Weight Loss
I just found this forum so I'll go ahead and make my contribution. First of all congrats to all those who have lost weight. It is very difficult to do.
My story seems to be similar to everyone else. Im my youth I raced a lot and weighed in at 165lbs. I quit racing, soon followed by wife and kids, and 18 years later I found myself at 270 lbs with high blood pressure. June 1 I decided to dust off the bike and do something about it. After 8 months I lost 72 lbs and am on my way to reach my goal of 170 lbs 1 year later on June 1 2004. This will be a total of 100 lbs lost. The 72 lost has been enough to get off the blood pressure meds and completely change my life. It is amazing how much more energy you have when you are not lugging around all that extra weight. I am hoping to jump into my first race in 18 years this summer. At least it will be with the over 40 crowd.
