Is it possible to

Lose 30 pounds in a healthy manner in only 7 months? (staying away from the desertdude diet plan)

Go from a 16 hour IM time to a 11 hour IM time in the same 7 months?

Just use a book for all your workouts and IM training plans for above goals?

Use a roadbike to accomplish the above goals?

NO, loose 30 lbs in 210 days?

30 lbs in 7 months - sure. Not too hard (healthy that is)

16 hour IM to 11 hour IM in 7 months? Not gonna’ happen, even if said person looses 30+ lbs!

Book for IM training plans - of course! 16 to 11 ours is certainly doable, just not likely in 7 months.

Roadbike - sure! You really don’t “need” a tri bike. Now, going for sub 9 or 10 hours? You just might :wink:

depends how heavy you are now

prob if you work hard and train right

yes

yes
.

whats wrong with the desert dude diet plan? I use it all the time. I’m crushed and now must cry.
