I used triathlon training to lose a ton of weight in the past. Unfortunately

due to my multiple back surgeries multiple doctors have told me to be done with running completely. I think running as part of other sports is probably ok but it's the mile after mile jarring that isn't any good for my back. I need to find a good substitute to help keep my girlish figure.

Great post. You got me rethinking the tortilla chips I was eating while reading.

Nice. I am down about 80lbs this yr. Running is now fun. Another challenge.

For me, changing the way I ate was what made my weight loss happen.

That was a big part of it for me as well. I still eat the things

Swimming. It's better cardio than running, and less impact stress on the body.

Carbs are killer for weight loss, but it does depend on the type of carbs

Same here, used to hate running. Audiobooks make it way better.

Sounds very similar to where I am at right now

Pedigree has also given an added sense of urgency. Genetics aren't in my favor.
