Just signed up for this with a team from work. Our corporation is really pushing health and wellness.

Weighed in at 252

gotta lose 42 pounds in 12 weeks

I sure wish the weather would cooperate. I've only ridden outdoors on my commuter 5 times this year. I am really hating to ride my nice roadbike on the trainer in the basement. It was snowing again yesterday.

Wish me luck...I still love food WAY too much.

Good story and good luck. Dealing with the same crappy weather down here in Chicago.

Were you planning to change to your food habits?

Yes, I eat too much and stop at fast food joints too often. Mainly portion control and healthy snacks. Summer is a little easier because my masters class is online so I spend less time driving to school. My willpower sucks.

Most people struggle to lose 2 pounds/week and you've signed up to lose 3.5 pounds/week. I think you've got a big challenge on your hands! Good luck!

I know where you're coming from. I pretty much eat enough for two people most days.
