I was 280lbs at my high and am now 258. Last year I rode 500 miles and lost 10lbs. This year my goal is to complete at least 1,000 miles (assuming the weather breaks soon). I used to do 1,000 miles in my youth so I know it can be acheived. I also hope to drop another 20lbs with a final goal of 200lbs.

My approach is not to follow a diet plan, but to change my life style so I can get down to my goal weight and sustain it once I get there. While it is taking me a few years, I feel I can work with this system and not lose interest like one would while going on a purge diet.

Thanks to all who post here. It is a true inspiration.


Good luck to all in achieving your 2014 goals,
John S
