First post on BikeForums.
I'm inspired by the efforts and results discussed by you all. I've starting putting my 55 year old body, with back issues, into pedal motion and have seen a shift from 6'/310 to 295 in a couple months. Now I'm encouraged and looking for a better bike.
I hope to regain the joy I had with riding and that this motivation develops into an aim. Goalsetting for me right now is that simple...to enjoy motion. (big shift from recent movement patterns/non-movement) Results will follow.
Thanks for posting your experience...it is fuel for the fire!
