What a journey. I started on MFP 3 years ago weighing in at 350. Over the course of the first year I used 2 apps MFP and C25k and lost the weight. C25k lead me to 5ks then a half marathon then a full. The 2nd year I learned to swim and that what got me into Tri's. Well after a handle full of short distance Tri's I went all out for a full Ironman last weekend in Wisconsin. 2.4 mile swim 112mile bike followed by 26.2 run. Well I finished before the cutoff.
My advice stick to your plan and just keep moving followed. If I did this you a capable. If you need help or motivation, send me a friend request.

Congratulations. What a fantastic transformation. Your post inspires me considerably. I have been doing sprint triathlons sporadically over the past 2 years. Still about 70 #s overweight. Had goal to move up to International distance triathlons this summer. Honestly, I bailed because I could not make enough progress with the run, which is likely related to the excess weight I am carrying. Every time I get up to 4 miles, a lingering calf injury would reappear. Up to 3 miles, I am fine. I would really appreciate hearing from you how you were able to continue progressing with your runs while still on your weight loss journey. Great job. Thanks for sharing. Very inspirational.0
