Triathlete who needs some new friends!
Hey all! I've been here for a while, and had some great success. I had a rough winter filled with too much snow (Boston, hey-o), and a few injuries. I'm back and sadly, a lot of my friends are no longer around much. This is where you come in! I'm a vegetarian triathlete (I race... a lot) living in New England. I'm focused…

Any other glasses faces who race?
Triathlons are my big passion but I wear glasses (womp womp). It's not a big problem during the swim since the buoys are nice and bright and huge, and I don't mind running without my glasses but I really need to see when I'm biking (for obvious reasons). What do y'all do? Is it worth investing in a nicer pair of…

RMV NSV and lots 'o pics
My birthday was on Monday (yay!) and I turned 26 (booo..) which meant it was time for a new licence. Headed to my RMV only to be told by the lady that even though I wasn't up for a new picture, because of my extreme weight loss, she was making me take one. She even made me pull out my old licence to prove that I had it and…

Fresh meat?
This whole thing is not new to me, but I like to see new faces on my friend's list every once in a while. I run, bike, swim and lift and like other fitness-oriented friends rather than just the low-calorie bunch, but I ain't picky. I'm super friendly and like to really get to know my friends on here, so add away!

I lost 70 pounds!
Hey everyone, I am still in the middle of my journey, but I've been really enjoying everyone's success stories so I thought I'd add my own since I reached sort of a milestone recently. Seven years ago I weighed around 280-290 pounds. I started exercising and somehow managed to lose 30 pounds, but since I never really…

Any vegetarians out there?
Are there any vegetarians out there doing this program? I just started last week and I am having a little trouble meeting my protein goals without resorting to lots of powders and bars, which I don't really want to do all day long. How do you get your protein in throughout the day? Anyone with an open diary or willing to…

I'm done!
Sooo apparently I graduated Couch to 5k and didn't even know it! I was a few weeks away from the end but I had such a great run at my triathlon last week, I said screw it and ran with just my music today figuring I could walk whenever I needed to. Next thing I knew, I looked up and was back at home and I had run the whole…

From morbidly obese to merely overweight! (with pictures)
So, I started this whole thing at my highest weight of 290ish. This is the only picture that exists of me at that weight: I lost a little weight and lived at 268 for a few years: Today, about 9 months after I started really focusing on my fitness I am 202.5 pounds and officially in the overweight category according to the…

NSV - I just did my first triathlon! (with pictures)
I have never, ever, ever EVER seen myself as any sort of athlete - I was the kid who had every excuse in the world to get out of gym class. Yeah. So when my friend suggested after seeing my weight loss success that I do a triathlon with her, it kind of took me aback. Me? No way. But, after some time to think I figured with…

New runners or triathletes?
So, I have been here for a few weeks and loving it - I have a 5k coming up in June and my first triathlon in July (eep!) and I would LOVE to get some new friends who could offer any encouragement or advice. Any takers?

I'm new! Be my friend!
Hey everyone, I'm back to the site after not using it for a while. i could use some friends to help keep me going, if anyone is interested! I'm doing a triathlon in July, so I'd especially love anyone who could give me help with that but I'm interested in meeting anyone and everyone.
