Slow Fat Triathlete Plug

OK, I have had lots of surprised, (but supportive responses) to my goal of losing weight and using a triathlon as my vehicle. That's OK. I am very optimistic and motivated to get fit and lose this weight that has been bogging me down for years. I have no doubt that I can do it, but I have been a little concerned about where I'll be at by the time next year rolls around. I have been surfing the web for resources for "beginners", "overweight" triathletes and long term training plans. In that search I came across Jayne Williams and her concept of the Slow Fat Triathlete. She started out pretty much where I did at my peak weight, plus some injuries. She lost a bunch of weight and began competing in triathlons irregardless of her shape or jiggly-ness as she puts it. She wrote a book which I picked up at Borders yesterday (along with a running and cycling magazine). I love her sense of humor, her realistic attitude and helpful hints. She is definitley inspriational in fighting the fight, despite being fat or slow. Check her out at: http://www.slowfattriathlete.com/.
