Awesome pix Lise!
I agree it's great that your mom is being supportive now - enjoy it. I'm sure we all wished our moms would do that. Heck, I'd settle for dad but none of my family gets it. That's what friends are for!
Thanks for sharing
Dar

Lise:
It's been said by others, but you look gorgeous and radiant.
Knowing your story, I can't help thinking about that old pic of you as I look at the new tri pics. Wow, what a woman. You are doing wonderful things to yourself, and you do so with a great smile. You're on my heroes list.
Enjoy the good times! And hug your mom.

Ah! Thanks, you guys! It is really something to see myself through your eyes. I think that's one of the best things we can do for each other--reflect the beauty back.
I fret about my times in the race, my belly in the pictures, etc.
I forget the miracle that brought me from overweight, depressed, medicated and isolated in 2000 to strong, proud, unmedicated, happy, and a triathlete in 2006. The miracle, of course, is my willingness to trust others in moments of dispair, open my heart, look deeply at myself, be willing to change, and to find joy in something completely unexpected. Many unexpected things... What a privilege to stand among you strong, proud, hopeful women. And to laugh so much. L.

Lise, I am new the boards and don't know your history. It is easy to look at the photos and make the assumption that you have always been this trim, pretty, happy, successful athlete. Congratulations on your victories, and thank you for the honest sharing. What in inspiration for those of us dreaming of, or in the midst of, transformation. I admire you.

Lise, you're beautiful, both inside and out. Thanks for lighting up this board with your sunshine.
Your mom is awesome too. Give her a hug from all of us here.
...and I like your Campy rims...I have Vento's too (mine are dark grey, tho'). I have an older steel Bianchi frame of the same color that I keep saying I'm going to change into a track/fixed gear. What year, I dunno.
Keep at it, grrrl.
