Great accomplishment! I appreciate you posting this. At 42 year old myself it encouraging to see someone else successfully changing themselves.

Very impressive. Do we get to hear your strategy? For you, what was the key to success?

Just because you log your exercise does not mean you MUST eat those calories back.

Strong work.

Great job! Similar story. The work it takes to get to this point is recognized.

Outstanding! I'm finding that food prep helps me also.

I posted almost the exact same thing in "Motivation and Support". Your reply is over there.

So far I've been focusing on running. I have been out on my mountain bike a few time and ride the bike at the gym. My neighborhood pool opens in a couple of weeks and I'll start swimming more. Fortunately the sprint I'm registered for has the swim in a pool (not open water). Looking into doing some adult swim lessons by…

Villae81 - I think you are correct. The run in a sprint tri is only a 5k and I'm running that 2 or 3 times a week now and have not crashed. Right now, fat loss is priority. But, I'm open to opinion if more experienced athletes have advise.

SW- 276 CW- 247 GW- 199 My other main goal is to not die in the sprint triathlon I'm training for. I'll work on getting some pics together soon. Until then, friend request sent to all you awesome guys.

I agree. Breathing is key. When I pick up the pace I'm a 3 count in, 2 count out person also.

OUTSTANDING. I'm impressed. Friend request sent.

Strong work.

Hi Dan. I've got a few years on you. I'm 41 but my kid is 8. Having always been a big guy, I really let myself go a while back and shot up to 276 lbs. I'm now 247 and have a goal weight of 199. I ran four 5Ks last year and will run another in 2 weeks. Now I'm signed up for a sprint triathlon and am training to not die.

This post made my day. My goal is to be under 200lbs. Last year I started running and ran 4 5Ks. I stalled over the winter but have regained momentum. Great job brother.

Strong work!
