wow thats alot of help thank you so much for taking the time to help, what you said makes alot of sense, I dont balance things very well with my diet thats probablly why I got to be 242 lbs and 6'2".

I do not drink near enough water,hardly any during the day only before and after a workout.. the calculator up top what it suggested I eat each day, so I go back to work tomorrow soI'll start keeping a log book of all my calories and such and make sure I come in under.

I wonder how many calories I burn with each work out? I thought about buying a heart monitor too.

thanks for all your help Mrs. Plainsman, your husbands been a great help and a confidence booster for me, 2 weeks till race day and I finally feel ready.

I'm Aren by the way!
