Can you help vote for me?

Okay, your story convinced me! I'm halfway to where you are weight loss wise and I really needed to hear from someone like you!

Welcome to the forum. Good luck on the team.

Thanks Karen! I realize that it's poor form for that to be my first post, but I'll be around. I need a place to talk about active stuff and my guess is that this is mostly women! I'm a forum addict, and it's a small community, so I'm sure you'll see me around!

Sarah, that is really cool. I am so glad you are sharing your story and inspiring others out there.

I came. I saw. I voted. GO, BRAVE SARAH!

We have a lot in common, though for me it's all cycling, no tri-ing. In the winter I do a super-hard spin training with racers and triathletes. I'm built like you - after the same amount of weight loss - and it took such courage to walk into the room filled with lean bodies and claim my spot in it - but I found out that I was judged only by the quality of my effort. I hope you find it the same in the world of triathlons. I will pass your info on to the training group so you can get their support.

Can I just say that you guys are awesome. Seriously. I was a bit worried about posting this here and I'm really glad that I did.

I'm amazed at how true this has been. I thought for sure that these people would leave me in the dust, and then I realized that it's not such a *secret* afterall. If you work hard and train, you get the respect.
