds to be where I want on raceday.

Here are my before and after pics. I was 250 this Feb. when I started and now I am 211 and still going till my ultimate goal of 180. I tried to downsize the one pic w/0 luck but you get the idea

I call Shenanigans on all of you. You guys have been posting 'before photos' of other people, surely!

Seriously though, these are all very inspiring. Congrats to all!

Well, might as well place mine here also. How did this ever happen? Thank God that Triathlon can and has given us control of our health again.

This is with my mom and my wife. Now time to train and loose some of that weight.

Ah! here we go about a year later. Now time to continue loosing weight. Another 35 lbs.

Just stick to it, anyone can do it. ! Take care tri-kids!!

Okay guys... Here I come..... I hope everybody can see the pics....

This is me at 186lbs in December 2007. In January 2008 I started my weightloss journey with healthy eating habits and a lot of exercise.

And this is a picture from today at 120lbs.

I am done with my weightloss journey, but not done living a healthy liftstyle.... That I am planning on doing for the rest of my life.

Good luck to everybody tri'ing for weightloss..... Nobody says that it is going to be easy, but it will be all worth it in the end!
