and I am hooked for life! I am a brand new swimmer--learned in january. I did the danskin at disney. fabulous experience. I am 5' 7" and need to lose 30 pounds. I am curious as to how other overweight triathletes have lost weight. I aspire to the lean mean triathlete look!

That's so cool! One of my fellow competitors last week at another tri said she had done the Disney tri and said it was a blast. That must've been alot of fun.
I don't think I'll ever have the "triathlete" look but am working on it. I've lost about 12 lbs since April mainly from training for tri's and running 5k and 8k races. Also trying to eat better. More whole foods, fruits, veggies etc. The nutrition is the hardest part for me. I could live on pizza and malted milk balls- not the best diet. I'm 5'3" and would like to lose about another 15 pounds. I weigh about 148 right now. First time under 150 in a while.
If you figure out how to get the lean mean look, please let me know!

Hey guys- Keep me posted....I am trying for that look too. I am at 5'5" and weigh 150 lbs. I am taking it slow on training due to a knee injury and I am doing rehab right now to strenghten my legs. I actually injured it running on the treadmill!!!! So much for that idea.
