The most important thing is figuring out your "why".

I used to be in the Army and was in great shape throughout my early 20s and then fell off the wagon for half a decade. At the start of 2017, I was 33 years old and 258 lbs, was eating like crap, was drinking far too much and hadn't exercised in over a year. My daughter was due in March and I decided I wanted to be a positive roll model in her life and wanted to actually be there to watch her grow up.

Since January of last year I have lost 50lbs, greatly decreased by drinking, completed 3 sprints and am signed up for an Olympic and half this year. During the training days I just focus on my 'why' and it gets me through it.

As far as how I did it:

1) Track calories on myfitnesspal and sync my gamin for calories burned from exercise. I've had my ups and downs, but overall it has been going well.

2) Set a goal race and start training. For my first sprints, I followed this plan, which really eases into everything: Tri Newbies 10 Week Plan. For the longer races, I've been using the Be IronFit Book and have been very happy with the progress.
