  • sorry for your loss emmab092. I'm also impressed with the 1000 free kick. I'm ready to stop kicking after 100 free kick. Way to stick it out!

  • I'd like to join. I totally went off the rails. In Sep. I was 203. 1/1 I was 244. My dad has been having health problems and I handled it in the worst possible way. My ultimate goal is 180. I'm so mad at myself, but I know I have to just let it go and move on from where I am now. Nutrition goals: Eat healthy foods and…

    in How much difference can i realistically make in 9 weeks? Comment by JB_DBS June 2016
  • No worries. I just got into a rut for a while where I was overeating because I thought I was burning more than I was and couldn't figure out why I wasn't losing weight.

  • For reference, I use a HRM while I swim. If I swim 1,200 yards in about 20 minutes (an easy-to-moderate pace for me), The HRM calculates that I've burned 240 calories. I'm 213 lbs at 5'11". That would be 720 calories per hour. To burn 1200 calories you'd need to be quite a bit bigger than me and maintaining an effort level…

  • 10 years ago I finished IM Madison. It was a horrible day of wet/windy conditions. I finished but it was brutal. I quit triathlons and fell way out of shape. I was at 230 on race day and I'm 5'11" so I wasn't exactly svelte even then. This fall I hit my crisis weight of 245 and figured I needed a kick in the pants. I…
