time to choose... time to lose (Page 2)

Guys, I'm an engineering manager - 90+% of my team are men! I LOVE men.

I'm adding you to my watch list...

Well, I'm not a guy, but could use the support. It's hard for me not to get depressed over how much I need to lose and then I get frustrated and sabotage myself.  Do I have to do anything special to be part of the group?  And, who is part of the group, so I can add you to my friends list?

I didn't mean that only women could encourage nuke and gwen...though it might have sounded that way. Geez, I'm gonna get myself in trouble again. I meant that they might like to have more people as well.

Everyone is welcome! Just add us to your "friends" list under that screen and gear icon on your log screen and then we inspire one another. We try to sort of keep tabs on one another's weight and nutrition and training and such through any aspect of training would be fine.

Anybody with Don't Panic in their avatar is MORE than welcome!!!

Current team - Lablover, Miko, Hiccup, Gwendal, erLifeGuard, ChrisM, Nuke_Angel

We don't require anything special - just a willingness to share in your log and a tolerance for contructive criticism as well as positive cheering!!!

Don't PANIC!!! You're not in trouble. Trust me... I'll let you know if you're in trouble
Now, drop and give me 10 pushups

Can I join too?!?!  I need all the inspiration I can get!   I will add yall to my friends list.  Look forward to this new group!

You're in!

Welcome to all of our new members! 

Ok I am in. I have been posting this around the site and will put it up one more time here now that I have found a home. I am trying to get down to 212 by sep 1st and I am schedule to do my first spring Aug 6th

I keep pretty up to date logs both here and on fitday. here is my fit day link

Well try to get the friends thing working.

Is ther a difference between a Blog and the logs?

I would like everone to post the averge times in all three events so here are mine.

Swim 2min/100 yds for 500 bike 14.5 Miles/Hour for 10 miles Run 14:38/Mile for two miles.

Iam interested to see if most of you are having as much trouble with the run as I am.

here is a brief into it was posted on another thread

Hi All I am Dave and I decided to try tri and see if I could get in some kind of shape. I am 51 and started 5/22 on that date I weiged in at 237 with a 46.5 inch waist and 34% body fat.
Today June 25 I weighed in at 225.4 with a 44.5 inch waist and 31.5 % Body Fat.
I teach school so I decided i would train relly hard during June and July since I do not have to work. I lift weights 4 days week and Run, Swim and bike 3 to 6 times a week for each.
i started running with .5 miles and it took me 12 min. I started swimming for 5 min I added time and distance each time I worked out. My last run was 1.5 miles in 18 min and my swim is now 20 min for around 500 Yards. I got a Bike two week ago and added that in. My longest distance is 10 miles in 41 min. I am going to do a sprint in August. The main reason I decided to try tri was to give me anothe goal instead of the scale. While I am loosing a a good pace some time the scale does not move for a week then it will drop 4 pounds in 4 days. In the past this has got me down and I gave it up. I think this will work better. I am cleaning up my diet eating 5 meals a day. My calories are any where from 1400 to 2300 I try to zig zag them to fool the old stravation responcse. I hope you are all doing well and reaching for your goals

You're in!

oh Add me ADD MEE!!!
I'm 6'0 and the last i checked 241..but i think thats gone down some...Eh..I'll call it 241 now and just be happy if its lower sooner...heh..

I lost the first 27lbs in 5 weeks...I have 8 weeks till my first tri...I'd be really happy to lose the same amount before then.....well...I'd really like to be 200 or under...but thats a pipe dream i think...because that would be like 5lbs a week...

Well, i dunno..is that possible? I DEFINITLY want to be at 211 by my race...

Hey, the more the merrier.  You just have to add all of us to your blog friends list, and then you're good to go.  Oh, you DO have to track what you're doing here, on the BT training log function.

I second renegadebuddhacoach, whatever you're doing keep it up, and let the rest of us know what it is ASAP!

Jiggies,

You're gonna have to learn to use your training log. That's how we are coaching each other!

Do you know about the training log?

I'm in too. Finguring out the log thing. Will get others up and start posting tomorrow.
Jamma.
