Greetings from the tidewater flatlands of Virgina Beach, average elevation 12 feet.
I came to the forums a couple of years ago for a bike recommendation and after reading lots of messages, decided on an Electra Townie 3. It turned out to be a great choice and it helped me get from 390 to 345.
Then last summer I had an accident (really stupid, involving a package in one hand and a dog leash in the other and going down at the end of my driveway.) I tore my rotator cuff and was out of commission for months with therapy, surgery and more therapy. I put most of the weight back on over the winter, thanks the painkillers and the La-Z-Boy, but since getting back on the bike (and into the gym, and shunning donuts lol) in May I've lost the weight again. I would like to be under 300 by the end of the year.
All y'all's stories are inspiring and I am going to try to be more active here to help me be more educated and motivated.
