Until I was age 34, I treated my body very poorly. I sat around at home, at work, at play. I ate junk food and lots of it. And the result was what you'd expect 5'4" and 200 lbs with 36% body fat.
Then I decided to get healthy. I lost 50 lbs in 3 months. How? By working out 5 days a week 45-90min a day; and eating only 1200-1500 calories a day. Yes, it was extreme... and probably destined to start me on a yo-yo of weight gain and loss. But in the last three years I've kept it off.
The last two years I've really gotten into cycling and triathlon. I have averaged over 5000 miles per year on my bike in the last couple years. This past summer I completed my first Ironman Triathlon. I came in 13th place overall, 4th in my age group.
My typical weight is now around 145lbs. And I've had my body fat tested at around 19%. This past summer I got down to around 135lbs, and I'd like to be at that weight with more core muscle strength.
