Hello fitness pals! I'm new to this site but I've been losing weight since January when I had my baby girl. I started at 235 (heaviest weight at the end of my pregnancy), and since giving birth I've been shedding pounds quickly. I am now 184, but I am aiming for 145 overall. I'm looking forward to making some friends here and sharing and receiving support in the weight loss journey.

I am also beginning training for a triathlon with my husband (my first!) that will take place in October, so anyone who has the same goal or has finished one before, I would love some advice or encouragement from you!

    Welcome to MFP! Sounds like you've been doing a great job with the weight loss! I've lost 73 so far and it's been a hell of a battle. I just started running myself and ran my first 5K in May and am running 2 more races in the fall...1 is a 5K and 1 is a 7.5K...I'm FAR from a marathon yet...something to strive for though I suppose! Best of luck with everything!
