Nope...I'm here...just "listening" to all the horny melon chatter...I have to say...I was on the tri talk forum and saw someone with "team horny melon" and that led me to check out the challenge forum...sounds like it was a great team

triguynewbie - 2008-10-03 5:57 AM Did you change your avatar? The laptop I am on doesn't show avatars. All I see is and white box with a little red X in the top left corner. It is really hard to keep up with everyone when you can't see avatars.

I bet it is tough to keep everyone straight. 

My new avatar is a pic of my glowing white insulated abs.  I must say that it turned out very nice.  I really like the contrast that my 2 piece provides.

I think that I can safely say that we have all enjoyed spending time together.

That's great...I was trying to explain this  whole thing to my husband this morning...but he just doesn't quite buy into the whole online community thing...maybe its because he is a little older than I am...or he is just weird

At some point I will have to take another pic.  That one is from the end of July.  According to my belt buckle I have lost about 2" since then.  I want to wait until the differences is really obvious though.

I have started training with a bunch of people from BT on the weekends and when I explain something to either my wife or my BIL that has started training with me and have to say that I met them "online" everyone gives me a wierd look. It still has the stigma attatched to it. So I call it BT instead of online and that helps a little.

I think that you need to experience it to actually understand how great it can be.

Aren't results great. I have not lost much weight but my shape has definitely changed. I think I have actually put on a few pounds but my body fat % has dropped so I am happy with that.

Yeah...I think a lot of people still believe that everyone on the web is out to try to scam you in some way.  I am looking forward to running with Barb once the marathon is over, and perhaps meeting some other BT folks at events.

 I have the same issues.  I will need to start calling it the Beginner Triathlete...

When I say BT people just ask me what it is.  Then I am back to I met some people online.

A friend of mine was looking at the pictures on my cell phone and wanted to know why I have a picture of my abs in the mirror on there. When I told him it was for before and after photos and so I could see if there was a difference he thought I was wierd and has been ragging me about it at work. Am I the only one that does this?

In the end that is probably even more important than the actual weight loss...I had stalled out a couple weeks ago...I think because I was in a muscle building phase

I have posted a few pictures here that I would not show others either. Although when I then do group rides and the topic is brought up I turn red and get embarrased.

Yeah even thought I have not met anyone in person yet the motivation alone has really helped me.  The first time I realized that other people could see my logs I realized how helpful this was going to be!

I accidently deleated my before picture so know all I have is a during. I guess I can still compare that to the later durings. When do you call it an after picture? When you stop training or I guess when you have completed your goal? Not sure. My during is much better than my before though

I hear you there.  I need to run.  I got up a hour early to get some stuff taken care of...that hour has come and gone and school will start soon-and I am not even done getting dressed!

FYI-When I am on the computer in my room I am very rarely fully clothed.  Laughing
