Start now! If you belong to a gym, you can look into a body pump class or get a personal trainer to get you started. Since I have an odd schedule, I do weights at home with videos off of sites like Fitness Blender, Tone it up, and a few others on YouTube. I love how strong it's making me feel. I am purposefully trying to…

Yep. This

Thank you for sharing your story, you COMPLETELY rock!! Congrats!!

You are all sorts of awesome!!! Be careful, though, that Triathlon bug has bit you now.... there's no turning back :)

You are beautiful (before and after) but love the mischievous after pics! You are all sorts of awesome-ness.

Way to go!!! You rock!

Um. WOW!!! You are awesome!

Good suggestion... thank you!

Way to go!! You look fantastic and much happier :) How tall are you? What kind of exercise did you do?

I am a big fan of the 2 piece tri suit. I also wear a quik dri sports bra to keep the girls in check :) SunshineGRL, which tri are you doing on the 4th? I will be doing the Syracuse IG. Loads of fun. Sadly, my training has been piss poor, but I am excited nevertheless.

ARe you ready???Good luck this weekend!

That is AWESOME!!! You should be very proud!!

Congrats to all the new parents! I am not a new parent (have a 6 & 9 year old). My only suggestion is to allow yourself to acclimate for a few months. Enjoy your baby and get sleep when you can :). After you are used to this strange new person who requires constant attention, and he/she gets into a routine, then work on…

I am!!! I have a great training program too and would be happy to email it to you. It's a 10 week beginners program (but a little hard for a REAL beginner) but I loved it.

Way to go!!! And good for you for losing prior to surgery... your knees will thank you :) <---- can't wait to get to one-derland!

That is freaking awesome! Way to go!

Way to go! you are my new inspiration :) You look fantastic!

I need to quit too.... I have done 3 sprint tri's and training for them this year is SO MUCH HARDER than 2 years ago. I am turning 40 this year too and I need to stop. Chantix gave me nightmares, so I am thinking the patch. Maybe the group that the PP brought up?

FANTASTIC Job!!!!

Definitely! I have done 5 AIDS Rides and 2 Tri's and love to cycle, but just got back into it after a 1 year (30 lb) hiatus. I am in VA and can't wait till I can get out for some long rides! I agree with the PP about weight and speed. It's so much harder right now with my midsection so large.

I don't like the Zumba, actually. If you've ever done a class you will be disappointed. Plus the Kinect doesn't seem to recognize your movements as well as it does in other games. So I do Dance Central 1 & 2 fitness mode and YourShape 2012 is AWESOME! Although seeing myself on screen in YourShape is quite the fright.

That's awesome! Your progress pics at 4:38- end are simply inspiring! Congrats! BTW - I all about tris, but that 24 hour run was NUTS!

I wouldn't get the Zumba.... it's not as good as other Kinect Games. another vote for Shape Fitness 2012

CONGRATS!!!! You know what they call a person who comes in last in a triathlon? A Triathlete!!!!!! BTW - Your time is actually pretty damn good!

That is AWESOME!!!! Congrats on the loss and the quitting smoking which is SO SO hard!
