Fat Boy #2 Checking in.
I've never been slim, small,...etc. I have however, always been active and strong. I was a weightlifter/trainer in my youth and succummed (sp?) to the thrill of getting HUGE. I got to the point where I could easily bench 300+ and could squat 590. After spending numerous years behind a desk, that mass got soft! I've always cycled, to help with cardio. Currently I'm about 230 lbs, but carry my weight well. I'm constantly watching what I eat, but my only vice is drinking too much soda's (Mt. Dew's specifically).
I also wear baggy shorts, baggy jersey's on my mtn. bike. On my road bike I wear spandex shorts and as big a jersey as is available. NOTE: All cycling jersey's run small. An XXL barely fits and is difficult to find for a good price.
I'm out there trying to get more fit and lose weight. I wear the clothes I wear more for performance, not style.
In reality, I could care less what strangers think of how I look.
