I'm getting close to a full year of living a better lifestyle and I'm trying to break the 100 lbs lost barrier, break into Onederland, and to cross the line out of Obesity and into "just" being overweight by my 1 yr anniversary. Between now and then I have an Olympic triathlon and a half-marathon I will be competing in.

I have seen your progress on BuddySlim and am very impressed. Keep going! One of my dreams is to complete a half-marathon too. Good luck with your events!
