  • Tomorrow I will be doing my first Olympic Distance Tri. I've done several Sprints but this is twice the distance of anything I have done yet. This was my goal at the end of the 2011 Tri season. I'm excited but somewhat nervous. The swim is the hardest for me and the water is colder than it normally is this time of year, it…

  • Change, try something new. The same old workouts get boring and you may not be working out as hard as you once was. Variety helps to jumpstart your weight management program. Don't give up.

  • It's look like alot of miles are being logged. That's great. I won't count this toward this challenge but the wife and I went on a trail hike for 6 miles. The weather was nice, just enjoyed the day.

  • Lots of good replys here. My traing is tight. Swimming is the most difficult, Our cities does have pools and I try to at least twice a week to train at the pool which basically consist of 1 miles worth of laps, using kickboards, swim bouy's and trying to perfect my stroke. We have lots of lakes and when I can since I do…

  • You may have Patella Tendenitis which is the inflammation of the tendon that attaches to your knee cap and somehere on the bone in the front of your leg. I have it and occasionally wear a patella strap. I'm no doctor, I researched the web about it and found some stretching exercises which help. I figure if it gets bad…

  • I'm just getting back on and reading all the replies is a hugh inspriration. All of us triathletes that are not great swimmers have reservations. Don't let that hold you back, the beauty of triathlons, 5k to marathons and bicycling events is that they are individual sports, you're racing against the clock and mostly…

  • Calories are calories good or bad. It's calories in / calories out. Up your calories some if you need to. Do look at what you are doing when you feel hungry. Our bodies have a way saying were hungry say while watching TV just because that what it has gotten use to. If this is the case then try changing your routine to take…
    in eating healthy but going over calorie goal.. is this okay? Comment by kbwdad October 2011
  • Welcome, you're starting in the right direction, you're asking for help. Support such as that you have here on MFP is very important. All of us have been on the same journey you have without support, for most including myself it didn't work. It wasn't until I sought support that I began to change my lifestyle and was quite…
    in can you help?? Comment by kbwdad October 2011
  • From my own experience, the closer you get to your ideal weight the harder it is to lose it. Don't give up, you've done a great job, look back at your journals, focus like you never have. Calculate your calorie intake, burned calories and BMR. I'm sure you have. Change up your meals to keep interest. Basically keep it up…
    in is my body done...even though I'm not?! Comment by kbwdad October 2011
  • I don't know if you can count it as water but I have been doing my own research concerning diet sodas. Over the past two years I lost 80 pounds, during my weight loss venture I could walk by a table full of sweets, cakes, fatty foods etc and not even get tempted to touch it. After I reached my goal weight I eased up and…
