Congrats Don. You have given me hope ... especially when I read your siggy. I started just shy of where you started in poundage and am aiming to get where you're at. Any secrets? I am down 25 lbs since February b y weight training 3x a week, riding as much as possible (longest ride to date: 26.5 miles averaging 12 mph or so), and adjusting my diet in a sensible way (more water, less soda, more fruits and veggies, fewer processed snacks, etc.) Are you using supplements at all? Do you recommend them?

Thanks all for your stories, and your humor . Take care!
