It's amazing what you can do in a year! I went from being on the couch all of the time, to racing an olympic distance triathlon (already signed up for my next one!), running five 5ks, and 12 criterium (bike) races.
YOU CAN DO THIS TOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And I'm not even finished!
I used to think that "fat" people couldn't race, and I proved myself wrong this year so many times.
YOU CAN DO THIS!
Before: 268lbs size 22
During 252lbs
Currently 214 (54lbs down!!)

You look AWESOME!!! And what an inspiration you are!! I planned to sign up for the Ramblin Rose Triathalon last year but never did. I am going to pay for it this year and get it done just days before my 46th birthday!! Do you mind sharing where you purchase bike shorts? That was one of my concerns last year.0

That is EXACTLY why I avoided doing so many athletic things, and you know what? I did my 5K and almost vomited because I was so nervous. I was an hour early, and the butterflies were in my stomach. I was NOT the only one who did run/walk intervals, and I was NOT the last person. HUGE motivator I was hooked after that I even passed people.
It was a superhero run, and I went as "Underdog" BTW :-D :-D0 -

DO IT!!!!! YOU CAN! Without a doubt. Just put a race on your calendar, and then the focus isn't "I have such and such amount of weight to lose" it becomes "I have this event coming up that I have to train for"
Once the focus is OFF of weight loss, and ON to "training" it changes your whole outlook.0 -
Congrats!! You should be so proud of yourself. You're an inspiration! Good luck in 2012!0
