You guys seriously rock. These are kick ass goals. I have to say "please check with your doctor regarding your allergies and getting tested for celiac" but regardless-I know many have seen an improvement with respiratory issues, and I wish the same to you :) Awesome goal!

I've been struggling with asthma and allergies that have had an impact on my breathing. I'm hoping that going GF will help.

I was just thinking of you the other day. Glad to hear you are well. I did a couple of crits back in my riding days-and have a nice couple inch scar above my right eye to prove it ;) Good luck on the Duathalon girl! I can't run unless I'm being chased.... Keep me posted on the October show! I think I'll do one more in September or early October. Hey Kelly! I was just thinking of you the other day. Glad to hear you are well.

You could totally do it if you chose to. Discipline is simply a habit that moves you toward a goal. Seeing the top 2 abs is awesome! Keep in mind that this level of conditioning is for a competition-not maintainable to walk around like that 365 days. So now I'm dealing with seeing a layer of water blurring the definition, and will regain about 6 pounds of fat over the next couple months. And I expect that, and while it's not totally easy, I know it's necessary for health. Then when I want to I'll bring it back down again. Bodies need time to regenerate and rest, as hard as it can be mentally to be OK with those changes. So reach your goal and your challenge-and then be gentle, back off a bit, reassess, and then hit a new goal :) I think we need to start an accountability section on the Facebook page for these goals!

Congrats on your strong finish in Figure! I'm looking forward to my upcoming Duathlon, plan some charity rides on the bike (not brave enough for Criterium yet), and will probably have to dust off my heels for October. Still loving the website and all the things you post! You looked great Erin! Congrats on your strong finish in Figure!

Amazing discipline. I had the discipline to starve myself but I'm not sure I could find the balance to do something like this. You've inspired me though and I've set myself a goal of achieving 6 pack abs. My back, shoulders and arms are pretty well defined and I have the top part of my abs. It's the rest that need some work. So thanks for the challenge and continued inspiration. YES! Amazing discipline. I had the discipline to starve myself but I’m not sure I could find the balance to do something like this.

I guess the point is that we all have our own obstacles and struggles-the important thing is to not let these derail you from sticking to your guns and achieving your goals. Best wishes with your foot-this too will pass! Monica, you are so kind Thank you very much.

I actually do think that you are special. The kind of discipline and determination to do what you have done while patiently facing down the kinds of obstacles you have is neither common nor run of the mill. You are definitely an inspiration. I have been having a great deal of difficulty recovering from foot surgety and maintaining a decent level of fitness, but my issues pale in comparison to what you have endured. It helps me to be reminded that it could not only be worse, but you have faced worst and still claimed the victory. Thank youso much for sharing! You are a humble one Erin.

Awesome goals! I very much admire your half marathon goal-that would totally be madness for me! And yes-weight (scale) and measurements do not correlate all the time-smaller is by far the more important measure of success. And YAY on the squatting goal! I'm rooting for you! Keep us posted on how you make out. And thank you very much for the kind words. Constant improvement is the goal :) Hey Katy!
