I wish I lived somewhere warm. Unfortunately I live in a very cold climate and only get a few months out of the year when there are no freezing temps. Most of my weight loss and training was/is done indoors.

Yes, it really can be done. It was not in any way shape or form easy, but it was more than worth it. I lost most of the weight between January and the middle of June. In June I started really training for the triathlon and was ready to go by September. My first triathlon was Olympic distance and I am looking forward to…

Thank you everyone for the kind words. I appreciate your support. I thought about not posting these pictures but I decided that if I could help inspire others the way the many success stories that I have read over the past year have helped inspire me then it would be selfish not to. I am glad to hear that my success could…

Thanks for the kudos, the only good piece of advice I have is consistancy! Anybody can go on a diet for a week or 2, or start an exercise program for a week or 2. It takes true dedication and determination to succeed over the long term, consistancy is the key. Congrats on setting your goals, you can do it! If it helps at…

I did it for the first 2 months of my weight loss and it worked wonders for me. Lost about 35 pounds with it, I can't recommend it highly enough. Oh yeah and I am still a man despite what some would have you believe. :)

PW: 193.3 CW: 190.7 Not a bad way to finish off this challenge.

PW: 199.3 CW: 195.4 A good week overall for me. Congrats to everyone on their accomplishments, let's all push really hard the last 2 weeks and make this challenge great!

PW: 199.3 CW: 199.3 I didn't get to work out as much as I normally do this week, which is probably why I stayed the same. This week should be much better.

Alright, I will go first on this one. This week I was able to hit my weight loss goal so I am going to start working on my next goal. I have signed up for a triathlon in September so this is the week the real training will begin. Before today I have relied upon a ton of circuit training and walking with a little running…

Awesome job Surfer Dudes, thanks Paula and Pam for doing such a good job representing our team!

PW: 203.7 CW: 199.3 This is a huge week for so many reasons. First, HELLO ONDERLAND!!! I haven't seen the 100s in over a decade. 2nd I hit my overall goal weight this week! 3rd, back in February I calculated the rate at which I was losing weight and figured out how long I thought it would take me to hit my overall goal…

Awesome job Pam!!! You had a great week!

PW: 203.7 CW 203.7 Not sure why I stayed the same this week, I did drink a ton of water last night so I am hoping it is just retained water. I guess we will see for sure next week.

PW: 207.8 CW: 203.7 This is a big one for me. With this weight loss I just entered the "healthy" weight range for my height according to my BMI. This has been one of my main goals from the very beginning, it is going to be a great week!
