I lost a bit over 30 lbs this winter so far and I was hoping to break even or only gain a little . Iam one happy clyde been 30yrs since I saw this on a scale :) Ben 30 yrs since I have saw a LOT a things :roflmao2:

I know this is a selfserving post but I had to tell someone and you folks here have helped me a lot since I joined this forum . THANK YOU EVERYONE

Iam going to 220 lbs and see if I want to lose more Iam 6ft tall and now 258 lbs hot damn Iam happy never thought I could lose a 100 lbs ++ actually a 113 lbs so far:twitchy: OMG how did I let myself go so bad .

And to anyone trying to lose weight just do it if I can belive you me anyone can get your mind right and stay the course !!!!!

I need to lose what 38 lbs and I got the best ridiing weather to come here in Michigan to do it in this yr .

Thanks again to everyone here reading your stories really keeps me going .

Why not be self deserving you deserve it. I'm now at 220lbs from 305. 6'1" so about the same hieght as you. I'm gunning for 190lbs then revaluate and make a new goal. Cycling has taken over my life and would love to eventually see 175lbs.

Thanks My Doc say 210 to 220 would be a good weight for my frame thou he says ideal in his opinion 195 would be perfect ! But one step at a time .

I never thought I would be happy giving away thousands a $$$$$ in clothes thou OMG :)

Man, that is AWESOME!! Keep up the good work!!

Congratulations! And your post is NOT self-serving. Anyone who is inspired to make changes by your post proves my point.

No thanks, I never want to see a 56 waist again. Here's what one looks like, in case you forgot:

When I got rid of my size 60 suit and size 22 dress shirts, they and the rest of my 'fat' clothes went to Goodwill. I've already promised my 52 Longs to another Bike Forums poster when I can no longer wear them. Now to see about shrinking out of them. :)

As an aside, one of my suits is a gift from a poster here - he lost 60 some pounds, and it didn't fit him anymore. It fits me OK, but it's a black synthetic 4-button style that makes me look like I should be interviewed on ESPN. :)

HMM, we have the Trading thread. Why not post what you got to there, and have the takers pay for shipping?

What an AWESOME job! Congratulations. You'll be an emeritus before you know it.
