Northwest Indiana, about 45 miles SE of Chicago.

good job! I wish i could do that, i'm only up to 5 miles. you really do need some water for that distance though. again great job. :flowerforyou:

correction : sprint triathlons

congrats!! for me races keep me motivated and are kinda addicting. I am doing several 5k's and a few spring triathlon's this summer to keep me going. :smile: Great Job!!:flowerforyou:

Do you always swim outside? I swim at the Y mostly, but do try to get in some lake time prior to racing. Lake Michigan is near but very cold until August, although i have a wetsuit. Not many other swimable lakes near me.

Forgot to post it but i'm up 1 lb, ugh, TOM

haha, this one will be easy for me, I have 6 hours of PT a week to stretch my shoulder!! Plus a Flexinator machine at home that I am supposed to use for 10min 6X/day. Of course I will still also be swimming, biking, & running. :smile:

I use a camelback and like it. Easier than reaching down for a water bottle.

Congrats! I was thinking of starting a group for triathletes. I have been doing sprint tri's for 6 years but took a couple years off due to a hip injury. Only did one last year, have at least 3 planned for this year. Currently I have a frozen shoulder that will hold me back on the swim a little, but I can do breastroke…

I love riding, have clips, padded spandex shorts, and aero bars!! Going 50 miles tomorrow with a crazy group of riders. They ride every weekend in the summer both Saturday and Sunday, a group of 5-15 riders usually show up. I am hoping it doesn't rain tomorrow morning, I think Sunday it is a greater chance of rain. In…

How about a photo of the two of you in a nice frame? Or a movie if he likes watching tv.

If you have to buy a new vehicle at least you can write off the sales tax for vehicles purcased this year! Thanks Obama. And help out the economy! My husband works in the steel industry so we would like everyone to go buy a new car and new appliances! :smile:

You are an inspiration! Love the story! You truly are Miss Gorgeous. :flowerforyou:

Do we weigh-in on Sundays?

I am thinking of getting a digital scale. I try to make my best guess but if you guess on the right side of the number it may feel like it takes longer to drop that next pound!

Breakfast: fresh fruit & yogurt(you didn't say you disliked or liked) Lunch: Turkey sandwich, no mayo Dinner: chicken(lots of recipes out there), keep trying different vegetables there has to be at least one you like! Baked potatoe with salsa. Snack: mozz cheese sticks, I agree with the others that you need to cut down on…

no scientific evidence but i heard somewhere your body actually burns more calories when it's cold trying to keep itself warm.

Have you been to the Dr.? maybe you need your thyroid checked?

i wear running shorts with liners, no underwear.

I ran 2 miles this morning and then swam 500 yards breast stroke. Ran another 2.5 miles this afternoon. Had so many exercise calories i can't eat them all. :smile:

make sure you have a good pair of running shoes($100+) worth every penny, change every 300-500 miles and only wear for running. next, stretch your foot after your run, roll it over a can, and then ice the bottom of your foot rubbing the ice across it. Another stretch is the stair stretch where you stand on the edge of the…

Hope you don't mind I'm going to run instead of walk

well after a disappointing last week of no loss, this week: woosh! I lost 3 lbs! well alnost 3, i don't have digital scale. Probably helped that i biked for 5 hours this weekend! Starting wt: 155 Goal wt: 150 Curr wt: 150 Hopefully next month will continue with progress! :smile:

I looked at your pics and I can tell you have lost weight! And accomplished many other goals. Just remember how long it took to put on the weight, just keep working for your goals and before you know it you wil be there! Remember when you were a freshman how long away graduation seemed?! Keep at it, you're doing great!…

I found my body responds best to running as well, it is the only way that i really lose weight. to get really motivated try the 'coach to 5k' program and sign up for a 5k race! :flowerforyou:

what weight do you think is appropriate to wear a bikini? :blushing:
