This had been an excellent thread to read! Having weighed 40 pounds more than I now weigh my thought is that being overweight is hard, losing weight is hard and maintaining weight is hard. We each get to choose the hard we want to deal with. I prefer the hard work of maintenance.

I am 5' 4" sw 160 cw 127 gw 124.

I am also training for my first Tri. Is there a tri group and /or store near you? They often have several resources for beginners.

Matthew, I agree. It takes the pressure off me to decide what I will eat when I am hungry, and motivates me to exercise on the days when I may be tempted to skip.
