And it didn't help when my wife said, "you can't be seen in that! :eek:" seeing me in my speedo before the first practice. My confidence was shaken, but I still went and just focused on the workouts, not my appearance, and the weight has been taking care of itself.
This morning I stepped on the scale and weigh a fairly fit 203!

This rings for me as well. On Memorial Day I decided that I needed to lose some weight. I was at 205 then (at 6'0"). Now I am a relatively trim 180 and getting into crazier and crazier endurance events. Yesterday was the Olympic distance triathlon. Now I'm aiming for a half-Ironman. And some longer swims of course!
