Started biking about 6 weeks ago. Started at 200lbs (almost on the dot), 5'8". I am now still 5'8"
, but about 182lbs. But more important than the weight loss are: Better nutrition, more stamina and endurance when doing aerobic activity, more musculature, and the ability to fit into pants I haven't comfortably fit into for about 8 years now. I'm basically back to my weight when I was married, and my target is around 170lbs, which I haven't been since I was living with my parents
I am addicted to riding now, and hate to miss a morning's ride. I ride about 12 miles 5x a week in the morning before work (about 50 minutes), plus assorted family outings where I pull the two youngest in a trailer while my wife and two oldest ride along. It's a wonderful lifestyle, and I had no idea what I was missing!
I hope to get a road bike in a couple of years once I get much more in shape and am a better cyclist.
