fatness

Originally posted by F'ueco 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! That is awesome! Congratulations on the weight loss. It hard to work out just for the sake of losing weight, but when you have some other goal in mind, like a half-Ironman, its somehow easier to focus on that and let the weight take care of itself. You even start to watch what you eat and look at food as (like some else mentioned) fuel. Good luck with the half-Ironman. Finishing something like that would be a huge accomplishment.
