From: Fairfax, VA commuting to Washington DC

Bikes: 2010 Kona Dew Drop (the daily driver),'07 Specialized Roubaix (the sports car), '99 ish Kona NuNu MTB (the SUV), Schwinn High Plains (circa 1992?) (the beater)

When I began bicycle commuting (this time) I was about 215 Lbs. Cycling and better (but far from perfect) diet has me down around 180-5 Lbs. Ideally, I'd like to get down below 165 Lbs, which was my lowest weight during my Army service (but still well above my 135 Lbs wrestling weight from HS), but I don't think I have it in me to make that kind of lifestyle change.

However, I don't think the scale tells the whole story, as I am fitting into clothes that were previously tight at 185, and I feel much, much better overall. I did notice some real gain over the winter, when I slacked off on cycling -- my weight was over 190 at one point. My goal for this winter is to dust off my Concept II and do some indoor rowing when the weather isn't cycling friendly enough (for me).
