New to this thread...I pulled my bike out of storage for the first time in years last week. I'm riding every morning and it actually feels pretty good!

I haven't been part of this deal to date, but I've been working on loosing a few. I'm 6'1", was 225lbs 2 weeks ago, now down to 218lbs, my target is 200lbs. Just been scaling back on the brew and big meals, next step is excersize.

A few years ago I was close to 300lbs, I stopped the fast food, went to the gym and got down to 225, I've dipped below 220, but not consistently.
Waist is 38, inseam 32, and I really would love to get that down to a 34, So, as you goons as my witnesses, I am going to stop with the sweets for 1 week to start, see how that plays out, and go forward from there.
For the record, I go to the gym 3 -5 days a week, but mostly focus on cardio, will be mixing in more weight training, there's a few of us at work who go to the gym at lunch, so it's good motivation.
Thanks!!

I've reached my initial goal. I was around 245-50 about 14 months ago. No real diet, just watch what I was eating, and reduced my portion size. I have also included exercise. I started with a three mile walk everyday, and slowly began running part of that walk, until i was running the entire thing. Once I was running I dropped back to every other day, to avoid injury. Slowly, I increased the mileage to now my average run distance is 7.5 miles. A run from six to fifteen miles at a time now.

My weight now is 185, but I am going to go for another ten. I am six foot.
Its baby steps that get the job done. I have lost a pound a week, but looking back that adds up to sixty pounds.

Keep it up guys, the rewards are huge, not just your physical health. Your mental health will improve, and your brain will work better to.

I'm 16, 228lbs, 5'11. I was 242lbs about a month ago, and have started running, and eating right lately, although this last week I've been slacking :( My goal is 210lbs.

After hitting 338lbs in June on a 50 yr old 6'1" frame, I decided to change my ways.(again)
7 weeks away working in northern Ontario made it easier for the behavior modification to take hold.
My goal was to loose 5 lbs /week mostly through excercise and sensible eating.
I am happy to say as of today I have lost 45 lbs.
Now that I am home and I can only visit the TDPRI after I do a bit of fittness first. My goal is to continue to lose another 75 lbs.
Anyway it is nice to be back reading all of the cool posts again.

Cheers
Phil
